How can edit an item's equipment type?

To edit an item's equipment type, you need to call the CraftDataHandler.SetEquipmentType() method sitting in the SMLHelper.V2.Handlers namespace

Overloads

There is only one overload for this method:

CraftDataHandler.SetEquipmentType([TechType] techType, [EquipmentType] equipmentType);

Parameters

• [TechType] techType is the item that you want to modify the equipment type for. This can be both an existing and a custom item.

Example: TechType.Titanium

• [EquipmentType] equipmentType is the equipment type to set for the item.

Example: EquipmentType.Head

Usage

Using this knowledge, if we wanted to wear titanium on our head, we could do this:

CraftDataHandler.SetEquipmentType(TechType.Titanium, EquipmentType.Head);

Warning: It is dangerous to edit equipment types for items that already have one, because they might break!

Example: Don't edit the equipment type for the Radiation Helmet, because then you won't be able to wear it!

Congratulations! You have successfully made a titanium helmet! :P
