that's just how it is for attachables, even the vanilla trident have this same problem
rose terrace
animation.player.first_person.attack_rotation is the animation the player entity has for punching.
You can copy it and customize it to fit attachables, though it's a little annoying to make
yes, you just need to use q.is_item_name_any(slot.weapon.mainhand) or q.get_equipped_item_name to filter one or the other animation, in the first person animation controller.
https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Molang#query.is_item_name_any
https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Molang#query.get_equipped_item_name
In Vanilla, the attack animation is only weighted by v.attack_time > 0.0f.
If you implement your own attack animation for attachables next to it, you can use for it: v.attack_time > 0.0f && q.any(q.get_equipped_item_name, 'custom_item_1', 'custom_item_2').
And conversely, for the original vanilla animation: v.attack_time > 0.0f && !q.any(q.get_equipped_item_name, 'custom_item_1', 'custom_item_2'), the exclamation point inverts the condition
yes, but there's quite a bit more to implement to easily mirror the animation in first person.
I've written the steps to make that for another person a while ago, it may be a bit confusing to follow since we were conversing about their model, but I think it's all there https://discord.com/channels/314078526104141834/1175877179079405658
Or, actually, I think I got confused, only some of the process is similar. That other person was asking about showing the player's arms in first person and animating them
Ok I reread the post, and the start of it is about putting the item in the left hand.
To make that, you can start with just making the item in the right hand, and then deal with mirroring it.
You'll have to apply a custom "empty hand" animation on the left arm bones to position the attachables correctly. Then, just duplicate the right side of the model and flip it (bind it to leftitem too), and that should do it
Once correctly setup, you'll be able to just copy and paste the model, or keyframes in your animations, and use Flip X
If you're lost at any point, feel free to ask again how to do specific things. It's a little easier for me if you send files or screenshots of them to show where you are at.

You'll have to edit the Vanilla player RC
#1191259929277898783 message
And edit the first person animations. It's a bit of a process, but it has some similarities with what you wanted to do with the dual weapon

@foggy flax You can use any query in the keyframes of an animation. They won't do anything in Blockbench, but in game they will return the values corresponding to the entity that plays these animations. In Blockbench, you can use the Variable placeholders tab to give them values, to preview the result, but you won't need them for what you want to do (except for the custom first person animation, but you have other things to implement before doing that)
Careful with the cubes that aren't bound to a group. Blockbench will create another group for you, but it's best to nest everything you want it to manually.
You should start by implementing your attachable with just the "hold" animations.
You did setup correctly in Blockbench by picking the 1st person Animation mode. All you need to do is adjust the item's rotation and position to match what you want
I recommend you use a group named "root" at the root of the model, then another one named "item" or something similar. "item" should contain the cubes of your model, and have the binding to rightitem
This is because there can be a position offset between the game and Blockbench, although that bug may have been fixed. Nothing to worry about if you have a root group.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/attachables.html#top this guide can help you. It's slightly outdated in some parts last time I checked, but if something isn't right you can look into it. Use the Method n°2 in it.

toggling this one will also help tackling issues due to misspelling / bad syntax
nest item under root now
I also recommend positioning the weapon near the origin in the bind pose (what it looks like in Edit Mode, without any animation applied), in such a way that makes it easy to pose in third person (basically minor adjustments like shifting the position of the weapon to the side by 0.5 or 1 unit).
Make sure both the root and item groups have a pivot point at [0,0,0]
no, you'd want it wherever the handle is. Wherever the weapon is handled from, to make animations easily
Do keep the pivot points at [0,0,0], it's the cubes inside that you should move to put the middle of the handle also at [0,0,0] in Global space
I'll be going now, I can check again later today.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/attachables.html#method-2-bound-to-a-bone regarding this tutorial, diregard the Display Settings part, you don't need this now that there are 1st and 3rd person preview in Blockbench. The paragraphs above about bindings are still relevant, but I think you probably got that part already.

The scale tool is the one meant to scale up or down the model uniformly, or only on chosen axis. If you select the root group and scale, it should work well. Though for bedrock entity models, you’ll want to avoid decimals for the size of cubes, it makes the texture resolution inconsistent and weird to work with.
If you need to adjust the size of the weapon, you should probably do it by hand with the resize tool and position tool, the scale tool is more useful when you make meshes in the generic format, or when you have big complex models you need to resize.
You can also use scale keyframes in the "hold" animations on the item group to tweak the scale by just a bit
rose terrace
I mean yeah, to do it cleanly.
You haven't textured it yet by the looks of it, so there is not much to lose. If you want to respect the texture resolution and style of Minecraft, you'll have to come up with simpler models. Things like a trigger mechanism could be simplified to just 1 or two pixels on a plane, or even not be there at all. If you're not after that, then it's ok to keep the model big, and just scale it down in the "hold" animations.
Whatever you do, don't size things in between 0 and 1, it will be a pain to texture. Keeping every cuboid size a multiple of 1 is best too.

You have stretched UVs pretty much everywhere, you're probably using the Per-face UV mode, but have resized cubes after you created the texture.
You should delete the current one, and create a new texture using the template (keep the options about regenerating the UVs).
Alternatively, you can do it manually, by selecting the UVs and using the Auto UV tool.

Just tried the leggings preset, and it gave me the same errors, I'm not sure where something went wrong with the plugin preset.
Here's a modified geo file for you to work off of, I made sure it worked in game:
rose terrace
What I sent is a model. You should find the attachable file, and edit to reference "geometry.cat_tail" in its geometry. Or the other way around, rename the identifier of the geometry I sent.
rose terrace
can you open the model I sent with its texture in Blockbench, and see that it's just like Vanilla iron leggings?
You should download the texture I sent with it, and implement it just to have a clean base
As for the error, I think you may have one too many bracket at the end of the attachable. Are you using Visual Studio Code to edit your files?
oh yeah nevermind about that bracket, it looks good
Can you wear the "Steve" Skin for your player, and take another screenshot in game, floating mid-air?
Whatever you have makes it difficult to understand where the armor is
Are you using some third party addon to change your player skin?
Alright
Double check the identifiers in the attachable file and on the model. The texture as well, make sure it's the iron leggings one. It still looks like it's using another model and/or texture
Make sure to not keep duplicates of models in the same project with the same identifier, or whatever entity that uses them will pick one of the two at random, and you'll be left wondering what went wrong if you forgot about them
And still the same thing in game? All while making sure you're wearing the right item
Triple check the texture path. Is the texture reference the one that I sent you and that you can see in Blockbench.
The one over the torso in game looks like an old one from a texture template
Use your PC's file explorer?
You can right click the texture in Blockbench and do "Show in File Explorer" to go faster
that's only the geo file, and not even the directory of where it saved to
ok, what about the texture? Are you using Windows?
Do you know what the file explorer is
Navigate to where the project should be saved https://wiki.bedrock.dev/guide/project-setup.html
And find the iron leggings texture for the model, in the textures folder
you have implemented "pink_cat_tail", not "cat_tail"
in the attachable
Is it pink and black in game?
or is it something else
Well, check again the texture path, for the attachable and on your PC
And does it look good in Blockbench when you apply that texture to that model?
Yw

remove durability count from the code
and also durability use
yes
also remove the event that decreases durability amount
oak kite
in events, usually below components
oak kite
that I have no current ideas for fixing that problem
rose terrace
send your animation file if you can. If not send a screenshot. It must be missing a bracket, or has an extra one. Something of that ilk
rose terrace
I don't know
The file you sent is valid. But the error points to another file: slime_staff.animation.json. Look for issues there. Maybe this file does not contain any animation
rose terrace
The error about the item is pretty self-explanatory, open the file in Visual Code and check where a curly bracket is missing.
As for the binding expression errors, I think they come from the leggings model you have going, but it is different from the one I uploaded.
In the one I uploaded, I just named the groups the same as the ones on the Vanilla player geometry (root, body, rightleg, leftleg), which is an alternative way of making attachable groups follow the wearer's geometry. They don't need binding expressions then.
You have renamed 'body' to 'body2', so that one won't follow the Vanilla 'body' group.
You must have binding expressions on each group since you get errors about that, and I believe it is because you used the names of some armor model, instead of the player model's groups.
There isn't any 'rightlegging' or 'belt' group on the player itself, you have ot reference 'rightleg', 'body' etc
