Last time I tried configuring one of my characters who has nice cyborg arms or forearms while wearing something skimpy, I tried doing at least cyborg hands for her trench coat costume...and was unable to find the cyborg hands or arms...not sure if I was just attacking it wrong, b/c of how the combos sometimes work out, but thought I'd slip that into someone's queue for eventually maybe getting with a pre-issued "pretty please" and "thank you for all your laborious work on costume props" to help sweeten the pot. 😃
#robot hands for trench coat/duster costume?

so the costume creator will sometimes restrict options based on the category chosen
in this case the various upper body jacket/coat/etc categories will restrict some of the glove options, because many of the larger glove models will clip through the long sleeves on those coats/jackets/etc
unfortunately it has to end up restricted based on category rather than anything lower down, even if you don't actually pick one of the jackets/coats/etc with long sleeves, as currently set up that's the level where the character creator can do that sort of thing
Yup. What Muon says is precisely the general rule of how the costume libraries have been organized.
But @lethal vine IF there is a specific hand/glove (which goes ALL the way up the forearm to just below the elbow) that you feel has been left out and could be a good candidate for something that would not clip with the myriad full sleeves on a jackets,
Please feel encouraged to post in this thread a screenshot of the glove as well as its in game part name.
I or @vagrant patio can during one of our work cycles look into that part to see if it could be made to work.
It's rare, but occasionally there are things that can be ported over as is with just a few lines of code. It always helps to have extra eyes of invested players on the look out for these opportunities.
But again, we need a screenshot and part names. 🙂
I'll do my best to look things up and get you the part names as accurately as I can...TBI is a bit---of a pain. Sorry.
But, honestly, I'd be happy with just a glove option that was a cyborg or clockwork hand. Unless I missed that in the duster/trench coat costume selector options...and that'd be my fault if I did.
The problem is the forearms. And that some sleeves expose the forearms. There are ways we on the art team can rip existing geometries and do a tiny bit of resizing so IF the forearm was exposed at all, it still reads as your cyborg or clockwork hand.
That said, there being no robotic hands is kinda an issue thematically.
