Ok SK, that paste transparent materials file will work now dynamically. https://pastebin.com/Wf7u57sw here is the template for any other inventory items.

You are of course welcome to the discord for AiEnabled to discuss this more real time if you like.

here SK this is what is needed to align each item. https://pastebin.com/eP3HBg7R

I suggested subID matching but we'll see what he does, if the materials are in the shields now, it'll be on his side to get it sorted, thanks for doing that.
Deapri 20 Mar @ 7:23pm 
Working on that, jTurp said he needs to adjust the script to also recognize, going to see if it can be made a little more dynamic.

What does this changes? I applied it and nothing looked changed to me (and the icon in bot inventory is still the default cube icon)

well, they are implicitly referenced to be used by the helper bots now, I was wondering if you would be willing to add text hud api transparency compatibility for the icons?

"Yep, it works with hounds " so i could build like these Starwars rolling bots with gattlings and when they engage they are also protected by shields 0_0

needs blue colored shield though =)

Alright, thank you!
