tModLoader Modded Sword's Handle not in characters hand (HELP!)

[Inkplasm]

I'm trying to add in a sword based on the Ultima Weapon from Kingdom Hearts, but the handle appears out of the characters hand when I swing it. Anyone have any advice?

here's the weapon

Yeah, made two weapons so far

From ExampleGun.cs:

// Help, my gun isn't being held at the handle! Adjust these 2 numbers until it looks right.
/*public override Vector2? HoldoutOffset()
{
return new Vector2(10, 0);
}*/

Add this under your class like everything else.

Is this working for melee weapon?

I’d have to assume it works for any item.

I’d have to assume it works for any item.

hmm, but the documentation said it's only working for itemstyle=5 (which is not sword), and I can't use that in my sword.
But let's wait for @ThatOneKiwi's response, if it isn't work, i can show my workaround.

Kiwi, thank you for all the sprites you’ve done for, our, my, mod. It was an honor working with you, I hope you the best on what’s going on in your life and what you do in the future. Thank you!
[doublepost=1519422210,1519421985][/doublepost]To add to that last one, may I use your dev armor as normal armor? As remeberance of you?

It won't work for me. Trying very hard to figure it out, but I can't find a solution anywhere. Please help.

Update: Just resize the .png file so that way everything is at the edges. If not, you can use glow masks and draw updates. It's a little complicated, but it works.

Any chance you could show that workaround? this is something I'm really struggling with. I drew a pink square around my sprite, and it seems to only be detatched only when the sword is large. HoldoutOffset and HoldoutOrigin work for type 5 attack styles like staffs and bows, but sadly not for swords.

Edit: I took the photo before drawing the pink square, just btw
