Trying to make an object that requires the player to have a specific wieldable in hand to interact with it.

I have a cup and a keg. I want to be able to equip and wield the cup in hand and interact with the keg to fill it. Essentially the keg would act something like a vending machine, but instead of checking for money it would check to see if you have a cup in hand. Ideally it would also call a function on the cup that would cause the beer in the cup to become visible, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to work with wieldables in this way.

In general, having a ToolComponent for wieldables would be great.
I did try to implement it myself in another project before finding out about Cogito. I can check out if it might be possible to add it there

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I've started work on this!

It's still very early but this what I got so far:

1. a new component on interactive objects that checks if the player is wielding a certain wieldable and if yes, calls a specific method on interact.
2. a new item type + wieldable type that can store certain contents referred to by an index (this makes it a bit easier to keep it up between resources, but is also a bit less user-friendly, will see if I can improve this a bit).

With this I was able to:

• make a wieldable coffe mug.
• make a coffee machine that fills the mug with coffee.
• alternatively I could also make a watercooler that would fill the same mug with water.
• the mug stores what it's filled with between equip/unequip.
