Doubt about equipping items

shadowlordDEA

Hi all!
I'm happy to find a game engine so complete, professional and affordable like Gideros. (I'm sorry for my english hehe)
I've a question:
- I'm designing a platform game.
- In this game, the user will equip swords
(via menu).
- after equipping. The sword appears in the character's hand to play the phase.
- Therefore, the graph of the character will change.
How should I proceed?
I must create a TextureAtlas, and it put several animations of the character with swordA, swordB and without sword?
or should I create a character animation, without sword. And put the sword over his character? (in realtime).

thanks for the reply.
I wish everyone a great day.

You could create multiple animations (with sword and without sword) using TNT Animator Studio

and then simply change animations
