Hey! I'm working on a RPG and i have 2 ways of making the equipment system. So here's the two ways and a break down of ups and downs:

1. Each body part that you can equip armor to is really a separate object. And when i equip something i'm simply deleting that object and adding the armor.
-More objects in my code (more confusion)
-Saves some memory and faster loading

2. Whenever i equip something i just add that object on top of the object that it would replace (ie. a helm would just overlap the head)
-Less objects in my code
-Around double the polys being loaded (current model is at 752 polys)
-Easier

So should i really go through the time of making each body part a separate object or should i just load the equipment on top of the previous equipment?

I say go with option 1, more confusing, yeah. Keep a notepad beside you and write things down. Also, make sure you keep notes in your code so you can refresh your memory on what each function, object, etc...do.

Ok, thanks! But now i just came across a brilliant idea! Instead of having specific armor pieces why not just get full armor sets. This way i simply delete the character and add the new one. And this would avoid my main issue with doing the skinning in the animations
