Hello I wanted to make a visual upgrade for a weaponin the forge , like the sword is very worn out and then after using the forge it becomes more polished and better ... so visually changing it ... how can this be done?

Just throwing ideas out there hoping something works:

Forging applies an enchantment right? Can enchantments have scripts? If so you could perhaps make a 'blank' enchantment with a script that removes the old sword from the player and gives them a new one?

Forging is not an enchantment, all it does is raise the Health% of the item in question, which has been hardcoded into the engine to be interpreted as increased damage or increased armor.
Here's what I would do, place a script on the item such that when it is added to the player's inventory, if it has a given health percentage, it removes itself and adds its replacement.
Should work I think.

You could create a recipe that creates the upgraded item and has the normal item as the only ingredient.

Essentially, the only way you can do visual changes is by having two items or by applying a magic effect that has a visual component.

Don't think so. What would it accomplish?
