DayZ EXP 1.28 - Weapon cleaning kit animation not playing in some situations
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Upon using a Gun cleaning kit on both a firearm (M16) and a magazine (10rnd Mag C) it only played the "Weapon cleaning" animation if I placed the item on the floor, and had the cleaning kit in my hands

To be absolutely clear, it still allows you to complete the repair, but it will not play the animation for weapon cleaning, the character simply moves their hands around on the floor as per the "Default" crafting / repairing animation.

Note: I have been unable to check if the animation plays if I hold the gun cleaning kit and drag a mag / gun to the "Combine" section of the hand.

Some furtherance to this:

I believe this is the case for some of the other repairing animations

I have seen other instances where I have tried to repair something, and the animation will not play unless I’m holding the kit in my hands

Of course for some animations this makes sense (it makes sense that the “Sewing” animation plays while holding the kit, or the “Taping” animation plays while holding duct tape)

Yet I am sure in the current stable patch the animation, certainly for cleaning a firearm would play regardless
