Hi, I bought Third person controller these day.
I watched grenade tutorial of third person controller, but it does not work.

Actually the grenade is spawned, but it is located in right hand.

Have you set the Slot ID of the grenade item to 1 (matching the slot of your character's left hand ItemSlot component)? Have you defined the Item Sets in the Item Set Manager to include the grenade in slot 1/left hand?
 
I found those component and they are blank.
assumption: There is only grenade in my hand.

It does not create component automatically like assault rifle.
How can I setup these component?
May you present any tutorial if you have, please.
or just read official reference.
 
The grenade video is accurate for the current version. If you aren't getting the same results I would go through that video again. As soon as you are getting a different result I would stop the video and backtrack until you have a similar setup. This will allow you to fix what was going wrong at that time.

The right hand grenade should be in slot 0.
 
I still have not been able to solve this problem.
I did it many times faithfully before I was told, and I did it after, too.
I also thoroughly reviewed some tutorials on the prerequisites.
It's working in the demo, so I know it's not a bug in the script; I don't get any errors too.
The grenade is in character's right hand. So I know that the slot must be set to 0.

I made the following category settings for grenades that are not mentioned in the tutorial video.

However, the grenade will still be cloned into the right hand child.(so the grenade will not fly out of character's hand.)
I was wondering if there are any important settings that aren't in the tutorial video by update.

At what point in the video do your results differ? The recent updates do not change the workflow so it has to be something else.

The Third Person Grenade Item Properties is what determines where the grenade is thrown. Does ThrowableItem.ThrowItem get called?
 
The running grenade clone between 4:02~4:07 in the grenade tutorial does not move from the right hand child to the top of the hierarchy. (I just noticed that it switches places)
In the tutorial state, I used the debug log to confirm that the ThrowableItem.ThrowItem is not being called.
It is called when the use event of the grenade item is turned off.
 
Ok, ThrowItem is responsible for doing that movement. ThrowableItem.ThrowItem is called from the Use Event on the Grenade Item component. In the demo scene/video it is using an animation event. Does the throwing animation play? Can you log animation events on the Animator Monitor and see if OnAnimatorUseItem gets called?
 
Thank looks good. Is Wait For Slot Event enabled for your Use event?

When you enable it it should work. I'm not sure why it wasn't enabled by default. I'll take a closer look at that.
 
Unfortunately, the grenade doesn't fly out of character's hand when I turn it on. The log doesn't change either.

Can you set a breakpoint within Use.OnItemUseFirstSlot to see why the method returns early? This will be executed when OnAnimatorItemUseFirstSlot is called. UseItem(0) should be called which will allow Use.LateUpdate to continue and call m_UsableItems.UseItem()
 
This is the first time to do breakpoint. It'll take a while. (I didn't know this feature existed in unity.)
 
Interesting. As a test if you force that first if condition to return true and register the OnAnimatorItemUseFirstSlot event does the OnItemUseFirstSlot get called?
 
Awesome, so it's being thrown now? I will dig into some more why it wouldn't be registered correctly.
