The item is now ready to use, but to be able to change items during the game, let's add the component **Item Switch Manager**:&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Choose the most convenient [item switch options](/ju-tps-documentation/game-development/how-to-use-inventory-and-add-items/old-versions-how-to-switch-between-items.md) for your game.
{% endhint %}

✅ **Now you have a item working**
