Switching held items quickly makes the hands snap or wait for senseless animations

A player taps through three items in half a second. Every raise-and-lower animation then plays from the start, so the hands jump, or the game queues them up and ignores what was pressed last. Here is how to let the hands change their mind in the middle of a motion.

Why this works

When the hand's height is one continuous value that moves at steady speed, any interruption just turns it around from where it is. There is no jump because there is nothing to restart, and no queue because only the last wish matters.

When not to use it

Wrong when each item has its own long, hand-made equip scene, such as a heavy launcher being slung off the shoulder, and when switching should cost the player something on purpose. Then play the whole clip and block the action while it runs.
