I’ve got a Sway script that transfers assets, the script works fine when using most assets, but fails if I try to use the base asset. I assume this issue has something to do with the UTXO attached for gas payment.

My code is using a copy of the code from the example AMM repo:

```rust

pub async fn get_transaction_inputs_outputs(
  wallet: &WalletUnlocked,
  assets: &Vec<AssetId>,
  amounts: &Vec<u64>,
) -> (Vec<Input>, Vec<Output>) {
    let provider = wallet.get_provider().unwrap();
    let mut input_coins: Vec<Input> = vec![]; // capacity depends on wallet resources
    let mut output_variables: Vec<Output> = Vec::with_capacity(assets.len());

    for (asset_index, asset) in assets.iter().enumerate() {
        input_coins.extend(
            transaction_input_coin(
                provider,
                wallet.address(),
                *asset,
                *amounts.get(asset_index).unwrap(),
            )
            .await,
        );
        output_variables.push(transaction_output_variable());
    }

    (input_coins, output_variables)
}

async fn transaction_input_coin(
    provider: &Provider,
    from: &Bech32Address,
    asset_id: AssetId,
    amount: u64,
) -> Vec<Input> {
    let coins = &provider
        .get_spendable_resources(from, asset_id, amount)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    let input_coins: Vec<Input> = coins
        .iter()
        .map(|coin| {
            let (coin_utxo_id, coin_amount) = match coin {
                Resource::Coin(coin) => (coin.utxo_id, coin.amount),
                _ => panic!("Resource type does not match"),
            };
            Input::CoinSigned {
                utxo_id: coin_utxo_id,
                owner: Address::from(from),
                amount: coin_amount,
                asset_id,
                tx_pointer: TxPointer::default(),
                witness_index: 0,
                maturity: 0,
            }
        })
        .collect();

    input_coins
}

fn transaction_output_variable() -> Output {
    Output::Variable {
        amount: 0,
        to: Address::zeroed(),
        asset_id: AssetId::default(),
    }
}

```

I’ve updated my script to use `Output::Change` instead of `Output::Variable`, but now I’m getting this error:

```auto
ValidationError(TransactionOutputChangeAssetIdNotFound(0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000))

```

Which is strange, because ETH _is_ being included as an input.

```auto
