Random items in chests?

Would anyone know how to put a chest on the ground and have it restock itself randomly with random items? Im pretty new to java and bukkit plugins so be sure to be asked quite a few questions

 

ok i will try to explain it but i dont wanna spoonfeed you code.
so create an arraylist that holds every type of material in the game so it would be an ArrayList<Material>.
and add all the materials to it.
to place a chest Location loc = new Location(somex,somey,somez);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.Chest);
Chest c = loc.getBlock().getState();
then get its inventory with c.getInventory();
then add items by creating a new java.util.random.
and calling chstinventory.addItem(new ItemStack(materialarray.get(randomvariable.nextInt(materialarray.size)), randomvariable.nextInt(64) + 1));
as many times as you want in a for loop.
eg: for(int i = 0; i<randomvariable.nextInt(24); i++ ){
//place items here
}
.
then call c.upDate();
and you have just added random amounts of random items to a chest!
EDIT: oh damn i spoonfed you code xD

You forgot to cast to chest.

 

How would I get the location of a player then put it where it says "SomeX, SomeY, SomeZ"

 

Will you be using this in an event? If so use Location loc = event.getPlayer().getLocation(); And then you can get the x, y, and z from loc.

 

Code:

Location loc = player.getLocation().add(player.getLocation().getDirection().normalize());

This is the location in front of the player

 

This whole thing is very confusing :/ This is what i have in my main class so far.

EDIT: And Im getting quite a few errors...

because you are putting the code in the class body -_-

 

fireblast709 So you saying i should make a separate class for it?

 

tbone4747 no. You probably want the BlockPlaceEvent, and store some of it there right?

 

Im new to coding, its your call. I put it in a separate class and got LESS errors...

    chestInventory.addItem(new ItemStack(materials.get(randomvariabl.nextInt(materials.size())),
            randomvariable.nextInt(64) = 1));
    fur(int i = o; i<randomvariable.nextInt(24); i++){
       
    }
}
}

 

What are some of the errors you are getting?

 

Eclipse is giving me errors here,

PHP:

loc.getBlock().setType(Material.CEHST)

Here,

PHP:

randomvariable.nextInt(64) = 1));

And here,

PHP:

for(int i = o; i<randomvariable.nextInt(24); i++){
     
    }

 

let me fix that code up for you.
package com.github.AirrPanda;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Chest;
import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;

public class RandomChest {
public void createChest(Location loc){
List<Material> materials = Arrays.asList(Material.AIR, Material.APPLE, Material.ARROW, Material.BAKED_POTATO, Material.BOW, Material.BOWL, Material.BREAD, Material.BROWN_MUSHROOM, Material.CARROT, Material.CHAINMAIL_BOOTS, Material.CHAINMAIL_CHESTPLATE, Material.CHAINMAIL_HELMET, Material.CHAINMAIL_LEGGINGS, Material.COMPASS, Material.COOKED_BEEF, Material.COOKED_CHICKEN, Material.COOKED_FISH, Material.COOKIE, Material.DIAMOND, Material.EMPTY_MAP, Material.ENCHANTED_BOOK, Material.ENDER_PEARL, Material.EXP_BOTTLE, Material.FISHING_ROD, Material.GLASS_BOTTLE, Material.IRON_SWORD, Material.LEATHER_BOOTS, Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE, Material.LEATHER_HELMET, Material.STONE_SWORD, Material.RAW_BEEF, Material.RAW_CHICKEN, Material.RAW_FISH, Material.RED_MUSHROOM, Material.ROTTEN_FLESH);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.CEHST);


Chest c = (Chest) loc.getBlock().getState();
Inventory chestInventory;
chestInventory = c.getInventory();

Random randomvariabl = new Random();


for(int i = o; i<randomvariable.nextInt(24); i++){
chestInventory.addItem(new ItemStack(materials.get(randomvariabl.nextInt(materials.size())),
randomvariable.nextInt(64) + 1));
}
}
}
}

 

tbone4747 the fact that you have less errors does not mean it is better

 

Now all i need is to figure out whats going on here...

PHP:

int o = 0;
Random randomvariable = null;

Sorry If im bugging you guys, im new to this stuff :/

 

pls pls just go and learn java for gods sake

 

tommycake50 Ok :/

 

I don't know, how do you set a material called cehst?
