Solved Inventory Items not appearing

When I give players items using p.getInventory().addItem(etc);, the item DOES go in the inventory, but the player doesn't see it. The way to get them to see it is to tell them to click the slot number, and then it appears. But until then it appears empty.

Whats causing this, and how can I give items differently so this doesnt happen?


Thanks!

 

player.updateInventory();

 

Do it that way BUT:
player.updateInventory();
Or:
player.getInventory().setContents(player.getInventory().getContents());

 

But keep in mind this is a deprecated function due to a bigger bug. If the bug gets resolved this function will disappear

 

That isn't a problem if you update your plugin every stable build.

 

Yes true, but some people build their Plugins once and forget about it (no offense)

 

It's deprecated because : "This method should not be relied upon as it is a temporary work-around for a larger, more complicated issue."

It is still currently a viable work around for the problems like that. You also won't have to update it every single time because it's in the bukkit API. As a third thing, they won't get rid of it because it will break so many plugins, they'll probably just leave it and tell people to use the new method or to just not use it.

 

Well about deprecation and removing of items there will be a funny time when 1.7 comes around. If the mojang guys keep trying to get rid of TypeIDs and BlockIDs. There will be much plugins breaking...

 

Okay well I'll try both. Gosh can't believe its that simple XD - thanks everyone for your help, I 'liked' all yalls helpful posts
