Solved How to store a players inventory before log off

So how would I store a players inventory before he logs off?

 

public static HashMap<String, ItemStack[]> inventories = new HashMap<String, ItemStack[]>();

public void onLogout(PlayerLeaveEvent e) {
inventories.put(e.getPlayer().getName(), e.getPlayer().getInventory().getContents());
}

 

It's PlayerQuitEvent.

 

Psssht yay for typing code w/o ide

 

If I try to do something to the intentory, it says 'The method dropItem(Location, ItemStack) in the type World is not applicable for the arguments (Location, ArrayList<ItemStack>)'. Yes I changed it to an arraylist..

 

BUMP

 

Well you need to not change it to ArrayList..
Instead you can iterate through the arrayList and on each ItemStack in there you can call the dropItem(location, itemstack)

As for "Storing" the inventory, a HashMap wont store it through a reset. You can check around for ways to Serialize inventorys and save/load them from configs.

I only need to store it for a small amount of time and I only need to store the inventory, I dont need the player name part...

... I don't get the HashMap part everything is much simplier with ArrayLists and HashSets

Have you even tried any code yourself? If you have then it makes it easier to help you.

 

kevinspl2000 a HashMap allows you to recall the inventory with the player's name. If you use a List or HashSet it will be harder to retrieve later. You can put it in by:

Code:java

HashMap <Player, Inventory> inventories = new HashMap<Player, Inventory>();
//p is the predefined player
Inventory i = p.getInventory();
inventories.put(p, i);

and to retrieve it's

Code:

//p is still a predefined player
if(inventories.containsKey(p)){
Inventory i = inventories.get(p);
}

Yay for putting Player objects in a Collection

 

p.getName();

Okay thanks but I want to drop the inventory to somewhere
So I did
player.getWorld().dropItem(loc, inventories);
and I am getting errors because the inventories is supposed to be an item stack...

Daily BUMP...

Iterate over the itemstack.

 

Replace inventories to inventories.getContents() to drop the whole inv

Thanks

 

Keep in mind that your hashmap wont persist through reloads/restarts, if I'm correct.

 

No, they do not.
