Solved How to create a virtual furnace?

I am wondering what the best way is to create a virtual furnace and update it. I want to use NMS, however I am not familiar with it at all. Please help me. Thank you. - Jack (TheWolfBadger)

Anyone? Please! Thanks. - Jack

This is how you would open a furnace view:

Code:java

    public void openFurnaceView(Player player)
    {
        Inventory furnace = getServer().createInventory(null,
                InventoryType.FURNACE);
        player.openInventory(furnace);
    }

What do you mean by update? Or what do you want to do with the inventory?

 

MCForger I want the furnace to be function able. What I mean is it opens a ender furnace basically. The furnace runs while the player does not have it open also. When a player clicks a furnace it opens their ender furnace. What I'm trying to figure out is how to do this stuff. Thanks for replying btw. - Jack

I am working on it do not worry.

 

MCForger Appreciate it! Thank you!

Unless you handle all the cooking logic yourself you will have to make a custom tile entity through NMS.
You can see the code for how virtual pack does it here.

 

TheWolfBadger
The issue is you actually need a real furnace block to make an inventory were you could fake this....you cold do something where you execute the command and in a certain amount of time your stuff would be done smelting. So like you do /example put your stuff in the inventory and close it. You grab the items out of that furnace inventory and then say how long would that fuel burn for and how much would they have of what their smelting by then. Then when the player does the command again put back the items and whats been smelted or not so far.

Hehe.

Tzeentchful Where can I find what the methods do and such for the nms part of it though? Thanks! - Jack

 

You can find the NMS code here.

 

Tzeentchful MCForger So I've never used NMS. What I want to do is create a class called "EntityFurnace". I want it to extend TileEntityFurnace. I need it to have the same functions and so that it's a working virtual furnace and works while it is not open. How can I do this? Thanks. - Jack

 

TheWolfBadger afaik you would have to do the ticking yourself (just use a scheduler). Sadly enough the World ticking checks for chunks, so it wouldn't be that great to rely on imo.

 

fireblast709 Ik that. How would I make the EntityFurnace class tho? Do I have to have all the same variables as the TileEntityFurnace class.

 

So your doing this for a plugin request when you're not at all familiar on how to even start? xD
My suggestion would be to check for the Action Right Click in a PlayerInteractEvent and create a new inventory with the ownership of the player and serialize it to a file for each player. You can load it every time they right click.
Just a suggestion, I think there are more efficient ways to carry this out. xP

 

LordVakar The furnaces don't work properly or actually function. I need to make one that functions. I may just go ahead making furnaces at like 0,160,0 in the map and setting different furnaces for each furnace, however I don't think it would work the best

MCForger Tzeentchful fireblast709 LordVakar This is what I have so far. I'm confused what it actually does and how it functions and/or how to use it. Please help me! Thank you! - Jack (TheWolfBadger)

I thought of a better way to do this and it's to mimic AntVenom's Hungry Games Portable Furnace
You could open a furnace inventory menu (That works) when you place down a furnace and cancel the BlockPlaceEvent.
And you would create the furnace menu on join and make it owned by the player who joined.

 

LordVakar Hmm, so you would open the inventory by placing a furnace block at like 0,0,0, then it would delete right after it was placed and I would save that FurnaceInventory to an HashMap with the player who opened it? Would that work?

 

TheWolfBadger
I guess that would work xD
I see this is solved so I think you got it to work somehow but what I was saying is you listen for a player placing a block anywhere and you cancel the event so the block wasn't actually placed, meanwhile you open the inventory :O

EDIT: You created a new thread

 

BorisTheTerrible. Would creating the furnace at 0, 0, 0 and then deleting the furnace, but opening it's furnaceInventory view. Would this work? Only problem I don't understand how I would fix is how to set it burning when it's not open. Any ideas? Thanks. - Jack

 

TheWolfBadger
You could try it, I don't think it will work though since the tileEntityFurnace is probably destroyed when the furnace is destroyed.

I tried just creating a tileEntityFurnace then opening it on an entityPlayer. It caused a NullPointerException though.
I will probably look into this more tonight.
