Open a chest GUI, without a chest. Like OpenInv. [UNSOLVED]

I've seen in plugins like OpenInv that it is possible to show a chest menu without a chest. How is this done without spout?

Here's a picture of what I mean:


Anyone?

Look up how Spout does it then.

 

Would the spoutcraft client be needed?

 

nope.

 

Alright, so i'll have to use Spout and the Spout API.

I don't really feel like going through the huge source code for spout, lol.

 

You don't need Spoutcraft (Clientmod) or Spout (ServerPlugin).

The Trader of Citizens implements a example

 

It can be done without Spout, but you'll have too dig into some source code because nobody seems to know it by heart

 

I already looked at that source code, it's not really the best example because it has no comments, ect. So it's pretty hard to figure out whats really going on.

 

Init code:

Code:

EntityPlayer ePlayer;
CraftPlayer cPlayer;
cPlayer = (CraftPlayer) player;
ePlayer = cPlayer.getHandle();

Opening small chest:

Code:

TileEntityChest chest = new  TileEntityChest ();
ePlayer.a(chest);

Opening big chest:

Code:

TileEntityChest ch1 = new  TileEntityChest ();
TileEntityChest ch2 = new  TileEntityChest ();
InventoryLargeChest lc = new InventoryLargeChest(name, ch1, ch2);
ePlayer.a(lc);

 

Correct ^^

Thank you so much! You're a hero, seriously!

 

This thread is marked as [UNSOLVED]... perhaps it should be updated?

 

Sorry to reopen a thread, but what is 'name' in this case?

 

ePlayer.a(chest);
a is underlined red and gives me the error:

The method a(TileEntity) from the type EntityPlayer is not visible

 

Off topic: but does anyone know the texturepack/mod of the OP?

 

Do you mean how to check what texture pack the OP is using?

 

no, i just wanna know what texture pack hes using

i wanna add it to my collection

 

compiled jars don't have comments.

New versions is on how to open virtual chest:

you need small chest like:

TileEntityChest chest = new TileEntityChest ();

or double one:

TileEntityChest ch1 = new TileEntityChest ();
TileEntityChest ch2 = new TileEntityChest ();
InventoryLargeChest lc = new InventoryLargeChest(name, ch1, ch2);

To open chest you need CraftInventory like this:

for small one: CraftInventory inventory = new CraftInventory(chest);
or for double: CraftInventory inventory = new CraftInventory(lc);

thet you just open inventory with player.openInventory(inventory);

 

Or you could simply use one of the Bukkit.createInventory(...) methods to create an new inventory and then open it with player.openInventory(inventory)...

BTW: This thread is several months old and the OP is outdated.

 

nice

 

nice, but thanks to both of you for your help. Btw, I was looking at the different InventoryType.s but I could only find a normal sized chest. How do I make a large chest with the second method? I don't think I could use

because that data type is a InventoryLargeChest instead of a Inventory, unless there is a way to convert it?

 

create an small sized chest inventory of the size 27*2 ?

 

^a large chest, so yes, 27*2 would be the right size (6*9)

 

Check skybank

 

Wow this thread exploded with new replies... Several people have posted newer (working) examples on this thread, and it should be closed and set to resolved.

Also, the texture pack is Sphax PureBDCraft

 

You can get a players inventory like this as a chest

PHP:

Player tplayer = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
PlayerInventory inv = tplayer.getInventory();
player.openInventory(inv);
 
// Done that's all you need to get someone elses inventory

 

I use this code in my plugin:

Code:

public void openGUI(Player p, int slots, String name, ItemStack[] is)
    {
        Inventory inv;
        inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, slots, name);
        for (int i = 0; i <= slots; i++)
        {
            inv.setItem(i, is[i]);
        }
        p.openInventory(inv);
    }
