Retrieving Items

Anyone has a good way to retrieve items into a inventory from a configuration file? Like, after the ID? For example:

- 322:1
- 32
- 522:3

etc... this would place these items into the player's inventory (or some other custom inventory).

 

1. What have you tried so far?
2. You need to parse it yourself with string.split(...) and string.substring(..)

 

I haven't tried anything, just a curious question if somebody has a good method and would like to share.

 

How I would go about doing this:

Format: 'item:amount'

String item = split at the ":" and get the number on the left hand side
int amount = ^ on the right hand side

*insert some checks here*

players inventory . addItem(new ItemStack(Material.valueOf("item".toUpperCase()), amount));

I remember reading somewhere that ID's will eventually be replaced completely by names, (Pretty sure it was a tweet from dinnerbone, don't quote though) that's why I'm using material names instead.

It's going to be a bit more complicated because you have colons
You need to first check if a stringlist contains a :

The code below will work but it doesn't support colons

Code:

for (String s: getConfig().getStringList("path")) {
    p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Integer.parseInt(s.split(" ")[0])));

}

This code supports colons it might work never tested it.

Code:

 if ( s.contains(":") )
            {
                for (String s: getConfig().getStringList("path")) {
                    p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Integer.parseInt(s.split(" ")[0]), 1, (byte) Integer.parseInt(s.split(":")[1]) ));

                }
            }

 

I'll try that @Eos
