Show players visual chest open/close effect?

Hey guys, how can I show all players that a chest is opening/closing? I tried it with Packet132TileEntityData, but I didn't manage to open the chest... Does anyone know a solution?

 

player.openInventory()?

 

fireblast709 I don't want the players to open an inventory! I mean the VISUAL chest open/close animation...

Does no one know a solution? Or is it not possible?

hello DarkBladee12,
i think (please correct me if i'm wrong) the Effect should be client side like the arm swing / clouds etc.

 

Here's an idea: Create a fake player entity and use it to open the chest. This way, no real player must open the chest and it will still open. Let me know if you can't figure out how to do and I'll give you some code!

 

You can do it through player.playNote(Location, byte, byte). The first byte is always 1 with a chest. The second byte is 1 if you want it to open and 0 if you want it to close. This does not play the chest opening sound, mind you.

 

He wants the chest to open visually, not just play the sound.

 

That is what i said, it does the animation, not the sound. The note packet controls the chest animation for some reason.

 

Oh, strange. Why call it on player, though? Does Block not have a playNote method? chest.playNote(chest.getLocation(), 1, (open == 1) ? (byte) 0 : (byte) 1);

 

Its because the name is kinda misleading ;D

Code:java

Packet54PlayNoteBlock packet = new Packet54PlayNoteBlock(x, y, z, 1, 1, 54);

This seems to not work on enderchests (IK old post) but it works on normal chests... For enderchests it will just play once, then immediately close.

 

dillyg10 That's strange, but it's fine cause I only needed this for normal chests
