Storing Chest contetnt(and saving)

Thanks

Found this out from LWC source.
New question, how do I store the contents of a chest, and load them into a chest screen

You could just save all of the itemstacks and them insert them one by one into the chest upon loading.

 

aha, But I need to store the contents in a hashmap where the key is the player's name,
and as far as i know, Arrays of Itemstacks aren't seriazble

 

Well if you use Sync that is possible. You can serialize itemstacks and many other Bukkit objects.

 

Advertising your work again? JKS
I will give it a go, how should I use it though, like sput? Adamki11s

My bad, saw a wiki

Sorry, I am not good with interfacing stuff, how do I make this work Adamki11s

Tster Yes I know I am advertising it but in my defence I need to otherwise it won't get known . Plus I spent a lot of hard work on it and it is actually extremely helpful

What you want to do is create an Array of ItemStacks and then this can be saved and loaded like so

Code:java

 
public void saveItems(ItemStack[] stacks){
SyncItemStack[] saveStacks = new SyncItemStacks[stacks.length];
for(int i = 0; i < stacks.length; i++){
    saveStacks[i] = new SyncItemStack(stacks[i]);
}
File f;//create a file to save to
SyncObjectIO stream = new SyncObjectIO(f);
stream.add("Items", saveStacks);
stream.write();
}
 
public ItemStack[] loadItems(){
SyncObjectIO stream = new SyncObjectIO(f);
stream.read();
Object o = stream.getObject("Items");
SyncItemStack[] readStacks = (ItemStack[]) o;
ItemStack[] stack = new ItemStacks[readStacks.length];
for(int i = 0; i < readStacks.length; i++){
    stack[i] = readStacks[i].getBukkitItemStack();
}
return stack;
}
