As would I. I'm still looking into inventory manipulation, but I'm sure this nut will be cracked soon enough. And by dispenser, you mean the new Dispenser block in the recent update, correct? Not just a infinite chest?
This would be a great alternative to the hMod item kits. Just add some to your spawn location so you can provide some basic tools to new users. The only thing the dispenser has to do is replenish the item that is taken out, so you can make infinite random dispensers as well. If it is accessible to anyone this would just be abused as an item duplicator, so it has to have permissions and such to put items in. The only difficulty would be to distinguish between an infinite and a normal dispenser, but experienced modders probably know how to fix that. Maybe just by adding a piece of redstone to the middle slot (and then make sure the dispenser never drops the middle item).
I'd like to see this too. I spend days making a special spawn area that farms most types of items for players, but sometimes a small compact dispenser is so much nicer
Once inventory hooks are added (They are needed for chests and this sort of thing) I will look into it.
I will be porting my hMod plugin when the inventory hooks needed are implemented. http://forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=2213
I'm creating a plugin that pulls inventory for dispensers from chests next to it. --- merged: Mar 2, 2011 1:34 PM --- Nearly done!
