/chest (Virtual Chest Command)

Hello!

My name is Jordan and I'm coding a virtual chest command for my server.

It works fine other than the fact that obviously the HashMap resets after reload/stop of the server.

Would I have to save the Virtual Chests in a config.yml or is there an easier/better/another way?

Post if you need code ^_^

 

Yes, you need to save it in a yml file. I'ts really easy because you can directly save items to it and get them with .getItemStack("path");

 

That's what I meant. Alright thank you for your help!

@FisheyLP I'm trying to figure out how i could itterate through a list of strings in the config and change them to items?
and how would I get the amount?

ETC..

for(code i need) {
chestcommand.get(p).addItem(item);
}

Config:

BaconStripsMan:

chest:
- apple

@BaconStripzMan
config.getStringList()

new ItemStack(Material, Amount)

list.size()

 

Not needed.

It's always best to assume we need that.

Now, there are two ways we can save the chest; We can save it by using the whole inventory instance or just the contents. If you want to save the whole inventory, it's simpler but it takes up slightly more space. You would use the following:
SAVING

Code:

getConfig().set("Path.To.Where.You.Want.To.Save.It",The Inventory instance);
saveConfig();

LOADING

Code:

Inventory inv = (Inventory)getConfig().get("That.Same.Path");

If you want to use the contents,
SAVING

Code:

getConfig().set("Path.To.Where.You.Want.To.Save.It",The Inventory Contents instance);
saveConfig();

LOADING

Code:

ItemStack[] itemstack = getConfig().get("That.Same.Path");
Inventory inv;
for(int i = 0; i < 36; i++){
if(itemstack[i] != null){
inv.setItem(i,itemstack[i]);
}
}
