Solved [Help] SoulBound Items?

Hello everyone!
I am trying to create some SoulBound items but have run into some problems (._.)
If there anyway to detect when an item switches inventories and then cancel it (under the defined circumstances)?

I want the player to be able to freely move the item around in their inventory, but I don't want it to be removed from it (Like placed in a Chest, or moved into a crafting table).

NOTE: I have tried an InventoryClickEvent but it doesn't seem to work out to well :L .

Thanks for reading!
All help is much appreciated!

 

InventoryClickEvent is one of the trickiest events to deal with because there are so many different situations, but unfortunately that's the only one that is applicable for what you want :|

Check if the inventory viewer is instanceof Player, if not, cancel the event? Best I can think of at 01:18am

 

XvBaseballkidvX it's the InventoryMoveItemEvent. You can get the "getDestination()" and check if it is not the players inventory

 

WhatAaCow Thank you! Im going to try that out! If it works I'll mark this as solved!

Don't go around spewing incorrect information... InventoryMoveItemEvent isn't even for players, and cannot be fired by HumanEntities (i.e. Players). It's for hoppers and stuff. You'll have to use InventoryClickEvent and InventoryDragEvent, those are the only two inventory-related events that can capture player clicks.

 

Ronbo calm down. thought it works. In JD: "Called when some entity or block (e.g. hopper) tries to move items directly from one inventory to another."

XvBaseballkidvX try this:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onInventoryInteract(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        if (event.getInventory() != event.getWhoClicked().getInventory()) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

Ronbo WhatAaCow Thank you both I was trying to use the InventoryMoveEvent and it didn't work and I was wondering why, but you just explained it. Let me check out the InventoryClickEvent once more and I will post my results soon!

EDIT: Fixed Type

 

InventoryDragEvent seems completely unreliable in my experience, it doesn't always fire (and when it does, bukkit does some screwy stuff) I think inventoryclickevent is what you want, you just need to check the destination inventory type. I have used this to prevent players putting certain items in the crafting slots, so I think you should be able to get it to do what you want.

 

Thank you everyone for your help! Marking this as Solved
