Custom Chest Help

[fowlplay4]

You need to store 'this.inside' in a DB-NPC and use chestid to make 'this.inside' unique.

I.e: this.("chest_" @ this.chestid)

The Chest GUI should be created in the weapon npc.

1. Player Touches Chest

2. Call 'Chest Weapon' with Chest ID to load chest.
I.e: findweapon("-GUI/Chest").loadChest(this.chestid);

3. Trigger Server: Get contents of Chest ID (optional: Check Chest Owner)
I.e: triggerserver("gui", this.name, "loadChest", this.chestid);

4. Trigger Client: Contents of Chest ID
I.e: player.triggerclient(this.name, "chestContents", this.contents);

5. Store Contents on Clientside and Draw Chest GUI
I.e: this.contents = params[1];

I'd store the data in a DB-NPC called DB_Chests and use public functions to access and modify the data. I.e:

PHP Code:

public function getChest(chestid) {
  // Return contents of chest
  return this.("chest_" @ chestid);
}

public function addToChest(chestid, weaponName) {
  // Add Weapon to Chest
  this.("chest_" @ chestid).add(weaponName);
}

public function removeFromChest(chestid, weaponName) {
  // Remove Weapon From Chest
  this.("chest_" @ chestid).remove(weaponName);
}

public function hasInChest(chestid, weaponName) {
  // Check if Weapon is in Chest
  return weaponName in this.("chest_" @ chestid);
} 


Then you can use:

DB_Chests.getChest(chestid);
DB_Chests.addToChest(chestid, weaponName);
DB_Chests.removeFromChest(chestid, weaponName);
DB_Chests.hasInChest(chestid, weaponName);

To access and modify the contents of chests.

Also keep in mind that variables you set on the server-side are inaccessible on the client-side, I would recommend using attrs to get around that. I.e:

In your chest class:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.attr[2] = this.chestid;
  this.attr[3] = this.chestowner; // (optional)
}

//#CLIENTSIDE

function loadChest() {
  temp.chestid = this.attr[2];
  temp.chestowner = this.attr[3];
  // do stuff with it.
}

// your other code...
