Solved Opening Inventory

OK, so does Opening Inventory work or not?

I have this in my code:

PHP:

$player->getInventory()->open($player)


Where $player is an instance of pocketmine\Player. So, if this is in a command and I execute this from a command, then it should open the player's inventory. But it doesn't.

The complete plugin is here

But does it work if the Inventory is a ContainerInventory instead of a PlayerInventory?

I have also tried it with opening Chest inventory. I will write another gist later.

It is sensible, though, that it doesn't work with player inventories.

OK, so this gist adds a openchest command that will try to open the inventory of the closest chest. So ChestInventory is a sub-class of ContainerInventory. Still doesn't work.

Oh I found the code. It should be $Player->addWindow($Inventory). I doubt if it works with PlayerInventory, but let's test everything

hello but this plugin in practice opens a particular inventory or default?

Ahh.. success. I updated the gists. It is also here.

Like you said, the PlayerInventory did not open. On the other hand, the ChestInventory did work. So the gist creates a command called openchest that will open the closest chest.

Thanks @PEMapModder for knowing everything...

But, does it open "In player's" inventory? Or as a separated window?

Opens the chests as if you had tapped it.

Cool! So you can access a chest far away!

Or a CustomInventory (a chest that doesn't Minecraft-geologically exist)

I tried opening non-existent chests, but that didn't seem to work.

Code?

The main issue is what to use for the InventoryHolder. I could only get it to work if I provide a tile\Chest there.

This is my code:

I'm following this method to get virtual chests... trying to trick the tiles system to use fake Chest tiles

Here's my work so far... This creates a "fake Chest Tile" at coords [0, 0, 0] and use that tile for the custom ChestInventory... You need to run the "/virtual" command to reach it

The current code is kinda buggy... To get it work you will need someone to got at "chest's" coords and break the block in place, after that you will see a "ghost" chest and you're ready to go :3

so i can´t openWindow without chest or something?

why this doesn´t work?

PHP:

class ShopManager{
  
    public $plugin;
    public $players = [];
  
    private $fakeChest = null;
    private $virtualChest = null;
  
    private $items;
  
    public function __construct(Arena $plugin) {
        $this->plugin = $plugin;
        $this->items = [Item::get(24, 2, 1), Item::get(1, 0, 1)];
        $this->virtualChest();
    }
  
    public function fakeChestTile(){
        if($this->fakeChest === null){
            $this->fakeChest = new Chest($this->plugin->plugin->getServer()->getDefaultLevel()->getChunk(0 >> 4, 0>> 4), new Compound("VirtualChest", [
                new Enum("Items", []),
                new String("id", Tile::CHEST),
                new Int("x", 0),
                new Int("y", 0),
                new Int("z", 0)
            ]));
        }
        return $this->fakeChest;
    }
      
    public function virtualChest(){
        if($this->virtualChest === null){
            $this->virtualChest = new ChestInventory($this->fakeChestTile());
        }
        return $this->virtualChest;
    }
  
    public function openShop(Player $p){
        $this->players[strtolower($p->getName())]['shopping'] = true;
        $p->addWindow($this->virtualChest());
    }
}
