Preventing certain items from being put in containers

[stuck raft]

Hello!
As the title says im trying to prevent certain items from being put in a container but unfortunately all of the methods i tried just let me put an item in the container and not take it out instead. If anyone knows a way to block an item from being put there in the first place please let me know

[remote fern]

im honestly not sure if its possible

[lucid needle]

Probably on inventory click and checking the inventory type. You'd also have to account for items that could be shift clicked into containers too

[remote fern]

is there a way to check whats in the container?

[lucid needle]

Yeah, you'd loop through the slots then see if it contains an item type

[remote fern]

then do that and if there is anything that isnt allowed drop it on the ground no?

[lucid needle]

Yeah, then you'd set the slot to air (assuming a player put a disallowed item in a container before you coded that sorta thing)

[remote fern]

yea

i think that would be the best way

[stuck raft]

Alright ill try that tomorrow but i hoped there would be an easier way😭 😭 🙏

This seems like a very useful feature

Thanks guys

Ill let you know if it works

Look for click types or click actions whatever its called to check for shift click pr hotkey in

Also you might have to cancel the drop event for these items as i think hoppers were a headache

But idk you can give it a try

[stuck raft]

its not a problem on my server

its prisoners vs guards so all players have adventure mode and cant place anny hoppers

and theres none on the map

``on inventory click:
if event-inventory is not player's inventory:

    if click type is shift+lmb:
        set {_item} to clicked slot
        if {_item} is enchanted with curse of vanishing:
            set clicked slot to air
            send "&c&lDont put COV items in containers!" to player         
    else:
        set {_item} to cursor slot of player  
        if {_item} is enchanted with curse of vanishing:
            set cursor item of player to air # <--- this doesnt work
            send "&c&lDont put COV items in containers!" to player ``

this is what i currently have

it works pretty well outside of set cursor item of player to air not working and on shift+lmb it doesnt delete the item when its placed in the container but when the player tries to take it out of it

if you know any alternatives to set cursor item of player to air please let me know

[cedar obsidian]

Pretty sure ive only seen cursor slot not cursor item, but if thats also on the docs should work too

[karmic mulch]

this is how i handle this issue, most likely better ways, but this works for me

[stuck raft]

Ill try this later

[karmic mulch]

you'll need to add a shift-click check, i forgot to do that in the example i sent

[karmic mulch]

here is the updated fix, also note this requires you to have a boolean nbt tag set on the item to deny it from being able to be moved

[stuck raft]

here is my updated approach

i gave up on checking when the item is put in a container and just decided to check when the players are taking it out

if event-inventory is not player's inventory: if group of player is not "appl" or "owner" or "coowner" or "community-manager" or "head-builder" or "sr.mod" or "dev" or "mod" or "builder": if click type is number key or shift+lmb: set {_item} to clicked slot if {_item} is enchanted with curse of vanishing: set clicked slot to air sendMessage(player, "<#FF8282>You can't put items with curse of vanishing in containers.") play sound "entity.villager.no" with pitch 0.6 to player else: set {_item} to clicked slot if {_item} is enchanted with curse of vanishing: set clicked slot to air sendMessage(player, "<#FF8282>You can't put items with curse of vanishing in containers.") play sound "entity.villager.no" with pitch 0.6 to player

ill try your version and if it works ill be glad to use it if you dont mind

[karmic mulch]

mine works for me, it stops putting in but allows taking out (in case the item somehow glitches inside of an inventory)

and yes you're free to use it

[stuck raft]

I might just be missing something but why are you setting both {_canDrop} and {_canTransfer} variables to the boolean tag "canDrop" instead of having a seperate one for {_canTransfer} ?

[karmic mulch]

because some items i want to be able to be transferable in inventories, but not droppable

multiple items have these tags so that's an all around workaround that affects all items how i want

[stuck raft]

I see now

I will probably modify your code because i only need them to not be transferable
