let's say, that i want to give an item with as much nbt data as this: {display: {Name: '{"extra":[{"bold":true,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"obfuscated":false,"color":"dark_gray","text":"Słaby Klucz"}],"text":""}'}, PublicBukkitValues: {"excellentcrates:crate_key.id": "bad"}}, how put all that into the - give command?!

Your question seems to be an XY Problem - you're asking about your attempted solution rather than your original problem.
Read in detail about the XY Problem here: http://xyproblem.info/

For an example of an XY Problem we've seen in Denizen, the question "how do I make an event for when a flag expires" has no answer, but the same question asked with full background detail will be something more like "I have this script: [LINK HERE], which sets a 3 minute cooldown flag on a player for when they use an ability. I want the player to be notified when the cooldown completes - how do I do this?" which we can then answer quite effectively (in this example, all that was needed was a simple wait command, no events or flag-listening or anything).

Generally, use item scripts with mechanisms to apply anything you need

!l item scripts

Did you mean to search for item script containers?

# wind talon !l item scripts
Language: Item Script Containers

Item script containers are an easy way to pre-define custom items for use within scripts. Item
scripts work with the ItemTag object, and can be fetched with the Object Fetcher by using the
ItemTag constructor ItemTag_script_name. Example: - drop <player.location> super_dooper_diamond

The following is the format for the container. Except for the 'material' key (and the dScript
required 'type' key), all other keys are optional.

<code>

The name of the item script is the same name that you can use to construct a new

ItemTag based on this item script. For example, an item script named 'sword_of_swiftness'

can be referred to as simply 'sword_of_swiftness'.

Item_Script_Name:

type\: item

i'm trying to give a player an item with a lot of nbt tags (written as you would put it in a /give command), but i'm not sure how to turn all of them into a format denizen can understand (using - give)

^ Please read this, that is still just your attempted solution to some underlaying problem

#

You generally don't directly use NBT in Denizen, and instead set specific stuff with the appropriate mechanisms

#

What are you trying to do that requires working directly with NBT?

i'm trying to give a crate key to the player, but might want to give other items with lots of custom nbt data that i created myself

wind talon
#

I'm assuming a crate key from another plugin? if so, don't need to mess with NBT at all - can just store it in a server flag and use that

ripe osprey
#

well, the key can be given with a command too, what about that?

wind talon
#

Hold a copy of the key and /ex flag server crate_key:<player.item_in_hand>, then <server.flag[crate_key]> whenever you need it in a script

#

Ideally just implement your own crate system with Denizen, then you can use item scripts directly (iirc there's even a script on the forums for that), but if you'd still like to use whatever other plugin you have, can just store it's keys like that ^ for use in scripts

Yes

Did you mean to search for long term memory: flags?

Have you read the guide yet ^? it explains most of that stuff

ripe osprey
#

i did read it through, but i didn't know that "forever" actually meant forever even after a server restart

#

okay, thanks! doing - give <server.flag[crate_key]> now gives the player a key
