(yukiyahana) How to get the slot of <context.item> in the inventory

[junior coral]

Using '- inventory adjust durability' requires the slot where the item is located, but players can place the item in either their left or right hand. The player's issue can be resolved in a relatively simple manner, but there's also the issue with items in a dispenser. When the event 'on dispenser dispenses item' is triggered, even if '- determine cancelled' is passively placed as the first command, it still reports that the dispenser has 9 empty slots (originally there should be a tool inside). Is there any way to get this?

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

Hi

not sure what you're asking

can you explain and post your script?

You want to get the slot that the dispenser is firing from?

I don't think a context exists for this event, even on the spigot api. Maybe the paper API but I could be wrong?

I suppose a quick solution would be...

!t inventorytag.find_item

[vestal vault]

Tag: <InventoryTag.find_item[<matcher>]>

Returns the location of the first slot that contains an item that matches the given item matcher.
Returns -1 if there's no match.
Uses the system behind !language Advanced Object Matching.

Returns

ElementTag(Number)

https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.16/io/papermc/paper/event/block/BlockPreDispenseEvent.html Actually there seems to be some Pre event for block dispensing and it allows you to fetch the slot it's going to use, not sure how relevant or helpful to anyone who knows java.

[junior coral]

Sorry for the late reply
Can <InventoryTag.find_item[<matcher>]> match a specific item?
I tried <context.bow> but it doesn't work
If a player holds multiple identical items, this will cause problems with my script

This is my script, along with specific explanations

[zinc elk]

context.bow isn't a valid context in the dispense event.

Also.

Try it and see!

If somebody pulled this up for you, you're probably asking a question of the public channel that's easier and faster to figure out by just attempting your idea in-game and looking at the result of that attempt.

<context.location> returns the LocationTag of the dispenser.
<context.item> returns the ItemTag of the item being dispensed.
<context.velocity> returns a LocationTag vector of the velocity the item will be shot at.

Determine

LocationTag to set the velocity the item will be shot at.
ItemTag to set the item being shot.

Has Known Location

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

Cancellable

True - this adds <context.cancelled> and determines cancelled + cancelled:false.

There is two scenarios
one is after player shoots crossbow
one is on dispenser dispenses Special_Iron_Pickaxe

Before asking, I had already tried for more than ten hours

<context.bow> is 'after player shoots crossbow' one

[languid agate]

Spigot doesn't seem to expose the slot, you could theoretically go over all of the dispenser's items and find one that's equal to the one being dispensed, but that isn't flawless either

[zinc elk]

Oh I see you're also having trouble seeing which slot the hand is in for the shoots event.

This seems to be a missing context.

[junior coral]

Yes, this issue has been troubling me for two days, driving me crazy

[zinc elk]

May want to consider a feature request of context.hand since the https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityShootBowEvent.html event has a thing for getting this.

But the denizen event has no context for it.

[zinc elk]

I also linked the PreDispense event, not sure how helpful that is since it can fetch the slot?

[languid agate]

Yeah that event looks like it could be useful for that, could feature request that if you'd like

[junior coral]

It seems that to solve this problem, I might have to do a feature request. How should I go about doing this?

[languid agate]

Create a thread explaining your request and /featurethread

[junior coral]

Thank you for your help! The Denizen community is one of the best communities I have ever seen

[languid agate]

No worries! feel free to open these feature threads if you'd like to requerst that, but for this thread -
