Inventory Minigames [need help creating]

Hi, so a while back I was playing on a Noxcrew's server called MCStrike and I notice they have mini games on a pda that when you right click it open the inventory and you play games on it (MineSweeper for instance). Recently I came across a SethBling Video in which he showcased a plugin(BlingJeweled) he made which allows the player to play Bejeweled when the player right clicks on an emerald.

I'm wondering what makes it possible to do that and how its done. Thank you guys for your time.

You can decompile it and learn from it's source

 

There's a few things you need to code in order to achieve this:

• Register the OnPlayerInteractEvent, and get the item the player has in his hand.
• Register the InventoryClickEvent, and get the slot / item the player clicked on
• Create an inventory
• Set the items in the inventory, possibly using a randomiser

When the player right clicks the item you specified, he / she will be presented with the inventory. You will then need the other event (InventoryClickEvent), to specify what you want to do when a player clicks on an item in the inventory (e.g. add a potion effect to it & cancel the event).

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if(event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) && player.getItemInHand().equals(Material.EMERALD)){
            // Check for permissions if you want to
            // Send the player a message if you want to
            // Open the Inventory
        }
    }

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onPlayerInteract(InventoryClickEvent event){
        if(event.getInventory().getTitle().equals("Your Inventory Name")){
            Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
           
            // Get the item, and do with it what you want
        }
    }

 

I'll try that and see what happens

how do I decompile it?

You download the plugin, open it up with any program that can be used to open up a .jar file, locate the .class files, and look in those with a program as JD-GUI.

 

Unfooishly
1. download win-rar or 7zip
2. Open the plugin's jar file with either.
3. download JD-GUI

 

TryB4 and TheMcScavenger ok the jd-gui works so i found i need to learn how to code... Do you guys any good person i can learn that from in youtube?

Garris0n I meant how to use hash code sorry didnt notice I forgot a few words. I already know code a bit considering one bukkit plugin and still making another and at the same time making a Minecraft mod.

How to use hash code? Like... the hashCode() method?

 

I myself have watched the 80 videos of TheBZBroz, and I must say it really helped me out in the beginning. All the basics are covered, meaning that once you've watched all of those, you can start making plugins right away.

 

heres the video that helped me code my gta plugin (maybe going to be on bukkit dev). youtube video you can basically use his code for any type of inventory. just one thing i would like to add: it is possible to still shift click and close the inventory to get an item even though it is extremely hard to do. you can use this even listener to make it so whenever he clciks with this item in his hand it goes away. heres the extra event listener:

Code:java

public static ItemStack exampleitem; //you can later define the properties of this item
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractEvent(PlayerInteractEvent pie) throws IOException {
ItemStack iih = (ItemStack) pie.getPlayer().getItemInHand();
if(iih.equals(exampleitem)) {
pie.getPlayer().setItemInHand(null);
pie.setCancelled(true);
}
}

hope this helps!
