Solved Spawning items in chest or on ground? (C#)

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I am I in the process of making a couple of plugins to help us run PvP events on our server. One of the things I am trying to do is spawn in some items at set locations.

As far as I can think I have two choices, either spawn the items in a chest or just directly onto the floor?
However I haven’t been able to find any information about how to target a specific chest or spawn items at a location.

I am hoping someone could point me to either some documentation or a plugin as reference (or provide a small example)

 

Perfect! Just what I was looking for

I started looking at raycast and spherecast but I shall save that for if I really need to target a chest, for now dropping items on the floor is more than enough and seems so simple!

I have created the following method for dropping items at a vector location (item shortnames can be found at http://docs.oxidemod.org/rust/#item-list), never know, it might help someone!

Method:

Code:

        public bool dropItem(Vector3 vector, string shortName, int amount)
        {
            bool bluePrint = false;
            shortName = shortName.ToLower();            var definition = ItemManager.FindItemDefinition(shortName);
            if (definition != null)
            {
                Vector3 velocity = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);                Item item = ItemManager.CreateByItemID((int)definition.itemid, amount, bluePrint); // Item stack
                item.Drop(vector, velocity);                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }

Example:

Code:

    dropItem(vector, "pistol_revolver", 1);
    dropItem(vector, "ammo_pistol", 64);
    dropItem(vector, "syringe_medical", 2);
    dropItem(vector, "wolfmeat_cooked", 25);

Will release the full plugin once done ^_^

Many thanks again for the help!

 

Why would persisting containers be any harder than positions? If anything containers are easier you just need to save the entityid... I do that in one of my mods (unreleased) and there was no particular difficulty doing it.

 

Actually I might have assumed things here. I logged on my test server last night and lost associations I did in that mod I was talking about. I haven't looked into it yet, but I have a feeling the entityId's might not persist through server restarts. If that's the case, then it isn't as simple as I thought. I'll do more tests when I get a chance to see what happened.. Worse case I suppose the X/Y/Z pos of the container will persist through restarts so I guess I could use that instead of the entityId and just match containers with my saved positions. Should work until they decide we can move containers
