Looking for the itemplace (of lantern, woodencrate etc. type) code

Currently decompiling rust to look at how items are placed (like lanterns, etc.) As i need this concept as a part of a plug-in i wish to create.

Was wondering if anyone has already discovered this? it'd mean a lot if someone was able to save me this time and let me know where to find it.

 

This is kind of a hacky way to do it, I'm sure there are better ways, but here is how I normally spawn deployables.

Code:

Item item = ItemManager.CreateByName("wall.external.high.stone", 1);
var deployable = item.info.GetComponent<ItemModDeployable>().entityPrefab.resourcePath;
var entity = GameManager.server.CreateEntity(deployable, position, rotation, true);
entity.Spawn();

 

Thank you so much! I was just going through the files and really wasn't having a good time (I know i have all the files that contain the whole procedure but having to find the relevant code i need is time consuming going through loads of .cs files)

From having read it it seems like it'd be good, i'll have a look.

Thank you buddy!

 

Unless you have a reason to keep the item, you don't need to create a new one. You can make that code a bit better by changing it from creating an item to simply finding the ItemDefinition:

Code:

            var def = ItemManager.FindItemDefinition("wall.external.high.stone");
            var deployable = def.GetComponent<ItemModDeployable>().entityPrefab.resourcePath;
            var entity = GameManager.server.CreateEntity(deployable, position, rotation, true);
            entity.Spawn();

 

I'm planning on trying to deploy the item in the same way that items do in the game (With the blue gizmo) for the item i want to make placeable, i just needed a contingency solution incase i am unable.

The items i want to spawn are permanent, but thank you for trying to help me out!
