Solved Spawn box at player's location

Hi,

Does anyone know what would be the right way to spawn a box at a player's location?
Also is there any script which could be used to fill the box with specific items?

Thanks in advance!

 

not sure any dev will create a plugin for that as it's a very personnal plugin.
but yeah it would be possible.

 

@Reneb that's why they pay you to make it for them

 

I know but i dont do personnal plugins

 

Well then..there are others on the forum who do myself included lol.

 

Hi I'm not asking for a dev to create a plugin for that, I'm asking for hints and documentation to do that myself.
I'm trying to get steered in the right direction as I'm having a hard time to find a good documentation on API calls.
I used to develop addons for World of Warcraft in Lua, but the documentation provided was probably more accessible than the one i managed to find for rust

 

Well spawing à box you can look in: view inventory, Someone posted how to create à box.
You can also look in : build on how to spawn stuff
And give on how to create items.

 

Something like this:

Code:

local function CreateEntity( prefab, pos, rot)
    local CreateEntityMethod = global.GameManager._type:GetMethod("CreateEntity")
    return CreateEntityMethod:Invoke( global.GameManager.server, util.TableToArray({ prefab, pos, rot }) )
endlocal function SpawnBox(player)
    local box = CreateEntity("items/woodbox_deployed", player.transform.position, player.transform.rotation)
    box:InitializeHealth(100, 100)
    -- Thanks to Reneb (build plugin) --
    box:SendMessage("SetDeployedBy", player, UnityEngine.SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver )
    ------------------------------------
    box:Spawn(true)
    return box
end-- From CopyPaste with some additions
local function FillContainer( pref, itemlist )
    for i,item in pairs(itemlist) do
        local giveitem = global.ItemManager.CreateByItemID(item.ID,item.amount)
        if(giveitem) then
            if item.Key then
                giveitem.instanceData = new(ProtoBuf.InstanceData._type, nil)
                giveitem.instanceData.dataInt = item.Key
            end
            giveitem:MoveToContainer( pref )
            if(item.container) then
                FillContainer( giveitem.contents, item.container )
            end
        end
    end
end-- Main
local function Main()
    local box = SpawnBox(player)
    FillContainer(box:GetComponent("StorageContainer").inventory, itemlist)
end

 

Thank you Bombardir, that's really helpful
I have a question on the use of "items/woodbox_deployed"
I see this is part of the items list at: http://pastebin.com/bzwew18R
But that doesn't define whether it is a small box or a large box.
Would something like the following more viable?

"14286": {
"displayname": "Large Wood Box",
"shortname": "box_wooden_large",
"category": "Items",
"description": "Keep your things in this wooden storage box. Store up to 24 things",
"itemid": "14286",
"worldprefab": "items/generic_world",
"icon_main": "4235",
"stackable": "1",
"canBeHeld": "True"

Would this work?
local box = CreateEntity("items/box_wooden_large", player.transform.position, player.transform.rotation)

 

"worldprefab": "items/generic_world",
[DOUBLEPOST=1422982884][/DOUBLEPOST]oh wait, in my plugin it's "items/large_woodbox_deployed" (buy it may be wrong)

 

Thx to @DieWildeBetty : http://pastebin.com/g7Nie9dP


its: "items/large_woodbox_deployed"
