Right/Left Click

[8iggy]

Hello! I want to figure out how to send a right click entity packet and to click a item in an container packet. For the right click I want to right click an NPC/EnitityPlayer and for the click a item in an inventory I want to be able to click an item in a certain slot of a container. Hope someone can help me out!

Oh my bad it's just in spigot/paper api you use EntityPlayer for NPCs. I just mean how can I right click a entity.

[Luis_ST]

I'm not sure if I understood your question, what do mean by "how can I right click an Entity". To answer your question aim at the Entity and click the right mouse button...!

Another attempt to answer your question there is EntityInteractEvent.RightClick

Can you show me an example on how to call the event? I'm not trying to figure out when the player right clicks. but how to right click using code.

why do you need to know how to right click your Entity via code?

So I can open a container.

[8iggy]

Ok I found out some info but I'm not sure if it will work. 

controller.interactWithEntity(player, entity, Hand.MAIN_HAND);

Note: controller is PlayerController

I'm not sure if this will work on a server or if I'm doing it right.

[Luis_ST]

there is a method you can overwrite not sure how the method is called look into the Villager class, it's also an example how to open a Container

Stop trying to automate the game from the client side. Write a server side mod and do it properly.

How do you do that? And could you still answer my question? will it work on a server?

[Luis_ST]

the code you are using is execute on client and the server will be notified, but you should do this on server and notify the client

Ok. I don't fully understand what writing a server side mod means. Is there a way you could explain it better? And even if I understood I still don't know how to make a server side mod.

What we mean by making a server side mod is making a mod thast uses server logic to manipulate the containers directly instead of making a mod that automates things client side, which would be classified as a cheat mod and would make us very sad

Well I'm not making a hacked client... but I can't prove it to you guys either. I'll try and do stuff more on my own from now on as it seems you don't want to help me since I'm making a "Cheat Mod".

Nobody said that, it suggests it but if you write a normal mod we will help you.

It would also be helpful if you could show a little more of your code so that we can better understand what you are doing, so we could help you
normally you open a container via NetworkHooks#openGui which you should execute on server, the client will be automatically notified to open the associated screen

Ok. So how would I make a INamedContainerProvider? I've never used it so I don't know how to make one.

[Luis_ST]

you could use SimpleNamedContainerProvider it's a default implementation
which Container do you want to open?

Edit: as the second parameter you could use a lambda expression with the parameters int, PlayerInventory and PlayerEntity and return the Container you want to open

I'm not sure what container I want to open. Is there a way to get a container with windowId?

the way i told you, is only for custom Containers, for vanilla Containers you should use ServerPlayerEntity#openMenu

it is given in the lambda, you should use it, when open a vanilla Container you don't need the id

Ok let me start over. I don't have a container. No variable, No Title, No Nothing. Now I want get a container. What is the best way to do so?

[Luis_ST]

counter-question a custom or vanilla Container
