Access to LootTableManager from LootTableLoadEvent

[jcranky]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to access a `LootTableManager` when a `LootTableLoadEvent` is fired? I wanted to replace a `LootTable`, but wanted to use `lootTableManager.getLootTableFromLocation(...)` instead of having to manually build the whole `lootTable` object.

 

thanks!

It doesn't look you have access to the LootTableManager from LootTableLoadEvent. Since the event gives you the option of replacing the LootTable with another one, it probably should give you access to the LootTableManager.

 

You could suggest this be changed, but in the mean time you can remove the LootTable's existing LootPools and then add a new one with a LootEntryTable in it that references the replacement LootTable.

Thanks, I'll investigate a bit more around the first option. The second one would still mean that I have to manually create the loot table, right? Which is what I'm trying to avoid, since I want to use a loot table defined in a json file.

No, LootEntryTable takes the ResourceLocation of a LootTable and loads it from the LootTableManager when loot is generated from the containing LootTable.

 

I use LootEntryTable to add one LootTable to another here.

Ah, I missed that fact. So basically this is an entry that is itself a whole table, and in this case the trick is to make sure it is the only entry in the loot table being replaced? Feels a bit like a hack, but solves the problem - I'll start in that direction for now

 

Thanks for the code sample, it helped a lot!
