Adding Items To Armor Slots???

[perigrine3]

So I'm not exactly an avid modder or coder. I get the basics (at least I think so ), but I've been having a problem with this one project that I've been working on... 

Typically, for simplicity, I use MCreator so I don't have to spend hours and hours working on my projects. I could potentially learn how to code JavaScript for Minecraft, but I don't think I could figure it out. Anyways, my project is a mod for the show on Netflix, Trollhunters. I've created a lot of the items already, and soon, I plan to create the mobs (Trolls, Merlin, Gum Gums, etc). I found another Trollhunters mod, but it sucked because the person who made it just threw the amulet, sword, and armor into MCreator and called it quits. I'm NOT going to do that. I've been going into MCreator and tweaking the precompiled code to make each of the parts work exactly how I want them to. However, I'm stuck on this one thing with the Amulet of Daylight. 

So for those of you who don't know the show, when the character, Jim Lake, says the magic words, "For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!", the magic armor appears on his body, along with the Daylight sword in his hand.

My problem is with that. I want to set it up so that when the player presses 'M', the armor appears in their armor slots, along with the Daylight sword in the handheld slots, and the Amulet should disappear from their inventory too. So, I already have the 'M'-key-pressed-action-thing set up, I just need some help with the code to make the armor appear in the inventory.

I've been looking through the internet and I can't seem to find anything that works. Everybody is talking in huge code terms and I have no clue what any of those words mean until I actually look at the code and make some sort of sense of it. I just need some sort of method to add the armor to the correct armor slots. I don't know too much about coding JavaScript, so please try to keep it simple and describe what each part does so I can learn something from this. 

 

Thank you for your help (If you do in fact help)! 

 

(P.S: I will be sure to credit you in some way if you do help, be it easter eggs or straight up crediting. Also, you never know if this mod will get big, so just consider that before you leave this page... ) 

[perigrine3]

lol to the point: I have no clue. 

[perigrine3]

But aside from that, I just need to know how to add armor directly into the armor slots. 

[perigrine3]

Not even if I can find ways around that? I know what you're talking about, with the locked code; I've seen that, but I can get a Java Developing software and just open the compiled mod with that and then change it in there. And if push comes to shove, I'll just copy each class into a new mod file so that I can edit it, because I'm dedicated to figuring this out. So seriously; any tips as to how to add armor directly into the armor slots?

You mentioned that pre-made code. Does that mean I'd have to change something in that to make this work? Please just give me some answers here. I NEED HELP, INTERNET!

MCreator owns any code you made with it. You are not legally allowed to use it in any other project.

1. MCreator is terrible. Learn Java. Getting started is not exactly that hard, and the process is very rewarding.

2. Read my favorite StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/245062/whats-the-difference-between-javascript-and-java

[perigrine3]

Okay, I GET IT, but can someone just tell me HOW TO ADD AN ITEM INTO ARMOR SLOTS??? THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I feel like you're all just saying the same thing here! Probably because you ARE! 

I get it!!!! You all hate MCreator! Now tell me what I need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[perigrine3]

Also, if you guys help me, I can finish this project and begin learning to code Java. 

[perigrine3]

FURTHERMORE, I know the difference, I just make that mistake all the time. Usually I catch myself though. I know because I've been learning JavaScript, and I'm working on an interactive story. 

[Cadiboo]

You're saying the equivalent of “Build me an airplane then I’ll go and learn how to build one myself”.

Get the armor slot index and call

Minecraft.getInstance().player.inventory.armorInventory.set(armorIndex, itemStack);

Note: Minecraft.getInstance and everything else from that snippet is from 1.13 mappings. Names may not be the same in your version (Minecraft.getInstance is Minecraft.getMinecraft on <1.13)

You are basically asking "Make a mod, and I will put my name on it".

You cannot make a mod without knowing how to code in Java.

LEARN JAVA.

Yes. MCreator is hated by the majority of the modding community due to its crappy generated code and its limitations.

To be honest, you can't really make an original mod with MCreator. All mods made with MCreator are essentially the same mod with different textures and names, as the capability of MCreator is very limited.

There is no license attached so I am not certain whether I have permission to move it to a gist.

Found the license. I do have permission:

Also, I see what you're saying:

“Build me an airplane then I’ll go and learn how to build one myself”.

but that's actually how I work. I look at things other people have made, and I take it apart and put it back together. By doing so, I learn something about it. I do that with everything in life. What I was saying is that, if you build me this thing that I'm asking for, I can learn something from it. 

 

I understand the gist of coding. I have learned AppleScript, I am learning JavaScript, and I am learning Twine (even though that doesn't really count as a coding language because it's like MCreator for JavaScript, but it does require a level of coding so I'm including it). I'm not COMPLETELY stupid. 

I didn't think of it that way, DavidM, I suppose you are right.

However, I did make this awesome mod for a weapon that you can throw and teleport to with a keybind, at which point it is returned to your inventory. WITH MCREATOR. I made it have a spin cycle while it flies through the air, and I got it to work smoothly (for the most part  ) over the course of two years. I think it really just depends on who's using MCreator, and whether their creative or not. But I'm sure you're going to keep arguing with me, so I don't know why I bother. 

 

Anyways, I WILL go learn Java, I was just trying to make this mod as quickly as possible for my little brother and sister to play because we all love that show and Minecraft, so I told them I would make both of them a mod for it. I'm just a sucker for details, so I wanted this to work as I saw it in my head. 

 

Thank you for giving me an answer Cabidoo. I am going to play with that and see if I can get this b**** to work. 

 

Also, if you want to try a sample of that mod I was talking about, I'm going to attach it. 

Even though I doubt anybody will actually try it...

Wow. I must say, apart from everything else, that you do have a lot of free time, which I do envy ?.

[perigrine3]

Lol, not really. I suck at focusing on the things I probably SHOULD be doing instead. 

So, I've been at it for a while, but I honestly don't know how to get the armor slot index like Cadiboo said to. 

 

Rn, all I have is 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.inventory.armorInventory.set(armorIndex, itemStack); 

but idk which access modifiers to use, or what "get" thing to use to get the armor slot index. 

 

I think I have a basic idea of what that means; it's calling for it, but idk how to DO that... :3 

 

Help...?

- Where are you calling this? This gets the player on the client, and therefore will not work in multiplayer. Get the player from the appropriate event/parameter of the method/wherever you are using that line.

 

- Armor index [0, 3] is:

3: Helmet

2: Chestplate

1: Leggings

0: Boots

So if you want to set something to the leggings part, do

player.inventory.armorInventory.set(2, itemStack);

 

Edited February 19, 2019 by DavidM

[perigrine3]

Inside an OnKeyInput event. I don't need multiplayer. 

 

I know there needs to be some sort of function command before I put "player.inventory.armorInventory..." though, right? Like an access modifier and then something like that "OnKeyInput" thing. It's in the code as: 

 

    public void onKeyInput(InputEvent.KeyInputEvent event)

and then brackets after that, which is where I'm putting the 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.inventory.armorInventory.set(armorIndex, itemStack); 

[DavidM]

1. The armor slot index is an int. Pass an int corresponding to the armor slot you want to change.

2. Yes, put it in the event. You might want to check the key of the event though.

[perigrine3]

Why do I want to check the key of the event? I set it to 'M'. Like double check it you mean? 

 

HOLY S*** I THINK I JUST GOT IT!!! THE CODE RETURNED WITHOUT ERRORS!!! 

I just have to test in in Minecraft now to see if it actually does what I want, but I think I got it! 

 

It's been so long since I came up without errors. :C

Oops. I'm sorry.

[perigrine3]

Yeah it is, but it works now. I tested it and fixed it. It was funny lol, I tried using the Amulet and the boots appeared floating over my head, the chestplate on my leggings, and the leggings on my chestplate lmao.
