Any way to get a list of game items?

[garymevs]

Couldn't see a way to do this :/ any ideas?

Can you specify what exactly you're trying to do to clear up the question? If you simply need a static list of the possible in-game items, view items.txt and newitems.txt in the  ProjectZomboid/media/scripts folder.

I was hoping for a method/function that would return a table/array of items that are currently loaded in the game

[RoboMat]

I don't think there is a function for that. What do you need it for?

[garymevs]

I wanted to do something similar to zSpawn as a first step into modding but I didn't want to manually list every single item :/ I would parse the item files but I also wanted to keep support for other mods, any ideas on what I could do?

[cmkb3]

Well, the list of items available for the game to use appears to be contained in <THashMap> ItemMap which is generated within an instance of ScriptModule.

 

Edit: I know that may not seem terribly useful, but looking through the java files is starting to make me dizzy. >_< It's somewhere to start. Actually, I'm not sure if a particular module contains all the entries from a particular text file or if each entry is its own module where the parameters are the entries in the hashmap and oh no I've gone crosseyed. . . 

[garymevs]

That should do it, thanks!

I can't think of a way to access that class or the contents of it with just lua :/ If anybody can think of anything that would be great

[RoboMat]

I have a function in my modding utilities, which converts arrays to lua tables:

 

----- Converts a java arrayList to a lua table. Remember-- that lua tables start at index 1. Thanks to lemmy101.---- @param _arrayList - The arrayList to convert---- @author RoboMat-- @since 1.5.0--function Utility.convertArrayList(_arrayList)	local list = _arrayList;	local itemTable = {};	for i = 0, list:size() - 1 do		table.insert(itemTable, list:get(i));	end	return itemTable;end

Maybe that helps.

[garymevs]

While that is helpful, my issue is with accessing the array not converting it to a table :/ Is there some kind of bindClass function for the lua interpreter PZ uses? or am I going about this the wrong way?

[RoboMat]

Oh ... totally misunderstood your problem haha

Afaik you can only access public methods via lua. You could ask for a Getter in the lua requests thread though

 

Okay just talked to RJ ... there is no item list - the HashMap is something different. 

 

So parsing the .txt files is the only way I can think of atm.

[garymevs]

Ok Thanks for the help. 

 

Do you want me to mark this as solved?

[RoboMat]

If you feel it has been answered sufficiently, then yes it would be nice if you marked it as solved
