Hi, I was trying to save the inventory of player to make the possibility to have inventory pages. I managed to save the raw items without problems but, when it comes to save all the components it doesn't works.

Let me explain... When I want to save an ItemObject into a simple variable, no problem, it works, and I can resume the item from this variable. But when I want to save the ItemObject into a json file, it throws an error... So I tried to rebuild the entire item by myself, but I don't know how to get all the attached component from a weapon for example or even the effect added to an item like melee power or other effects. I managed to save the item name, guid, amount and slot so far but stuck with the other components I need.

Here is my actual code...

	IDictionary<string, PlayerSaveClass> PlayerSavesList = new Dictionary<string, PlayerSaveClass>();
		[ChatCommand("test")]
		private void TestCommand(PlayerSession sender, string cmd, string[] args)
		{
			var name = sender.Identity.Name;
			var location = GetPlayerPosition(sender);
			var inventory = sender.WorldPlayerEntity.GetComponent<Inventory>();
			var inventoryCapacity = inventory.Capacity;
			List <ItemClass> rInv = new List<ItemClass>();
			for (int i = 0; i < inventory.Capacity; i++)
			{
				var invItem = inventory.GetSlot(i);
				if (invItem?.Generator == null) continue;
				if (invItem != null && i != 14)
				{
					ItemClass itemToAdd = new ItemClass
					{
						itemID = RuntimeHurtDB.Instance.GetGuid(invItem.Generator).ToString(),
						itemName = invItem.GetNameKey(),
						amount = invItem.StackSize,
						slot = i
					};
					rInv.Add(itemToAdd);
				}
			}
			var bag = new ItemClass
			{
				itemID = RuntimeHurtDB.Instance.GetGuid(inventory.GetSlot(14).Generator).ToString(),
				itemName = inventory.GetSlot(14).GetNameKey(),
				amount = 1,
				slot = 14
			};
			PlayerSaveClass playerSaving = new PlayerSaveClass
			{
				Name = name,
				Location = location,
				Inventory = rInv,
				Bag = bag,
				InventoryCapacity = inventoryCapacity
			};
			PlayerSavesList[name] = playerSaving;
			dataFile.WriteObject("Test", PlayerSavesList);
			ClearInventory(sender, inventory);
		}

		IDictionary<string, PlayerSaveClass> loadPlayers = new Dictionary<string, PlayerSaveClass>();
		[ChatCommand("restoretry")]
		private void RestoreTry(PlayerSession sender, string cmd, string[] args)
		{
			loadPlayers = dataFile.ReadObject<Dictionary<string, PlayerSaveClass>>("Test");
			var instanceInventory = sender.WorldPlayerEntity.Storage;
			var itemManager = Singleton<GlobalItemManager>.Instance;
			var playerLoad = loadPlayers[sender.Identity.Name];
			List<ItemClass> playerInv = playerLoad.Inventory;
			ItemClass bag = playerLoad.Bag;
			var bagGuid = RuntimeHurtDB.Instance.GetObjectByGuid<ItemGeneratorAsset>(bag.itemID);
			var bagObject = itemManager.CreateItem(bagGuid, 1);
			instanceInventory.SetSlot(14, bagObject);
			foreach (ItemClass itemInstance in playerInv)
			{
				var itemGuid = RuntimeHurtDB.Instance.GetObjectByGuid<ItemGeneratorAsset>(itemInstance.itemID);
				var itemToRestore = itemManager.CreateItem(itemGuid, itemInstance.amount);
				instanceInventory.SetSlot(itemInstance.slot, itemToRestore);
				instanceInventory.Invalidate(false);
			}
		}

		public class PlayerSaveClass
		{
			public string Name { get; set; }
			public Vector3 Location { get; set; }
			public List<ItemClass> Inventory { get; set; }
			public ItemClass Bag { get; set; }
			public int InventoryCapacity { get; set; }
		}

		public class ItemClass
		{
			public string itemID { get; set; }
			public string itemName { get; set; }
			public int amount { get; set; }
			public int slot { get; set; }
		}

bool _willDrop = true;
if (!invItem.GetComponent().DropsOnDeath && invItem.GetComponent().IsProtected != 0)
{
	_willDrop = false;
} //To know if it's a protectable item and if it's already protected (if is.Protected == 3 then it's protected, if it's 0 it's not)


if (!itemToRestore.GetComponent().DropsOnDeath)
{
	if (!itemInstance.willDrop)
	{
		itemToRestore.GetComponent().IsProtected = 3;
	}
}  //Before setting the inv slot, just make the Is.Protected property of the item to 3 to make it already protected

public static IEntityEffect GetEffect(this IItemComponentObject item, EntityFluidEffectKey key)
{
	if (item.IsBlueprint())
	{
		ItemComponentItemStorage component = item.GetComponent(false); // I don't know :/
		return component.NestedItems[0].GetEffect(key);
	}
	ItemComponentAttackEffects component2 = item.GetComponent(false); //Weapon effects
	if (component2 != null)
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < component2.Effects.Count; i++)
		{
			IEntityEffect entityEffect = component2.Effects[i];
			if (entityEffect.GetEffectKey() == key)
			{
				return entityEffect;
			}
		}
	}
	ItemComponentGearProvider component3 = item.GetComponent(false); //Vehicule gear effects
	if (component3 != null)
	{
		for (int j = 0; j < component3.Effects.Count; j++)
		{
			IEntityEffect entityEffect2 = component3.Effects[j];
			if (entityEffect2.GetEffectKey() == key)
			{
				return entityEffect2;
			}
		}
	}
	ItemComponentEquipPassiveEffects component4 = item.GetComponent(false); // Equipment effects (melee power etc...)
	if (component4 != null)
	{
		for (int k = 0; k < component4.Effects.Count; k++)
		{
			IEntityEffect entityEffect3 = component4.Effects[k];
			if (entityEffect3.GetEffectKey() == key)
			{
				return entityEffect3;
			}
		}
	}
	return null;
}​

There are like 25 different item components that would all have to be written out so they can saved into json and also recreated back to their original state and attached to an item.
It's possible but it will be a lot of work to do that for every item.
I'm not sure about the gun attachments yet...

I think that's the biggest problem, I know how to check if it's a weapon with the possibility to attach something on it, but then I don't know how to get the attached accessories nor to reattach the accessories to an item

Btw to add an effect to a weapon you have to get the effects and just add it like a normal list

itemToRestore.GetComponent()?.Effects.Add(IEntityEffectItem effect);
