Hey all

I'm a Software Engineer but pretty new to rust / oxide development...so don't be too harsh ;D.

Problem
After melee interacting i want to give the player the item he interacted with. From the HitInfo i can get the prefab name, but thats not the item name i have to use to ItemManager.CreateByName.

Examples
(left is name from HitInfo, right is needed string to CreateByName)
researchtable.deployed -> research.table
repairbench_deployed -> box.repair.bench
refinery_small_deployed -> small.oil.refinery

Is there a way to get around manually mapping all the items? Can i get the parent name of the deployed instance or something like that?

Thanks already in advance

The RemoverTool plugin has code for taking something from a HitInfo and turning it into an item.  Check the OnHammerHit and GiveRefund parts.  It correlates names and itemids in a dictionary.

You sir are a genious. Thanks a lot man...that was exactly what i was looking for! Works like a treat.

If anyone else is looking for that:

//the needed dictionary
private readonly Dictionary<string, string> shortPrefabNameToDeployableName = new Dictionary<string, string>();


//within OnServerInitialized
if (!itemShortNameToItemId.ContainsKey(itemDefinition.shortname))
{
    itemShortNameToItemId.Add(itemDefinition.shortname, itemDefinition.itemid);
}

var deployablePrefab = itemDefinition.GetComponent<ItemModDeployable>()?.entityPrefab?.resourcePath;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(deployablePrefab))
{
    continue;
}

var shortPrefabName = GameManager.server.FindPrefab(deployablePrefab)?.GetComponent<BaseEntity>()?.ShortPrefabName;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(shortPrefabName) && !shortPrefabNameToDeployableName.ContainsKey(shortPrefabName))
{
    shortPrefabNameToDeployableName.Add(shortPrefabName, itemDefinition.shortname);
} 


//and then to lookup and give the deployable
string itemName;
if (shortPrefabNameToDeployableName.TryGetValue(info.HitEntity.ShortPrefabName, out itemName))
{
    player.ChatMessage("Trying to craft " + itemName);
    var item = ItemManager.CreateByName(itemName, 1, targetSkinId);
    player.ChatMessage("Giving item " + item.name);
    player.GiveItem(item);
    info.HitEntity.Kill();
} 
else 
{
    player.ChatMessage("Could not craft entity");
}
