Random items to a player

Hey, how can I give a player a random item

 

$item = mt_rand($idmin, $idmax);
$player->getInventory()->addItem(Item::get($item), $damage, $count);

 

Not really understanding this..
Maybe you can define $idmin and $idmax?

 

Also, is it possiable to give the player a random item but with a custom name set?

 

PHP:

 /**
 * @var Item $item1
 * @var Item $item2
 * @var Player $player
 */
 $itemList = array($item1, $item2, /*etc...*/);
 $player->getInventory()->addItem($itemList[array_rand($itemList)]->setCustomName("Random Item"));


That's not entirely correct, you made a mistake with your parentheses. It should be more like this:

PHP:

$item = mt_rand($idmin, $idmax); //$idmin and $idmax would be integer Item IDs.
//This would be convenient for a random armor item, like from ID 298 to 313.

$player->getInventory()->addItem(Item::get($item, $damage, $count)); //You would need to define $damage and $count.


 

Ok kinda get it now. But I want my item to be a book with different names , it's for a enchant spin plugin

 

PHP:

$itemid = Item::get(ITEM::BOOK, 0, 1);
$itemId->setCustomName("Custom name here......");

 

If you want to randomize the name of only a book, try something like this:

PHP:

 /** @var Player $player */
 $nameArray = array("Name 1", "Name 2", "More names");
 $item = Item::get(Item::BOOK, 0, 1);
 $item->setCustomName($nameArray[array_rand($nameArray)]); 

It's also highly suggested that you try to use NBT tags to store data for an item instead of Custom Names. I don't know much about those, but you can take a look at this post for more info.

I wonder how you breathe

 

Woops, I'll correct that. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Looks like all you need is code, no explanation. You've hit a jackpot! No need of learning what mt_rand does because it's super confusing and hard to Google up. Same for while loops, it's almost like there's no way to know what they do unless you are a hardcore professional programmer.

PHP:

$itemId = mt_rand(1, 400);
$item = Item::get($itemId);
while($item->getName() === "Unknown"){
    $item = Item::get(mt_rand(1, 400));
}
$player->getInventory()->addItem($item);


 

i only want the custom name to be randomized.

 

PHP:

$names = [
    'hey',
    'these',
    'are',
    'some',
    'custom',
    'names.'
];
$random = $names[mt_rand(0, count($names) - 1)];
$item = Item::get(Item::DIAMOND);
$item->setCustomName($random);


 

Thx you so much! <3
