This module does nothing by itself, but provides an API to handle various types of custom containers.

Requires DataManager!

Has to be required before any of the modules that use it.

It is necessary to set allowOnContainerForUnloadedCells = true in scripts/config.lua.

You can find the configuration file in server/data/custom/__config_ContainerFramework.json.

• storage
  • cell cell, where the actual containers will be placed. Only set this to an unaccessible cell. It will be always kept loaded. If you are using any cell resetting scripts, put this cell to exceptions.
  • location at which containers will be spawned in the cell.

Using it in your modules

The following is a list of all functions in this module (and their arguments) you are expected to use in your scripts. If you required it in standard way, they will be accessible from the global ContainerFramework table.

• createRecord
  • containerRefId refId of the container spawned in cell
  • containerPacketType should be spawn for NPCs and creatures or place otherwise
  • guiseRefId refId of the object visually spawned at desired location
  • guisePacketType same as containerPacketType
  • collision whether guise should have collision
  • returns recordId, which you can later use to spawn and manipulate containers. Expects any custom records to already exist.
• removeRecord
  • recordId
  • removes the record with given recordId. Does not remove custom records for given refIds.
• getRecordData
  • recordId
  • returns

    {
        container = {
            refId,
            type --packetType
        },
        guise = {
            refId,
            type --packetType
        },
        collision
    }

• createContainer creates a container in cell. Should be used for records with no guise set.
  • recordId
  • returns instanceId to be used with other functions later
• createContainerAtLocation same as createContainer, but also spawns the guise at specificied location
  • recordId
  • cellDescription
  • location
  • returns instanceId, same as createContainer
• removeContainer removes both the guise and container
  • instanceId
• getInstanceData
  • instanceId
  • returns

    {
        recordId,
        container = {
            uniqueIndex,
            cellDescription, --should be the same as `cell` in the config file, unless changed
        },
        guise = {
            uniqueIndex,
            cellDescription
        }
    }

• activateContainer activates container from given instance for pid
  • pid
  • instanceId
• getInventory returns the inventory of container
  • instanceid
• setInventory changes inventory of container to given inventory
  • instanceId
  • inventory
• addItem adds the given item (table with refId, count, charge, enchantmentCharge and soul) to instance's inventory
  • instanceId
  • item
• removeExactItem removes the given item from instance's inventory using inventoryHandler's removeExactitem
  • instanceId
  • item
• removeClosestitem removes the given item from instance's inventory using inventoryHandler's removeClosestitem
  • instanceId
  • item
• updateinventory sends necessary packets to pid
  • pid
  • instanceId

setInventory, addItem, removeExactItem and removeClosesItem also have Raw versions (e.g. setInventoryRaw) which do not add or remove custom record links. If you certain you don't need that, use them for better performance.

There is also an event you can catch:
ContainerFramework_OnContainer with arguments {pid, instanceId, index}, where index is the container index you pass to tes3mp.GetContainer... functions.
Has both a Validator and a Handler.
