Hi
I am adding simple crafting mechanics to my game.
UI will look something like this
A list of crafting recipes will be displayed to the player and if the player has the required ingredients in his bag he can craft the item.
There is a CraftingService implemented with RMI. When the player selects to craft an item, the client-side service (CraftingClientService) will delegate the call to the server-side service (CraftingHostedService).
On the server-side service (CraftingHostedService), I need to first check if the player has the required items in his inventory and take them out then give him the crafted item.
An item has an InContainer(containerId) component that links it to the container it belongs to, in this case, it is the player bag.
It might sound like a stupid question but which of these approaches sounds right for this case. (checking if the player has the required items and take them)
1- Every time directly ask from EntityData (SqlEntityData):
EntityData ed;
EntityId playerBag;
Set<EntityId> items = ed.findEntities(Filters.fieldEquals(InContainer.class, "container", playerBag), InContainer.class, ObjectType.class, StackSize.class);
2- Ask from an InventorySystem that uses an EntitySet to watch for items with ObjectType and InContainer and StackSize component and keeps them in a Map:
// Keep track of items by container id
private final Map<EntityId, List<Entity>> itemsMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
