Items Setup

Items Setup

To use the crafting system, you need to register the required items in your inventory system. This includes the crafting bench placement items, upgrade items, and any materials/recipes you've configured.

Default Items

The resource includes example item definitions in setup_inv_items.lua for reference. You'll need to add these items to your inventory system.

ox_inventory Items

Add these items to your ox_inventory/data/items.lua file:

Crafting Bench

['crafting_bench'] = {
    label = 'Crafting Bench',
    consume = 0,
    weight = 100,
    stack = false,
    close = false,
    client = {
        export = "sleepless_crafting.placeCraftStation",
    }
},

The client.export property automatically calls the placement function when the item is used. This is required for placing crafting stations.

Upgrade Items

['bench_upgrade_2'] = {
    label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 2',
    weight = 50,
    stack = false,
    close = false,
},
 
['bench_upgrade_3'] = {
    label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 3',
    weight = 75,
    stack = false,
    close = false,
},
 
['bench_upgrade_4'] = {
    label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 4',
    weight = 100,
    stack = false,
    close = false,
},

Custom Station Types

If you create additional station types in stationTypes.lua, you'll need to create corresponding items for each one.

For example, if you add a cooking station type:

["cooking"] = {
    placeItem = 'cooking_station',
    -- ... rest of config
}

You'll need to add the cooking_station item:

['cooking_station'] = {
    label = 'Cooking Station',
    consume = 0,
    weight = 150,
    stack = false,
    close = false,
    client = {
        export = "sleepless_crafting.placeCraftStation",
    }
},

Recipe Materials

Don't forget to also register all the materials and output items used in your recipes. For example, if your recipe requires scrapcloth and vodka to craft a bandage:

['scrapcloth'] = {
    label = 'Scrap Cloth',
    weight = 10,
},
 
['vodka'] = {
    label = 'Vodka',
    weight = 50,
},
 
['bandage'] = {
    label = 'Bandage',
    weight = 20,
},

Item Images

You'll need to add images for your items to your inventory's image folder:

  • ox_inventory: ox_inventory/web/images/
  • qb-inventory: qb-inventory/html/images/

For best results, use PNG images with a transparent background. The recommended size is 100x100 pixels.
