ItemPreview Client Side

[Wh1teQueen 1]

Hey guys,

I Made an Ui which loads all Item Names now I want a ItemPreviewWidget to display the selected item.

My problem is that I need to pass an EntityAI to the widget since it is Client side I don't know how I would give it a Item the Client don't have and can't just create.

I tried GetGame().CreateItem with local param which doesn't seem to work I also tried g_Game same result also I tried sending rpc to server create Item send to back with param EntityAI what does not seem to be possible since the server crashes without any log

I mean it would maybe work if I create Item in inventory pass it to preview and delete it after something else is selected or closed but that doesn't seems right + if no space ?

I am really stuck at this 

Maybe someone has an idea

You can look into Akensors offline mode. He made this kind of preview and maybe you find out how he did it.

Yes I did but it's offline he does g_Game create object that does not work on server 

That is why I tried sending rpc  to create the object

Try to use GetGame() instead of g_game

Yep tried but that's server side client can't do it (i think )also while setting create local to true/false  

Didn't work after that i tried with rpc and could not find a way to give the Client the item even if the server created it

 

At least I think it did not work can't say for sure since I can not be 100% certain that ItemPreview is working correct but I can't see why it should not it's the same from inventory inspect (offline mode uses panelwidget but seem to work the same way from what I can tell)
