Cleanly take item from the inventory into the cursor

The idea is to look for a certain item in the player inventory and if it's there, place it into the cursor.
I figured out this:
Code: Select all
local stuff = inv.find_item_stack("item-name")
if stuff then
player.clean_cursor()
player.cursor_stack.set_stack(stuff)
player.remove_item(stuff)
end
And it seems to work fine, but it works the old way where the item disappears from the inventory. How do I do it the new nice way where the placeholder "hand" appears in place of the taken item? I looked in the API reference and I found how to set an item filter in place of the taken item, but not the special "hand" placeholder.

moving an item stack from one inventory to another is something I'd like to see cleanly. AFAIK, currently, there's no easy way to move items with their own inventory, like power armor etc. I may be mistaken though, your code might do just that.

That is what

I tried swap_stack too, it still doesn't leave the "hand" placeholder in the player inventory if I do either
Code: Select all
local stuff = inv.find_item_stack("item-name")
if stuff then
player.clean_cursor()
player.cursor_stack.swap_stack(stuff)
end
OR
Code: Select all
local stuff = inv.find_item_stack("item-name")
if stuff then
player.clean_cursor()
stuff.swap_stack(player.cursor_stack)
end

I was replying to bob, not you. I don't know of a way to make "the hand" work with lua item manipulation off the top of my head. You will probably have better luck in just making a modding interface request to be able to change things about the hand from lua.
