Descripe

The function inventoryManager.removeItemFromPlayer(string direction, int count[, int slot\, string item]) does not pull the correct amount (count) of items. It seems to ignore 1 amount of every slot, therefore a slot with 1 item does not count at all and a slot with 2 items counts as 1 (see Video below).
Furthermore it does not pull items "randomely" as it states in the documentation.

Steps to reproduce

I hooked the Inventory Manager up to the PC and chest everythings fine and then run the one function as seen in the video.

Multiplayer?

Yes

I think I found the problem in this well documented code.

int amount = count;
        int transferableAmount = 0;

        ItemStack rest = ItemStack.EMPTY;
if (invSlot == -1)
            for (int i = 0; i < inventoryFrom.getContainerSize(); i++) {
                
                ... removed code

                if (stack.isEmpty())
                    if (inventoryFrom.getItem(i).getCount() >= amount) {
                        rest = insertItem(inventoryTo, inventoryFrom.removeItem(i, amount));
                        transferableAmount += amount - rest.getCount();
                        break;
                    } else {
                        int subcount = inventoryFrom.getItem(i).getCount();
                        rest = insertItem(inventoryTo, inventoryFrom.removeItem(i, subcount));
                        amount = count - subcount;
                        transferableAmount += subcount - rest.getCount();
                        if (!rest.isEmpty())
                            break;
                    }
            }

count is the amount of items we want to move and does not get changed.
amount gets used to check the amount of items which still need to be transfered
subcount is obviously the amount of item in the given slot (iterating over all slots from inventoryFrom)

Here comes the problem if inventoryFrom.getItem(i).getCount() >= amount is false we get the else statement, where amount = count - subcount. The amount gets basically reset for every itteration, in which there is not enough items in the curent and the previous slot. Thus it will never stop until the sum of the count of slot(i) and slot(i+1) equals to the count.
Replacing the equation with amount -= subcount should do the trick.
I just thought about another option, which gets rid of amount, by just replacing
if (inventoryFrom.getItem(i).getCount() >= amount)
with
if (inventoryFrom.getItem(i).getCount() >= count - transferableAmount)
becaus transferableAmount is basically the amount of transfered items (if the target inventory is full the loop breaks anyways).
(This also needs to be fixed for the removed Code)

Such a wonderful explanation and no pr 😉

Just kidding, I`ll see what I can do
