Solved Unable to cancel a player's inventory click event.

[_PAPER_PLANE_]

I created a vanilla GUI with cancel event, but players can still place items from their inventory into the GUI and can't retrieve them anymore. I recall that in previous versions, it would cancel both the GUI and the player's inventory together. Is there a solution to this now?
skript 2.7.1

Sending the code would be very helpful!

on inventory click:
  name of event-inventory is "lmao"
  cancel event
  if event-inventory is not player's inventory:
    if clicked slot is 8:
      send "You clicked on slot 8!"

Players can still place their items in the GUI as long as they use any code, including your code, even when using a cancellation event.

I had the same issue with a GUI of mine. The easiest way you can fix this is having the slot occupied by an existing item with a cancel event attached to it. That way even if a player tries to shift click, it won’t work since the slot is occupied. You could also try something more complicated and check if the slot that a player could shift click isn’t air and cancel event when it’s changed (Ie: If an empty slot isn’t air, cancel the event).

I never had this issue. It might just be a bug with the current Skript version.

I've noticed that when using

metadata tag "GUI" of player

the cancel event for the player's inventory doesn't work. However, if you use

name of event-inventory is "GUI"

it can effectively prevent clicking on player inventory items.

Welp, that concludes my research. Never, NEVER use metadata tags for gui's!
