Stacking rust items (amount)

[SimpleThings]

Hello. I wonder is it possible to stack rust items? For example, i want to group 4 items into one with amount: 4. The red box shows stacked items with amount 33. Is this possible to be done by some module or something? Like i have 100 pants and i want do convert it to one item with amount 100. Thanks in advice, stay safe!

Stacking is handled by the game, not by Steam. Maybe you could stack those items in-game somehow. If not, it's possible that the game will auto-stack items when you trade them.

I don't really know how it works, thats why i asked. I wont say name but there is a site where i deposit skins one by one and if i win f.e jackpot, im getting most of them stacked. No idea how are they doing it. Thanks for your replay tho

[SimpleThings]

I'm doing research but i can't really find anything for that.

Your best bet is to try to trade the unstacked items to another account and then back again. If that doesn't auto-stack them, you're pretty much SOL.

[SimpleThings]

Yeah, im using 2 bots for trading, one for storage and one which is used for the withdraws/deposits in one file. They are sending offers each other. If i take amount 2 by item with amount 10 (10 stacks) there will be 2 items with amounts 2 and 8, but i cant really group them back. Thats the point.

I guess they have tons of these items in stacks and they are just giving prizes by names and not assetids. No idea how they do it, but yeah. Lets say i deposited 10 items with different asset ids, if i win, they are giving me item with one asset id and amount 10. I guess im rly SOL

Still thanks for your help dude. Best of luck and stay safe!

Yo Kay, are you sure there is no any way of stacking rust items by the tradeoffers?   These guys resent my winnings 3 times, and with every offer the items were getting stacked over and over again. I googled 15 hours and couldnt find anything

[Dr. McKay]

I'm sure.

[SimpleThings]

Oh.. well their bot is not "in game". No idea how they do that tho but w.e. Stay safe dude and ty

Hey Simple not sure if you still have this problem, but seems like Steam auto stack rust items whenever they feel like it, looks like it's more frequent when you have a higher volume of trade/more items in the inventory. Don't think there is a way to control this behavior

[SimpleThings]

Thanks for the answer Mister. Im still trying to deal with this, i guess you're correct.

That's  actually not quite right, because i checked the bot's items and he had like 10 items in total, and when he sent me an offer, the items were stacked.

[SimpleThings]

Thanks Dr. McKay. I'll do my best to see how it works.

Wish it was in the tradeoffer manager tho

[SimpleThings]

Can i see some example code or something, because i do not understand how this works. Like when to call that, on accetOffer() or ... no idea. Thanks in advice.

[Dr. McKay]

You would call it whenever you want to combine some item stacks in your inventory. When you want to do it is up to you.

That method doesn't belong in steam-tradeoffer-manager since it has nothing to do with trade offers.

[SimpleThings]

I have no idea how to do that, but i'll do my best. Thank you Kay!

[SimpleThings]

Kay, can you show me in a code how this works please? I know you're super busy but i just don't understand how that works. Like i have to put item's assetids in there or what... Thank you.

[Dr. McKay]

I've never used it myself. I'm sure you can figure it out.

I'm going to assume that you pass the asset ID of the stack you want to put onto another one as fromitemid, the asset ID of the stack you want to put items onto as toassetid, and the amount of items you want to move as quantity.

[SimpleThings]

Alright, thanks bro. I'll do my best to do it.

[SimpleThings]

I got this! Thank you.

Mr. Kay, do you have any idea how i can stack these items, getting them by my inventory. 
Example: 

CEconItem {
    id: '3387261523668970097',
    amount: 3,
    market_hash_name: 'Blue Bandana',
},
CEconItem {
    id: '3387261523668970097',
    amount: 1,
    market_hash_name: 'Blue Bandana',
 },
CEconItem {
    id: '3387261523668970097',
    amount: 1,
    market_hash_name: 'Blue Bandana',
 },
 CEconItem {
    id: '3387261523668970092',
    amount: 1,
    market_hash_name: 'Yellow Bandana',
 },
 CEconItem {
    id: '3387261523668970092',
    amount: 3,
    market_hash_name: 'Yellow Bandana',
  }
    

Because on this post method i can only post one assetid in From and To variables, but what if the items are more than 2, such as in this situation above.

I'd like to get a result such as:
 

CEconItem {
  id: '3387261523668970097',
  amount: 5,
  market_hash_name: 'Blue Bandana',
},
CEconItem {
  id: '3387261523668970092',
  amount: 4,
  market_hash_name: 'Yellow Bandana',
}
    

Thanks in advice.

Bro, this thing ate my items. With each stack, my items dissapear from my inventory, they are not traded or something, they are just gone after the stacks. What is going on?

I did itemFrom and itemTo assetids  with the same assetid, and my item is just gone, i just tried now.

[Dr. McKay]

The fromitemid asset id should disappear, and the amount of the toitemid should increment by however much the amount of the fromitemid was.

[SimpleThings]

It deleted like 10 of my items. I have no idea where they are, because fromitemid and toitemid were exactly the same. I have no idea if i can get these items back, but people should be aware of it.

I created a function to stack the items, but i had a small bug where i did not put if(fromItem != toItem) and yeah.. that happened.
