Ok and I seem to have a problem where I can display 1 gui background texture and thats all but I need to be able to draw a rectangle that represents pwoer

Ok Im making a gui that displays info but I need this info to update all the time just like thermal expansions power display does

I got the generator working kinda ish

This is what I got so far package com.linumhost.TileEntity; import com.linumhost.Energy.IEnergyProvider; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; import net.minecraftforge.common.util.ForgeDirection; public class TileEntityAirGeneratorBlock extends TileEntity { protected int cooleantAmount; public int getAmount(){ return cooleantAmount; } public int extractAmount(int amount){ int postAmount = cooleantAmount; if(cooleantAmount < 0){ amount = 0; } int cooleantAmount = postAmount - amount; if(cooleantAmount < 0){ cooleantAmount = 0; } return cooleantAmount; } public void onUpdate(){ cooleantAmount += 100; } } package com.linumhost.TileEntity; import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard; import com.linumhost.Energy.EnergyStorage; import com.linumhost.Energy.IEnergyHandler; import com.mcpixelplex.Gui.TestGui; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.common.util.ForgeDirection; public class TileEntityServerCaseBlock extends TileEntity{ public static boolean isCooled = false; public static boolean receivingAir = false; protected int cooleantAmount; protected int maxCooleantAmount = 10000; public int getAmount(){ return cooleantAmount; } public int getMaxAmount(){ return maxCooleantAmount; } public int addCooleant(int amount){ return cooleantAmount += amount; } }

Good until I got to here "You also wanna check if any blocks have tileentity mathching the server tileentity and if it is call that particular server-tileentity's addCllleant-method and remove that amount from the generator's cooleantAmount" then I got so lost

In theory that should work right?

Maybe something like public void onBlockActivated(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityPlayer player) { if(!par1World.isRemote) { if(player.inventory.getCurrentItem().getItem() == Items.wrench && player.isSneaking()){ //stuff } } }

1. take custom block 2. use the onBlockActivated method to check if it was shift+right clicked 3. check what item was used 4. if the item was lets say a "wrench" then replace block with air then spawn the item

Im trying to explain this as much as possible, I want to make a block that creates coolant/energy (how every you want to call it) and then make my block register if it is receiving this coolant/energy and display true or false basicly

If I took a block and set a onBlockActivated method and check the tool that click the block and drop the block could I do that so that block requires a special tool

Sorry for the delay here are some pics.

Im not asking for code im just wanting someone to send me in the direction needed to learn how to do this

I dont really want to add the code in until I get a fix but when the pipes connect at a 90 degree angle the block bounds extends outwards to try to keep it a block but I want to know how to get the block bounds to hug the pipe no matter what

Have you tried rotating based on metadata

Ok I have a pipe and the block bounds works great if its just the core or straight but when it angles it gets wonky how can I fix this

See my problem with this is that when a pipe connects at a angle then the block bounds gets all wonky

Do alot of people really care about block bounds on pipes

So how can I make a generator make the coolant and then the server block detect if its cooled or not

The Item storage is just a place filler.

For now it will probably be simple storage but Ill add more advance thing later but the first thing I want it to do is make a generator that creates the coolant and then make the server accept the "air" coolant and register that its cooled

Its all I could think of and I am getting great practice with it

Ok heres my idea, im implementing servers into minecraft and I need the air type power as a coolant

Just wondering how can I make the provider have a internal buffer

Belopis thanks I know have a better understanding

Ive never used this api so I really dont understand how to use it
