could someone refence me to a vanilla example of this, I can't figure out how to search through the forgesrc library.

look into the folder structure for vanilla, don't know off hand

How do I set it's NBT, there is a function that uses nbt but it does not have a proper name.

If it matters the variable could actually be anything but a float would lessen the amount of programming I have to do

just a float, it gets set after Tile Entity creation and should stay the same until the Tile Entity is deleted. The variable does get set client side on creation but not on world load.

how would I go about doing that

Try overriding the entity methods that allow dismount or save the player and force it to mount over and over in onUpdate

Is there a way to use Datawatchers in a Tile Entity, I think my variable might not be loaded clientside on world load.

thanks!

Is it working?

How do you give a block a specific ID? All I have for my super parameters is material.

So it's working but your entity gets teleported to newly spawned ones. Could I see your spawning code?

post the crash. Also, you might want to just set the time for potion effects low so that you don't have to clear all effects

Make sure the datawatcher is only set on the server (!this.worldObj.isRemote). I'm going to bed, I'll check in in the morning!

let me know if you have problems, don't forget to thankyou button if it works!

Thank you! Works like a charm!!!

If what I suggested doesn't work I'll look at it some more. DataWatchers are entity specific which is why I suggested them. You mentioned "And how do i even set my tail wont spawn anymore if the condition changes" problem. If you store the value in a variable and prevent the variable from getting set if it is already false then that won't happen. E.G. public boolean tailisvisible; onUpdate() { if (tailisvisible && this.getMaxHealth() < 1500) { tailisvisible = false } }

I use something like: if (!world.isRemote) { sEntity = new EntityController(world); sEntity.setPosition(x + 0.5, y + 1, z + 0.5); float fYaw = DEBClasses_v1.fourRotations(entity.rotationYaw); sEntity.rotationYaw = fYaw; sEntity.sX = x; sEntity.sY = y; sEntity.sZ = z; world.spawnEntityInWorld(sEntity); } might help, definitly works for me with setPosition

if i delete the Entity and make it public the entity does not seem to be saved. do i need to add the super.s again or something else? (still have the @Override)

I can look more closely at the code if you want but try using a DataWatcher to update the variable clientside and then have the renderer check that. Also, add a if() statement to your showTail() method to check if the variable is true, that should prevent it from switching from false to true.

figured it out, didn't like being in the NBT method. used: if (!active && !this.worldObj.isRemote && sX + sY + sZ != 0 && this.worldObj.getBlock(sX, sY, sZ) instanceof BlockController) { BlockController sBlock = (BlockController) this.worldObj.getBlock(sX, sY, sZ); sBlock.sEntity = this; System.out.println(sX + " " + sY + " " + sZ); } in onUpdate could you please tell me what methods you are supposed to use for NBT?

Paste everything, this is confusing. Sounds like you might be using a static variable or server->client data transfer wrong. Again, show us it all.

Let me know what those are, still a bit of a newb, but not the problem. I deleted the super.blahs, not supposed to be there, and isolated the problem to: if (this.worldObj.getBlock(sX, sY, sZ) instanceof BlockController) { I'm crashing on load with (saving seems fine): [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [LaunchWrapper]: Loading tweak class name cpw.mods.fml.common.launcher.FMLTweaker [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [LaunchWrapper]: Using primary tweak class name cpw.mods.fml.common.launcher.FMLTweaker [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [LaunchWrapper]: Calling tweak class cpw.mods.fml.common.launcher.FMLTweaker [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [FML]: Forge Mod Loader version 7.2.209.1112 for Minecraft 1.7.2 loading [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [FML]: Java is Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.7.0_60, running on Windows 7:amd64:6.1, installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 [22:18:09] [main/INFO] [FML]: Managed to load a deobfuscated Minecraft name- we are in a deobfuscated environment.
