[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay - i might sound really stupid now but how? Do i have to send the tileentity in the packet? As coordinates or something?

[How to use Reflection to change vanilla values]

There is an easier way made by forge. Its called ObfuscationReflectionHelper. In there use the methods getPrivateValue/setPrivatevalue etc

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

This is my packet - am i doing it the correct way?

package itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.packets;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

import io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.network.ByteBufUtils;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.IMessage;

public class ElectricDataPackage implements IMessage{
float voltage;

public ElectricDataPackage() {
}

public ElectricDataPackage(float voltage){
	this.voltage=voltage;
}

@Override
public void fromBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
	voltage = buf.readFloat();
}

@Override
public void toBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
	buf.writeFloat(voltage);
}


}

 

Now i don't know what excactly to do in the packethandler. I tried passing the value through a static variable in my custom overlayclass, but it didn't work.

 

Thats what i tried:

package itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.packets;

import java.awt.Color;

import itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.gui.lifesystem.RLMOverlay;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.IMessageHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.MessageContext;

public class VoltagePackethandler implements IMessageHandler<ElectricDataPackage, ElectricDataPackage>{

@Override
public ElectricDataPackage onMessage(ElectricDataPackage message, MessageContext ctx) {
	RLMOverlay.voltage=message.voltage;
	return message;
}

}

[Techne Rendering problem]

Also befor doing model.render((Entity)null...) do GL11.glDisable(GL11.GL_CULL_FACE).

 

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay... but how do i send the value to the gui? I think having a static variable in my GuiOverlay isn't the right way is it?

Im feeling so stupid cuz i ask so much about packets, sorry

[Render Model from JSON anywhere in the World]

well youll never be able to render something independant of the world, cuz you have to set its world coordinates, but independant of blockpos - why? What you wanna do?

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Then how? How can i send the calue to the gui? Plz reply quick, only got five minutes left Guis working on internet and i wanna get the enrgy system work.

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Can i just make my Gui implement IMessageHandler?

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

But my tileentity has no container and adding one just for this would be absolutly unnecessary. Tell me how i can use packets for that please

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Well i looked at the blockFurnace class and in the tileentityFurnace class. I searched for crafter and looked through all methods, but nothing...

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

I can't find that anywhere - im in 1.8 btw.

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Ooookay.... Ill have a look at that

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay this might sound weird, but how can i get the voltage from the packet? I would send it to ClientEvery tick, but i only know how to execute something with a packet, but i tried setting a value with it and it stayed zero but on the server it wasn't.

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay, for the disconnection of tiles, i need to send an update AFTER the 'to' variable is set to null. How should i do this?

[[1.8] How to make attachable entity?]

I need to attach one entity to some other mobs, (by attaching i mean when i press button it will spawn on that entity and it will change its location and rotation based on entity it is attached to ) I done everything but i can't make entity to stay attached to another one. I know it can be done with updating entity but i don't know how to deliver coordinates of entity it is attached to. I hope i was clear with what i said, it sounds little complicated.

 

Uhm...use use player.mountEntity(this)

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

I call it in the superclass like this:

 

public void passOverVoltage(){
	if(getTo()!=null){
		getTo().onPowered(this.getVoltageValueAfterPowering());
		System.out.println("Tried passing voltage to"+getTo().getClass().getSimpleName()+" Voltage is:"+getVoltage());
	}
}

 

and this method is called within the update() method:

if(getTo()!=null){
    		this.passOverVoltage();
    		this.voltage=0;
	    	if(storedPos!=null&&worldObj.getTileEntity(storedPos)==null||!(worldObj.getTileEntity(storedPos)instanceof TileEntity_Electric)){
	    		to=null;
	    		storedPos=null;
	    	}
    	}

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

    @Override
    public void update(){
    	super.update();
    	if(worldObj.isRemote)return;
    	if(this.getVoltage()>0){
    		isActive=true;
    	}else
    		isActive=false;
    	
    	if(isActive){
    		worldObj.getBlockState(getPos()).getBlock().setLightLevel(10.0f);
    	}else
    	{
    		worldObj.getBlockState(getPos()).getBlock().setLightLevel(0);
    	}
    	
    }
    
@Override
public void onPowered(float f) {
	super.onPowered(f);
	this.isActive=true;
	worldObj.markBlockForUpdate(getPos());
}

 

I tried marking for update in the update method and the game crashed

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

I think you need to mark the block for an update. search for the correct method in ur IDE, might solve the problem.

Yea i do this already. Its MarkBlockForUpdate(Blockpos). But still it doesn't  do it.

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay.  But how can i solve that lighting problem?

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

The block just doesn't rotate. Doesn't matter from witch side i place it.

Also that getLightValue method does not update immediatly when the block is getting powered.

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

You can just use the variables in your TileEntity, it exists on the client, too.

 

okayyyy...But what excactly am i sending in that packet then? Do i send the whole tileentity? If yes, how?

Also this method still does not work

    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase placer, ItemStack stack) {
    	super.onBlockPlacedBy(worldIn, pos, state, placer, stack);
    	 TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
         if (tileentity instanceof TileEntity_Electric){
        	 TileEntity_Electrictile = (TileEntity_Electric)tileentity;
        	 tile.rotation = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(placer.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3;

         }
    }

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay - so with the packet should i set a  variable or how can i get the data into the Gui?

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Also - for example my lantern does not turn on immediatly when getting powered, but often i have to reopen the world so it is lit up. Thats how i set the lightlevel of the block:

 

  @Override
    public void update(){
    	super.update();
    	if(worldObj.isRemote)return;
    	if(this.getVoltage()>0){
    		isActive=true;
    	}else
    		isActive=false;
    	
    	if(isActive){
    		worldObj.getBlockState(getPos()).getBlock().setLightLevel(100.0f);
    	}else
    	{
    		worldObj.getBlockState(getPos()).getBlock().setLightLevel(0);
    	}
    	
    }
    
@Override
public void onPowered(float f) {
	super.onPowered(f);
	this.isActive=true;
	worldObj.getBlockState(getPos()).getBlock().setLightLevel(10.0f);
	worldObj.markBlockForUpdate(getPos());
}

[[UNSOLVED]Strange things happen with my energysystem[1.8]]

Okay - now there is some other strange stuff. I can connect the blocks bugfree now, but for example i connect my Pinwheel to the transformer. In the pinwheel i set the energy to 440 every tick. My TileENtity_Electric automaticly passes over the enrgy to the connected block like this:

 

public void passOverVoltage(){
	if(getTo()!=null){
		getTo().onPowered(this.getVoltageValueAfterPowering());
		System.out.println("Tried passing voltage to"+getTo().getClass().getSimpleName()+" Voltage is:"+getVoltage());
	}
}

 

BUT - when i hover over the transformer in minecraft, on the guioverlay the voltage still is 0.0, while in code with System.out.println it is 440. How can i fix that?
