Ok, thanks!

 

My search for the setter is over.

 

I did realise that is what all these methods do, however I always assumed setTag was private.

It's #setTagCompound... but you should have been able to find that out in < 1 second by just typing 'stack.set' in your IDE.

 

I have tried typing that, immediately after I typed stack.setTagCom the window disappears.

 

Does it have something to do with #merge(NbtTagCompound)

nbt.setCompoundTag("Tag1", new NBTTagCompound());

 

I don't believe this method exists in NBTTagCompound.

 

PS. Using 1.8[/code]

I can't figure out how to save a Compound to the root of an ItemStack.

 

stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());

 

Like that.  Its magic.  You now have NBT data and can start storing things into it.

 

stack.getTagCompound().setWhatever("Key",value);

 

I need to save a second compound in the structure:

 

{

    Charger:{

        tags...

    }

}

Ok so I've been working with NBT and some custom interfaces, my problem is that I can't figure out how to save a Compound to the root of an ItemStack.

 

Their is no setTagCompound() method and the closest I can find is merge(), anyway heres my code.

 

if(!stack.hasTagCompound()){
    stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
}

NBTTagCompound save = this.getCharger(stack).save();

for(Object key : save.getKeySet()){
    stack.getTagCompound().getCompoundTag("Charger").setTag((String) key, save.getTag((String) key));
}

 

This is in the onUpdate method, .save() is a method that returns an NBTTagCompound.

 

Also, is there a method I can override so I don't have to put this in onUpdate(), eg. onLoad, onSave.

Whoops...

 

Found it, I forgot to remove the

setMaxDamage(50);

Hello Curlip here,

 

I have been creating a tool that must be charged using Redstone Dust and when fired uses TNT. Currently that all works fine, however when I started the attempt to display the Redstone level using the Damage bar, it starts with a damage offset of 14 damage and caps the top of the redstone level at 50 instead of 64.

 

ExplodingMiner:

 

public class ExplodingTool extends SimpleItem {

public ExplodingTool(String itemid) {
	super(itemid);

	setMaxDamage(50);
	setNoRepair();
}

@Override
public boolean onBlockStartBreak(ItemStack stack, BlockPos pos, EntityPlayer player){
	if(stack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Redstone") != 0){
		if(player.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(Blocks.tnt.getItem(player.worldObj, pos))){
			player.worldObj.createExplosion(new EntityTNTPrimed(player.worldObj), (double) pos.getX(), (double) pos.getY(), (double) pos.getZ(), 2, true);

			NBTTagCompound compound = stack.getTagCompound();
			int redstone = compound.getInteger("Redstone");

			compound.setInteger("Redstone", redstone - 1);

			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
	return true;
}

@Override
public int getDamage(ItemStack stack){
	if(stack.getTagCompound() != null){
		int redstone = stack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Redstone");

		return getMaxDamage() - redstone;
	}

	return getMaxDamage();
}

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, EntityPlayer player){
	NBTTagCompound compound = stack.getTagCompound();

	System.out.println(compound.getInteger("Redstone"));  //Debug

	if(compound.getInteger("Redstone") != getMaxDamage()){
		if(player.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(Items.redstone)){
			compound.setInteger("Redstone", (compound.getInteger("Redstone"))+1);
		}
	}

	return stack;
}

public void onUpdate(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, Entity entityIn, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) {
	if(stack.getTagCompound() == null){
		stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	}
}

@Override
public int getMaxDamage(ItemStack stack){
	return 64;
}

@Override
public float getDigSpeed(ItemStack stack, IBlockState state){
	return 5;
}

@Override
public boolean showDurabilityBar(ItemStack stack){
	return true;
}
}

 

Thanks in Advance
