Many thanks! Your reply was really fast! I started naming classes *Block/Entity/Item, and then found out that about the convention... I'll rename classes later. I did some server programming on perl long time ago, so I know about validating data that comes from client. I'll try out your suggestions and reply later if I'll have any troubles. Thanks again.

Hello everybody! I have a problem with figuring out how to use Gui classes to modify specific variables of a custom entity. I searched for tutorials or code examples (even looked in vanilla) about GUI, but they all seem to be about Inventory, Containers and TileEntitties. What about entities? Here I have a custom entity that on processInteract should open a Gui to change its state: /* Package and imports */ public class CameraEntity extends EntityLiving { /* Here are the variables I want to modify */ public float speed = 0.4F; public float accelerationRate = 0.02F; public float accelerationMax = 1.5f; public boolean canFly = true; protected float acceleration = 0.0F; /* Constructor and other method that modify entity's state */ /** * Processes player's right clicking on the entity * * If the player holds camera configuration item, then GUI with camera * configuration properties should pop up, otherwise start riding */ @Override public boolean processInteract(EntityPlayer player, EnumHand p_184645_2_, ItemStack stack) { if (!worldObj.isRemote) { ItemStack item = player.getHeldItemMainhand(); if (item != null && item.getItem() instanceof CameraConfigItem) { player.openGui(MyMod.instance, 0, worldObj, (int) posX, (int) posY, (int) posZ); return true; } if (!isBeingRidden()) { return player.startRiding(this); } } return false; } /* Riding logic (moveEntityWithHeading, canBeSteered, getControllingPassenger) */ } Basically I want to modify first four public variables (I know that they won't be saved). There's my GUI code: /* Package and imports */ public class GuiCamera extends GuiScreen { /* static validator */ protected GuiTextField speed; protected GuiTextField accelerationRate; protected GuiTextField accelerationMax; protected GuiButton canFly; protected GuiButton done; public GuiCamera() { /* How can I pass entity here? */ } @Override public void initGui() { int x = width/2 - 150; speed = new GuiTextField(0, fontRendererObj, x, 50, 300, 20); // speed.setText(Double.toString(camera.speed)); speed.setValidator(validator); accelerationRate = new GuiTextField(1, fontRendererObj, x, 90, 300, 20); // accelerationRate.setText(Double.toString(camera.accelerationRate)); accelerationRate.setValidator(validator); accelerationMax = new GuiTextField(2, fontRendererObj, x, 130, 300, 20); // accelerationMax.setText(Double.toString(camera.accelerationMax)); accelerationMax.setValidator(validator); buttonList.clear(); buttonList.add(canFly = new GuiButton(3, x, 180, 160, 20, "Can fly")); buttonList.add(done = new GuiButton(4, x + 180, 160, 140, 20, "Done")); // canFly.displayString = camera.canFly ? "Can fly" : "Can't fly"; } @Override protected void actionPerformed(GuiButton button) throws IOException { switch (button.id) { case 3: updateFlyButton(); break; case 4: mc.displayGuiScreen(null); break; } } private void updateFlyButton() { if (canFly.displayString == "Can fly") { canFly.displayString = "Can't fly"; } else { canFly.displayString = "Can fly"; } } /* Mouse clicked, key typed and draw screen methods are here */ } There's few issues I'm having here: 1. I can't pass entity to the GuiCamera, I tried using world.getEntitiesWithinAABB, but it throws and error saying "Error executing task" 2. I need Container in order to open the GUI, but I don't know how to pass entity in it and I don't know how to use this class to communicate between client and server or how to use it to change state of the entity So now is the question: how can I use IGuiHandler to modify state of the custom entity? Thank you for your attention P.S.: I don't ask for ready to use code, I ask for guidance. Thanks. P.S.S.: when I'm pressing "Done" button in GUI, for some reason game starts to glitch a little bit, for example when I use /give command given item/block doesn't appear in the inventory, but after a while it does appear. It looks like game goes out of sync. Is there any other code I should execute before closing the GUI with mc.displayGuiScreen(null);?
