hi guys, i need help  with tileentitys. i have a button in my tileentity and i want if i press the butten, a function should be called up in the in the tileentityclass. 

More precisely said the brewBlackout() class

my Init in the Screen:

    @Override
    protected void init() {
        this.addButton(new ImageButton(this.guiLeft + 10, this.height + 30, 20, 18, 0, 0, 19, CONTINUE_BUTTON, (button) -> {

          
            ((ImageButton)button).setPosition(this.guiLeft + 20, this.height / 2 - 49);
        }));
    }

Buttons are client side only, you must send a packet to the server saying "this button was pressed."

and how do I do it exactly? With NetworkHooks?

I've read it through the page several times now and still don't understand exactly how to do it

I just copied and adapted the examples on the forum page. Despite the documentation, I don't understand exactly how to tell the server that I have pressed the button and how the server can then call the function

 

Edited October 22, 20213 yr by TheTrueSCP

https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking/simpleimpl/#sending-to-the-server

If i try to write the SimpleChannel Object ive get errors like:
 

Incompatible types. Found: 'net.minecraftforge.fml.network.simple.SimpleChannel', required: 'net.the_goldbeards.lootdebugs.Server.SimpleChannel'

    private static final String PROTICOL_VERSION = "1";
    public static final SimpleChannel CHANNEL = NetworkRegistry.newSimpleChannel(
            new ResourceLocation("corruption","main")
            ,() -> PROTICOL_VERSION
            , PROTICOL_VERSION::equals
            , PROTICOL_VERSION::equals);

 

Unfortunately, that's the complete code, I don't know how to change the parameters in the example in the documentation

In this Class: 

package net.the_goldbeards.lootdebugs.Server;


import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.network.NetworkRegistry;
import net.the_goldbeards.lootdebugs.LootDebugsMain;

public  class SimpleChannel
{
    private static final String PROTICOL_VERSION = "1";
    public static final SimpleChannel CHANNEL = NetworkRegistry.newSimpleChannel(
            new ResourceLocation("corruption","main")
            ,() -> PROTICOL_VERSION
            , PROTICOL_VERSION::equals
            , PROTICOL_VERSION::equals);


}

ok, it works, but how can i say the server that i pressed the button?

 

sorry for asking, but how exactly? In the documentation it is not shown so precisely

ok, i have writed the Button Method but i have no idea what to write in the .sendToServer Method 

 @Override
    protected void init() {
        super.init();
        this.addButton(new ImageButton(this.guiLeft + 20, this.height / 2 - 49, 20, 18, 0, 0, 19, CONTINUE_BUTTON, (button) -> {

            PacketHandler.CHANNEL.sendToServer(new PubTile());
            ((ImageButton)button).setPosition(this.guiLeft + 20, this.height / 2 - 49);
        }));
        this.titleX = (this.xSize - this.font.getStringPropertyWidth(this.title)) / 2;
    }

 

your message class should have two fields: player uuid and button name (and two methods: encode and decode). make an instance of this message class and send it.

edit: also include block position in the message.

Edited October 23, 20213 yr by MFMods
added a few bits

ok, i'm not surprised i was wrong about the player, i've only ever sent in opposite direction. getSender is there and i should have checked instead of posting blindly...

but how would he know the block location without including it in the message?

and why should I instantiate a class when I really only want to call one function?

so i should create a function which in turn executes the function?

but what package?

i dont know how do i create a package and what should be in this something

 

 One question, could you (if you don't mind) please send a sample code, unfortunately I still don't understand the documentation 😅 

Oh gosh, how simple.

Oh boy howdy, how easy.

If only the documentation matched. Oh wait it does.

(I will note that I haven't messed with the code in like 3 years and I am sending and not verifying the TE pos)

Sorry for the late reply but I've tried it now. However, the game crashes when i press the button with the following error
