I'm working on a placeholder entity so that I can work on the logic and AI before actually modeling, texturing, and animating one. I'm trying to ensure the mob can climb, like spiders. That much I have gotten, and my entity is functioning exactly as intended. The only issue comes when I try to get this entity data from the client when I'm overriding the Renderer's render call. Regardless of what I do, this entitydata is seemingly always false (even when the server reports it as being true) when I try to retrieve it using my isClimbing() method, despite it returning true when using debug prints on the Server. I'm guessing its an issue with how I implemented entitydata, so I'm curious if anyone can look at what I've got and point me in the right direction.

 

My implementations of the Entity and Renderer class are below:

Entity Class

Entity Renderer

 

In this version of EntityRenderer I'm accessing SYNC_DATA directly, but previously, I was attempting to access it via the isClimbing() method. Neither seem to work from within the Renderer.

 

Thanks

    public void tick() {
-- snip -- 

        this.setClimbing(this.horizontalCollision);
 
        super.tick();
    }

The entity tick() happens on both the client and server.

But "horizontalCollision" will probably only be calculated on the server - or more accurately for isControlledByLocalInstance()

Thanks! Everything's working now.
