If Time == ?

[Sirpwnsamin]

Hey, I am a fairly new Mod Maker (started a few weeks ago) and I was wondering if it were possible in Forge without editing any forge/vanilla files to check the current time and use it in an if statement. All help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

yeah its possible. In the World.Class is a function called:

 

getWorldTime();

getTotalWorldTime();

setWorldTime(long time);

 

That is what you need. But before you code you should read a lot of sources. And try to understand what function does what. (not every singel.)

but the important one like setBlock, getTile/Block/Meta/ItemStack

how to create something, How to use something.

When you have an error where you have to look. and and and.

You might want to @Override that method, and can you not make your version of worldTime static, instead of changing base classes?

World world != World

You can not access always accsses functions from a class like this:

 

int time = World.getWorldTime();

 

that would not work because from where should he get the time. its like you want to know how much is in a cup, but you do not tell which cup.

 

You had everything what you need.

 

But the thing is you only can access the client side (on a server would it not work)

make this instead of your old code:

 

long clientTime;

 

public boolean onTickInGame(float time, Minecraft instances)

{

    clientTime = instances.theWorld.getWorldTime();

    return false;

}

 

But this only works on client time^^"
