I have a simple tile entity which is having some troubles.  The field controlState does not seem to set.  I am logging the it's value in updateEntity and it seems to alternate, each tick, between the default value (RED_DISABLES) and a value set during runtime (when one is chosen from the GUI).  When I access the field from other classes it only ever returns it's default value.  Am I doing something wrong?

 

The tile entity's source is available here.

Hi

 

It sounds to me like your TileEntityMachine keeps getting destroyed and a new one created every time.  I can't tell why.  Might also be some client<-->server problem.

 

Perhaps you could try adding a couple of diagnostics to check this - for example add a counter, every time a new TileEntityMachine is created you give it a new ID number, then from your logging statements include the ID.

 

eg

 

static int nextID;

int myID;

 

in your constructor write

 

myID = nextID++;

 

and in your getControlState log the myID.

 

That might help narrow the cause down.

Welcome to client-server disparity.

 

The alternations you're seeing are Client: not-set, Server: set, Client: not-set, Server: set

 

You need to start using packets.

I am using packets to set the server from the GUI, I guess I need to use a packet to sync the client and the server.  Thanks!
