[1.6.4][SOLVED]Dynamic Tooltip

[Nicba1010]

So guys and gals,

could you please tell me how would I go

about making a dynamic tooltip. I know

that i would probably need to use a packet

handler, but how.

 

Sincerely Nicba1010 and Dautor

Dynamic, how?

 

In any case, this might help:

Look for addInformation(...)

[Nicba1010]

Like, I right click, it changes the info, or i craft it with sth, it changes the info.

[Draco18s]

You have to save the information somewhere.  Then the right-click changes that datavalue, then the addInformation function interprets that datavalue as whatever you want it to say.

[Nicba1010]

So, like I save the tooltip String in NBT, and when I right click , I call the addInformation? Or does it get called automatically?

[Draco18s]

It's called automatically.  All you need to do is add your string to the list passed as a parameter.

[Nicba1010]

Ok, GTG but Dautor is here he wants to tell you sth.

Ty Draco18s, that really helped.

I didn't know that it runs that method every time, I thought it only does it on the item initialization.

You helped a lot, thanks once again!

This is what System.out.println() is made for.
