So, when I'm trying to add "power" to the overall power, the code just skips the adding part and just does as it pleases.

 

BlockPowerProducer

public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityPlayer player, int par6, float par7, float par8, float par9)
{
	if(this.ownerNeedSet)
	{
		this.playerOwner = player.username;
		PlayerPower prop = PlayerPower.get(player);
		prop.addPower(power);
		this.ownerNeedSet = false;
	}
	if(player.username.equals(this.playerOwner))
		if(!world.isRemote)
		{
			TileEntityPP pp = (TileEntityPP) world.getBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);
			pp.outputPower(player, world);
		}
	player.addChatMessage("Owner is: " + this.playerOwner);
	return true;
}

 

The problem in here is that the owner is set but the "power" is never added.

 

PlayerPower.class implements IExtendedEntityProperties

public void addPower(long power)
{
	this.currentPower = this.currentPower + power;
}

It's not location specific.  This isn't like BC or IC.  Different power system.  Decentralized.  The "power" variable starts at 0 and changes based on structures that need power or produce power.

Extensive testing shows that the code does get called but the power never gets added even though power can be removed and without putting prop.addPower(int) in the if statement in the BlockPowerProducer lets power be generated.  The question seems to be is why doesn't the power work when used in the if statement?

Probably the "power" value is always 0.

All the power variables things shouldn't be in a block class.

this.currentPower = this.currentPower + power;

More efficient code:

this.currentPower += power;

this.currentPower = this.currentPower + power;

More efficient code:

this.currentPower += power;

 

Usually the two compile to the same thing.  += is faster to type though.
