how to set player specific nbt tags outside of the EntityPlayer class

[Gnomorian]

hi, im making a Final Fantacy mod with a friend, one of the things that is in it is classes,

for arguments sake there is a variable

level=0

that is changed over time depending on how often you use the tool of your class (archer=bow etc)

then it is written using

 

public void writeEntityToNBT(NBTTagCompound par1NBTTagCompound){

    nbt.setInt("level"this.level);

}

now EntityPlayer has this function, how do i make it so the player has this written to there file using nbt but without modifying the EntityPlayer class as your not aloud to do that now

 

thanks for the help

//in any class that is not EntityPlayer
public void someGenericFunctionThatPassesEntityPlayer(EntityPlayer player) {
    player.entityData.setInteger("level",someValue);
}

I think what you are looking for is IExtendedEntityProperties. This post over at minecraft forums has a quick run down of how to use it. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1952901-eventhandler-and-iextendedentityproperties/#entry24051513
