question 2: with the event EntityItemPickupEvent. How get what item is picked up?

 

here's my event handler code:

 

package com.karelmikie3.BioChemistry.events;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.util.IChatComponent;

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.EntityItemPickupEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

 

public class EventMobPrepCollector {

@SubscribeEvent

public void onItemPickup(EntityItemPickupEvent event){

event.entityPlayer.addChatMessage();

}

}

for question 1 i ment it says that you need to use a IChatCompent, how do i use that if i want to send a string?

for question 2: how do i compare the item picked to if it is iquel to a item a created?

[DoctorBooooom]

entityPlayer.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation("msg.message_name.txt"));

 

You need to create a language file (make sure its UTF-8 encoded)

assets/<modID>/lang/<langID>.lang

 

Example File: en_US.lang

 

msg.message_name.txt=Displayed Message

another question: how to get the player name from event.entityPlayer?

[karelmikie3]

get item doesn't seem to work.

 

I tried this:

 

package com.karelmikie3.BioChemistry.events;

 

import com.karelmikie3.BioChemistry.BioChemistry;

import com.karelmikie3.BioChemistry.Items.ItemMobPrepCollector;

 

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.util.ChatComponentTranslation;

import net.minecraft.util.IChatComponent;

import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.EntityItemPickupEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

 

public class EventMobPrepCollector {

@SubscribeEvent

public void onItemPickup(EntityItemPickupEvent event){

if(event.item = BioChemistry.itemMobPrepCollector.getItem()){

System.out.println("hello");

}

event.entityPlayer.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation("msg.test_text"));

}

}

 

 

 

it says: The method getItem() is undefined for the type Item
