[1.7.2]Crash on player.addChatComponentMessage

[DuskFall]

So for some reason, i'm getting a npe in in my sendChatToPlayer function, but it was working previously. Here's all it is :

 

    public static void sendChatToPlayer(EntityPlayer player, String message)

    {

    player.addChatComponentMessage(new ChatComponentText(message));

    }

 

And the stacktrace is :

 

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayerMP.addChatComponentMessage(EntityPlayerMP.java:987) ~[EntityPlayerMP.class:?]

at mymod.util.ChatMessageHandler.sendChatToPlayer(ChatMessageHandler.java:33) ~[ChatMessageHandler.class:?]

 

The line it fails at is :

        this.playerNetServerHandler.sendPacket(new S02PacketChat(p_146105_1_));

in the EntityPlayerMP class in the net.minecraft.blah.blah bit.

 

Whats going wrong?

I personally wasnt calling that, the  player.addChatComponentMessage(new ChatComponentText(message)) calls it. As in, the function addChatComponentMessage is as follows :

 

    public void addChatComponentMessage(IChatComponent p_146105_1_)

    {

        this.playerNetServerHandler.sendPacket(new S02PacketChat(p_146105_1_));

    }

I call sendChatToPlayer(EntityPlayer player, String message) in er, almost everywhere, but the problem is in my "setSkill" method in my ExtendedEntityProperties. The method is :

 

public void setSkill(Skill lookup, int i, EntityPlayer player)

{

Side side = FMLCommonHandler.instance().getEffectiveSide();

RSLogging.log(this.getClass(), "Increasing level");

 

if (side == Side.CLIENT)

{

RSLogging.log(this.getClass(), "So not doing anything");

}

else

{

this.SkillAmounts[lookup.ordinal()] = i;

this.ExpAmounts[lookup.ordinal()] = this.limits[i - 1];

RSChatMessageHandler.sendChatToPlayer(player, "Congratulations, you are now " + this.getSkill(lookup) +" " + lookup.name().toLowerCase());

}

}

 

(RSLogging.log takes the class and a message, and prints the class, effective side and message)

I havent solved it, but i found a work around that suits me fine
