[1.7.2]Damage bar as a fuel bar

[FLUFFY2]

Hello everyone!

I have an item that requires fuel saving its data to NBTs and its working.

I want to use the damage bar as a fuel bar.

I have already wrote a quick calculation thats updates the fuel bar.

The only proble is the item is unequipping and equipping because of the update.

Its updateing every 1 second and not every tick.

How can i slove this problem?

super.onUpdate and !par1World.isremote not help.

Can i save damage value into NBT datas and display that somehow?

Thanks!

Thats an awesome idea but most likely its going to be a bit hard to stop that equipping thing.(At least i never saw something that could be usefull in the item class)

I would get rid of the damage and add the energy bar to the texture.

 

And yes, you can save nearly everything to nbt. Maybe i can find some code thats helpful for you in my old 1.6 version(I am currently rewriting everything to update to 1.7...).

Mayebe i should try out overlay gui.

Its getting popular nowdays.

Try the deobf version of industrial craft, I know that is 1.6.4, but you may be able to figure out how the did their tools.

Thank you diesieben!

But how am i supposed to use this?

 

I get the current fuel level divided by the max fuel level.

In the onUpdate method i put "getDurabilityForDisplay(par1ItemStack)" to update the damage bar.

But no damage bar shown.

I saw 1.0 means 100% so i just simply return 1.0 but still not showing the bar.

Thanks anyway!

Seriously, what the hell?

So the method looks like this:

 

@Override

public double getDurabilityForDisplay(ItemStack stack)

{

      return (double)stack.getItemDamageForDisplay() / (stack)stack.getMaxDamage();

}

 

But if i get the fuel stored in NBT data and run trough a calculation that uses itemstack.setDamage(calculation(oil)) in onUpdate it still bounces when the damage bar is mooving.

 

So please can you show me a little piace of code for me?

I would apprechiate it!

As far as I am aware, you get that "bouncing" animation every time the damage value changes. I personally don't know any way around that, which is why I always use NBT to track these kinds of values, as NBT can update without triggering the animation.

[FLUFFY2]

You guys don't understand me. Sorry if i wrote it down wrong.

I have a fuel system saved and loaded from NBTs.

I don't useing damage value as fuel storing.

I only want to use it for visual not for functional reasons.

I use the method what diesieben sent me.

I got the fuel from the NBT and devide it by the max fuel value that the item can store.

There is no metatdata used!

So the resoult is a number between 0,0 and 1,0.

I read 1.0 mean damage bar 100% and 0.0 means 0%;

But that display method not working and there is no "visual damage bar" shown.

Again there is no item damageing happening in the background.

Forget my previous code.

@Override

public double getDurabilityForDisplay(ItemStack stack)

{

return (double)getOilLevel(stack) / (double)Lantern.lanternFuelCapacity * 60;

}

Thank you for that, but even if i try with a simple:

return 0.8;

Its still not showing up the 80% damage bar.

Its working now! Many thanks to you!
