[SOLVED]Handling keypress serverside in mod

[crackedEgg]

I have a parachute mod that works in multiplayer except that I can't seem to use a key binding. I press a key © to add some lift to the parachute, it works fine in singleplayer, LAN, but doesn't seem to respond in multiplayer.

 

I recently converted this mod to FML, getting rid of all modloader code. What do I need to do to get this keybinding working serverside? Any help would be appreciated. I can't find anything on google or seaching these forums.

 

I'm using FML recommended.

You need to send a packet to the server telling it that the player has pressed the key and then call your parachute code from there. Feel free to check out my packet handler code for TFC Here

Thanks, I'm trying to grasp how to get this to work. I get an NPE when I call my sendPacket method. I think the server instance is null.

 

Do I need to implement IConnectionHandler and PlayerInfo as well?

 

But I get the idea now anyway. Thank you very much.

Thanks again for your help, I got it working. I had to use

FMLClientHandler.instance().sendPacket(packet);

in my sendCustomPacket method. Using any of the 'getServer' methods failed with NPE.
