[Solved] [1.7.2] getting default mob drops (obfuscated method name)

[wesserboy]

Hello,

I had this idea for a mod that spawns particles around an entity of the item that it drops, i found this method in EntityLiving called getDropItem(), and i wanted to use this to get the item the particle should look like, the only problem is that this method is protected, does anybody know if there is a forge hook to still get this item or another way to get the drop of a specific entity?

Use Java Reflection.

I used java reflection, and in my dev environment it seemed to work fine, it spawned the particles every time, but when i exported the mod and tried it, it didn't spawn any particles at all. this is the code i am using:

ParticleHelper:

does anybody know why this happens?

I have looked into it further and i have noticed the problem, entities that do have a getDropItem() method cause a noSuchMethodException if i run the exported version of the mod, however the same entity doesn't cause this exception in eclipse...

 

does anybody know what could be the cause of this?

[wesserboy]

ok, i am one step further now, since i use a String to find the method within the class i can't use "getDropItem" outside eclipse, i need the obfuscated name of getDropItem, does anybody know where i can find this obfuscated name?

[wesserboy]

thanks everybody, i found the name and it work great now,

if someone wants to know the obfuscated name was func_146068_u

i found it by opening the reobf file of mcp with a tekst editor.

MCPBot [ GET CLIENT METHODS ]

MCPBot Side : client

MCPBot Name : EntityLiving.getDropItem

MCPBot Notch : ri.u

MCPBot Searge : func_146068_u

MCPBot Type/Notch : ()Lnet/minecraft/item/Item; | ()Labn;

[wesserboy]

yeah, i read about the MCPbot, but i've never used irc and i couldn't get it to connect to the channel so i figured i would just look at the reobf file

Keen, that works too

 

If you are interested in MCPbot but the IRC is causing you grief, this might be of interest
