[1.7.2] Using IExtendedEntityProperties

[loawkise]

I have mod with a level and an xp field set up. These need to be saved when the player leaves the world otherwise they just revert back to their defaults of 1 and 0.

[delpi]

Looked up ExtendedEntityProperties.

[Kwibble]

And if you want to keep it persistent over death, look into EntityPlayer.PERSISTANT_TAG (or something similar), EntityJoinWorldEvent and LivingDeathEvent.

[loawkise]

Okay I have set this up and I believe it to be correct, but I am not sure what to do from now. I want the xp to increase everytime the mob attacks, any ideas?

[Kwibble]

Use the event LivingAttackEvent.

 

Then, check to see if event.entity an instance of the mob you want. If it is, add experience to the mob. Or add the XP to the player if that's what you are trying to do.

Use spoilers around your code.  Notice the "Sp" button right above.

 

In your error log, it will tell you what line of your code is offending.  Tell us that so we don't have to read the entire thing and guess.

[loawkise]

Is this what you meant...

 

Here is the line the error occurs at on its own:

 

this.xp = properties.getInteger("xp");

 

Here is the crash:

[coolboy4531]

The NBT at loadNBTData is most likely null, do some troubleshooting.

[loawkise]

Okay, got that error fixed. Now I have added...

@SubscribeEvent

public void onEntityAttacking(LivingAttackEvent event) {

 

if(event.entity instanceof EntityBlockling) {

System.out.println(xp);

...to my properties class but it isn't being called.

[Kwibble]

>.> why...

 

Well, did you register the event?

[loawkise]

Never mind I put it in the wrong class I will play around with this for a bit and will come back if I hit another problem I can't solve. Thank you all for your help

[Kwibble]

Good job and your welcome

[loawkise]

Okay I have set up the class and I believe it works, but I am wondering how I would use my getXP() method inside my EntityBlockling class's interact() method that I have.

public boolean interact(EntityPlayer par1EntityPlayer)

    {

        ItemStack itemstack = par1EntityPlayer.inventory.getCurrentItem();

 

        if (itemstack != null && itemstack.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.red_flower))

        {

            if (!par1EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode)

            {

                --itemstack.stackSize;

            }

 

            if (itemstack.stackSize <= 0)

            {

                par1EntityPlayer.inventory.setInventorySlotContents(par1EntityPlayer.inventory.currentItem, (ItemStack)null);

            }

 

            if (par1EntityPlayer.getCommandSenderName().equalsIgnoreCase(this.getOwnerName()) && !this.worldObj.isRemote)

            {

                this.aiSit.setSitting(!this.isSitting());

                this.isJumping = false;

                this.setPathToEntity((PathEntity)null);

                this.setTarget((Entity)null);

                this.setAttackTarget((EntityLivingBase)null);

                onLevelUp();

                FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().ingameGUI.getChatGUI().printChatMessage(new ChatComponentText("XP: " + Integer.toString(xp) + "/256" + " | " + "Level: " + Integer.toString(level)+ " | " + "Health: " + Float.toString(currentHealth) + "/" + this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth)));

            }

           

            if (!this.worldObj.isRemote && !this.isTamed())

            {

                if (this.rand.nextInt(3) == 0)

                {

                    this.setTamed(true);

                    this.setPathToEntity((PathEntity)null);

                    this.setAttackTarget((EntityLivingBase)null);

                    this.setOwner(par1EntityPlayer.getCommandSenderName());

                    this.playTameEffect(true);

                    this.aiSit.setSitting(!this.isSitting());

                    this.worldObj.setEntityState(this, (byte)7);

                }

                else

                {

                    this.playTameEffect(false);

                    this.worldObj.setEntityState(this, (byte)6);

                }

            }

 

            return true;

        }

 

        return super.interact(par1EntityPlayer);

    }

Anyone have any ideas?

[Alix_The_Alicorn]

Please read the second post on this topic http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1952901-172164-eventhandler-and-iextendedentityproperties/ . Can confirm the whole thing works in 1.7.10-pre4 with no changes.

[loawkise]

Thanks, I have figured it out now and I think I am all set. I have tested and it seems to work just as I wanted
