(1.7.10) Liquid management

[EmperorZelos]

I am working on my own little simple mod, well simple for now. I have programming experience but not minecraft in great quantities.

 

I am attempting to create a block that is supposed to be fillable with water and I want it to be so that I right click on the block with a water bucket and it fills up (if there is room availiable). My issue is that I feel there oughta be some command within the minecraft code that deals with filling with fluid, I have tried looking through forge but to no avail, I might have simply missed it or am just stupid.

 

What would the command be? Is there one? If not suggestions how to implement it simply?

I don't want to be a wisenose or anything of that sort but I would like to point some things out:

 

1. Minecraft has allready got a water bucket, and no, that wasn't added in the last update.

2. Have you tried looking at the classes of the bucket and waterblocks?

3. Have you tried looking at the classes of the bucket and waterblocks? (yes I typed this twice, go look at it!)

4. It's the same for any other block actually, it's just replacing the block with air.

Most of the things were not wisenose so no worries

 

1. Minecraft has allready got a water bucket, and no, that wasn't added in the last update.

I am not interested in the waterbucket persay only that you right click WITH a waterbucket on my block, which is a boiler, and water gets added to it.

 

2. Have you tried looking at the classes of the bucket and waterblocks?

3. Have you tried looking at the classes of the bucket and waterblocks? (yes I typed this twice, go look at it!)

This is a wee bti wisenosey but I have looked about at fluids and such to the best of my ability which might not contain ALL the possibilities, I am looking into the bucket more

 

Looking around some it seems possible to use the bucket stuff but I am not too certain how to expand it

 

4. It's the same for any other block actually, it's just replacing the block with air.

I must have been unclear and I apologise, the idea is that I got a bucket of water, rightclick on my boiler and in goes the water with a bucket replacing it.

My apologies, I seems I misunderstood from my part as well.

If you want to show the water, have a look at the cauldron class, that does exactly that.

And generally it is just as simple as override the blockactived method, get the players currentitem selected in inventory and swap that item(the waterbucket) with a bucket.

To right my wrong, let me give you that little piece of code:

 

	 /**
     * Called upon block activation (right click on the block.)
     */
    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World parWorld, int parXCoordinate, int parYCoordinate, int parZCoordinate, EntityPlayer parPlayer, int par6, float par7, float par8, float par9)
    {
    	parPlayer.inventory.setInventorySlotContents(parPlayer.inventory.currentItem, new ItemStack(Item.bucketEmpty, 1));
        return false;
    }

 

This should do the job.
