Is there a way to stop being able to craft something after you have registered it in the game?

For example being able to upgrade something via crafting only 3 times or a number from NBT.

I want to make something like upgradeable tools and armor and this is kinda killing me right now.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply i'll read that and its per player and per item.

I should also probably mention that its a normal shaped/shapeless recipe

Wouldn't the removing written like that only remove the last recipe that was registered?

Anyway got it to craft and such but it doesn't call the function onCreated to write the NBTTag which would be useful.

Sorry if i am being kinda nooby to this

Oh you're right lol i'm stupid

Sorry dude.

 

I actually didn't remove it from the game but put it into the condition of the matches() function.

Although i cant seem to find a way to differentiate the NBTTags of the items because they're all the same itemstack and have the same category.

If i differentiate the category by using an array of strings i still need which item in a row it is which contains the category so it would be an endless loop or when another person crafts the item between your upgrading of items it would give you the wrong tag

For setting NBTTags i have this

public void onUpdate(ItemStack itemStack, World world, Entity player,int par4,boolean par5)

{

if(update)

{

sockets[NBTHelp.getInt(itemStack, "iterator")]--;

  NBTHelp.setInteger(itemStack,ModItems.sockets,sockets(i));

update = false;

}

 

update is only true if the item is crafted.

If i have it like this different swords share the same sockets variable and i'm not sure why

public void addInformation(ItemStack itemStack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean par4)

{

if (itemStack.stackTagCompound != null)

{

list.add("Number of sockets: " +

NBTHelp.getInt(itemStack,ModItems.sockets));

}

}

So do i need an array of ItemStacks?

To give each sword that's crafted a random number of sockets in which u could put gems.

So the sockets variable is the number of sockets on the sword and i need each sword to keep track of its own number.

In my case the first sword that's crafted gets a tag with the number but the rest are just modifying that number instead of having their own.

It's not hard but i don't know why each sword isn't activating the addInformation()  function and working with its number but instead modifying the first and not having the tag displayed.

EDIT: Tested a bit and it seems that the onCrafted isn't called with

GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe

 

This is the function:

public void onCrafted(ItemStack itemStack, World world, EntityPlayer player)

{

sockets = ModItems.rngint(1,3);

NBTHelp.setInteger(itemStack,ModItems.sockets,sockets);

NBTHelp.setString(itemStack,"owner", player.getDisplayName());

NBTHelp.setInteger(itemStack, "iterator", i);

i++;

if(i == 10000)

i=0;

}

EDIT 2:Wow i am a total idiot sorry for wasting your time...if you noticed I have onCrafted instead of onCreated...

Although i failed miserably thanks for the quick responses and all the help
