[1.7.10][SOLVED] Cant access EnergyStorage in a IEnergyHandler from GUI

[Raizunne]

I am trying to display a energy bar that shows the total energy I have. I have a tile entity with a IEnergyHandler implementation and I have a single EnergyStorage variable. I am trying to access it from my GUI to make the energy bar, but everytime I access it I get that the energy stored is 0, and when I check the value of the energy stored inside of the TileEntity I get that it is fully charged.

 

So in summary:

Energy that I get in the TileEntity - 25,600

Energy that I get in the GUI        -  0

One thing to note is that on a server the values you give to sendCraftingToCrafters (I think that's the method I'm not at my ide) is truncated to a short so if your max energy is over 32k you will need to find a way around that. My solution was to divide my energy value by x on the sending side and multipley it by x on the receiving side (x is the minimum value you need to get your max energy under 32k) this isn't as acurate but its close enough for my purpose

I will take that into account when making other machines! Thats a very ingenious way to do it Thanks for the advice!

 

Also, did what ContainerFurance does, but the progress bar is not updating real time, do I have to call the updateProgressBar somewhere?.
