[1.8] Override EntityFishHook

[badner]

Hi,

 

how can I override, or extend EntityFishHook.class and use the new Class instead of the old? If im extending the EntityFishHook.class how can I register it? Should it looks like this:

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(NewEntityFishHook.class, ... I dont know ...);

 

Thank you

You shouldn't need to replace it. FishingHooks.java provides many helper functions to add and remove fish, junk, and treasure.

I am trying to "extend" the vanilla entity, which means that all methods and so on are the same, and do the same. But some methods are able to do additional things e.g. showing information on gui, if a fish "is coming".

 

I dont want add/remove fish, junk and treasure.

[badner]

I want this: So you are trying to replace the vanilla entity?  And thats the answer of your question. -Yes

I tried this: Or make your own that is similar?

 

But whats the difference between replacing the vanilla entity and make an own that is similar?

 

 

[badner]

Tricky or imposible?

 

Can I create my own NewEntityFishHook.class and override the vanilla with this?

 

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(NewEntityFishHook.class, ... ,I dont know, ...);

Registering the entity doesn't magically make the ItemFishingRod class spawn it when used.

 

And that bit you don't know?  It's either strings or ints, which are largely irrelevant.  Meaning you can put fuckanything in and it'll work.  But it still doesn't magically make the Fishing rod use the new lure.

You can't do this without a class transformer.

Why not use the EntityJoinWorldEvent? Just cancel it and spawn your own fishing hook.

- Make sure to check if the entity is the vanilla fishing hook by checking if the class of the entity (

entity#getClass()

) is equal to the EntityFishingHook class (

EntityFishingHook#class

)

- cancel the event to prevent spawning the original

- apply every value from the vanilla entity to yours (motion, position, etc.)

- spawn your custom entity

 

But why do you need to replace the hook entirely? Does the FishingHooks.java not suffice? What do you want to do with it?

Oh, didn't see that one. So yeah, the EntityJoinWorldEvent should be used to replace it then.

The problem with this is that you won't be able to reel the fish hook back in.

[badner]

Why not use the EntityJoinWorldEvent? Just cancel it and spawn your own fishing hook.

- Make sure to check if the entity is the vanilla fishing hook by checking if the class of the entity (entity#getClass()) is equal to the EntityFishingHook class (EntityFishingHook#class)

- cancel the event to prevent spawning the original

- apply every value from the vanilla entity to yours (motion, position, etc.)

- spawn your custom entity

 

According to your post, I added this method to the Eventhandler class:

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void fishJoinEvent(EntityJoinWorldEvent event){
if(event.getClass().equals(EntityFishHook.class)){
	System.out.println("here it is!");
}
}

 

Unfortunately nothing happend...

 

What are the next steps? How can I spawn my own entity?

 

I also tried to use this:

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityFishHook.class, new RenderFish(Need a Rendermanager));

 

In this case I should able to create a custom RenderFish. Can I get the information which I need in RenderFish?

 

 

[badner]

In the main class of my mod:

 

(head of the class)

MyEventHandler handler = new MyEventHandler();

 

and then in:

 

@EventHandler
public void preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent preevent){

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(handler);
//some code here
}

 

The Eventhandler is working, because my other SubscribeEvents like RenderGameOverlayEvent or ClientChatReceivedEvent are working.

[badner]

Ups... -->  event.entity.getClass() 

 

[23:44:13] [server thread/INFO] [sTDOUT]: [MyEventHandler:fishJoinEvent:22]: its a fishing hook

[23:44:13] [Client thread/INFO] [sTDOUT]: [MyEventHandler:fishJoinEvent:22]: its a fishing hook

 

My Code must only work on clientside, how can i reach this?

 

What are the next steps to:

- cancel the event to prevent spawning the original

- apply every value from the vanilla entity to yours (motion, position, etc.)

- spawn your custom entity

Since this is client-only I assume you want to display something (as you told few posts before). What exacly do you want to do with what data that should be in your customHook?

 

EntityFishHook is an Entity, that means you can use IExtendedEntityProperties to store additional info. To render ANY kind of stuff that would be inside either EntityFishHook or IEEP you can use RenderWorldLastEvent to find hook in world and even render labels with info above it. You can also use RenderGameOverlayEvent to add custom info on your game screen when fishEntity field in player is not null.

 

Possibilities = endless.

Also - yes, this can be done for client-only, as long as you won't be keeping any data that should be shared with server.

 

Now what exacly is that you want?

[Anon10W1z]

But the fishing properties are on the server side. Use packets.

Sorry if I screwed up again.
