Ok guys I was wondering how I could make a type of generator that makes air like a air conditioner

Air? Like Blocks.air? If so, then no, don't make a "generator" for it. If you want to create something like wind then you have to do everything yourself. There is no wind in Minecraft.

Nah air would be like the energy

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

 

Panel 2 is highly appropriate:

Do you mean the name of the energy system would be "air"?

If so:

1. This is not a good name, pick something unique.

2. PneumaticCraft has something similar involving pressurized air.

3. Why not just use an existing energy system like RF or EU?

Ok heres my idea, im implementing servers into minecraft and I need the air type power as a coolant

Servers? Like multiplayer servers? Or like computer servers? If you mean computer servers then, why?

Its all I could think of and I am getting great practice with it

First of all, what do you want the servers to do?

For now it will probably be simple storage but Ill add more advance  thing later but the first thing I want it to do is make a generator that creates the coolant and then make the server accept the "air" coolant and register that its cooled

Storage as in item/block storage like AE? If so, don't remake AE.

The Item storage is just a place filler.

So how can I make a generator make the coolant and then the server block detect if its cooled or not

"I am new"

Thanks, Sherlock.

 

You can't just go around asking people to make stuff for you. That's the point of learning Java...

Im not asking for code im just wanting someone to send me in the direction needed to learn how to do this

No one knows what you want.

Im trying to explain this as much as possible, I want to make a block that creates coolant/energy (how every you want to call it) and then make my block register if it is receiving this coolant/energy and display true or false basicly

I think I understand what you want to be able to do. And I will give you the idea how to do it but you have to implement it.

 

First step: create tileentity classes for your cooleant generator and your server and register it. I will assume that you dont want to make the cooleant an item because that is tiny bit more complex.

Second  step: create a variable called  cooleantAmount on both server tileentiy and generator tileentity and create methods getCooleantAmount to both and into the server tileentity you create method addCooleant.

Step three: on your generator tileentity's onUpdate method you want to increase the value of cooleantAmount by how much you want be generated. You also wanna check if any blocks around the generator have tileentities mathching the server tileentity and if it is call that particular server-tileentity's addCooleant-method and remove that amount from the generator's cooleantAmount

Step 4: Check in your server tileentity's onUpdate-method if you have enough cooleant and do it do what it should.

 

It wasnt so hard was it.

Good until I got to here

"You also wanna check if any blocks have tileentity mathching the server tileentity and if it is call that particular server-tileentity's addCllleant-method and remove that amount from the generator's cooleantAmount" then I got so lost

 

This is what I got so far

 

package com.linumhost.TileEntity;

import com.linumhost.Energy.IEnergyProvider;

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraftforge.common.util.ForgeDirection;

public class TileEntityAirGeneratorBlock extends TileEntity {

protected int cooleantAmount;

public int getAmount(){
	return cooleantAmount;
}

public int extractAmount(int amount){
	int postAmount = cooleantAmount;
	if(cooleantAmount < 0){
		amount = 0;
	}
	int cooleantAmount = postAmount - amount;
	if(cooleantAmount < 0){
		cooleantAmount = 0;
	}
	return cooleantAmount;
}

public void onUpdate(){
	cooleantAmount += 100;
}

}

 

package com.linumhost.TileEntity;

import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;

import com.linumhost.Energy.EnergyStorage;
import com.linumhost.Energy.IEnergyHandler;
import com.mcpixelplex.Gui.TestGui;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.util.ForgeDirection;

public class TileEntityServerCaseBlock extends TileEntity{

public static boolean isCooled = false;
public static boolean receivingAir = false;

protected int cooleantAmount;
protected int maxCooleantAmount = 10000;

public int getAmount(){
	return cooleantAmount;
}

public int getMaxAmount(){
	return maxCooleantAmount;
}

public int addCooleant(int amount){

	return cooleantAmount += amount;
}

}

I got the generator working kinda ish

Send me like a pastebin of your code or something in PM and I can help you.
