[1.7.10] Multipart pipes (TileEntity problem)


TheEpicTekkit

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

 

So I have started modding again, and I have run into a problem with multiparts.

 

I am working on a cable, and have decided to make it a multipart, mainly because I want to have each connection of the cable have a separate bounding box, but also because I want functionality such as disabling a connection by clicking with a certain tool, and it also allows for the cable to easily be hidden.

 

The problem I have is that the original tileentity of the cable is deleted when a multipart is added, and the cable's tileentity is replaced with a TMultipart. A side effect of this is also that the cable doesn't render anymore, and I know this is because the TESR cant find the tileentity. How should I transfer the data of the original tileentity to the new one, and make the TESR recognize the TMultipart?

 

I have found plenty of tutorials on multiparts, but none of them explain how to convert a tileentity to a multipart.

 

Any help here would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

I ask complicated questions, and apparently like to write really long detailed posts. But I also help others when I can.

You have to render your cable in one of the rendering methods for a

TMultiPart

. See the

'Rendering'

section: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,22503.0.html (by Busti)

 

For transfering over data from the

TileEntity

to the

TMultiPart

, I suggest you look at this:

Okay, I have seen both of these before, and neither really helped.

 

For the rendering one, I don't understand scala very well, and I don't intend to do any scala code where I can do java.

 

For the transfering the tileentity data post by Whov, I found it hard to understand, and unclear.

You don't need to write it in Scale. I have a implementation of the tutorial in Java here: https://github.com/Larsg310/FMP-Tutorial.
