So i have been trying to get this working for about 2 weeks now but it just wont communicate between the TileEntity and the renderer properly

someone said i needed to use

• Setters and Getters
  
• Read and Write nbt
  
• Packeting
  

However i have no idea which one is supposed to talk to the render class or how to do it

 

[glow=red,2,300]TileEntityMast[/glow]

public class TEmast extends TileEntity {
private boolean Direction;

//---- Setters and Getters ----\\
public boolean getValue() {
    return Direction;
}
public void setValue(boolean value) {
    Direction = value;
}

//---- Read and Write ----\\
    public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt)
    {
    	nbt.setBoolean("Direction", this.Direction);
        super.writeToNBT(nbt);
        markForUpdate();
    }
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt)
    {
    	this.Direction = nbt.getBoolean("Direction");
        super.readFromNBT(nbt);
    }
    
    //---- Packets ----\\
    @Override
    public Packet getDescriptionPacket(){
    	NBTTagCompound tileTag = new NBTTagCompound();
    	this.writeToNBT(tileTag);
    	return new S35PacketUpdateTileEntity(this.xCoord,this.yCoord,this.zCoord,0,tileTag);
    }
@Override
public void onDataPacket(NetworkManager net, S35PacketUpdateTileEntity pkt)
{
	this.readFromNBT(pkt.func_148857_g());
}

//---- Mark for Update ----\\
public void markForUpdate() {
    this.worldObj.markBlockForUpdate(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
}
}

[glow=blue,2,300]RenderMast[/glow]

public class RenderMast extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer{

private static final ResourceLocation textureMast = new ResourceLocation(Ref.MODID+":"+"textures/blocks/mast.png");

private MastModel mast;

public RenderMast(){this.mast = new MastModel();}


@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileentity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {
boolean Direction = true;
        //---- this appears to be the problem ----\\
Direction = ((TEmast)tileentity.getWorldObj().getTileEntity(tileentity.xCoord, tileentity.yCoord, tileentity.zCoord)).getValue();
GL11.glPushMatrix();
	GL11.glTranslatef((float)x+0.5F,(float)y-0.5F,(float)z+0.5F);
	//GL11.glRotatef(0, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
	if(Direction==true){GL11.glRotatef(90, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);}
	if(Direction==false){GL11.glRotatef(180, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);}
	this.bindTexture(textureMast);
	this.mast.renderModel(0.0625F);
GL11.glPopMatrix();
}

}

 

If you have Skype that would be awesome live:alphafox13 (the guy from NZ)

The fuck?

 

tileentity.getWorldObj().getTileEntity

The fuck?

 

tileentity.getWorldObj().getTileEntity

 

um ok its wrong, i wouldnt be here if it wasn't, that just happened to the most recent attempt to get it working. So you gonna tell me what i should be doing, cause i really dont get it. Or u just gonna laugh at my attempts to figure it out on my own. (yes i read ur signature)

I don't know what the problem is.  Aside from the one thing I pointed out, I don't see anything.

Direction = (boolean)((TEmast) tileentity.getWorldObj().getTileEntity(tileentity.xCoord, tileentity.yCoord, tileentity.zCoord)).getValue();

well that fixed it works perfectly thanks for getting me to double check my code
