[1.7.10] [SOLVED!] Need to send a packet to update the client on the client.

[HappyKiller1O1]

I know the title is confusing but, basically I have a shop which is a GuiScreen. This GuiScreen opens when you right click the block (I have tried some things with the TileEntity to no avail). I really need to update the the coin amount or else it doesn't register. Any ideas?

Hey, are you still using a TileEntity? or just a guiscreen like a vanilla WorkBench?

And if you have tried something already, could you post some code of it?

[HappyKiller1O1]

I actually figured it out. After an hour, I found out by doing

 EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer)FMLCommonHandler.instance().getMinecraftServerInstance().getEntityWorld().getEntityByID(userID) 

I could get the EntityPlayerMP.

 

To set the user id just do:

 

int userID = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.getEntityId();

 

Sorry for the pre-mature post! Didn't realize how persistent I could be.

What.. That code would crash when you enters SMP server. There is no MinecraftServer instance in client side!

+ When you have to UPDATE something, then you should do that on the server.

      That means, you need to send packet to the server.

There's the integrated server though, which I'm not sure if it would count or not. The method is in FMLCommonHandler which I would guess means it's common between server/client, that or a stupid name for the class.

Yes but it would not work on Integrated Server.
