Do you just want to display it? Or interact with it (like take things in and out)?

 

I'm not sure but I think you can make a container that combines any number of inventories. The "glue" that holds a container together is the inventorySlots List. You can make a custom Container that takes in various inventories (like another player's) and then map those to slots in the container. Then they should be available for display, and they should sync between client and server (provided you implement an IGuiHandler as well).

How would I make the game show a container with another players inv slots? And why would I need a GuiHandler?

A gui is nothing more than a screen wich displays data you put in. in order to be able to ineract with a gui, you need an regular guiHandler and Gui class. Beside that you need an container wich is linked to your Gui. (The container class containes the data and methodes to update the Gui). So in order to display an other players inventory, you'll need to get the instance of the other player in your container class, and use ot to retrieve data. Thats basicly it. Other than that, its just an regular Gui setup

Then how am I supposed to send the other player variable to the Guihandler which creates the container?

Let the server send the container contents.

Okay, you seem a bit confused. Let me try to break it down for you.

 

You want to do something custom, so you're going to have to do some work. Custom GUIs aren't hard, but there are a couple tricky points and it takes a fair bit of coding to get right.

 

If you have a GUI that shows an inventory (I mean it has slots that you can move things into and out from) then it is recommended you use a Container with IGuiHandler. A Container helps map the slots in the GUI to whatever inventory you want, and the IGuiHandler ensures everything gets synced between client and server.

 

The only thing different about your GUI is you want the inventory to be from a different player. Like we've said above, that isn't really that different -- you can simply pass that in like you would the local player's inventory.

 

But the big question is how you find the player. Are you clicking on the other player, or are you just opening this GUI at some other point? If you're clicking on the player, then you can just treat it like an Entity interaction, check that it is EntityPlayer, cast it to EntityPlayer then take the inventory. If you are not clicking on the player, please describe when you want the GUI to open so we can provide suggestions.

I get all of that, but can someone show me what to do to open the Gui and what to put in my GuiHandler because that's where I'm confused

Note:

- Server has inventories of loaded players, to load offline inventory you would need to manipulate .dat on your own.

- Client has only constructed EntityPlayers that are in visible range. Client doesn't know shit about players that are out of range, aside from player list (nicks) sent from server. Have in mind that your client won't always be able to get desired EntityPlayer's instance (well, you can go with nicks).

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall

      sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.
