[1.8][Solved]Exploding ammo crashes the game when it hits an entity

The_Fireplace · May 11, 2015

Ok, so my ammo crashes the game when it hits an entity, but if it just hits a block, it explodes, with no issues. Here is the crash report:

Yeah, that is why I was stumped, too. Perhaps it will help figure it out that the following file for 1.7.10 worked. https://bitbucket.org/The_Fireplace/devons-random-things/src/f24522e68bb28fd2b065836a9f564eaf30e9dbc1/src/main/java/the_fireplace/devonmod/entities/EntityChargedCoal.java?at=master

Then.. Try debugging to find exactly what is null.

The crash tells you what is null! It is a NPE Ticking Entity. So the entity is null, try killing the entity after you create the explosion.

That is just a tag on the Crash when mc crashed while updating(ticking) an entity.

saxon564 · May 11, 2015

my experience while working with entities is that when you get an NPE with Ticking Entity, usually it is your entity that is null.

Oh, I didn't know that can throw NPE while ticking entity.;

saxon564 · May 11, 2015

With how I've found ticking to work, adding a method to the list of things to do seems to tick an extra time. Could just be some faulty testing, but if that is the case, then when it ticks the entity for a worldObj, it will return null because it cant find the entity so the worldObj would also be null. So even if it is talking about worldObj, it is only null because the entity is null. and because the entity is null and causing the NPE to throw, it tags Ticking Entity, if the BlockPos was null, but the entity wasnt, it should say something else. Now if I'm wrong, I'm sure one of the forum moderators will correct me, but I am speaking from all the NPEs I've has with the Ticking Entity tag.

Wait, I think you missed point, 'this' cannot be null in any time.

GC only collects the died entity only when it is not running any code.

I can't tell if what you are doing is bad or just coding style, but know one thing:

When your throwable hits something you still have entity (not yet dead).

There is no need to use mop.getBlockPos() to get the x/y/z of hit, you can simply use: this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ

That is probably your NPE, blockPos is only when thrown entity hits actual block, for entity it's different.

Following code:

onImpact() is called on both server and client.

if (mop.entityHit != null)
{
// Do stuff on entity, use its x/y/z or the direct x/y/z of throwable to make "explosions" in place hit, not the center of entity.
}
else // It's block.

EDIT:

The point is - you can't have both blockPos and Entity - mop is either one or the other.

I am basing this on code:

if (entity != null) // Entity is the one found by mop inside onUpdate()
{
movingobjectposition = new MovingObjectPosition(entity); // the original mop is overriden with one with entity in constructor
}

This is the mop with entity child-constructor - it has NO BlockPos.

public MovingObjectPosition(Entity p_i45482_1_, Vec3 p_i45482_2_)
{
        this.typeOfHit = MovingObjectPosition.MovingObjectType.ENTITY;
        this.entityHit = p_i45482_1_;
        this.hitVec = p_i45482_2_;
}

I don't know for sure, but code suggest that BlockPos is null when you hit entity
