I am trying to make a item be replaced with another onEntitySwing(Left Click). I looked around on the forums and online but couldn't figure it out.

Here is my current code:

@Override
    onEntitySwing() {
    	};

 

I will start with this: "Please, go learn basics of Java."

Nothing will help you if you can't even override methods.

 

 

You need to override vanilla Item.class's method:

    public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase entityLiving, ItemStack stack)
    {
        return false;
    }

 

You will want to grab 'entityLiving', check if its player (instanceof/cast), then get current held item (the stack) and set it different, new one.

playerIn.inventory.currentItem

Sorry that I don't know that much java. I really don't want to learn it because I wont need it other then for this.

I fixed the override but I don't know how to "grab 'entityLiving', check if its player (instanceof/cast), then get current held item (the stack) and set it different, new one." and idk what the code at bottem is.

You should learn basic java to do that exactly...

On a side note, does anyone know of any videos that are easy to follow that explain basic java.

Find the videos there.

playerIn.inventory.currentItem

 

What is playerIn?

 

the playerIn is the player.

the playerIn is the player.

So where do I put that code?

 

playerIn is a name Ernio assigned to EntityLivingBase.

 

Basically you want to check if EntityLivingBase is an instance of EntityPlayer. In java its a simple as this:

 

public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase theEntityYoureChecking, ItemStack theItemStackTheEntityIsHolding){
    if (theEntityYoureChecking instanceof EntityPlayer){
        //The Entity Is A Player.
    }
    return false;
}

 

If the Entity is a player, then we want to replace the item. If it is a zombie, or a chicken, we don't. So we can add an else statement.

 

public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase theEntityYoureChecking, ItemStack theItemStackTheEntityIsHolding){
    if (theEntityYoureChecking instanceof EntityPlayer){
        //The Entity Is A Player.
        return true;
    } else {
        //The Entity Is Not A Player.
        return false;
    }
}

 

Since the entity is a player, we want to get the current stack theyre holding, and then replace it with your own. You can do this by casting the Entity to EntityPlayer:

 

 
    EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) theEntityYoureChecking;
                                            
                                           ^
                               That is called "Casting"

 

 

and then getting the slot theyre currently using, like this:

 

public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase theEntityYoureChecking, ItemStack theItemStackTheEntityIsHolding){
    if (theEntityYoureChecking instanceof EntityPlayer){
        EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) theEntityYoureChecking;

        Int slot= player.inventory.currentItem;

        //The Entity Is A Player.
        return true;
    } else {
        //The Entity Is Not A Player.
        return false;
    }
}

 

To replace it with your own items, you need to create a new ItemStack() with the items you want. It is done like this:

 

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(ItemYouWantHere, AmountOfItems);

an example:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Items.egg, 5);

 

This would make a new ItemStack with 5 eggs in it. You can add that to your method.

 

 
public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase theEntityYoureChecking, ItemStack theItemStackTheEntityIsHolding){
    if (theEntityYoureChecking instanceof EntityPlayer){
        //The Entity Is A Player.

        EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) theEntityYoureChecking;

        Int slot = player.inventory.currentItem;

        ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Items.egg, 5);
        return true;
    } else {
        //The Entity Is Not A Player.
        return false;
    }
}

 

Now, it is very simple. Just replace the players current held ItemStack with the one you created. That is done like this:

 

player.inventory.setInventorySlotContents(slotToPutItIn, itemStackToPut);

 

Since we already have the slot the player is currently using, and we have out stack to put in it, we can add the final part to our method:

 

public boolean onEntitySwing(EntityLivingBase theEntityYoureChecking, ItemStack theItemStackTheEntityIsHolding){
    if (theEntityYoureChecking instanceof EntityPlayer){
        //The Entity Is A Player.

        EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) theEntityYoureChecking;

        Int slot = player.inventory.currentItem;

        ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Items.egg, 5);

        player.inventory.setInventorySlotContents(slot, stack);
        return true;
    } else {
        //The Entity Is Not A Player.
        return false;
    }
}

 

Hope I helped!

1) use System.out.println(); in various places to aid in debugging (if you type Sysout or sysout and click the ctrl and the space keys on keyboard) this is a short way of typing System.out.println();

 

3) Watch some java tutorials before posting because people always get upset if you dont have a decent understanding of JAVA - I know this from experience

5) Look at Vanilla classes figure out how they work - great way to accomplish stuff you want. If  modding in Eclipse look in ReferenceLibraries\forgeSrc to find the source code for Minecraft

 

6) in Eclipse pressing the Ctrl and the H keys together when in the Package Explorer is useful in finding stuff in your code/vanilla code

 

7) If you want to figure out how a function is called right click on it and press Ctrl + Alt + H keys together to see where it is called in code
