[1.7.10] Can't pickup spawned item.

Posted June 2, 201510 yr

I have a custom item that gets summoned into the world as an EntityItem with a bunch of lightning when a key is pressed. That works, but when the item is spawned I can't pick it up. Here is my summoning code:

EntityItem item = new EntityItem(player.worldObj, player.posX, player.posY - 1, player.posZ - 4, new ItemStack(Lumina.lumicon));
            
player.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(item);

Why is this happening?

Are you spawning it on the client side or the server side?

Quote

June 2, 201510 yr

I dunno. What should I be summoning it on? I didn't specify in my code.

Quote

June 2, 201510 yr

Now that I think of it, I think it's on client side, I'm using a key binding to spawn it and if I'm correct key bindings are on client side.

Quote

June 2, 201510 yr

Yea, if you spawn it on the client side it will just be a ghost item. You need to send a packet to the server and spawn it there.

Quote

June 2, 201510 yr

I have no experience with packets. How do I do that?

Dont forget about thread safety

Ok, and how would I use that to fix the ghost item?

Quote

June 2, 201510 yr

your problem right now is that u are spawning the item on the client side. which is wrong because it needs to be on the server side. so if the key is pressed send a packet to the server which tells him to spawn an item at a desired location (you should transmit the location via the packet..)

Example:

I use this to send a string to the server from the client:

This example is not thread safe and might kill a server. Just so you know.

Both that code and this thread are for 1.7.10, in which the network was still on the main thread.

@TheRealMcrafter - if you're going to verbatim copy / paste code from a tutorial (you didn't even remove my comments!), it's considerate of you to write a note in the code saying where you got it from, i.e. giving credit where credit is due.

That might be why the explosion didn't work either. I had lightning strikes then an explosion then the item spawned. That's how I coded it. The explosion worked, but when I jumped in to collect the item, my player started shaking like it does when the block looks like it's not there but it actually was. So the same thing with server and client side goes for explosions, right?

I'm away from my code right now, I'll try to figure out packets in the morning.

Oh dammit you are right, Im sorry

Ok, I've been messing with packets and I got this when I clicked the key:

Here is my code:

Main class:

public static SimpleNetworkWrapper network;

@EventHandler
    public void preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
network = NetworkRegistry.INSTANCE.newSimpleChannel("Lumina|Channel");
}

@EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
network.registerMessage(LumiconSpawnPacket.Handler.class, LumiconSpawnPacket.class, 0, Side.SERVER);
}

The packet class:

public class LumiconSpawnPacket implements IMessage {
    double posX;
    double posY;
    double posZ;

    public LumiconSpawnPacket(double posX, double posY, double posZ){
        this.posX = posX;
        this.posY = posY;
        this.posZ = posZ;
    }

    @Override
    public void fromBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
        this.posX = buf.readDouble();
        this.posY = buf.readDouble();
        this.posZ = buf.readDouble();
    }

    @Override
    public void toBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
        buf.writeDouble(posX);
        buf.writeDouble(posY);
        buf.writeDouble(posZ);
    }

    public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<LumiconSpawnPacket, IMessage> {
        @Override
        public IMessage onMessage(LumiconSpawnPacket message, MessageContext ctx) {
            EntityPlayer player = ctx.getServerHandler().playerEntity;
            Lumina.log.info(Lumina.LOGPREFIX + " LuminaSpawnPacket recieved, player " + player + " has attempted to summon a lumicon. Spawning...");
            try {
                PlayerUtil.startPlayer(player);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }
    }
}

My input handler:

public class InputHandler {
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onKeyInput(InputEvent.KeyInputEvent event) {
        if(KeyBindings.start.isPressed()){
            EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;

If you need more code just ask.

Looking at the crash log it's a DecoderException, I have no idea what that means.

Thanks, it works now, but the lightning I'm summoning (for effect) is burning the item , but I suppose that's my problem.

Woops, my bad. Your tutorials are the best, credit given

Yea i was actually coming back to mention that. I thought it was with tnt minecarts and I did use the OSC mk4. Although the OSC mk6 spreadsheet is different and keeps glitching. Also you don't have to get mad I simply thought you gave up on it.

Bro are we serious IM WORKING ON MAKING IT AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE

If you want it on a free server us FALIXNODES instead of aternos because aternos requires like 10k downloads before they think of adding it falix lets you add whatever

Also if you ever used the REAL ORBITAL CANNON stab shots are made of tnt not carts dummy
