[1.8]Portals that transports both entities AND players?

NovaViper · June 8, 2015

Hey, is it in anyway possible to make a custom portal that transports both entities and players? I started but it causes the non-player entity to be teleported to and from the dimensions rapidly, causing lots of lag and it ends up spawning multiple 'clones' of the same entity.

My code is up to date and posted on Github: https://github.com/NovaViper/ZeroQuest/tree/master/src/main/java/common/zeroquest/block/portal

Anyone know why I get that cloning whenever I put a non-player entity in my custom portal?

Take a look at the vanilla nether portal code if you haven't already. it teleports both entities and players.

NovaViper · June 9, 2015

I have, but it takes the entity to the nether portal, not to my custom dimension

June 9, 2015

if (player.timeUntilPortal > 0) {
     player.timeUntilPortal = 10;
}

This code looks suspicous. If I'm understanding it correctly you're resetting the timeUntilPortal field when it's more than zero. Also, I don't know for sure, but onEntityCollidedWithBlock might be called every tick the player is touching the block.

The code for teleporting the player works, but not for entities. And it ususally does call players, but I modified it to also call entites

Minecarts are the only vanilla entities that can travel through portal. Look them up.

NovaViper · June 9, 2015

I know that but the problem is that non player entites of ANY kind are experiencing that cloning

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

I add a cooldown time to the entities also, but that makes the cloning even worse and causes even more lag

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

I tried doing what vanilla does, it only takes me to the nether dimension, not my dimension

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

I did that already

	private void travelToDimension(Entity entity, int id) {
	if (!entity.worldObj.isRemote && !entity.isDead) {
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("changeDimension");
		MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
		int j = entity.dimension;
		WorldServer worldserver = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(j);
		WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(id);
		entity.dimension = id;

		if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
			worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(0);
			entity.dimension = 0;
		}

		entity.worldObj.removeEntity(entity);
		entity.isDead = false;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("reposition");
		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;
		minecraftserver.getConfigurationManager().transferEntityToWorld(entity, j, worldserver, worldserver1, new TeleporterNillax(worldserver1));
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endStartSection("reloading");
		Entity entity1 = EntityList.createEntityByName(EntityList.getEntityString(entity), worldserver1);

		if (entity1 != null) {
			entity1.copyDataFromOld(entity);

			if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
				BlockPos spawnPoint = worldserver1.getSpawnPoint();
				spawnPoint = entity.worldObj.getTopSolidOrLiquidBlock(spawnPoint);
				entity1.setLocationAndAngles(spawnPoint.getX(), spawnPoint.getY(), spawnPoint.getZ(), entity1.rotationYaw, entity1.rotationPitch);
			}

			worldserver1.spawnEntityInWorld(entity1);
		}

		entity.isDead = true;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		worldserver.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		worldserver1.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
	}
}

The entity teleports but it rapidly teleports, which causes the cloning and lag

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

I took it out because it caused even more lag than before I added it in

	private void travelToDimension(Entity entity, int id) {
	if (!entity.worldObj.isRemote && !entity.isDead) {
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("changeDimension");
		MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
		int j = entity.dimension;
		WorldServer worldserver = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(j);
		WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(id);
		entity.dimension = id;

		if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
			worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(0);
			entity.dimension = 0;
		}

		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;
		entity.worldObj.removeEntity(entity);
		entity.isDead = false;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("reposition");
		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;
		minecraftserver.getConfigurationManager().transferEntityToWorld(entity, j, worldserver, worldserver1, new TeleporterNillax(worldserver1));
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endStartSection("reloading");
		Entity entity1 = EntityList.createEntityByName(EntityList.getEntityString(entity), worldserver1);

		if (entity1 != null) {
			entity1.copyDataFromOld(entity);

			if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
				BlockPos spawnPoint = worldserver1.getSpawnPoint();
				spawnPoint = entity.worldObj.getTopSolidOrLiquidBlock(spawnPoint);
				entity1.setLocationAndAngles(spawnPoint.getX(), spawnPoint.getY(), spawnPoint.getZ(), entity1.rotationYaw, entity1.rotationPitch);
			}

			worldserver1.spawnEntityInWorld(entity1);
			entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;
		}

		entity.isDead = true;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		worldserver.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		worldserver1.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
	}
}

So.. I should put the cooldown where it acutally transfers the entity to the dimension, like this?

	private void travelToDimension(Entity entity, int id) {
	if (!entity.worldObj.isRemote && !entity.isDead) {
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("changeDimension");
		MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
		int j = entity.dimension;
		WorldServer worldserver = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(j);
		WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(id);
		entity.dimension = id;

		if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
			worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(0);
			entity.dimension = 0;
		}

		entity.worldObj.removeEntity(entity);
		entity.isDead = false;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("reposition");
		minecraftserver.getConfigurationManager().transferEntityToWorld(entity, j, worldserver, worldserver1, new TeleporterNillax(worldserver1));
		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endStartSection("reloading");
		Entity entity1 = EntityList.createEntityByName(EntityList.getEntityString(entity), worldserver1);

		if (entity1 != null) {
			entity1.copyDataFromOld(entity);

			if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
				BlockPos spawnPoint = worldserver1.getSpawnPoint();
				spawnPoint = entity.worldObj.getTopSolidOrLiquidBlock(spawnPoint);
				entity1.setLocationAndAngles(spawnPoint.getX(), spawnPoint.getY(), spawnPoint.getZ(), entity1.rotationYaw, entity1.rotationPitch);
			}

			worldserver1.spawnEntityInWorld(entity1);
		}

		entity.isDead = true;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		worldserver.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		worldserver1.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
	}
}

*Facepalm* Oh.. I feel stupid for not knowing

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

It works for a little bit but then it begins to lag out, which leaves the entity stuck in the portal and cloning only in the Nillax Dimension

	private void travelToDimension(Entity entity, int id) {
	if (!entity.worldObj.isRemote && !entity.isDead) {
		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;

		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("changeDimension");
		MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
		int j = entity.dimension;
		WorldServer worldserver = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(j);
		WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(id);
		entity.dimension = id;

		if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
			worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(0);
			entity.dimension = 0;
		}

		entity.worldObj.removeEntity(entity);
		entity.isDead = false;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("reposition");
		minecraftserver.getConfigurationManager().transferEntityToWorld(entity, j, worldserver, worldserver1, new TeleporterNillax(worldserver1));
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endStartSection("reloading");
		Entity entity1 = EntityList.createEntityByName(EntityList.getEntityString(entity), worldserver1);

		if (entity1 != null) {
			entity1.copyDataFromOld(entity);

			if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
				BlockPos spawnPoint = worldserver1.getSpawnPoint();
				spawnPoint = entity.worldObj.getTopSolidOrLiquidBlock(spawnPoint);
				entity1.setLocationAndAngles(spawnPoint.getX(), spawnPoint.getY(), spawnPoint.getZ(), entity1.rotationYaw, entity1.rotationPitch);
			}

			worldserver1.spawnEntityInWorld(entity1);
		}

		entity.isDead = true;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		worldserver.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		worldserver1.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
	}
}

I thought that is the cooldown. Well, where am I suppose to get the cooldown from?

NovaViper · June 10, 2015

So, use getPortalCooldown() at the end of the method?

	private void travelToDimension(Entity entity, int id) {
	if (!entity.worldObj.isRemote && !entity.isDead) {
		entity.timeUntilPortal = 10;

		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("changeDimension");
		MinecraftServer minecraftserver = MinecraftServer.getServer();
		int j = entity.dimension;
		WorldServer worldserver = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(j);
		WorldServer worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(id);
		entity.dimension = id;

		if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
			worldserver1 = minecraftserver.worldServerForDimension(0);
			entity.dimension = 0;
		}

		entity.worldObj.removeEntity(entity);
		entity.isDead = false;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.startSection("reposition");
		minecraftserver.getConfigurationManager().transferEntityToWorld(entity, j, worldserver, worldserver1, new TeleporterNillax(worldserver1));
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endStartSection("reloading");
		Entity entity1 = EntityList.createEntityByName(EntityList.getEntityString(entity), worldserver1);

		if (entity1 != null) {
			entity1.copyDataFromOld(entity);

			if (j == 1 && id == 1) {
				BlockPos spawnPoint = worldserver1.getSpawnPoint();
				spawnPoint = entity.worldObj.getTopSolidOrLiquidBlock(spawnPoint);
				entity1.setLocationAndAngles(spawnPoint.getX(), spawnPoint.getY(), spawnPoint.getZ(), entity1.rotationYaw, entity1.rotationPitch);
			}

			worldserver1.spawnEntityInWorld(entity1);
		}

		entity.isDead = true;
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		worldserver.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		worldserver1.resetUpdateEntityTick();
		entity.worldObj.theProfiler.endSection();
		entity.getPortalCooldown();
	}
}

I'm now confused now

I'm now confused now

......

You should set Entity#timeUntilPortal to Entity#getPortalCooldown() when an entity is teleported,

and only teleport the entity when the counter is smaller than 0.

Then make the counter of the colliding entity decrease.

Please learn how to construct logic..
