[1.7.10]Chat Messages

[BuddingDev]

I want to output some string to the chat.

I have always used Minecraft#getMinecraft()#thePlayer#sendChatMessage(Stuff) to do so.

 

But recently, after some error happened, and I got help on here, I realise that chunk of code may cause error in the Server.

So what should I do to output something onto the chat?

From where? To send message you need to just have player instance.

 

For client messages you get it from Minecraf.class, for multiplayer you need to somehow get it (player) - and how to do it depends on where you want to call method from.

[BuddingDev]

So, I found EntityPlayer#addChatComponentMessage() and EntityPlayer#addChatMessage();

 

Need help on that.

[Ernio]

Dude, learn java a LITTLE better.

 

Simply put IChatComponent as argument.

There are several different components, for simplt text you have ChatComponentText (yes, declare new).

[BuddingDev]

The main thing is that I dont know which Forge classes implements IChatComponent

Then learn to use your IDE

Ever heard about Type Hierarchy? (Tip: learn more java).

 

Besides, I literally told you exact class name.

[BuddingDev]

Yeah.... I know how to use "instanceof" know how to use "extends" know how to use"abstract"...

 

But then you just said that "for simplt text you have ChatComponentText".

Then is there any "complex" types?

[Ernio]

"I know how to write, that doesn't mean I write smart stuff."

 

Not to be mean (I am kind person) but i have no idea what:

Yeah.... I know how to use "instanceof" know how to use "extends" know how to use"abstract"...

...has anything to do with IDE and "Type Hierarchy" in means of what I was talking about.

 

There are 4 implementations of IChatComponent. Their names are pretty much self-exp and allow different formatting.

[BuddingDev]

OK, I'll try to find all these 4 classes by myself.

[Ernio]

Dude, what IDE are you using? There is no "looking" and "finding" here. You jsut click "Type Hierarchy" and you got them all listed.

 

[BuddingDev]

That image is exactly what I am using...

OK, I admit I am an noob.
