Hello guys,

 

Im still trying to understand on how you make a custom GUI inventory for a custom Entity. I searched online and found and made it to work. The problem is that I can't seem to make the Entity store the items that it picks up into the custom Inventory GUI. I have tested on the Entity and it is working only to see the GUI Inventory and storing items to it but not storing picked up items.

 

Heres my Entity class:

 

 

package minecraft.FirstPlugin.entities;

 

import minecraft.FirstPlugin.FirstMod;

import minecraft.FirstPlugin.Ref;

import minecraft.FirstPlugin.Inventory.FBInventory;

import net.minecraft.entity.SharedMonsterAttributes;

import net.minecraft.entity.ai.EntityAIHarvestFarmland;

import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityMob;

import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityVillager;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.inventory.IInventory;

import net.minecraft.inventory.InventoryBasic;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;

import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagList;

import net.minecraft.util.DamageSource;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class FarmingBot extends EntityVillager

{

public FBInventory gear;

 

public FarmingBot(World worldIn)

{

super(worldIn);

 

this.setupGear();

this.setSize(0.6F, 1.8F);

 

this.tasks.addTask(1, new EntityAIHarvestFarmland(this, 0.6D));

 

this.setCanPickUpLoot(true);

}

 

public boolean isAIEnable()

{

return true;

}

 

protected void applyEntityAttributes()

{

super.applyEntityAttributes();

 

this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.maxHealth).setBaseValue(20.0D);

this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.movementSpeed).setBaseValue(0.35D);

this.getEntityAttribute(SharedMonsterAttributes.knockbackResistance).setBaseValue(0.2D);

}

 

@Override

    public boolean interact(EntityPlayer player)

{

        super.interact(player);

       

        //if(!player.worldObj.isRemote)

        player.openGui(Ref.MOD_ID, 5, this.worldObj, this.getEntityId(), 0, 0); //we will use x coord for sending entityId

       

        return true;

    }

 

    public void onInventoryChanged(InventoryBasic inv) {}

 

public int howManySlots()

{

        return 8;

    }

 

    private void setupGear()

    {

        FBInventory gear1 = this.gear;

        this.gear = new FBInventory("FBInventory", howManySlots());

        this.gear.setCustomName(gear.getName());

 

        if (gear1 != null)

        {

            //gear1.func_110132_b(this);

            int i = Math.min(gear1.getSizeInventory(), this.gear.getSizeInventory());

 

            for (int j = 0; j < i; ++j)

            {

                ItemStack itemstack = gear1.getStackInSlot(j);

 

                if (itemstack != null)

                {

                    this.gear.setInventorySlotContents(j, itemstack.copy());

                }

            }

 

            gear1 = null;

        }

 

        //this.gear.func_110134_a(this);

    }

 

    public void onDeath(DamageSource ds)

    {

        super.onDeath(ds);

        if (gear != null && !this.worldObj.isRemote) {

            for (int i = 0; i < gear.getSizeInventory(); ++i) {

                ItemStack itemstack = gear.getStackInSlot(i);

 

                if (itemstack != null) {

                    this.entityDropItem(itemstack, 0.0F);

                }

            }

            if (itemstack != null) {

                NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound1 = new NBTTagCompound();

                nbttagcompound1.setByte("Slot", (byte) i);

                itemstack.writeToNBT(nbttagcompound1);

                nbttaglist.appendTag(nbttagcompound1);

            }

            com.setTag("Items", nbttaglist);

        }

    }

 

 

    public void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound com) {

            NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound1 = nbttaglist.getCompoundTagAt(i);

            int j = nbttagcompound1.getByte("Slot") & 255;

            if (j >= 0 && j < this.gear.getSizeInventory()) {

}

 

 

Most of the tutorials on custom inventory GUI are setup for creating a 'new' inventory.  Are you sure when you used the tutorial you changed over the the entities inventory instead of a new custom one?

I think that the tutorial is just for creating a new inventory. How do i change over the entities inventory instead?

 

Im on 1.8.

Ok i managed to solved it. I spent hours learning Inventories in the EntityVillager.class and found out these method links the custom inventory:

 

public boolean func_175556_cs()

    {

        for (int i = 0; i < this.gear.getSizeInventory(); ++i)

        {

            ItemStack itemstack = this.gear.getStackInSlot(i);

 

            if (itemstack != null && (itemstack.getItem() == Items.wheat_seeds || itemstack.getItem() == Items.potato || itemstack.getItem() == Items.carrot))

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

 

        return false;

    }

   

    protected void func_175445_a(EntityItem p_175445_1_)

    {

        ItemStack itemstack = p_175445_1_.getEntityItem();

        Item item = itemstack.getItem();

 

        if (this.func_175558_a(item))

        {

            ItemStack itemstack1 = this.gear.func_174894_a(itemstack);

 

            if (itemstack1 == null)

            {

                p_175445_1_.setDead();

            }

            else

            {

                itemstack.stackSize = itemstack1.stackSize;

            }

        }

    }

 

    private boolean func_175558_a(Item p_175558_1_)

    {

        return p_175558_1_ == Items.bread || p_175558_1_ == Items.potato || p_175558_1_ == Items.carrot || p_175558_1_ == Items.wheat || p_175558_1_ == Items.wheat_seeds;

    }

   

    public InventoryBasic func_175551_co()

    {

        return this.gear;

    }

 

 

Cheers
