Hi! I'm using Redstone Flux API to make my blocks (TileEntities) store some energy! Everything worked fine here!

 

But, I'm having some problems... If I have 2 or more blocks placed (they can be far away for each other) they share the same energy, even if they aren't charging... Imagine that I have 3 blocks placed, the X, the Y and the Z... Y and Z are far away from the X... I open the GUI of the 3 of them and the energy is 0... But, if I charge the X, all three blocks start to have energy... The energy is shared , but the GUI don't...

 

I have this in the TileEntity: public static EnergyStorage energyStorage = new EnergyStorage(1000000);

With this, I thought I could separate each block with is own energystorage and not share with others... But that's what's happening... If I'm charging one block, the others are charged too :\

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

João Fernandes

Hint of the day : Learn java!

You are right on that, my bad! But now, it doesn't charge!

    /* =================================== IEnergyHandler =================================== */
    /* ====================================================================================== */

    @Override
    public int receiveEnergy(ForgeDirection from, int maxReceive, boolean simulate) {
        return energyStorage.receiveEnergy(maxReceive, simulate);
    }

    @Override
    public int extractEnergy(ForgeDirection from, int maxExtract, boolean simulate) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public int getEnergyStored(ForgeDirection from) {
        return energyStorage.getEnergyStored();
    }

    @Override
    public int getMaxEnergyStored(ForgeDirection from) {
        return energyStorage.getMaxEnergyStored();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canConnectEnergy(ForgeDirection from) {
        return true;
    }

 

I know I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what is it...

Never worked with RF API but i will give it a try.

Show whole code, code taken out of context wont help any1

But this is the only code that matters... I implemented IEnergyHandler and implemented those methods... I created an EnergyStorage on my TileEntity and then, the receiveEnergy() method should work if energy is received...

What are you using to charge the blocks?

Forestry Engines... When I had the static in the EnergyStorage, it charged... But now, it doesn't charge...

aaaaah i got it. u arent syncing the values between client and server, which isnt an issue when it was static, because client and server was in the same machine. but now the values arent static, so u need to manually sync the values between client and server side if u want to display them, which means that u will need to use packets

 

EDIT: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=20135.0

I'll do that

I'll comment the results later thanks!

I'm having trouble passing the messages... I implemented the classes correctly, but I don't know how to send the energy through the network...

 

Should I do Mod.network.sendToServer(message)?

i just realized that there are better ways to do that, sorry.

Whenever you open a guicontainer u already got a pipeline to send informations, so no need to use packets, my bad.

u should take a look how the furnace is syncing the values, should be GuiFurnace there is some stuff about updating the variables

I saw the GuiFurnace and I opened the Container... There are some things diferent, and that might be the case of this not working...

 

public class CentrifugeContainer extends Container {
    private CentrifugeTileEntity machine;

    public CentrifugeContainer(InventoryPlayer inventoryPlayer, CentrifugeTileEntity centrifugeTileEntity) {
        this.machine = centrifugeTileEntity;

        for(int i = 0; i < 9; ++i){
            addSlotToContainer(new Slot(inventoryPlayer, i, 20 + 18*i, 107));
        }

        for(int i = 0; i < 3; ++i){
            for(int j = 0; j < 9; ++j){
                addSlotToContainer(new Slot(inventoryPlayer, j + i*9 + 9, 20 + 18*j, 49 + i*18));
            }
        }

        addSlotToContainer(new Slot(machine, 0, 20, 18));

        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 1, 56, );
        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 2, 75, );
        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 3, 94, );

        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 4, 56, 27));
        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 5, 75, 27));
        addSlotToContainer(new SlotZero(machine, 6, 94, 27));

        addSlotToContainer(new Slot(machine, 7, 164, );
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canInteractWith(EntityPlayer player) {
        return machine.isUseableByPlayer(player);
    }

    @Override
    public ItemStack transferStackInSlot(EntityPlayer player, int i) {
        return null;
    }
}

I am not sure and got no IDE by hands so I need to guess out of my mind.. it SHOULD be something like detectChangesAndUpdate.

Also important should be sth like addCraftingToCrafters

I'll try to do that! I'll use ContainerFurnace as my guide! Thanks

It worked ^^

Using detectAndSendChanges(), I could retrieve the energy and pass it to the interface! Thanks

I am glad to help Sorry for the wrong information with the packets tho :'D

No worries ^^ I never actually learn well how to work with the packets, but I tryed to!

 

Thanks
