Connecting two Blocks

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

Im trying to connect on Block with another by rightclicking on them with an item. that item stores the last clicked tileentity and sets the connected field in the second clicked tileentity as the first tileentity. Im wondering if im doing it right:

 

 

package itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.items;

 

import itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.blocks.electrisity.BlockPowerLine;

import itsamysterious.mods.reallifemod.core.blocks.tiles.TileEntity_PowerLine;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos;

import net.minecraft.util.ChatComponentText;

import net.minecraft.util.EnumChatFormatting;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

 

public class ItemCable extends Item{

private TileEntity_PowerLine lastTile;

 

public ItemCable() {

setUnlocalizedName("ItemCable");

GameRegistry.registerItem(this, getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

 

@Override

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer player) {

BlockPos pos = Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver.getBlockPos();

if(world.getBlockState(pos).getBlock() instanceof BlockPowerLine){

TileEntity_PowerLine toConnectTile = (TileEntity_PowerLine) world.getTileEntity(pos);

if(lastTile!=null){

lastTile.connected=toConnectTile;

System.out.println("Connected to " + toConnectTile.getPos().toString());

this.lastTile=toConnectTile;

lastTile.connected=null;

}

else{

player.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText("Now in "+EnumChatFormatting.GREEN+"Connection Mode"+EnumChatFormatting.RESET+"To stop connecting, hold SHIFT+RIGHTCLICK! "));

this.lastTile = toConnectTile;

}

 

}else

{

this.lastTile=null;

}

return stack;

}

}

dont save the lastclicked inside the item. u need to use nbt for that, bc everything inside the item class is shared for all items.

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

Oh okay how to do that?

[Failender]

u could save the x,y,z position of the te in the nbt and then get the te if u need it via world.getTileEntity

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

SOlved it, storing it in ClientProxy temporarily now

[Failender]

thats a terrible idea to be honest. ClientProxy is for Client Stuff, checking which TE's are to get connected should be a decision made on server side, so u cant hack.

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

So in CommonProxy?

[Failender]

you can do a save in the CommonProxy or use IExtendedPlayerProperties

[ItsAMysteriousYT]

I think im doing the commonproxy stuff

instead of the line where you have this.lastTile = toConnect you would use this:

NBTTagCompound nbt = (stack.hasTagCompound()) ? stack.getTagCompound() : new NBTTagCompound();
nbt.setIntegerArray("lastTile",new int[]{toConnectTile.xCoord, toConnectTile.yCoord, toConnectTile.zCoord};
stack.setTagCompound(nbt);

 

when you need to get the last tile entity:

int[] position = stack.getTagCompound().getIntegerArray("lastTile");
TileEntity lastTE = MinecraftServer.getServer().getWorld().getTileEntityAt(position[0], position[1], position[2]);

I might have some of the method names wrong because I don't have an IDE right now, but you should be doing something like this, but you will want to add in some more checks to make sure you only use applicable TE's.
