Get an Entity by Id

Kloonder · September 2, 2015

So I have a problem, becuase I'm trying to save my entity reference to my Item NBT, so I can move my Entity with my Item, but I think that code says everything:

EntityArrow arrow = new EntityArrow(world);
world.spawnEntityInWorld(arrow);
System.out.println(world.getEntityByID(arrow.getEntityId()) == arrow);

It returns false

Ernio · September 2, 2015

There is actually difference between entityId and UUID.

entityID is an integer assigned to entity spawned in world - this ID is shared between client and server logical sides and is used mostly in synchronization processes. entityId is generated once per one-time-world-join and is NOT persistent.

entityUniqueId is the UUID of entity - generated once per entity existance, saved to world and loaded on entity load. It is persistent.

Edit: Note that UUID is NOT valid on client side - only server has "real" uuid that is persistent. Client generates fakes.

You need to use second one if you want persistence.

Other than for players, their UUID's seem to be correct on client.

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

It onlz semms to work on client, so how on server?

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

EntityArrow arrow = new EntityArrow(world);
world.spawnEntityInWorld(arrow);
System.out.println(world.getEntityByID(arrow.getEntityId()) == arrow);

you said it should work just fine, but I put this code into my update method, but it return null as I said

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

So I will show you anything what is necessary:

I want to remove that Entity entity.

Ok ok, I will explain you:

My iteem can take up Blocks, and put them back on the ground again

Used to check if it should place or take the block

@Override

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

It draws a block, exactly like a falling sand, so you can see where you place your block, its necessary

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

so .equals() i guess

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

Hm, I can find only world.getEntityByID(id), you may mix it up with world.getPlayerEntityByUUID(uuid)

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

has some problems, I tried this

public void takeBlock(World world, EntityPlayer player, BlockPos pos, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int id){
	ItemStack stack = player.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	EntityNotFallingBlock nfb = new EntityNotFallingBlock(world, hitX, hitY, hitZ, world.getBlockState(pos));
	nfb.theBlock = world.getBlockState(pos);
	nbt.setString("EntityID", nfb.getPersistentID().toString());
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(nfb);
	WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;
	System.out.println(server.getEntityFromUuid(UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID"))) == nfb);

That return true, which is good, but this:

Entity entity;

					//this is used to get the entity, which should replaces the Entity entity above, but it doesn't work on both client and server

					if(!world.isRemote){
						WorldServer serverWorld = (WorldServer) world;
						entity = serverWorld.getEntityFromUuid(UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID")));
						System.out.println(entity);
					}else{
						entity = findTheCorrectEntity(world, UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID")));
					}

It says the entity is null

delpi · September 3, 2015

He has been told that in several different post now.

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

So I removed that field now, It works just perfect on Server, but now I have to problem, becuase how should I get the Entity, that is only on Client

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

Hm thats a good question, I wont to have the entity also on server, so that other players can see it, but the problem is the entity is only added on server, so I have to extra add it it on the client, or is there a better way to do this?

@Override
public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, World world, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	Entity entity = null;
	if(!world.isRemote){
		WorldServer serverWorld = (WorldServer) world;
		try{
			if(nbt.getString("EntityID") != ""){
				entity = serverWorld.getEntityFromUuid(UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID")));
			}
		}catch(Exception e){

		}
		if(entity == null){
			takeBlock(world, player,  pos, hitX, hitY, hitZ, 3);
		}else{
			placeBlock(world, stack);
		}
	}else{

	}
	return true;

}

public void takeBlock(World world, EntityPlayer player, BlockPos pos, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int id){
	ItemStack stack = player.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	EntityNotFallingBlock nfb = new EntityNotFallingBlock(world, hitX, hitY, hitZ, world.getBlockState(pos));
	nfb.theBlock = world.getBlockState(pos);
	nbt.setString("EntityID", nfb.getPersistentID().toString());
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(nfb);
	WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;

	//Check if Block is chest or something like that

	if(world.getBlockState(pos).getBlock().hasTileEntity(world.getBlockState(pos))){
		TileEntity tile = world.getTileEntity(pos);
		NBTTagCompound tileData = new NBTTagCompound();
		tile.writeToNBT(tileData);
		nbt.setTag("NBTBlock", tileData);
		nfb.tileEntityData = tileData;
	}

	//Sets some stuff to nbt item, so It knows what Id block has

	nbt.setInteger("ID", Block.getIdFromBlock(world.getBlockState(pos).getBlock()));
	nbt.setBoolean("IsBlock", true);

	nbt.setInteger("EntityIDC", nfb.getEntityId());

	//Just copy of vanilla code, to save things like diorite

	Block block = nfb.fallTile != null ? nfb.fallTile.getBlock() : Blocks.air;
	ResourceLocation resourcelocation = (ResourceLocation)Block.blockRegistry.getNameForObject(block);
	nbt.setString("Block", resourcelocation == null ? "" : resourcelocation.toString());
	nbt.setByte("Data", (byte)block.getMetaFromState(nfb.fallTile));

	if (nfb.tileEntityData != null)
	{
		nbt.setTag("TileEntityData", nfb.tileEntityData);
	}
	//		entity = nfb;

	//makes block disapear

	world.setBlockToAir(pos);

Thats the code to add the entity and take the block, but it gets only called on the server, any better way to do this?

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

So with the code above, it should spawn?

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

	EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(EntityNotFallingBlock.class, modid + "EntityNOTFallingBlock", 0, this, 64, 20, true);

No properly?

The rest of the problem is in my Entity then, because it nearly never shows, and when for like 0.1 second, so it could be a problem in the class itself, or in the render, but the rendere is an exact copy of the vanilla renderer, exactly as the entity...

Kloonder · September 3, 2015

Also:

ItemStack stack = player.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	EntityNotFallingBlock nfb = new EntityNotFallingBlock(world, hitX, hitY, hitZ, world.getBlockState(pos));
	nfb.theBlock = world.getBlockState(pos);
	System.out.println(nfb.getUniqueID());
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(nfb);
	nbt.setString("EntityID", nfb.getUniqueID().toString());
	WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;
	System.out.println(server.getEntityFromUuid(UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID"))) == nfb);

This return false

It's the vanilla code dude, the not Falling Block is just not really hard to read, and the renderer is a complete copy of vanilla code, so...

and if you mean my Item code, look a bit closer, it is explained

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

I just hope for you to help me, because I'm stuck:

Sometimes this code works, sometimes not:

public void takeBlock(World world, EntityPlayer player, BlockPos pos, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int id){
	ItemStack stack = player.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	EntityNotFallingBlock nfb = new EntityNotFallingBlock(world, hitX, hitY, hitZ, world.getBlockState(pos));
	nfb.theBlock = world.getBlockState(pos);
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(nfb);
	nbt.setString("EntityID", nfb.getPersistentID().toString());
	WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;
	System.out.println(server.getEntityFromUuid(UUID.fromString(nbt.getString("EntityID"))) == nfb);

Thats the main problem right now

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

But here is the most weird thing:

@Override
public void onUpdate(ItemStack stack, World world, Entity player, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) {

	EntityArrow arrow = new EntityArrow(world, player.posX, player.posY, player.posZ);
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(arrow);
	if(!world.isRemote){
		WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;
		System.out.println(server.getEntityFromUuid(arrow.getPersistentID()) == arrow);
	}

	arrow.setDead();

Works perfectly

public void takeBlock(World world, EntityPlayer player, BlockPos pos, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int id){
	ItemStack stack = player.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
	NBTTagCompound nbt = stack.getTagCompound();
	EntityNotFallingBlock nfb = new EntityNotFallingBlock(world, hitX, hitY, hitZ, world.getBlockState(pos));
//		nfb.theBlock = world.getBlockState(pos);
	world.spawnEntityInWorld(nfb);
//		nbt.setString("EntityID", nfb.getPersistentID().toString());
	WorldServer server = (WorldServer) world;
	System.out.println(server.getEntityFromUuid(nfb.getPersistentID()) == nfb);

Doesn't work

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

Because it doen't matter where I spawn the entity, it will teleported to the position where the player is looking anyway, I can change the values to, player.posX, player.posY, player.posZ

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

Ok, it returns true now, well thats good, thanks, but that doesn't fix that my entity wont get rendered

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

wait, I never used breakpoint, let me google how to use them

Kloonder · September 5, 2015

Well I have really no idea, either you explain me, what I don't expect, or I use onEntityjoindWorld Event, what I will do right now
