Hey everyone,

I am triing to create a block that, when placed, is removing itself and placing himself at pos.x 100 pos z .

Everything is working fine. Problem is that I have problems to store the information I need inside the TileEntity. I need the name of the placer stored inside the TE ( on server side client side doenst matter) , but its always storing null.

I am not sure if this is a problem with how I move the TE or sth else.

 

Block code

        @Override
public void onBlockPlacedBy(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state,
		EntityLivingBase placer, ItemStack stack) {


	if(!worldIn.isRemote && placer instanceof EntityPlayer)
	{
		worldIn.setBlockToAir(pos);
		worldIn.removeTileEntity(pos);

		pos = new BlockPos(pos.getX(), 100, pos.getZ());
		worldIn.setBlockState(pos, ShadowsRising.baseBlock.getDefaultState());
		worldIn.setTileEntity(pos, new TileEntityBase());

		TileEntityBase base = (TileEntityBase) worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

		base.setOwner(placer.getName());

		ExtendedPlayer.get((EntityPlayer) placer).setBasePos(pos);


	}
}

        @Override
public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos,
		Entity entityIn) {

	if(entityIn instanceof EntityPlayer && !worldIn.isRemote) {
		EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) entityIn;
		TileEntityBase base = (TileEntityBase) worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

		System.out.println(base.getOwner()); //null always
		if(base.getOwner()!=null && base.getOwner().equals(player.getName())) player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(23, 210));
	}
}

 

TE code

private String owner;


public void setOwner(String owner) {
	System.out.println("set: " +pos); //sanity checks
	System.out.println("set: "+worldObj.isRemote); //sanity checks
	this.owner = owner;
}

public String getOwner() {

	return owner;
}

dumb me thought if i set the blocks manually  I also need to add the TE's .

thank you I guess

never used UUID by now.. How do I store them as nbt? Can I use UUID#toString and UUID#fromString?

perfect. by the way why are there the methods getUniqueID? Both seem to return the same obj..
