Hey, me again, probably getting annoying but I have another issue now. I am using a method...

	public boolean isEffective(ItemStack helditem, Block block) {
	if (helditem.getItem() instanceof ItemTool) {
		Set tooltypes = helditem.getItem().getToolClasses(helditem);

		Iterator<String> i = tooltypes.iterator();

		while (i.hasNext()) {
			if (block.isToolEffective(i.next(), block.getDefaultState())) {
				return true;
			}
		}
	}
	return false;
}

 

In order to easily make an adaptable way to only allow blocks to be destroyed if it is the effective tool, however this gives me a problem, my custom tool I have made a custom tool class so I need to add my own 'effectiveon' Set but no guides I can find help me with this, the only one I find says to use the following....

	public static final Set effectiveon = Sets.newHashSet(new Block[] {
	    Blocks.grass, Blocks.dirt, Blocks.sand, Blocks.gravel, 
	    Blocks.snow_layer, Blocks.farmland});

 

however this passes in blocks where check effectiveness checks strings. What shall I do here please?!

According to block.getBlock().isToolEffective(), it requires a string (and is working using strings) but any guide I have seen shows ItemTool() constructor passing in a block set, and it is not working in my method.

this is what I'm doing, I'm catching it via getDigSpeed, but I want to only affect tools that are specially made for the right blocks (e.g. effective on). but to do that I have to either... use getHavestLevel / canHarvestBlock and check through every single block I want to be effective. Or... add my own 'effective blocks' to the tool, then check isToolEffective.

 

My issue is adding effective blocks to my tool, I need to know the correct string to pass into the Set as it checks strings, but all guides I have found passes in Set<Block>, have tried this and doesn't work.

The String is "pickaxe", "axe", etc.

 

I had a look back and it turns out I am asking something that's impossible. I wanted to add a new "ToolType" and add blocks that this tool is effective against. But I think the only way to do this is change vanilla code and no way to do it using forge hooks.

 

Just encase there is please let me know? basically I want my new tool type "rake" and make some blocks effective to "shovel" and "rake"

 

PS: I really think this is impossible with forge hooks only.

That is totally possible.

 

HOW?! please help! that would be amazing if I can get them to work.

That isn't exactly what I mean. I wanted this code...

if (block.getBlock().isToolEffective(s, block)) {
				return true;
			}

To work on a custom tooltype string. This I don't think is possible.

Where do you have this code?  What's the context?

What you're doing is entirely possible, but you can't just insert random code into random places and expect it to make sense.

this is the event...

     @SubscribeEvent
public void onPlayerMineEvent(PlayerEvent.BreakSpeed event) {

	ItemStack helditem = event.entityPlayer.getCurrentEquippedItem();
	Block block = event.state.getBlock();
	IBlockState blockstate = event.state;
	event.newSpeed = -1;

	if (helditem == null) {

		if (block == Blocks.tallgrass || block == Blocks.double_plant) {
			event.newSpeed = 1f;
		}

	} else if (isEffective(helditem, blockstate)) {

		if (helditem.getItem() instanceof WoodenRake) {
			event.newSpeed = event.originalSpeed * 0.2f;
		} else {
			event.newSpeed = event.originalSpeed * 0.33f;
		}
	}
}

 

which calls this method...

	public boolean isEffective(ItemStack helditem, IBlockState block) {

	if (helditem.getItem().isItemTool(helditem)) {

		Set<String> tooltypes = helditem.getItem().getToolClasses(helditem);

		for (String s : tooltypes) {

			if (block.getBlock().isToolEffective(s, block)) {
				return true;
			}
		}
	}
	return false;
}

 

I wan't to (as all programmers should) avoid as many repeats in code as possible, and use this code to make you only able to break blocks with the correct tools only and nothing else (with a few exceptions like tall grass).

a) Forge has already written that exact code (ForgeHooks.isToolEffective).

b) If you want this to work for your custom tool class, override canHarvestBlock and getDigSpeed to ALSO include your own tool class with list of blocks, in addition to the super-calls.

 

a) I can't seem to get 'world' from playerEvent.BreakSpeed so I had to make my own to not need that parameter.

 

b) I'm still a little confused about how the classes calculate this all, it seems pickaxes are a special, other then that it calls the getHarvestTool method on the block and checks if that is ok? or something like that. it is a bit inconsistent and hard to follow but I'm learning my way through it.

Ok it seems I can't do this from 'Block.isToolEffective()'. I'll try just doing getStrVsBlock and see if it is > 1.0f
