TileEntity on client

[CreativeMD]

Hi,

 

I make a block, which needs a TileEntity to render in the right way.

But the client doesn't get the TileEntity from the server,

is there a method to send the TileEntity to the client?

 

I need the TileEntity for the right textures and the right model.

When you doesn't get my problem, i can send you my source code.

there IS a TileEntity on the client, always. Your problem is just that the TE from the client doesn't update its data from the server TE. You have to handle with packets to do this. FYI The TE has its own methods for dealing with packets. There's no need to do this with your Packet Handler.

So,

How can I fix that problem?

 

By the way i have some problems with shortcuts, what does "FYI" mean?

Simply look at the code for the TileEntity, especially look for the methods "onDataPacket" (also available in TileEntitySign) and "getDescriptionPacket".

Make sure you send a packet of type Packet132TileEntityData in "onDataPacket".

 

And "FYI" means "For your information"

Thannnnnnnnnnks Thanks a lot.

I am so happy it has worked out.

 

My Code for topic viewer

public void onDataPacket(INetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData pkt)
    {
	this.blockMetadata = pkt.customParam1.getInteger("Metadata");
	this.direction =  pkt.customParam1.getByte("direction");
    }

 public Packet getDescriptionPacket()
    {
	 	NBTTagCompound par1NBTTagCompound = new NBTTagCompound();
	 	par1NBTTagCompound.setByte("direction", this.direction);
	 	par1NBTTagCompound.setInteger("Metadata", this.blockMetadata);
       	return new Packet132TileEntityData(this.xCoord, this.yCoord, this.zCoord, 0, par1NBTTagCompound);
    }
