How do I make TileEntity play specific sound every 10 seconds? [Radio] 1.7.10

[ScottehBoeh]

I'm adding a Radio to my Vietnam Mod:

 

 

Any ideas on what code I could add to my EntityRadio class which allows me to play the sound [glow=blue,2,300]"wb:props/ratio/idle"[/glow] ?:

 

 

package net.mcheroesandgenerals.warblocks;

 

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

 

public class EntityRadio extends TileEntity {

 

 

}

 

 

 

It currently has no other code (Since it's a basic static entity)

Try looking at the jukebox.

Firstly, you should be able to get your block to do this, so you might not need a TE (for this).

 

Start your block "ticking" during placement. Set the tick period to 200 (10 seconds) and then, in the updateTick method, use world.play to initiate your sound where !world.isRemote (not remote). That may seem counter-intuitive (playing a sound on the server), but that's how the sound is communicated to all clients having players within range. Don't do anything client-side; the sound manager should get the message and do it for you (assuming your assets are in order).

 

Note: My experience is in MC 1.8, so some of the names may have changed. However, I think the basic strategy is the same.

The TileEnt might be important for other reasons, but yes, a block on its own can make sound (see also: note block).
