After a long while, I have gotten my tile entity to work just the way I want it to...

I just want to add a couple lines of text that display information about what the Tile Entity contains, such as it's current amount of "Energy" and "Energy Rate"

 

Pictures and explanations

 

 

 

Adding the power source

outcome - Current Energy is moving down at 200 per tick and placed into block on right

When Block is removed from right, Current Energy is no longer being removed

After saving and quiting - (The problem occurs)

The TileEntity still has the data inside.  I've debugged and saw that, but one of the tile Entities, (The one displaying the screen) is the incorrect one... I think, but am unsure as to how to obtain the correct one.

 

Shows it still works, but doesn't update "Current Energy" or "Energy Rate"

I Believe the problem begins with the creation of a new TileEntity

When I start up the game, I notice that the method "createNewTileEntity" is called

 

BlockKineticRelocator: -- (When activated, passes TileEntity it obtains from a location.  Somehow, it isn't correct?)

GuiKineticRelocator -- (Information here is correct until restart)

As in the last gif, it's obvious a Tile Entity has the data I'm looking for, but I'm unsure how to find it.  Everytime I use the method, "World.getTileEntity(pos)" , it returns a tileEntity but it doesn't have the correct information.  (The data I'm looking for are all 0)

 

While T300kCapsule is being charged, if I debug and set breakpoints in the tile entity that takes care of that, it shows the data correctly.

 

I know this is a lot to take in, but hopefully it's just something silly that's happening...

Thanks a bunch for anyone that helps

I had this same problem. Simply call the super for #writeToNBT, and #readFromNBT in your TileEntity class.

Unfortunately, I've already done that.

 

I probably should have included that code.  I've edited my previous post and have added it.

I believe, from looking at the furnace, you need to use the #getFields() and #setFields() for easy client to server sync. I haven't tried it, but it seems the furnace TileEntity uses it.

- You will need to sync the data that is visible in your GUI in your Container. You can look at e.g. ContainerFurnace for a vanilla example.

- Why on earth are you storing all your data in the Items list? You can have more than one top-level entry in your NBT data (like you already do with the custom name).

 

Would it be the method "detectAndSendChanges()"?

I'll try it when I get back home.

Thanks

That's the one. If it doesn't work, look up how to use the #getFields() in the ISidedInventory.

@Override
public void detectAndSendChanges() {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	super.detectAndSendChanges();

	//I Understand I need to loop through all of these for each player, just not yet
	ICrafting icrafting = (ICrafting)this.crafters.get(0);

	if(this.tileentitycharge != this.te.getField(0)){
		/**								this, id, the TileEntity variable */
		icrafting.sendProgressBarUpdate(this, 0, this.te.getField(0));
	}

	this.tileentitycharge = this.te.getField(0);
}

 

@Override
public int getField(int id) {
	switch(id){
		case(0): return this.TileEntityCharge;
	}
    return 0;
}

@Override
public void setField(int id, int value) {
	switch(id){
	case(0): this.TileEntityCharge = value; break;
	}
}

@Override
public int getFieldCount() {
    return 1;
}

 

did this, but it's still not updating the gui screen variables after restarting the game.  Have I missed something?

DERP!  Forgot to override #updateProgressBar.  Thanks everyone!
