[1.8][Solved] TileEntity update not being called consistently

[ratismal]

Hello,

 

I've run into an issue that I can't seem to solve.

 

Objective: Create a block that checks if players are in creative mode. If so, set to adventure mode and give them a message related to them not being allowed in creative mode.

 

Progress: Block sets players to adventure mode almost immediately after they switch to creative, which is desirable.

 

Issue: The message is not being sent 100% of the time. Whether or not it is actually sent seems to be completely random.

The update function changes the player's gamemode consistently. If I add a debug log outside of the isRemote statement, sometimes it appears in console once and sometimes twice. I believe the issue is the function, while always getting called server side, it's not always getting called client side. I am unsure of how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to provide any more information if needed.

 

Thank you for your time,

Ratismal

You must only run the code on the server. Currently you run it (mostly) only on the client.

 

Thanks! I forgot that player.addChatMessage(...) worked server-side.

 

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why the update() function isn't consistently called client-side?

Hmm. It should, but it wasn't. I'm not sure what would cause that.

 

In any case, I'm just happy that it's working. I'll stop poking it lest it also stops
