[1.8.9] Custom crafting station (Catalyzer) not working

[blahblahbal]

Hey, so I've got a new problem (I know what you're thinking, when do I not have a new problem). It's that my Catalyzer won't open when I right click it (more to the point, it opens and instantly closes again). I based it first on MinecraftByExample's TurboFurnace, but then I modified it to be more similar to ContainerWorkbench in vanilla.

 

Here's the repo:  https://github.com/blahblahbal/Blah-s-Minecraft-Mod

 

Basically what the Catalyzer does is this:

 

-Take an item (in the input slot) and check if the item is able to be catalyzed; if not, don't show anything.

-If it is catalyzable, then check if the catalyst 1 slot has sulphur in it; then check if it needs something in the catalyst 2 slot.

-If everything checks out, display the catalyzed item/block, able to be clicked on and picked up onto the mouse.

 

It's really just a crafting table, but a little different.

 

Anyone know what's going on?

 

See reply #3 for current problem.

Oh geez I'm stupid :v. Now I've got a couple other problems with it, but I'll see if I can work them out before I post the problem(s) here.

Alright, looks like I've hit a roadblock again. Currently, it allows the items to be put in the slots, but nothing appears in the result slot. I just pushed the most recent files to the github repo.

 

I have a couple ideas on what to check, so I'll keep working (I never stop) until either I find what's wrong or someone else does.

Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to make a liar out of myself. I ran out of ideas, and it still doesn't work.

 

I'm stumped again... .

 

EDIT: Sorry about the triple post; I just don't know what to do. Seems like Minecraft modding is more complex than Terraria modding.

Alright, I've made some progress, but... It's still not showing the crafting result. It's also messing up the inventory when I shift-click things. I've updated the repo to the latest version of the code I have.

 

Anyone see anything that I've missed?

[blahblahbal]

Alright... what's going on? I feel like this thread is being ignored, and by extension, I feel like I'm being ignored. I see replies coming in for other threads.

 

I won't learn by following outdated, incomplete, or irrelevant tutorials. I came here because I want to learn more about modding with Forge. I can't do that if no one will help me figure out what's wrong. I realize that it's possible that no one knows what's wrong, but I highly doubt that seeing all the intelligent people here.

 

All the tutorials I've looked at are either incomplete or too complex (by that I mean the functionality is much too fancy/complex, not the code).

 

Anyway, if anyone knows the solution or can see what's wrong with my code, please reply. Thanks.

 

P.S. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, so I apologize if I do sound that way.
