Hi,

 

I have to make a custom EntityBlockFalling to allow it to do what I want it to do.

Now I've got a problem there:

 

I need access to the "private boolean canSetAsBlock;".

So how can I do this without creating my own value, because that would require to also implement the

writeNBTData and readNBTData and fall methods which I don't want because I don't need to modify there stuff

for my own falling entity.

 

My class extends from "EntityFallingBlock" and I'm using Minecraft Forge 1.9-12.16.0.1867.

 

Thx in advance.

Reflection.

What's that?

So now I'm getting an error:

My code:

Field canSetAsBlockRef = EntityFallingBlock.class.getDeclaredField("canSetAsBlock");

      if(!canSetAsBlockRef.getBoolean(this)) {
[code]

Error:

So what am I doing wrong?

setAccessible()

Ok, thx.

 

Just a small question, where do I have to put all of this code in so that my field updates when the original value switches from false to true?

 

And can I make this code even better and smoother and more performant?

    private Field canSetAsBlockField;
    private boolean canSetAsBlockRef = false;

        try {
            this.canSetAsBlockField = EntityFallingBlock.class.getDeclaredField("canSetAsBlock");
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException | SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        
        if(this.canSetAsBlockField == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        else
            this.canSetAsBlockField.setAccessible(true);
        
        try {
           this.canSetAsBlockRef =  this.canSetAsBlockField.getBoolean(this);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Thx. Now it's working.

 

Oh and I can't put it into a "final static" field becauce of the try-catch blog.

Thx. With that code its working perfectly in static and final space.
