Fuel Handler

[Monstrous_Apple]

Hi, I can't seem to get blocks to work, only items, does anyone know what I should do? This is my code:

 

package com.MonstrousApple.mod.handler;

 

import com.MonstrousApple.mod.blocks.MABlocks;

import com.MonstrousApple.mod.items.MAItems;

 

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.IFuelHandler;

 

public class MAFuelHandler implements IFuelHandler {

 

@Override

public int getBurnTime(ItemStack fuel) {

if(fuel.getItem() == MABlocks.CompressedCoalBlock) return 80000;

return 0;

}

}

What IDE are you using? Most should toss you an error if you attempt to compare incompatible objects like that.

I tried that and it don't work though I do have an error but I'm not sure what I'm actually doing wrong do you know the fix? And I'm usign eclipse and I was getting an error but I tried the item from block before and got an error too.

 

package com.MonstrousApple.mod.handler;

 

import com.MonstrousApple.mod.blocks.MABlocks;

import com.MonstrousApple.mod.items.MAItems;

 

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.IFuelHandler;

 

public class MAFuelHandler implements IFuelHandler {

 

@Override

public int getBurnTime(ItemStack fuel) {

if(fuel.Item.getItemFromBlock() == MABlocks.CompressedCoalBlock) return 80000;

return 0;

}

}

That's because you actually have to know what the methods are doing.

 

fuel.Item.getItemFromBlock()

I have a feeling you don't have a firm grasp of java.

 

The correct implementation is if(fuel.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(MABlocks.CompressedCoalBlock)) return 80000;

Java actually doesn't care.  There's all kinds of interfaces (

Comparable

) and subclassing that you/Forege/Mojang could be doing and aren't that would allow the two types to be compared meaningfully.  There's no way for the IDE to determine that.

[sblectric]

That's true, I suppose.

Thanks everyone it works now, and yeah I'm not the best with java but I can do most of the needed stuff.
