Reading the text of a sign


Corbeno

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to read the text off of a sign, with no luck..

Here's what I've tried....

 

String line1 = ((TileEntitySign)world.getBlockTileEntity(player.posX,player.posY,player.posZ)).signText[0];

 

Everything is fine, except the ".getBlockTileEntity"

I'm so lost on how to actually get the method! Halp!

Did you try looking at the

World

class to find the actual method name?

 

In my fresh copy of the 1.7.10 MDK with the default mappings, the method is called

getTileEntity

.

 

Side note: Always specify the Minecraft version in the title so people know how to help you properly.

In 1.8 the method is still called

getTileEntity

, but it takes a single

BlockPos

argument rather than three

int

arguments.

So if I'm correct it would be..

 

BlockPos blockPos = new BlockPos(x,y,z);

String text = ((TileEntitySign)world.getTileEntity(blockPos)).signText[0].toString();

 

(The toString is because their incompatible types.. might not use it though..)

That will get the first line of the sign text at those coordinates, yes.

 

The

signText

array may contain

null

values, so check for

null

s before calling methods on the

IChatComponent

s.

 

The

toString

method of most

IChatComponent

implementations won't give you the text as a player would see it. Use

IChatComponent#getUnformattedText

or

IChatComponent#getFormattedText

(client-only) to get the actual text of the

IChatComponent

, either with or without formatting codes.

    • so im not sure if your still watching this TileEntity but once we loaded a FTB modpack we wanted to run on the server it no longer seems to run. The console opens like normal but we've been sitting here for like a little over an hour and the server screen has not yet opened. Should we just keep waiting at this point?
    • I have now easily fixed the duplication error present, I was just not looking.   I have been working for the past half hour to try and fix another error present, this time with the Creative Mode Tab.   I have changed some things around to get where I am currently. (ModFoods to ModDrinks*) and it cannot find the symbol ".get" at the end of the code. *The custom class you recommended pOutput.accept(ModDrinks.ORANGE_JUICE.get()); I think the point I am at currently is the closest I have to how it should be but because I am not as experienced with java I would not know.  I have also removed ORANGE_JUICE and LEMON_JUICE from the ModFoods class, to avoid confliction. I do hope all this can be fully resolved soon.  
    • [SOLVED]  public class RenderGUIHandler { @SubscribeEvent public void renderGUI(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text event){ Client.hud.draw(); } } As I was playing around a little with the code, i found out about an option to change The RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post to RenderGameOverlayEvent.Text
    • public class HUD { public Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft(); public static class ModuleComparator implements Comparator<Module>{ @Override public int compare(Module o1, Module o2) { if (Minecraft.getMinecraft().fontRendererObj.getStringWidth(o1.name) > Minecraft.getMinecraft().fontRendererObj.getStringWidth(o2.name)){ return -1; } if (Minecraft.getMinecraft().fontRendererObj.getStringWidth(o1.name) < Minecraft.getMinecraft().fontRendererObj.getStringWidth(o2.name)){ return 1; } return 0; } } public void draw(){ ScaledResolution sr = new ScaledResolution(mc); FontRenderer fr = mc.fontRendererObj; Collections.sort(Client.modules, new ModuleComparator()); GlStateManager.pushMatrix(); GlStateManager.translate(4,4,0); GlStateManager.scale(1.5,1.5,1); GlStateManager.translate(-4, -4, 0); fr.drawString("Skyline", 10, 10, -1); GlStateManager.popMatrix(); int count = 0; for (Module m : Client.modules){ if (!m.toggled || m.name.equals("TabGUI")) continue; int offset = count* (fr.FONT_HEIGHT + 6); GL11.glTranslated(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f); Gui.drawRect(sr.getScaledWidth() - fr.getStringWidth(m.name) - 10, offset, sr.getScaledWidth() - fr.getStringWidth(m.name) - 8, 6 + fr.FONT_HEIGHT + offset, -1); Gui.drawRect(sr.getScaledWidth() - fr.getStringWidth(m.name) - 8, offset, sr.getScaledWidth(), 6 + fr.FONT_HEIGHT + offset, 0x90000000); fr.drawString(m.name, sr.getScaledWidth() - fr.getStringWidth(m.name) - 4, offset + 4, -1); count++; } Client.onEvent(new EventRenderGUI()); } } I have just recently stumbled upon this Problem, where the HudRenderer renders the wrong section of the textures and therefore completely destroys the Minecraft Armour and Hunger Bar. I am currently thinking if it is an issue with the DrawRect changing something it shouldn't. But I couldn't find anything about it. (To keep things Clean, the function is Called from another file) public class RenderGUIHandler { @SubscribeEvent public void renderGUI(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post event){ Client.hud.draw(); } } Any help would be greatly appreciated
