Posted May 30, 20169 yr So for my airship mod I want to add comprehensive controls so one can fly them realistically. I have all the feedback-loops and math worked out, I just need a way for the player to input flight information. That said, how can I add sliders and number boxes to a GUI? Also if possible is there a way I can program a custom virtual joystick using the mouse? (Shameless Mod Plug: ) EDIT: This GUI is for a TileEntity on the Airship, not the Airship entity itself "you seem to be THE best modder I've seen imo." ~spynathan ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ

May 30, 20169 yr Ye sure, remind me what version are you on? Few hints: * Extend GuiScreen. * Open gui client side (unless you need container). * There are alredy few things implemented, outside IDE so mind naming, but they are there in vanilla/forge: GuiSlider and GuiTextField/Box. * You can replicate them / extend to your needs or maybe they are enough, as to GuiTextField/Box - you can track input and check if those are numbers and stuff. * For all inputs you will need to send packets to server (obviously). For a control system I'd make one key-value relation packet (in your case also dimension I guess). * As to stick - yup, there is GuiScreen#handleMouseInput() which should be a good place to track mouse movement. Hell you can even do that in drawScreen, etc. * Note: If you are planning to send mouse (stick) packets - do it from updateScreen() (I think) method (which is tick-based, not FPS) and send mouse every 3-5 ticks. Namings may be off a bit but that should put you on track (you are skilled). Props on mod 1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.
