[1.10.2] Custom TileEntity class writeToNBT

[Messorix]

I have a small problem with the following code

	@Override
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound parentNBTTagCompound)
{
	super.writeToNBT(parentNBTTagCompound);

	NBTTagList dataForAllSlots = new NBTTagList();

	for (int i = 0; i < this.itemStacks.length; i++)
	{
		if (this.itemStacks[i] != null)
		{
			NBTTagCompound dataForThisSlot = new NBTTagCompound();
			dataForThisSlot.setByte("Slot", (byte)i);
			this.itemStacks[i].writeToNBT(dataForThisSlot);
			dataForAllSlots.appendTag(dataForThisSlot);
		}
	}

	parentNBTTagCompound.setTag("Items", dataForAllSlots);
	parentNBTTagCompound.setShort("ProcessTime", processTime);
	parentNBTTagCompound.setTag("BurnTimeRemaining", new NBTTagIntArray(burnTimeRemaining));
	parentNBTTagCompound.setTag("BurnTimeInitial", new NBTTagIntArray(burnTimeInitial));
}

 

Apparently TileEntity.writeToNBT has a returntype of the type NBTTagCompound.

 

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

They changed the methods return type instead of void it's NBTTagCompound.

I understood that part, but I have no clue what compound I should return...

[Animefan8888]

The one that was passed in.

That sounds like a loop to me, but it did fix the error so.... we'll see

It is weird, but I think it may have something to do with this

1. Creates a new NBTTagCompound

2. The new NBTTagCompound is equal to tileEntity.writeToNBT(the new NBTTagCompound)

3. NBTTagCompound is saved to disk.

I think that is how it works and don't know why they changed it. Diesieben or someone if you know why they changed it and/or how it works feel free to post or pm me about it.
