[1.9.4] Adding a tooltip to an area of a gui

[Legoboy0109]

I've been working on making a mod that adds in its own energy system called Redston Energy, and I was trying to figure out how to add a tooltip that show how much energy is stored like in Thermal Expansion, when your mouse is hovered over the energy storage bar.

 

Thanks,

Override addInformation(...) in your items class.

Which class? If I'm trying to add it to the gui, why would I add it to the items class?

The GuiContainer calls addInformation(...) to add information to a List then takes said list and displays it as the tooltip of the item.

Animefan, please read the question....

 

Legoboy, look at

GuiScreen::drawHoveringText

.

...Im sorry once i read tooltip i immediately  thought oh he is talking about items and proceeded to answer without getting to the most crucial part.

When I did this, I did it with a custom button.

Might not've been the best solution, but it worked.
