[1.8.9] onUsingTick never called

[Daeruin]

I'm trying to create an item where if the player holds right-click on a specific block for a certain amount of time, the block spawns an item. After some searching, I figured I could use onUsingTick to achieve this. However, onUsingTick never gets called. I have a PlayerInteractEvent set up that does get called every time I right click. Is it perhaps interrupting or preventing onUsingTick? Or am I doing something else wrong?

 

@Override
public void onUsingTick(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, int tick)
{
	System.out.println("onUsingTick started!");

	MovingObjectPosition mop = this.getMovingObjectPositionFromPlayer(player.worldObj, player, true);

	if (mop != null && mop.typeOfHit == MovingObjectType.BLOCK)
	{
		World world = player.worldObj;
		BlockPos pos = mop.getBlockPos();

		if (world.getBlockState(pos) != null)
		{
			if (!world.isRemote && tick ==1)
			{
				System.out.println("onUsingTick successful!");
			}
		}
	}

}

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack itemStack, World world, EntityPlayer player)
{
	System.out.println("onItemRightClick started!");
	player.setItemInUse(itemStack, this.getMaxItemUseDuration(itemStack));
	return itemStack;
}

@Override
public int getMaxItemUseDuration(ItemStack itemStack)
{
	return 20;
}

In 1.10.2,

Item#onUsingTick

takes an

EntityLivingBase

instead of an

EntityPlayer

.

 

Also, update to 1.10.2. There's already a beta for 1.11, which will soon be the standard meaning we won't support <1.8.9 anymore.

Will do. I still have this problem either way, so additional comments are welcome.

Can't get gradle setupdecompworkspace to work. It keeps failing on recompileMc. This crap is why I hadn't tried updating yet. I have precious little free time for this little modding hobby as it is.

If

recompileMC

is failing with "GC overhead limit exceeded", you need to give Gradle more memory. Forge's documentation explains this here.

 

If it's failing with a different error, post the full output from Gradle.

gradlew -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m setupDecompWorkspace

gives 2GB to gradle

gradlew -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m setupDecompWorkspace

gives 2GB to gradle

 

Unsurprisingly, -Xmx2G does too.

I got it to work after a couple hours. It wasn't "GC overhead limit exceeded." I finally fixed it by replacing my entire gradle properties file with a fresh copy from a new download of Forge. So now begins the laborious process of updating all my code.

 

In the meantime, I still need an answer to the original question. I can't figure out why onUsingTick is never called.
