Creating advanced (Shift + Hover) Tooltips

[gmod622]

Hey all!

 

So I want to implement tooltips that appear when you hover over with shift.

 

Is there an inbuilt function or would I have to create a event.

You would have to create and event and the easiest way to get if shift is down is to access the gui object in the Minecraft class.

In the

Item#addInformation

method, check if a

KeyBinding#isKeyDown()

. The vanilla

KeyBinding

s are located in

Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings

.

 

You probably want to wrap this in a method in your proxy, to make the dedicated server not crash.

Slight problem if I change my keybinding of sneaking to ctrl I would have to press ctrl instead of shift as the keybinding applies to different actions not individual keys.

What?

 

And only do what I said if the items are not yours, instead use the Item#addInformation(...)

Most likely in the "toolTip.add()" while the "sneak" key is not pressed it could render "Press " localized.key.name or something, would make it more dynamic

Also a localization call.

You can also make your own

KeyBinding

if you want.

KeyBindings

are

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

. If you call them from a method in the

Item class

, it still has to load the

KeyBinding

class "in case it get's called". Now that I'm back at my IDE (wasn't previously), I see that

Item#addInformation

has the

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

annotation, so you might be able to pull it off without proxies. But to be sure, I'd put it in a proxy.
