[1.10.2] Open Book GUI

Posted November 30, 20168 yr

I'm trying to make a lectern so players can place a book in it and open its GUI when right click the block. But unfortunately the GUI doesn't show up when the player right click the block. This is the block code i'm using

package com.mineworld.blocks.decorations;

import com.mineworld.core.MWTabs;
import com.mineworld.tileentity.decorations.TileEntityLectern;
import com.mineworld.tileentity.decorations.TileEntityWeaponRack;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockHorizontal;
import net.minecraft.block.ITileEntityProvider;
import net.minecraft.block.SoundType;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty;
import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockStateContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemSword;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemWrittenBook;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumHand;
import net.minecraft.util.Mirror;
import net.minecraft.util.Rotation;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class BlockLectern extends BlockHorizontal implements ITileEntityProvider {

public BlockLectern() {
	super(Material.WOOD);
	this.setHardness(2.0F);
	this.setSoundType(SoundType.WOOD);
	this.setCreativeTab(MWTabs.tabDecorations);
	this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
}

public IBlockState withRotation(IBlockState state, Rotation rot) {
	return state.withProperty(FACING, rot.rotate((EnumFacing) state.getValue(FACING)));
}

/**
 * Returns the blockstate with the given mirror of the passed blockstate. If
 * inapplicable, returns the passed blockstate.
 */
public IBlockState withMirror(IBlockState state, Mirror mirrorIn) {
	return state.withRotation(mirrorIn.toRotation((EnumFacing) state.getValue(FACING)));
}

/**
 * Called by ItemBlocks just before a block is actually set in the world, to
 * allow for adjustments to the IBlockstate
 */
public IBlockState onBlockPlaced(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ,
		int meta, EntityLivingBase placer) {
	return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing());
}

/**
 * Convert the given metadata into a BlockState for this Block
 */
public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
	return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.getHorizontal(meta));
}

/**
 * Convert the BlockState into the correct metadata value
 */
public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) {
	return ((EnumFacing) state.getValue(FACING)).getHorizontalIndex();
}

protected BlockStateContainer createBlockState() {
	return new BlockStateContainer(this, new IProperty[] { FACING });
}

@Override
public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) {
	return false;
}

@Override
public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state) {
	return false;
}

@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {
	return new TileEntityLectern();
}

@Override
public boolean onBlockActivated(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer playerIn,
		EnumHand hand, ItemStack heldItem, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
	if (!worldIn.isRemote) {
		TileEntity te = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
		if (te instanceof TileEntityLectern) {
			TileEntityLectern wr = (TileEntityLectern) te;
			if (heldItem != null && heldItem.getItem() != null && heldItem.getItem() instanceof ItemWrittenBook) {
				if (wr.addItem(heldItem)) {
					playerIn.inventory.removeStackFromSlot(playerIn.inventory.currentItem);
					return true;
				}
			}
			if(playerIn.isSneaking())
				wr.removeItem();
			else {
				if(wr.item != null) {
					playerIn.openBook(wr.item, hand);
				}
			}

		}
	}
	return true;
}

public void breakBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state) {
	TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

	if (tileentity instanceof TileEntityLectern) {
		((TileEntityLectern) tileentity).removeItem();
	}

	super.breakBlock(worldIn, pos, state);
}

}

I'm sure the book is correctly saved into the tile entity because i can remove the book from the block if i shift-click it. So why the GUI doesn't open?

Don't blame me if i always ask for your help. I just want to learn to be better

By the way you don't need both of these checks:

heldItem != null && heldItem.getItem() != null

The first one is sufficient, you will never have a non-null item stack of a null item.

Also, don't use ITileentityProvider, you should override the hasTileEntity and getTileEntity methods that are present in the Block class (which have a different signature).

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

Wops, ok so now the block class extends blocks and uses the Block.class methods for the tile entity

package com.mineworld.blocks.decorations;

	super(Material.WOOD);
	this.setHardness(2.0F);
	this.setSoundType(SoundType.WOOD);
	this.setCreativeTab(MWTabs.tabDecorations);
	this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
}

public IBlockState withRotation(IBlockState state, Rotation rot) {
	return state.withProperty(FACING, rot.rotate((EnumFacing) state.getValue(FACING)));
}

/**

	return state.withRotation(mirrorIn.toRotation((EnumFacing) state.getValue(FACING)));
}

/**

 */
public IBlockState onBlockPlaced(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ,
		int meta, EntityLivingBase placer) {
	return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing());
}

/**

}

	return false;
}

@Override

	return false;
}

@Override
public boolean hasTileEntity(IBlockState state) {
	return true;
}

@Override
public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
	return new TileEntityLectern();
}


@Override
public boolean onBlockActivated(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer playerIn,

				if (wr.addItem(heldItem)) {
					playerIn.inventory.removeStackFromSlot(playerIn.inventory.currentItem);
					return true;
				}
			}
			if(playerIn.isSneaking())
				wr.removeItem();
			else {
				if(wr.item != null) {
					playerIn.openBook(wr.item, hand);
				}
			}

		}
	}
	return true;
}

public void breakBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state) {
	TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

	if (tileentity instanceof TileEntityLectern) {
		((TileEntityLectern) tileentity).removeItem();
	}

	super.breakBlock(worldIn, pos, state);
}

}

But the behavior is not changed, i can still put a book in it, get it back if i shift click but if i right click it won't open the book gui of the book stored in it (wich i assume is correctly stored since i can get it back)

Don't blame me if i always ask for your help. I just want to learn to be better

The ITileEntityProvider thing was not actually related to your problem, it was getting your class to use the more up to date method of having a TE.

My only suggestion is to use your debugger to step through your code and see what is not being called and why.

So debugging looks like client side the game check if the book is a writable book (not a written one) and so the GUI doesn't show up. By adding this

Minecraft.getMinecraft().displayGuiScreen(new GuiScreenBook(playerIn, wr.item, false));

to the block code i can now show the GUI. But i'm confused on why the client check for a writable book if that code is called from the ItemWrittenBook

Don't blame me if i always ask for your help. I just want to learn to be better

Yea i was actually coming back to mention that. I thought it was with tnt minecarts and I did use the OSC mk4. Although the OSC mk6 spreadsheet is different and keeps glitching. Also you don't have to get mad I simply thought you gave up on it.

If you want it on a free server us FALIXNODES instead of aternos because aternos requires like 10k downloads before they think of adding it falix lets you add whatever
