[Solved] [1.11] Liquid Storage?

[abused_master]

Hey guys, im working on a lava generator rn and am trying to figure out liquid storage, is there a class i implement on my TileLavaGen? i know how to do everything else but its my first time working with liquids, and how to store them/use them for energy generation.

You don't implement interfaces anymore, that's why the Capability system exists.

You need a liquid handling capability, I do not know if Forge has one or not.

[loordgek]

yes forge has one. look for FluidTank

I'd personally go oldschool way using TileEntity and a float representing fluid in buckets. Like say 3.1 is 3 buckets and 10% of a bucket. Then I'd make my code logic work around that. Based on the answers above I guess that's now how is ideally done so I dunno

but then other mods cant interact w/ your things

Well I have learned something new. Thank you.

So iv done a bit of work and got it to produce power based on the power stored, but am running into a problem

my generator stores 50k rf, once full, its supposed to just store the lava thats input into it, but whats happening is the lava is disappearing and no power is being generated

Code:

Block:

@Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing heldItem, float side, float hitX, float hitY){
        if(!world.isRemote){
            TileLavaGen lavaGen = (TileLavaGen)world.getTileEntity(pos);
            ItemStack itemstack = player.getHeldItem(hand);
            Item item = itemstack.getItem();

            if(lavaGen != null && !player.isSneaking() && item != Items.LAVA_BUCKET){
                player.openGui(TechExpansion.instance, GuiHandler.GUI_LAVAGEN, world, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());
            }else if(item == Items.LAVA_BUCKET && lavaGen.lavaStored.getFluidAmount() + UtilBase.BUCKET <= 8000){
                lavaGen.lavaStored.fillInternal(new FluidStack(FluidRegistry.LAVA, UtilBase.BUCKET), true);
                player.replaceItemInInventory(player.inventory.currentItem, new ItemStack(Items.BUCKET));
            }
            return true;
        }
        return true;
    }

 

 

TileEntity:

    public EnergyStorage storage = new EnergyStorage(50000);
    public static int PRODUCE = 1000;
    public static int DRAINPERTICK = 250;
    public FluidTank lavaStored = new FluidTank(8000);

public void handleGenerating() {
            if(this.lavaStored.getFluidAmount() > 0 && storage.getEnergyStored() < 50000) {
            storage.receiveEnergy(PRODUCE, false);
            this.lavaStored.drain(DRAINPERTICK, true);
        }
    }

 

also is for my FluidTank method im specifying 8000, is 1000 = 1bucket? or is that 8000 buckets?

By the way, you should be exposing the capability via getCapability.

Which is how you should access it yourself.

As for why the lava vanishes, I don't know.  Try using the debugger.

so iv done a bit of work, and testing, it seems that it is storing it, but its only doing it on server side, so i have to relog to fix it as you can see here

how can i make it work on server side aswell so i dont need to update the client

[abused_master]

Solved, i created a packet and called on that from my TE
