[1.10.2] Understanding Capabilities

Beetle90 · December 23, 2016

Hey guys! I've been trying to understand how Capabilities work. I want to create a simple mod that displays a player's coordinates when given a command, and a player's death coordinates when given that same command with one argument. So far I've gotten the first part down perfectly. The second part has been difficult because I want to store the death coordinates into a capability and then retrieve it when the command is used.

The code in it's current state crashes completely. I've been following this tutorial as a guideline: http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/forge-tutorial-capability-system/ Hopefully someone here can help figure out what's wrong with my code. I'd love to be able to understand what's going wrong. Capabilities seem extremely useful and I'd love to be able to learn how to use them.

I know there's a lot to share below, but I can't pinpoint at what location my capability setup is incorrect. I appreciate any and all criticism that will help me improve! Here's my code:

main

package blazebeetle.mod;

import blazebeetle.capabilities.Ideathloc;
import blazebeetle.capabilities.deathHandler;

    @EventHandler
    public void serverStart(FMLServerStartingEvent event){
    	ServerCommandManager manager = (ServerCommandManager) event.getServer().getCommandManager();
    	manager.registerCommand(new coords());
    	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new deathHandler());
    }
    
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onPlayerLogsIn(PlayerLoggedInEvent event){
    	System.out.println("Logged in!!!!!!");
    	EntityPlayer player = event.player;
    	Ideathloc deathloc = player.getCapability(deathProvider.DEATHLOC_CAP, null);
    }
    
   /* @SubscribeEvent
    public void onPlayerDeath(LivingDeathEvent event){
    	System.out.println("I DIED");
    	if (event.getEntity() instanceof EntityPlayer){
    		EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer)event.getEntityLiving();
    		Ideathloc deathloc = player.getCapability(deathProvider.DEATHLOC_CAP, null);
    		deathloc.setLoc(player.getPositionVector().xCoord, player.getPositionVector().yCoord, player.getPositionVector().zCoord);
    		System.out.println("set new death loc");
    	}
    }*/

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've got it working after changing a lot of the code. I may run into more issues when I push this to multiplayer, but if anyone needs help regarding the solution, just PM me!
