[1.11] Counting Mobs.

[Lambda]

Hey there!

 

So I'm having an issue with returning a value of mobs nearby, however, I cannot seem to access the size of the list...

 

Here is the code for the TE:

    @Override
    public void updateEntity() {
        super.updateEntity();
        if(!world.isRemote) {
            if (true) { //todo change to work.
                this.entityMobs = world.getEntitiesWithinAABB(EntityMob.class, new AxisAlignedBB(this.getPos().getX() - 3, this.getPos().getY() - 3, this.getPos().getZ() - 3, this.getPos().getX() + 3, this.getPos().getY() + 3, this.getPos().getZ() + 3));
                if (entityMobs != null && entityMobs.size() != 0) {
                    for (EntityMob entityMob : entityMobs) {
                        if (entityMob.getHealth() <= 1f) {
                            storage.receiveEnergyInternal(PRODUCE_PER_MOB, false);
                            this.markDirty();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public int getMonstersNear() {
        if(this.world != null) {
            if(this.entityMobs != null) {
                if(this.entityMobs.size() != 0) {
                    return this.entityMobs.size();
                }
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }

 

And storing the list globally via:

    public List<EntityMob> entityMobs;

 

And the code accessing the TE:

    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void displayHud(Minecraft minecraft, EntityPlayer player, ItemStack stack, RayTraceResult posHit, ScaledResolution resolution){
        TileEntity tile = minecraft.world.getTileEntity(posHit.getBlockPos());
        if(tile instanceof TileEntityBlockMobGen){
            String strg;
            if(((TileEntityBlockMobGen) tile).getMonstersNear() == 0) {
                strg = StringUtil.localize("info."+ModUtil.MOD_ID+".noMobs");
            }else {
                strg = StringUtil.localize("info."+ModUtil.MOD_ID+".mobAmount") + ": " + ((TileEntityBlockMobGen) tile).getMonstersNear();
            }
            minecraft.fontRendererObj.drawStringWithShadow(TextFormatting.YELLOW+""+TextFormatting.ITALIC+strg, resolution.getScaledWidth()/2+35, resolution.getScaledHeight()/2-15, StringUtil.DECIMAL_COLOR_WHITE);
        }
    }

*which is in the block code*

 

Thanks,

Wait I actually didnt explain whats happening eh?

 

Well the HUD thats trying to access it seems to not return the correct size of the list.. as in it always returns 0.

No duh. You only count the mobs server side:

if(!world.isRemote)

 

Which means that client side, the array is null.

[Lambda]

Ah, so I cant really access it via displayHud..

 

Well I guess I, scrap that.

 

[loordgek]

send a packet

[Lambda]

Yeah I could do that Will try..

Packet? if you're counting with a GUI or HUD you can get the Player object, from there the World from the Player, from there count nearby entities. Even if it's a TE you should be able to get that info if you pass it in the constructor. All entities should be duplicated to the clients so counting them should be easy either side
