[1.11] [SOLVED] Spawn particles faster than randomDisplayTick

[Kander16]

Hi,

 

I'm working on spawning particles for my block, but I need them to spawn more regulary than the method randomDisplayTick.

I tried using the TileEntity to spawn them, but then I have the problem with server side and client side (It crashes if it's on the server). How do I do this?

Have you made sure it only spawns on client? (if (world.isRemote) { spawn })

[Kander16]

I tried in the tileEntity. The particles won't spawn for some reason because "worldObj.isRemote" returns false. I don't know what this is, but only after I right-clicked on the block (and the gui opened) "worldObj.isRemote" returns true (and the particles start to spawn).

That's because the Tile-Entity only gets updated after you use it, so you need to put it in the blocks class

[Matryoshika]

Or you can just have your TileEntity call a custom method in your proxy, with the required variables.

Common Proxy: Do nothing

Client Proxy: Spawns the particle

 

This way, particles will only spawn client-side, no matter from where, when or how.

Okay, I got it working! Thanks
