Im trying to create a furnace with 2 inputs, 2 outputs, and 1 fuel that will smelt both items at the same time and I cant figure out the update method to get this to work. I can get one slot or the other to smelt but not at the same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Heres my Tile

and this is how i have my slots setup

 

this.addSlotToContainer(new Slot(furnaceInventory, 0, 70, 21));

this.addSlotToContainer(new Slot(furnaceInventory, 1, 70, 48));

     

this.addSlotToContainer(new SlotFurnaceFuel(furnaceInventory, 2, 14, 53));

       

this.addSlotToContainer(new SlotFurnaceOutput(playerInventory.player, furnaceInventory, 3, 132, 35));

this.addSlotToContainer(new SlotFurnaceOutput(playerInventory.player, furnaceInventory, 4, 132, 55));

Your slot setup is irrelevant to making the recipe work.

What is your goal here, are both inputs required (copper ore + tin ore -> bronze)? Or are you making a "double furnace" where you've got two separate inputs that smelt to their respective outputs (iron ore -> iron bars, twice)?

I'm wanting to make a Double Furnace that runs in parallel not an Alloy Smelter and I put the slot set up there that way ppl could see what slot numbers I was using just in case Iv got a slot number out of place

So, what you'll need to do is check if slot 0 or slot 1 is smeltable, and that the output can go to slot 3 or 4 (respectively).  If either is valid, start burning fuel.

 

You'll also need two timers.

Thats what i did i have 2 canSmelts and 2 smeltItems one for each input output iv also got 2 cookTimes thats why i think my prob is in my update method

 

public void update() {

        boolean flag = this.isBurning();

        boolean flag1 = false;

 

        if (this.isBurning()) {

            --this.furnaceBurnTime;

        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote) {

            if (this.isBurning() || this.furnaceItemStacks[2] != null && this.furnaceItemStacks[1] != null) {

                if (!this.isBurning() && this.canSmelt1()) {

                    this.furnaceBurnTime = getItemBurnTime(this.furnaceItemStacks[2]);

                    this.currentItemBurnTime = this.furnaceBurnTime;

 

                    if (this.isBurning()) {

                        flag1 = true;

 

                        if (this.furnaceItemStacks[2] != null) {

                            --this.furnaceItemStacks[2].stackSize;

 

                            if (this.furnaceItemStacks[2].stackSize == 0) {

                                this.furnaceItemStacks[2] = furnaceItemStacks[2].getItem()

                                        .getContainerItem(furnaceItemStacks[2]);

                            }

                        this.smeltItem2();

                        flag1 = true;

                    }

                    this.furnaceBurnTime = getItemBurnTime(this.furnaceItemStacks[2]);

                    this.currentItemBurnTime = this.furnaceBurnTime;

                                this.furnaceItemStacks[2] = furnaceItemStacks[1].getItem()

                                        .getContainerItem(furnaceItemStacks[2]);

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

                    if (this.cookTime2 == this.totalCookTime) {

                        this.cookTime2 = 0;

                        this.totalCookTime = this.getCookTime(this.furnaceItemStacks[1]);

                        this.smeltItem2();

                        flag1 = true;

                    }

                } else {

                    this.cookTime2 = 0;

                }

            }

 

            else if (!this.isBurning() && this.cookTime > 0) {

                this.cookTime = MathHelper.clamp_int(this.cookTime - 2, 0, this.totalCookTime);

            } else if (!this.isBurning() && this.cookTime2 > 0) {

                this.cookTime2 = MathHelper.clamp_int(this.cookTime2 - 2, 0, this.totalCookTime);

            }

 

            if (flag != this.isBurning()) {

                flag1 = true;

                BlockFurnace.setState(this.isBurning(), this.worldObj, this.pos);

            }

        if (flag1) {

            this.markDirty();

        }

    }

You have this check (twice, even):

if (this.isBurning() || this.furnaceItemStacks[2] != null && this.furnaceItemStacks[1] != null)

 

Double check that for yourself and make sure that it's doing what you want.

(Hint: its not)

Thanks that got me looking a a few things first I didnt set cookTime2 which meant I needed another isBurning to account for cookTime2 because you cant have a || inside of a bool so I redid the update and Im still having no luck

and yes Iv tried merging them into || statements and Iv also changed around the order as well.

This cant be all that hard the  Grey Ghost did it sequentially so there has to be a way to do it in parallel.

Please Help someone has to know how to do this

2 questions: do you understand and know what each line in your code does? If not, do you at least know Java?

Im no expert but yes to both, but  thats why Im asking for help like I said I have reworked this code every which way I can. The posted codes are by no means all that I have done, and so far i have been able to get ether one slot or the other to smelt but not the other, or both slots smelt together but only if you have items in both input slots, and more but those werent even close. So right now I know Im missing something simple because Iv gotten close I just cant figure out why.
