I'm just trying to make a single object post text in chat on the client side only. So basically I want to have my mod "Item" to post "Hello World!" in the players chat window when I right click. I've tried a ton of tutorials for using "EvenHandlers" or "onItemRightClick" and I've no clue how to get them to work. 

public class ItemFoxTail extends Item 
{
	public ItemFoxTail() 
	{
		setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.MISC);
		setUnlocalizedName(Reference.FoxTech_Items.FOX_TAIL.getUnlocalizedName());
		setRegistryName(Reference.FoxTech_Items.FOX_TAIL.getRegistryName());
		setMaxStackSize(1);
	}
	
		
}

That's the basics of my item I have at the moment.
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack itemStack, World world, EntityPlayer player)

^ is what I was trying to use but kept getting errors in Eclipse.

Cause I can

It looks like you are trying to override a method outside of the correct scope (correct word?). It should be inside the class, but outside of the constructor.

 

Also, use your IDE to override methods. It will automatically use the correct method signature.

I figured it out by doing some more research!

Only thing I need to figure out now is out to get it to execute on Client Side only. So it doesn't pop up twice in chat.

worldIn.isRemote, is the best you can do there.

You can't use the Minecraft class inside common code, use the EntityPlayer parameter or else your mod will crash the server.

I figured it out what I ended up doing is using this code.
 

@Override
	public ActionResult onItemRightClick(World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand handIn)
	{
		if (worldIn.isRemote)
		{
			Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendChatMessage("Hello fellow Foxes!!");
		}
		//Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendChatMessage("Hello fellow Foxes!!");
		return new ActionResult(EnumActionResult.PASS, playerIn.getHeldItem(handIn));
	}		

 

This will still crash the server you need to you use the player given to you in the parameters

This will make the code run on the client only. But that will still crash the server as it still tries to load the Minecraft class on the server side. Using the EntityPlayer parameter will fix this.

So what specific part would I need to change?

Instead of Minecraft.getMinecraft().player, use playerIn.

Ok I see how that works but I receive another error.

I feel like there's something I need to add in...

I'm only posting images with errors, so anyone trying to help knows where the problem persists.

ok.......anyways...

So when I change 

playerIn.sendMessage("Hello fellow Foxes!!")

into 

playerIn.sendMessage(ITextComponent);

the error on sendMessage goes away but now ITextComponent has a error.

Well I'm taking a break for now, not being able to figure this out is annoying me and I got work tomorrow, night for now.

@Override
	public ActionResult onItemRightClick(World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand handIn)
	{
		if (worldIn.isRemote)
		{
			playerIn.sendMessage(new ITextComponent("HELLO!"));
		}
		return new ActionResult(EnumActionResult.PASS, playerIn.getHeldItem(handIn));
	}

"Cannot instantiate the type ITextComponent" Why is this a topic I seem to not be able to find online anywhere

I found another topic with chat messages I implemented this

playerIn.sendMessage(new TextComponentTranslation("Hello", new Object[0]));

Which works perfectly for what I want it to do but I can't run a server still.

Please stop posting replies if you're no help.

I'm using that because for some reason I can't get ITextComponent to work, probably cause I'm not well informed on the subject. I can't find any explanation or examples.

For the server part. When I run a server from Eclipse it won't launch. I can run a Client fine and have the mod work just how I need it.

What exactly happens? Nothing? Does it crash? If so, post the log.

It starts the server window, I see it running like a normal server for a few seconds, then it crashes. CrashLog

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.matthewrivas.foxtech.ServerProxy

Sounds obvious to me. It can't find your ServerProxy, did you check your spelling in @SidedProxy?

Edited February 7, 20178 yr by larsgerrits

Yup it's spelled correctly.

@SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS, serverSide = Reference.SERVER_PROXY_CLASS)
	public static CommonProxy proxy;

 

public static final String CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS = "com.matthewrivas.foxtech.proxy.ClientProxy";
	public static final String SERVER_PROXY_CLASS = "com.matthewrivas.foxtech.ServerProxy";

public static final String CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS = "com.matthewrivas.foxtech.proxy.ClientProxy";
public static final String SERVER_PROXY_CLASS = "com.matthewrivas.foxtech.ServerProxy";

Your ClientProxy is inside the proxy package and ServerProxy not? Your variable should be the same as the package declaration of the ServerrProxy. 

Edited February 7, 20178 yr by larsgerrits

This is everything on my server proxy class.

package com.matthewrivas.foxtech.proxy;

public class ServerProxy implements CommonProxy
{

	@Override
	public void init() {}

}

 

package com.matthewrivas.foxtech.proxy;

So your ServerProxy does exist in the proxy package? That also put it inside the String you pass into the @SidedProxy.

Edited February 7, 20178 yr by larsgerrits

Yes, its in the proxy package and its also in the string.
