I recently implemented CoFH's RF Api. I heard that Forge's energy capabilities are based off this api, but can it be made to take RF from other mods?

I believe the mod has to support it.. Due to the fact the API is not an capability and class conventions are also different, so capability checks on a block or item would be return false for CoFH items/blocks. Usually mods just support both, but more recently people are moving away from this API. Here is an example of supporting both, if my statements above do not make sense. 

 

if (this.storage.getEnergyStored() > 0) {
                    int received = 0;
                    boolean canTakeUp = false;
                    if (slotStack.getItem() instanceof IEnergyContainerItem) { //Checking CoFH Items
                        IEnergyContainerItem item = (IEnergyContainerItem) slotStack.getItem();
                        received = (item.receiveEnergy(slotStack, this.storage.getEnergyStored(), false));
                        canTakeUp = item.getEnergyStored(slotStack) >= item.getMaxEnergyStored(slotStack);
                    } else if (slotStack.hasCapability(CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY, null)) { //Checking Forge Energy Items
                        IEnergyStorage cap = slotStack.getCapability(CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY, null);
                        if (cap != null) {
                            received = cap.receiveEnergy(this.storage.getEnergyStored(), false);
                            canTakeUp = cap.getEnergyStored() >= cap.getMaxEnergyStored();
                        }
                    }
                }

 

But honestly, just use forges energy system.

So I was converting code over, and it's broken. My generator is burning coal but it won't generate energy now that it is converted over to capabilities. Did I do something wrong?

 

Please excuse any messy code for the moment, I will clean it up later.

In your generate method you call receiveEnergy and the second parameter is true when it should be false.

Ok. Thanks. I'll test that in the morning.

Even after fixing the simulate parameter it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Is the generate method being called?

I'm pretty sure I checked using System.out.println() statements but I'll check again.

 

Edit: Yes, generate is being called.

This only happened when I removed the RF API and replaced it with capabilities. It worked perfectly before.

Edited February 11, 20178 yr by Awesome_Spider

Is it your display not updating? Try doing this in the update function:

 

System.out.println(energyStorage.getEnergyStored());

 

And see if it increments with the energy production.

Oh. I never thought about that.

It prints 0 a bunch of times. I'll check my generating code over.

Oh! I feel stupid now! I think I put in code where you had to put water in before it will work! I forgot about that.

 

Edit: It's working now. *facepalm*

Edited February 12, 20178 yr by Awesome_Spider

So, if I wanted a tile entity to check around it for generators, I would use something like hasCapability right?

Yes

Thanks.
