Problem Creating a Gui Handler

[clowcadia]

where exactly does this go  EntityPlayer::openGui

 

and i thought containers are for inventory, if not are they important?

[clowcadia]

I like how u made Cameracraft, awsome production

[clowcadia]

Method Refference only allowed only to source level 1.8 or above 

is syntax error i get after i do this

@Override
	public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z)
	{
		if (ID == GUI)
	        EntityPlayer::openGui();
	    return null;
	}

...Honestly dont have time for that, i am modding for fun while studieng in college. Most time spend studieng books and other languages

[clowcadia]

Go this far why not just help me along for the long run maybe later Ill be answering peoples questions that sound exactly like mine or similar to save u time.

Ok I think i got what you are saying , and so i launched the game, clicked the mob and still no screen. no output other then the one i already have in eclipse.

 

code in my mob is

	@Override
	public boolean processInteract(EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand)
    {
		if (!this.world.isRemote)
		{
			System.out.println("Player has interacted with the mob");
			player.openGui(ClowcadiaMod.modInstance, 1, this.world, (int) player.posX, (int)player.posY, (int)player.posZ);
			
		}
		return true;
    }

Is there no such thing as blank screen ?...

[clowcadia]

I am learning java as we go, i dont think it will be beneficial for me to learn java basics as i am sure they are similar to any other languages, I know most basic stuff about c, c++, c#, VB, Java script

[clowcadia]

I mean by an empty gui, just a flat grey screen no buttons nothing. like a template

[clowcadia]

lol not arguing here, but yes i just want to see a gui screen and basics to me are 

var,arrays, comparing, loops, functions, I/o

[clowcadia]

Once i finish with my goal, i might as well write a tutorial. and if i keep on my roll i may even update my tutorials in the future each time forge updates. makes me wonder why ppl dont do that

[clowcadia]

I am used to coding from scratch, my programs tend to be small and short. I have projects that vary with ecommerce Etsy that works, different languages as well. Have done small projectrs with c,c++,c# and vb and i am sure i can code any program i wish, its just the dificulty with java i am in a foregn enviorment not so much as the syntax missunderstanding. if i was able to write my own program and for example actually write a method that requires resource location i would understand what it is for and such. I dont believe its the java language i am having issues with it the large forge api enviorment is whats hard for me to grasp.

ever been to a huge college/university campus or a big hospital. ever get lost?

well this is it for me i hope you can understand i am trying my best, as this is only first week in campus forge

Back to the issue, now i realize the clientGui element does not even react

 

@Override
	public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z)
	{
		System.out.println("Handler Activated");
		if (ID == GUI)
	        return new Gui();
	    return null;
	}

 

[clowcadia]

I do read code, i dont just pop up and be like write my project for me, I go through researching multiple tutorials, yes their outdate but i work with what i got, and with the forge classes. alot of it is mombojambo to me, not because i dont get the syntax i just dont understand where variables and what the variable are coming fromor representing. everything is so tightly interconnected its like, being an immigrant all over again, thousand of people speaking a different language then my own(variables) and doing things different then what i am used to (functions)

getServerGuiElement does respond....

[clowcadia]

How do I call EnityPlayer::openGui on a client exactly, which class, what function?

[clowcadia]

Nothing Happens...

Handler

package com.clowcadia.mod;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.network.IGuiHandler;

public class GuiHandler implements IGuiHandler {

	public static final int GUI = 0;
	
	@Override
	public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z)
	{
		//System.out.println("Handler Activated");
		if (ID == GUI)
	        return new Gui();
	    return null;
	}
	
	@Override
	public Object getServerGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z)
	{
	    return null;
		
	}
}

Gui

package com.clowcadia.mod;

import net.minecraft.client.gui.GuiScreen;

public class Gui extends GuiScreen 
{
	@Override
	public void drawScreen(int mouseX, int mouseY, float partialTicks) 
	{
		this.drawDefaultBackground();
	    super.drawScreen(mouseX, mouseY, partialTicks);
	}
	
	
}

Entity

package com.clowcadia.mob;

import com.clowcadia.mod.ClowcadiaMod;

import net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityMob;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumHand;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class Blank extends EntityMob{

	
	public Blank(World worldIn) {
		
		super(worldIn);
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}
	@Override
	public boolean processInteract(EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand)
    {
		if (!this.world.isRemote)
		{
			
			System.out.println("Player has interacted with the mob");
			player.openGui(ClowcadiaMod.modInstance, 0, this.world, (int) player.posX, (int)player.posY, (int)player.posZ);
			
		}
		return true;
    }
	
	

}
