Problem Creating a Gui Handler

[diesieben07]

Just now, clowcadia said:

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

It's called GuiScreen.

[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

[diesieben07]

What's really showing is that you lack general programming basics, not Java specifically...

[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

[diesieben07]

Well, step one: Start reading code. Don't rely on tutorials or ask questions. Read the code and try to understand what it's doing. That's the only way you will get anywhere. And if you cannot understand the code, you need to look things up.

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....

But keep in mind that if you don't have a Container (what you would return from getServerGuiElement) you must call EntityPlayer::openGui on the client, not on the server.

[clowcadia]

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

[diesieben07]

Exactly like you do now. Except you leave out the check for "am I on the server?".

[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;
    }
	
	

}

I am just going to keep quoting this as long as I need to and you can keep posting the same code over and over again without changing anything.

[clowcadia]

But there is nothing on the server

[diesieben07]

Before you say that, read and understand the page about Sides (i.e. Client and Server).

[clowcadia]

Reading, and this is FORGE documentation i missing an understanding. Thank you

[clowcadia]

And i finnally udnerstand what u were saying. it was world.isRemote
