I am not very sure how to do this, I know tileEntity does have this methods that we can overide but a living entity does not seam to have so

I want to use packets to be able to use its data for updatable information in my gui from entityLiving

Any ideas?

What method in TileEntity are u talking about? By living entity do you mean ur own custom entity, or all living entities?

@clowcadia Please explain in detail what you want to do, how everything works right now and why you think you should do what you're thinking of and how you think of doing that.

Ok so i have a livingEntity that has a stomach value, and a container with a gui. when i inset food in one of the container slots eat consumes the item and increases the stomach value. what i am trying to do is display the value in the gui as it consumes the food. the problem i ran into is that the value display does not increase in the gui unless i re-open the gui. i was able to make the gui update its value with the stomach value as static but the problem is when i reload the world that value resets to 0 where it normally stays the same due to read/write to NBT

You synchronize the value into the gui using the IContainerListener interface. You can see an example of how to use it in ContainerFurance.

 

This is because your entity doesn't save the value to NBT correctly (probably). Once you have implemented the gui-syncing using the method I described above and this is still an issue, post your full entity class.

Its only when the value is static for stomach.

static variable, and that instance isnt used i just put it there for previous testing or trying to make this work

in the container override detectAndSendChanges check if the value is not the same on the server and the client is not send a packet

 

look in ContainerFurnace how mojang does it

How exactly do I access.  When I was accessing with (basic) entity.get stomach() it would not react when I had it used as an integer added to a string

Try also overriding Container#updateProgressBar(int, int).

woohooo it works
