[1.12] [RESOLVED] Cannot bind coordinates to tile entity

[That_Martin_Guy]

I want to be able to bind a microphone to a box, then use it on a stand which has a tile entity which stores the boxes position. I can't seem to bind it to the box, though, since it always says "You have no source bound to the microphone".

Let me see if I read this correctly:

 

ItemNBTHelper.getBlockPos(usedMicrophone, "BoxPos").equals(BlockPos.ORIGIN)

 

If the microphone is brand new, then its BoxPos will be the origin, yes?

 

Ok, so I go to link it, I get the current linkage, it is to the ORIGIN, that returns (!(origin)) which is false, and I dump into the else statement:

 

player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("You have no source bound to the microphone"));

ItemNBTHelper.getBlockPos(usedMicrophone, "BoxPos")

Will always return BlockPos.ORIGIN because when you call ItemNBTHelper.setBlockPos it doesn't set a tag with the key you send it, and if you look at ItemNBTHelper.getBlockPos it checks for that key.

 

Also Draco is right what if they wanted to put it at the ORIGIN?

I don't think you can place a block at 0,0,0. Or maybe you can, but it's not very useful.

It depends on what the box does exactly. This could be used for building a map. Then again I don't know exactly what this box will do.

Why wouldn't it? It appends X, Y and Z depending on the coordinate to the key in both the setter and getter.

This line.

[That_Martin_Guy]

Appending X to the key in the if statement doesn't seem to change anything. 

[Animefan8888]

Change this to 

return itemStack.getTagCompound();

 

[That_Martin_Guy]

Why would that make a difference? That instance is the same as the itemstacks instance.

 

EDIT: It doesn't make a difference as far as I can tell, either.

0,0,0 should be bedrock in the overworld, the nether, and similar dimensions. For other dimensions (without a bedrock floor) it's possible although unlikely to be able to place a block there.

I was taking a shot in the dark...where are you appending that "X" at?

Sorry I miss the small details a lot, have you tried stepping through it with the debugger because it is not popping out at me.

[That_Martin_Guy]

I think I have found the problem, or atleast something related to the problem. onItemUse isn't called when right clicked on a quiz box. Say, what does the return of onBlockActivated do?

If it returns true it believes you did something and the onItemRighClick/onItemUse shouldn't be called.

 

Edit: It also tells the client to play the animation of the player moving their hand when true is returned.

Ah, there is the problem! I had made BlockQuizBox return true on onBlockActivated if it had a tile entity in it, which it should always have. Therefore it made it not call onItemRightClick, which in turn made it not bind the microphone to the block. Thank you!

No problem.
