Server-Client sync package notify

[zedblade]

Hello everyone,

 

I made a mod than replace a block with another own block, by right-clicking on it, with the follow function:

 

 

 

 

var1World.setBlockWithNotify(x, y, z, mymod.myblockID);

 

 

 

 

This work fine in SSP but in SMP the block seems replaced but when I reload the chunk or I right-click the block, this return back to the previous block. as if nothing had happened.

 

Now i know than i need to send to the server a custom package to notify the changes, and i've made the ServerPacketHandler class:

 

 

 

package mymod;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.IPacketHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.Player;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.network.INetworkManager;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.network.packet.Packet250CustomPayload;

 

public class ServerPacketHandler implements IPacketHandler

{

    public void onPacketData(INetworkManager var1, Packet250CustomPayload var2, Player var3)

    {

        if (var2.channel.equals("MyMod"))

        {

            this.handlePacket(var2, (EntityPlayer)var3);

        }

    }

 

    private void handlePacket(Packet250CustomPayload var1, EntityPlayer var2)

    {

        String var3 = (new String(var1.data)).trim();

       

        if (var2.getCurrentEquippedItem() != null)

        {

            ItemStack var4 = var2.getCurrentEquippedItem();

        }

    }

}

 

 

 

And i initialized it in main mod class declaration network section:

 

 

 

@NetworkMod(

clientSideRequired = true,

serverSideRequired = false,

channels = {"MyMod"},

packetHandler = ServerPacketHandler.class

)

 

 

 

Now i dont know what i must put into ServerPacketHandler or into right-click event to notify the replaced block to the server.

 

Plese any suggestions ...

var1World.setBlockWithNotify(x, y, z, mymod.myblockID);

to

var1World.setBlockId(x, y, z, mymod.myblockID);

 

[zedblade]

Yes, i tried but unfortunately the problem happen also in SSP (client side). 

 

Also I tried using this:

 

MinecraftServer mcServer =  MinecraftServer.getServer();

mcServer.worldServerForDimension(player.dimension).setBlockWithNotify(X, Y, Z, mymod.mymod.blockID);

or

mcServer.worldServerForDimension(player.dimension).setBlock(X, Y, Z, mymod.mymod.blockID);

 

but mc give me "java.lang.NullPointerException". I dont know why ...

          }

        }

        super.randomDisplayTick(var1, var2, var3, var4, var5);

    }

   

}

 

 

 

[zedblade]

oh god, i put it in randomDisplayTick because previously it was in GUIscreen button (cliente side only too).

 

In fact the boolean mymod.ReplaceBlock = true when pressed OK button from a GUI ...

 

Now I really dont know where i can put that code. :'(

 

any suggestion?

[zedblade]

seems cant run updatetick function:

            mymod.ReplaceBlock = false;

            }

          }

    }

   

}

 

 

 

also I added setRequiresSelfNotify as in wheat (you mean BlockCorp, right?) but wont work.

if (player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItemName().equals("item.My Block"))

it's not best practice to use strings to identify items, use IDs.

 

         if (par1World.isRemote)
          {
            if (mymod.ReplaceBlock)
            {
               par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, mymod.myblockID);
               
               mymod.ReplaceBlock = false;
            }
          }

so, your block-replacing code is supposed to run only on client? also take a look at mymod.ReplaceBlock if it does really what you wanted. if it's only set here then it means that only once after mod initialization (if its default value is true) one block changes ~ only 1 block after launching minecraft will be affected.

No, the block-replacing code should run both client & server. the mymod.ReplaceBlock = true everytime the player press OK  on a GUI mask

bump

[zedblade]

You don't change blocks on the client. Only change them on the server, it will then tell the client. That how it works If you want a button to trigger a block change, you need to send a custom packet (There is a tutorial on the wiki) that tells the server when the button is pressed and then make the block change. Only on the server.

 

Yes, but i cant found a specific tutorial to do it. (If you have one can you show me?)

on wiki i found very roughly guide line to handle the packet.

on wiki i found very roughly guide line to handle the packet.

 

there's quite large topic about custom packets - http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Packet_Handling

yes i know but i really need a specific example to how tell to server when the button is pressed and then make the block change
