I'm trying to create a tile entity which pulls nearby entities towards it. looking at other peoples code for tile entities I put together the following class (how the class currently affects the player is just to see if it's working, [also i changed some stuff without cleaning my code to see whether it was just variables being too small for me to notice the effect])

The block class is here: http://gw.minecraftforge.net/hbiC

 

when i run the game it throws the following error:

2013-02-24 17:48:38 [sEVERE] [ForgeModLoader] A TileEntity type yagoki.mods.mtech.blocks.tile.TileEntityAttractor has throw an exception trying to write state. It will not persist. Report this to the mod author

can someone tell me how to resolve this, as I've not (as far as I can tell) done anything different to the classes I learnt form which all, supposedly, work fine.

thanks, it no longer throws the error but the update entity method isn't getting called

ok that was a bit of a derp moment, moved it there earlier without thinking to make the code look neater.

Thanks for pointing that out.
