Hello, I have created a new dimension and I want to use an item to go to it on right click. I have done some work on trying to accomplish this, but on right click it seems to go to the nether. Please help and thanks in advanced.

 

Here is my code so far:

 

        @Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) {
	if(par1ItemStack.getItemDamage() == 4) {
		if(par3EntityPlayer.dimension != MysticRealm.dimensionID) {
			par3EntityPlayer.travelToDimension(MysticRealm.dimensionID);
		} else {
			par3EntityPlayer.travelToDimension(0);
		}
	}
	return par1ItemStack;
}

 

you could try this for dimension change:

MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(par3EntityPlayer, MysticRealm.dimensionID);

you could try this for dimension change:

MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(par3EntityPlayer, MysticRealm.dimensionID);

 

I don't think that would work since par3EntityPlayer is not EntityPlayerMP as in transferPlayerToDimension(EntityPlayerMP par1, int dimesnionid).

if you do it only on a server side, it should work (after casting it of course).

onItemRightClick does not contain a method for EntityPlayerMP

he did tell you to cast the variable to EntityPlayerMP...

do that also be sure to check it before doing so to prevent crashes etc.

 

if you don't know what we are talking about I suggest you read up on type casting and java programming

I know what you're talking about and I'm going to try it then post my results.

Well, I updated the method to be server side and it still sends me to the nether instead of my dimension.

Here is my updated code:

 

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) {
	if(par1ItemStack.getItemDamage() == 4) {
		if(par3EntityPlayer.ridingEntity == null && par3EntityPlayer.riddenByEntity == null && par3EntityPlayer instanceof EntityPlayerMP) {
			if(par3EntityPlayer.dimension != MysticRealm.dimensionID) {
				MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension((EntityPlayerMP)par3EntityPlayer, MysticRealm.dimensionID);
				--par1ItemStack.stackSize;
			} else {
				MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension((EntityPlayerMP)par3EntityPlayer, 0);
				--par1ItemStack.stackSize;
			}
		}
	}
	return par1ItemStack;
}

 

Please show us the code where you create your dimensionID.

 

Here it is

public static int dimensionID = DimensionManager.getNextFreeDimId();

Have you tried a System.out.println to see what your dimensionID actually is? This seems very strange to me.

I've debugged with eclipse and the dimensionID is 2.

I am kinda clueless then...

You and I both.

i do it differently then you maybe try this

EntityPlayerMP thePlayer = (EntityPlayerMP) par3EntityPlayer;
                                if (par3EntityPlayer.dimension != MysticRealms.dimensionID)
                                {
                                        thePlayer.mcServer.getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(thePlayer, MysticRealms.dimensionID , new YourTeleporter(thePlayer.mcServer.worldServerForDimension(MysticRealms.dimensionID)));
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        thePlayer.mcServer.getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(thePlayer, 0, new YourTeleporter(thePlayer.mcServer.worldServerForDimension(0)));
                                }

EntityPlayerMP thePlayer = (EntityPlayerMP) par3EntityPlayer;
                                if (par3EntityPlayer.dimension != MysticRealms.dimensionID)

                                        thePlayer.mcServer.getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(thePlayer, MysticRealms.dimensionID , new YourTeleporter(thePlayer.mcServer.worldServerForDimension(MysticRealms.dimensionID)));
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        thePlayer.mcServer.getConfigurationManager().transferPlayerToDimension(thePlayer, 0, new YourTeleporter(thePlayer.mcServer.worldServerForDimension(0)));
                                }

Thanks! It's not really the approach I wanted to take, but it works and I can handle not getting my way once
