[1.12.2] NullPointerException caused when accessing ArrayList in a packet

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm having some trouble with the fromBytes method when I'm implementing my own packet.

 

The packet is supposed to combine two chest's inventories into one. 

 

Here's the code.

 

Specifically, my issue regards line 43 of the tutmodMessage class. I'm getting a NullPointerException when accessing the newList List, and I'm not sure why. The toBytes method works completely fine, and the HuskItem class has nothing that would clear the newlist List before the fromByte method would access it.

 

Weird part is, that line of code worked before I implemented a large part of code in the handle() method. The previous working code can be seen here. (the array of chestPos and the for loop in fromBytes should be 3 in length. I was still figuring out how I was going to clear the chest contents.) 

 

Here's the crash log as well.

 

Am I just not understanding how the implementation of iMessage works? Or is something wrong in my constructor? Am I doing the whole reading and writing from the buffer wrong? Still trying to grasp how to use custom packets. Feel free to tell me other things I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

When the packet is being reconstructed from the byte array...what is the value (and therefore its size) of itemsList?

I'll give you a hint, it's specified in the zero-argument constructor.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

I just don't know why it's null. Is there something within Java that I just don't understand here?

 

Edit: I think I got it. Trying some stuff now.
