Sound plays in singleplayer but not on servers, code: 

package *****;

@Mod(modid = Main.MOD_ID, name = Main.NAME, version = Main.VERSION)
public class Main {
	public static final String MOD_ID = "zillexcm";
	public static final String NAME = "*****";
	public static final String VERSION = "0.1";
	public String msg;

	public static CommonProxy proxy;
	
    @Mod.EventHandler
	
	public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
    	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
	}
    

    
    
    @SubscribeEvent
    
    public void onDeath(LivingDeathEvent event) {
    	
    	if(event.entity instanceof EntityPlayer) {
    		
    		if(!event.entity.isEntityAlive()) {
    			
                //UUID uid = UUID.fromString("74a1dcea-1946-45a9-a373-5f1b211f4d07");
    			
    			//if(!event.entity.getUniqueID().equals(uid)) {
    				Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.playSound("zillexcm:sounds.jigglypuff", 5.0F, 1.0F);
    			//}
	
    			// MY's UUID: 74a1dcea-1946-45a9-a373-5f1b211f4d07


    }
    }
    }

}

note: Please help with the UUID as well the mod for some reason only works when it doesn't use it, which is why it is commented out. Also: ***** is hidden for a specific person, its their name.

You are reaching across logical sides. You must use the player provided with the event to play the sound. See the documentation on playing sounds to find the correct method to use.

okay thanks, but about the uuid thing?

How are you testing this? Are you building your mod and testing it in the actual game? If not, are you logged in in your development environment?

testing it by exporting/running in eclipse also can you please tell me where I'm doing the reaching across logical sides error, this is my first mod and I'm more familiar with the bukkit api than the forge one, thanks  edit: no I'm not logged in in my dev environment

That event is fired on the server. Minecraft.getMinecraft() is client-side-only.

I KNEW IT! continues to wonder what the serverside one is, and the uuid problem

 

Edit: I tried this but didn't work  

event.entity.playSound("zillexcm:sounds.jigglypuff", 5.0F, 1.0F);

Sound on the other hand, is also a client side effect. Dollars to doughnuts, that playSound method forwards off to somewhere that does nothing.

so, how do I play a sound while on a server? is there a separate method?

How does the server tell the client anything?

 

Parakeets.

Packets.

but, I've seen mods that work on servers but use playSound?

Edit: also thanks for not getting mad at my noob questions lol 

Edit 2: I'd like to note that the mod actually did work on one server

As a summary, you are reaching across logical sides

Packets, like aforementioned, will do the work. You must send a packet to tell the client that it needs to play a sound (using EntityPlayerMP).

For more information about packets, click HERE.

 

However, there is a server-side friendly method to play a sound (which I use all the time instead of sending a packet), which I have put for you below for your convenience.

World worldIn = playerIn.world;

worldIn.playSound(null, playerIn.getPosition(), /* your sound name */, /* your sound category */, 5.0F, 1.0F);

 

I hope I helped. Happy modding!

Hi, thanks for the example it worked perfectly except I'm not sure where you got playerIn from I tried this:

Entity playerIn = event.entity;

but then I got this error:The method playSound(double, double, double, String, float, float, boolean) in the type World is not applicable for the arguments (null, World, String, String, float, float)

 

Thanks for all your help

Hi, no problem.

EntityPlayer is the simplest to get, silly

Answer:

EntityPlayer playerIn = (EntityPlayer) event.entity;

Oh, thanks lol, just need two more things 1 I'm getting an error still: The method playSound(double, double, double, String, float, float, boolean) in the type World is not applicable for the arguments (null, BlockPos, String, String, float, float)

 

2: still having that uuid issue my thought was to do this?

UUID playerID = EntityPlayer.getOfflineUUID("Nostos");
if(event.entity.getUniqueID().equals(uid)){
// sound code here
}

Thanks

EntityPlayer playerIn = (EntityPlayer) event.entity;

World worldIn = playerIn.world;

worldIn.playSound(playerIn, playerIn.getPosition(), /* here you have to put a SoundEvent instance, NOT a String */, SoundCategory.PLAYERS, 5.0F, 1.0F);

okay, I'm starting to feel bad for asking all these noob questions but when I register the sound event like this:

ResourceLocation location = new ResourceLocation("zillexcm", "jigglypuff");
SoundEvent soundevent = new SoundEvent(location);

it gives this error: The constructor SoundEvent(ResourceLocation) is undefined

 

again, sorry for all the noob questions

I don't mod on 1.12, so I can't help you any further. This should be pretty simple to figure out...

I can't help, the only suggestion I will give is to update to a newer version such as 1.10.2.

oh rip, I can't update because Im making this mod for someone

Just now, diesieben07 said:

Tell that someone to update. Seriously, 1.8 is ancient. At least use 1.8.9.

oh it is 1.8.9 lol I just say 1.8 assuming everyone thinks 1.8.9

Use your IDE to jump into the class to see what constructors are really available.

Didn't really help, thanks for the suggestion though.
