[1.12.2] [solved] Getting Tile Entity block coords from a GUI class

[GooberGunter]

Hey, so I'm trying to change the GUI of a custom Container based on items inside the Tile Entity, but I can't really find a good way to tell the server how to find the tile entity the player is currently accessing. One approach I had was to use the look vector but that's giving me really weird problems. Is there a better way of finding a tile entity's BlockPos from the client side?

 

Here's the GUI if you want to look at it:

import net.minecraft.inventory.Container;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

import net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d;
import net.minecraftforge.common.DimensionManager;

public class ExperimentGui extends GuiContainer{
	
	int size;
	private static boolean hasPaper;
	
	public ExperimentGui(Container inventorySlotsIn) {
		super(inventorySlotsIn);
		this.xSize=304;
		this.ySize=249;
		this.size=this.height;
		this.hasPaper=false;
	}

	@Override
	protected void drawGuiContainerBackgroundLayer(float partialTicks, int mouseX, int mouseY) {
		this.drawInteractiveGui(partialTicks, mouseX, mouseY);
	}
	
	public static void setPaper(boolean paper) {
		hasPaper=paper;
	}
	
	protected void drawInteractiveGui(float partialTicks, int mouseX, int mouseY) {
		//TODO send message requesting paper
		GrandSorcery.handler.INSTANCE.sendToServer(new RequestPaperMessage(this.getTEPos()));
		if(hasPaper==true) {
			this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(GSReferences.MODID+":"+"textures/gui/inscriber_workbench_paper.png"));
		}else {
			this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(GSReferences.MODID+":"+"textures/gui/inscriber_workbench_empty.png"));
		}
		this.drawModalRectWithCustomSizedTexture((this.width/2)-(this.xSize/2), (this.height/2)-(this.ySize/2), this.xSize, this.ySize, this.xSize, this.ySize, this.xSize, this.ySize);
	}
	
	public BlockPos getTEPos() {
		Vec3d v = Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.getLookVec();
		for(int u=0; u<9; u++) {
			v.addVector(u, u, u);
			BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(v);
			if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().world.getBlockState(pos).getBlock()==ModBlocks.wkbnch && Minecraft.getMinecraft().world.getBlockState(pos)==DimensionManager.getWorld(0).getBlockState(pos)) {
				return pos;
			}
		}
		return null;
	}

}

 

I'd rather not use the look vector if it isn't necessary. I have the feeling it's better to use vectors in motion rather than position

Thank you, it's running perfectly fine now

Similarly, if you're not, they won't.

Yes, the forum is FUBAR. If you have any conversations, your inbox is considered "full."
