Looking for help with assigning player data to the player entity!

[cowlegs]

Basically, I'm at a stage in my mod where I'd like to take a look at player data that persists upon leaving/dying and is loaded when the player joins or respawns. Only issue being that I can't find any up-to-date tutorials anywhere that help me in this particular area..

 

I'm hoping to implement a string data value called 'nentype' that has a randomized value from a list of strings that gets set upon joining the game for the first time, and then gets saved for future use.

 

Could anyone give me a run down on how I might be able to go about this, or link me a tutorial that's up to date with forge 1.12.2?

Thanks.

Take a look at capabilities. Create one that stores a string, and set the string when the player joins.

So I took a look over at the capabilities section on the forge forum (Thanks for that by the way) but I seem to have run into an error...

my;

    CapabilityManager.INSTANCE.register(INen.class, new NenStorage(), Nen.class);
 

line in my CommonProxy seems to have an error, though it's not entirely clear on how I can go about fixing it.

 

The error messages that come up are as follows;

I can't really tell completely, but it looks like you're calling that outside a method, which you can't do. If it is inside of a method, post your code instead of showing the error.

Oh, I didn't think of that.

 

I managed to fix it by putting it within a method, thanks a bunch
