I've got the same problem as Daniel336Cobra in this thread 

 

I've got an Item (a gun) with a capability storing a list of ItemStacks (attachments - scopes, circuits, etc.). My circuit in that capability is an ItemStack that has another (different) capability that controls how often the gun should fire. Every time the gun is shot (in onUsingTick) a counter in my circuit's capability is incremented. This counter is reset in onPlayerStoppedUsing. Both capabilities are stored in the Gun's NBT and it seems that because of this when I'm using the gun the item stack is constantly updating and animations don't get applied successfully. ALSO when I stop using the gun on the client usually the server isn't made aware of this and keeps shooting.

 

My problem is that the server keeps shooting when the client has stopped. I believe it's the capability because when I comment out line 149 the animations & server/client shooting work fine (except obviously without the control provided by the capability). This makes it seem like the solution is not to sync (write NBT to the item stack) the capability & just hope they remain the same client/server.

My code - https://github.com/Cadiboo/WIPTechAlpha/blob/9304a1745aec48891841a0d9d8703a01cda72ca3/src/main/java/cadiboo/wiptech/item/ItemHandheldGun.java#L74-L192

added debug log

I haven't yet looked at your code to see if there is a problem as I currently dont have time, but I dont know a reason to sync this data to your client in the first place. Unless you plan to use it for an animation. If that is the plan dont sync it every time is changes only every so often.

The first capability (list of attachments) is used for animation, control and pretty much everything. The second capability (Circuit control) is only used to control when the gun can fire (burst mode, auto mode, semi-auto mode) and _should_ remain the same on the server & client without syncing. I've removed syncing for the Circuit control capability and everything works perfectly, but if I plan to do stuff with capability based ammo (which I do), I'm going to need to solve this.

capability based ammo

Explain this a bit more, why would this cause an "error"?

Basically, I don't know why its causing an error, but it is. As I said, if I stop the capability's NBT being written to the ItemStack I stop getting any problems. This works fine for the circuit control capability as it doesn't really need to be synced, but an Ammo capability will definitely need to be synced. Forgetting ammo entirely, my gun uses energy so that will need to be synced.

Ok, so we are just dealing with the animation and updating part of the problem. There is a method in the Item class called shouldCauseReequipAnimation. You will have to handle this in an appropriate way to fix your problem.

I have, I even tried always returning false, it didn't help. I still didn't get the pulling animation & the server continued to shoot after the client stopped.

You did not override the equals method so this will not work.

I'll go override it now though.

Did you check in the debugger about this particular part?

what do you mean?

Is the method being called? when it is call what are the parameters? What is it returning for said parameters?

Yeah I did go through it with the debugger, but apparently forgot to post the results.

This problem still isn't solved, so I'll go back to this project soon and get you a proper answer.
