LivingEquipmentChangeEvent client side

[Meldexun]

I need to execute some code when the player switches his armor. But the LivingEquipmentChangeEvent is only server side and i need to do my stuff client side. So is there a way to run my stuff client side when the LivingEquipmentChangeEvent is fired?

I tried sending a packet and it is recieved on the client.

public class MessageHandlerBD implements IMessageHandler<MessageBD, IMessage> {

	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(MessageBD messageBD, MessageContext ctx) {
		System.out.println("PACKET");
		return null;
	}

}

But instead of just writing PACKET in the client log, I want to do something with my Capability on the client side. But when i try it the game always is crashing

	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(MessageBD messageBD, MessageContext ctx) {
		ctx.getServerHandler().player.getCapability(DiveSpeedProvider.DIVESPEED, null).updateDiveSpeed(ctx.getServerHandler().player);
		return null;
	}

I also thought that the getServerHandler isn't working on client side. But how can I access the Player object on the client side?

The client player is always Minecraft#player.

Ok. I feel like that was pretty obvious. Thanks for the help.

Note that you will need to encapsulate this access to client-only classes through @SidedProxy.

But I don't know what you mean with that.

Ok, I now registered the Packet in my ClientProxy

public class ClientProxy implements CommonProxy {
	
	@Override
	public void init() {
		BetterDiving.INSTANCE.registerMessage(MessageHandlerBD.class, MessageBD.class, 0, Side.CLIENT);
	}
}

But once i switch armor on a server nothing happens and on the server i get this message: Undefined discriminator for message type MessageBD in channel better_diving

[Meldexun]

Now I created a MessageHandlerBDDummy class and I'm calling this in my ServerProxy

BetterDiving.INSTANCE.registerMessage(MessageHandlerBDDummy.class, MessageBD.class, 0, Side.SERVER);

The MessageHandlyerBDDummy class isn't doing something when receiving a packet. And everything seems to work know. Thank you for the help. If there is a better way of solving my issue you can say it.

CommonProxy

A common proxy doesn’t make sense, proxies are for separating side specific code i.e. code that will crash when executed on the wrong side. A proxy by definition cannot be common. Common code goes anywhere except for in a proxy

The packet must be registered on both sides, no reason to do that through your proxy.

Only the packet action must be encapsulated.

Ok. That makes sense. I will try to do that.

It's just the name of the interface. I have just followed a tutorial for modding beginning and there it was named common proxy. I'm not doing something in this interface.

Great! IProxy is the conventional name for it though

I now check in my MessageHandler if the message is recieved client side and it seems to work.

	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(MessageCapabilitySync messageCapabilitySync, MessageContext ctx) {
		if (ctx.side.isClient()) {
			//do some stuff
		}
		return null;
	}

I tried that before but then it was crashing all the time. Thats why I used the proxy to register my message.

I also noticed that most people name it IProxy. Maybe I will change it too.

The condition is pointless, you know which side you sent the packet do.

The "do some stuff" part must be in your client proxy though, like I initially mentioned.

So I just create a method in my Client proxy which is than called by the MessageHandler.

	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(MessageCapabilitySync messageCapabilitySync, MessageContext ctx) {
		ClientProxy.message1(messageCapabilitySync, ctx);
		return null;
	}

Directly calling something on ClientProxy defeats its purpose IIRC, You need to call the method from your proxy instance
