[SOLVED] [1.12.2] Sided forge energy io?

[ProspectPyxis]

I'm trying to make a capacitor block with one side being an output and the rest of the sides being input. How would I go about implementing this?

Return a different capability depending on the side (facing) passed in. 

[ProspectPyxis]

So what I should do is have two capabilities, one that can only input and another that can only output, return those for the right faces, and somehow sync the two energy values?

[Cadiboo]

No, have one normal energy storage. Then have a wrapper for that storage that can only receive and another wrapper that can only send.

A bit of a noob question now, but how would I do that? I'm trying to look for some code examples but I'm coming up dry. 

[Cadiboo]

1x energy storage in an instance field

1x (anonymous) class that wraps said energy storage (all methods delegate to the energy storage except canRecieve and receiveEnergy) in an instance field

1x (anonymous) class that wraps said energy storage (all methods delegate to the energy storage except canExtract and extractEnergy) in an instance field

[ProspectPyxis]

So from what I'm understanding, let's say my energy container class is named EnergyManager. I should make one primary EnergyManager instance, then have two other anonymous EnergyManager instances that override every method to only interact with the first instance. Am I going about this correctly?

[Cadiboo]

Yes, if EnergyManager extends EnergyStorage it implements IEnergyStorage

Yep, after testing, doing that works perfectly. Thank you!
