Hey all,

First time posting. I have a GUI with a container so when i call player.openGui, it tries to go to my GuiHandler and call getClientGuiElement. However, part of my container requires me to get an EntityPlayer with a UUID, and display some specific info about the player. When my findPlayer function ran on the client side while on a dedicated server, the player just returns null and my gui just displays empty. Is there any way to fix that?

 

Here's how I am finding player right now:

public static EntityPlayer findPlayer(UUID uuid) {
   for (WorldServer ws : DimensionManager.getWorlds()) {
      EntityPlayer player = ws.getPlayerEntityByUUID(uuid);
      if (player != null) return player;
   }
   return null;
}

What specific info?

Mainly I need to get the player.getRNG to display a random number of info. The info are specific stuff in my mod that checks for stuff like if the player is a witch, if the player has pets, etc. 

 

Here's the container:

public ContainerTarotTable(UUID id) {
   player = Util.findPlayer(id);
   if (player != null) {
      List<Tarot> valid = GameRegistry.findRegistry(Tarot.class).getValuesCollection().stream().filter(f -> f.isCounted(player)).collect(Collectors.toList());
      if (!valid.isEmpty()) {
         while (!valid.isEmpty() && toRead.size() < 4) {
            int i = player.getRNG().nextInt(valid.size());
            toRead.add(valid.get(i));
            valid.remove(i);
         }
      }
   }
}

You need to sync the information from the server to the client through the container. Cause the Client won't always know about the player.

Yeah that's what I am asking about, I have no idea how to do that.

Look at the Furnace's container.

Im pretty new to modding and I'm still so confused. I guess i need to addListener and detectAndSendChanges? But the container doesnt have an inventory, so there's no changes? I just need a way to have a player opengui on client side while on a dedicated server so that these info are depicted.

 

The player would be holding an item with NBTTag that has a UUID on it. I read that NBT and get the UUID out and find an EntityPlayer with that UUID.
