I've been working on using Capabilities (instead of WorldSavedData due to issues with its complexity mentioned in another thread) and at this point, I'm lost. I'm instantiating my Capability and everything seems to be initialized as it should. You can see here how I'm calling it, and it always comes back null; at this point in execution I have an IWorld instance as I'm generating plutons in the world. Since it always comes back null, there's nothing I can do with it -- am I not supposed to be doing this??

 

I've seen :

GeolosysAPI.PLUTON_CAPABILITY.getDefaultInstance()

But it seems like "default" is implying that this isn't how I should be using this, and I haven't seen any other 1.14.x code using a World capability as of yet.

 

As usual, thanks for the help!

I dont see you using the AttachCapabilityEvent<World> anywhere in your code.

Here - and it triggers so I know I haven't botched something with the static vs. non-static access:

Weird I even used the search feature on github. Must've spelt it wrong.

Quote

public <T> LazyOptional<T> getCapability(@Nonnull final Capability<T> capIn, final @Nullable Direction side)
    {
        if (capIn instanceof IPlutonCapability)
        {
            return cap.cast();
        }

        return LazyOptional.empty();
    }

The bolded statement will never be true. You need to check if capIn == YOUR_CAPABILITY_VALUE. You need a

@CapabilityInject(ISomething.class)

public static final Capability<ISomething> YOUR_CAPABILITY_VALUE = null;

Ahhh that makes sense. I already have the @CapabilityInject portion in the Geolosys API, but your instanceof point is spot on. Let me try it and see if that resolves my issue.

That was it. Wow, there's so much involvement in getting a Capability to work with little-to-no wiggle-room for error. 

 

Thanks for the help!!

Fair - I'm just used to things in Forge having fewer components and allowing for some difference in implementation, and having Forge offer some default implementations.
