[1.14.4] NullPointer When Loading Capability Data

[unassigned]

Hello,

 

I've recently started modding again so I'm still fairly new to the 1.13 changes.

As capabilities have changed somewhat, I'm getting stuck trying to read/write the cap data when the player first joins: I get a NullPointer when I first login after the capability gets attached. Meaning, the first login works, but any following attempts fail will crash:

I should also add that it does not crash when I send the packet through other means. I do have some idea to what is causing this crash, however: the packet to update the server w/ the client is being sent while the client is not actually connected yet. I found this result through checking if the client is connected before syncing the data, however this leads to the values not being synced once the NBT is set. I just have no idea on how to fix this problem.

 

Here is the code that is within the stacktrace, and here is my github if you need to see anything else.

You should have a reference to your actual capability and only use/provide your LazyOptional for external operations.

Yeah, I just needed some clarification on the new LazyOptional system, as I'm still not too sure what/when to use them. So doing something like this:

                e.getCapability(PlayerVoidProvider.CAPABILITY_PLAYER_VOID).ifPresent(pv -> pv.setVoidStored(message.playerVoid));

isn't correct? Or am I mistaking what you are meaning.

 

[Cadiboo]

If you know that the object exists and have access to it, you shouldn’t be using an optional. An Optional should be exposed to the rest of the world with getCapability BUT you know that your capability will never be null so you should use a direct reference in your internal code.

Ok. I think I see what you are meaning, however I still don't exactly see where I'm doing anything wrong. I know when I get the capability to send the packet that the cap isn't ever null, so direct reference is fine in this case I believe.

I believe I went through and changed what needed to be changed, but I still get the same error. I did quite the rewrite to get everything in order again, and just for optimization purposes. Here is the stacktrace again:

Note that this crash happens around just before the player finishes connecting after leaving with nbt data saved.

 

Here are some direct links to the proper github files, as those will house the lines where everything is happening.

CapabilityPlayerVoid

PlayerVoid

MessagePlayerVoid

 

Thank you both for your help so far.

You are trying to send a packet while being read from NBT. That does not work, the player doesn't exist fully yet, so you can't send a packet to it.

Ah gotcha. I did the following, which is quite hacky but seems to work: I added a parameter to the setVoidStored to send the packet or not, then send the packet when the entity joins the world.

 

new readNBT within the cap:

                            instance.setVoidStored(compound.getInt("VoidStored"), false);

 

new event to send the packet after the player is done connecting:

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onJoinWorld(EntityJoinWorldEvent event) {
        Entity e = event.getEntity();
        if(e != null) {
            if(e instanceof PlayerEntity) {
                CapabilityPlayerVoid.getPlayerVoid((PlayerEntity)e).ifPresent(IPlayerVoid::onVoidChanged);
            }
        }
    }

 

Let me know if there is a simpler way of doing it. Other than that thanks for your help!
