Extended Tileentity?

[Busti]

Hello,

this might be a Java question but I am new to java so please don't write "Learn Java"

I extended a TileEntity and it is working fine except for variables, when I define a Variable in the Constructor the value won't be shown in the SubClass. When i try to print the Value of the Variable I am getting NaN("Not a Number")

 

My code:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

TileEntity:

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class TileEntity extends TileEntity {

public int var = 1;
}

SubTileentity:

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class SubTileEntity extends TileEntity {

public void updateEntity() {

	System.out.println(this.var);

}
}

Why do you name your main TileEntity class the same as the vanilla one? It doesn't look good and causes confusion. But whatever, the problem is this:

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class SubTileEntity extends TileEntity {

 

Your import looks wrong. You need to import YOURPACKAGE.YOURSUBPACKAGE.TileEntity not net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity.

Again, if you would have named your class different, you would have seen this.

[Busti]

that was just an example.

like SanAndreasP said, you do not want to name the class the same thing as the class you are extending.

 

Try

 

public class TileEntityA extends TileEntity {

public int var = 1;
}

 

then

 

public class SubTileEntity extends TileEntityA {

 

Think of it as a hierarchy, TileEntity -> TileEntityA -> SubTileEntity  you cannot grab a variable that is declared in TileEntityA from the base Tile Entity, but you can grab it from SubTileEntity because it extends TileEntityA.  Hope that makes sense, I'm still learning java myself.
