Block that drowns, but isn't water

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to create a block that causes the player to suffocate (with a breath meter) but which doesn't allow the player to swim "up" in it.

 

Currently both of these functions are handled exclusively by the block's material type.

 

//EntityLiving.java

If(Material == Material.water) { breath goes down } else { reset to full }
If(Material == Material.water) { allow swimming }

 

So while my block can get and set the player's air value, because my block's material is-not-water, the EntityPlayer just resets it to 300 anyway.

 

But if I use Material.water as my block's material, the player is allowed to swim in it (various forms of negating the swimming have been tried, to much amusement).

 

Suggestions?

xmaybe make your own material, just copy water but screw it up a little? :-X

or maybe make an oncollide (or something simmilar, can't remember) with 2 double varibles

1 = last Y pos

2 = current Y pos

if(1 < 2 && 2 != 0xF) { move the player back down;}

else{//whatever you want}

1 = 2;

2 = 0xF;

Also, I should have you know that you are reading my signature.

Won't work.  Drowning is entirely tied to Material.water.

That is exactly what resulted in flinging me to Y=10,000,000

Make a material that is like water with the propertys you want and without that ones you don't.

 

WATER AS A MATERIAL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR.  How many times do I have to say that?

 

EntityLiving is responsible for the desired behavior:

 

if (this.isEntityAlive() && this.isInsideOfMaterial(Material.water) && !this.canBreatheUnderwater() && !this.activePotionsMap.containsKey(Integer.valueOf(Potion.waterBreathing.id)) && !flag) {
    this.setAir(this.decreaseAirSupply(this.getAir()));

 

Note how it references Material.water.

Hmm... I was wondering, could you maybe make an invisible replica of the player entity that has these set attributes? Then, when you needed to use those attributes, switch out the EntityPlayer to your "clone"? Then once that action has been performed, reverts back to that EntityPlayer that was originally used?

I am Mew. The Legendary Psychic. I behave oddly and am always playing practical jokes.

 

I have also found that I really love making extremely long and extremely but sometimes not so descriptive variables. Sort of like what I just did there xD

No, because it's update function will still revert the breath bar to full.

I believe I didn't explain my idea well enough. And it would also require a core mod to be made.

 

 

have you tried making a function that "Mirrors" the normal function? Then mirror everything else that is needed for it and such? Though this will also probably require either a base edit or a core mod.

If I wanted to do a core mod, I'd simply fix the existing EntityLiving class so that it checks for material properties rather than seeing if the material is water (same thing with item frames using "is the item in my inventory exactly equal to Item.map" instead of "is the item in my inventory isMap?".[1]

Explain better.  But if it has to be a base edit or core mod, see above.
