Hello,

I'd like to call a function from outside the main mod class when for example the game starts.

It'd be in the main mod class like this:

@PreInit
public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
function();
}

 

I hope I explained well if not please tell me!

 

Thank you in advance,

Dawars

What do you need to do this for?

But here is how I would attempt to go about it:

import net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeSubscribe;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

public class EventHookContainerClass {

@ForgeSubscribe
public void FunctionNameHere(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
	//What you want to do here.               
}

}

 

And then in your mods Main class add:

	@Init
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new EventHookContainerClass());

}

You mean like calling a function from an other class in your main mod file?

Yes I meant class.

 

I tried it and it crashed:

package.package.FunctionNameHere(cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent) has @ForgeSubscribe annotation, but takes a argument that is not a Event class cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent

 

What I'd like to do is a program that modders can put into their mods and register in their mod file maximum once.

It'd send data to my website and they could see theirs stats there...

I don't want it to be to complicated for them.

Well, if your looking to do the @init you need to use FMLPreInitialisatiomevent, not FMLInitiliaztionEvent

Yes I changed it that way but still not working

Can you post the actual crash log?

Hmmm, I really wish I was next to my computer right now so that I could try and help some more, but for now I don't know what to say I'm really sorry  :'(

No problem, I can finish the other side of the stat system

And you can help when you are next to a computer

Thanks!

FML's events are not part of Forge's event bus as Forge's event bus is highly specialized for efficiency.

Your best bet is just do do things normaly.

Have a 'bouncer' method in your main class that just has a 'OtherClass.onInit(event)'
