I am trying to have a GUI show that only gets shown when the player enters the new dimension I have. I can find multiple places where the GUI shows for a split second then disappears, but is there an event, or a special way of tracking what dimension the player is in, and when he changes dimension?

Bump. I really need to know!!! Is diesieben07 online to help?

you could get the worldObj from the player. so it would look i little like

player.worldObj.provider.dimensionId

player.worldObj.provider.dimensionId

 

Yup, I use this a lot actually.

Namely for packet sending (as I haven't figured out how to convert an EntityPlayer into a Player for use with sendPacketToPlayer, so I use sendPacketToNearby).

You just cast the EntityPlayer to the Player: (Player)entityPlayer

like you would do it the other way around when receiving the packet: (EntityPlayer)player

YAY!!!! Half of what I am looking for...

 

Now I know what to call to check if the player is in a certain dimension, but how do I know WHEN the player changes dimension? Thats what I really want to know

you could save the dimension in a variable, and then look at it again later and see if they are the same. I did something like that for my energy-esque network.

implement a class implementing IPlayerTracker (register it with GameRegistry.registerPlayerTracker) and when a player changes dimension it will run onPlayerChangedDimension method in your class .

Hmm.. Ill retry with this new way of finding the players dimension...

I tried before and it didn't work

Not really needed I would think

It's possible that it's only server-side. But you can easily implement a custom packet to trigger something on a client (if it's really server-side only).

Great. Now I have to create a Packet system for an otherwise simple test.... Haha, nothings ever as simple as it seems to be

Apparently I'm not allowed to reply to posts any more.  The forum whines that I either submitted another post too recently or already submitted that post.

The hell I did.

 

entityPlayer.dimension

 

All entities have a reference to the dimension that they're in.  No need for listeners or accessing the world object.

Apparently I gave up without actually trying that.

I tried the entityPlayer.dimension but it didn't work... So ill try any new way that comes to me

A lot of people would like to know how you made your dimension.

Umm. What? I don't understand

 

If you want to know how to make a dimension look at Spazzys Solar system mod code on github. Which can be found here: https://github.com/haydenf96/Spazzysmod

 

More specifically these files:

Those are all the files for the Moon dimension in the mod. (I help make that mod, I am ModderPenguin)

Thanks. That helps.

Your welcome mate

Wait- how do you light the portal?

I don't have a portal lighter for that... It was just the dimension

 

To do that, just look at Wuppy29's 1.4.7 tutorials and look at the portal placer tutorial. That is probably a good way f doing it.

That is not coded with Pudlehund's Dimension API.

But that requires altering a base class. :0

i am new to forge, i m making a mod, it needs to know if player is in end dimension, i used this code

 

public void playerlocation (){

       if (player.worldObj.provider.dimensionId = 1) {
    }

but it highlights the player as red color, what am i missing

 

 

 

my full code + its in a new java class

 

package com.example;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.entity.*;
public class Listeners {



    public void playerlocation (){

       if (player.worldObj.provider.dimensionId = 1) {
    }
}
