I have a Mana type system that I want to use, I can make the mana variable and such, I can make it decrease, but how do I make it increase? I mean, aside from manually making the mana increase, how do I make it regenerate like the players health does when the player is at full food?

 

thanks for any help, Mew

I believe its possible to pull back the player's food level (public property or method of the EntityPlayer class).

From there it's a matter of following a similar set of instructions I've posted/trying to post/will post in this thread:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/board,73.0.html

Thats not quite what I meant... I DON't want the players food level, I was just wanting the mana to regenerate at the same speed that the players health does.

 

I was just pointing out that the player only heals at all when the food bar is full.

Sorry, with the forums as upity as they've been lately I've been more focused on short answers.

In any case, same process, but you're looking at using delays of 80 ticks.

 

Edit:

I mean in the entity update handler:

 

public void EntityUpdate(LivingEvent event){
    	EntityLiving ent = event.entityLiving;
        NBTTagCompound nbt = ent.getEntityData();
        int mana = nbt.getInteger("Mana");
        int maxmana = nbt.getInteger("MaxMana");
        if(mana < maxmana) {
            int timer = nbt.getInteger("ManaTimer");
            timer++;
            if (timer > 80) {
                mana++;
            }
            nbt.setInteger("Mana",mana);
...
