As the title states, how would I do this? I thought that running it server side only via a packet would fix it, but it didn't. So I am at a loss...

 

 

The packet code I am using is here:

package rpg.network.packet;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import com.google.common.io.ByteArrayDataInput;
import com.google.common.io.ByteArrayDataOutput;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

public class PacketSendChat extends MinePGPacket {

    String message;

    public PacketSendChat() {
    }

    public PacketSendChat(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    @Override
    protected void execute(EntityPlayer player, Side side) {
        if (side.isServer() && !side.isClient()) {
            player.sendChatToPlayer(message);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void writeData(ByteArrayDataOutput out) {
        out.writeUTF(message);
    }

    @Override
    protected void readData(ByteArrayDataInput in) {
        this.message = in.readUTF();
    }
}

Hi there!

 

I'm very new to modding, but I have an idea.

 

Have you tested "addChatMessage(message)" instead of "sendChatToPlayer(message)"? Maybe this helps.

addChatMessage(""); sends a message to all the players, whereas sendChatToPlayer(""); sends the message only to the specified player.

 

At least thats what I think...

 

But that is beside the point. The method sends the message to the player, but it sends it twice. Which is what I am trying to avoid.

Use the server version of entity player. Then it can only happen server side.

*facepalms* That was the cast I was missing...

Hi Mew!

 

Sorry for my mistake! As I said, I'm very new to modding Why I wrote an answer though?! I had a similar problem with a CustomKeyHandler. Everytime I pressed a Key, the function was called two times (I think so, cause the chatmessage appeared two times.). It seemed to be the "keypressed" and "keyreleased"-problem. To shiip around this, I created an toggle which allowed to set a control-variable only once to true and after that to false. Now the chatmessage only appears one time, like it should, only the gamemode is changing very randomly, but that's another story. Maybe it helps you, if you create a toggle like mine in the function you call. Would be something like:

 

- Is (boolean)sent=true? if yes, do nothing or if not, sendChat... and set sent to false

 

I hope you got what I mean Sorry, but my english is at the borderline

 

If it helps you, here the link to my issue, with the toggle-part inside: Click
