Hi guys,

 

I have an entity. This entity should update on ticks ofc. Now the problem is that I want to use realtime, which means that I use System.currentTimeMillis(). I update my variable lastRecieved etc. It all works fine and stuff.

The problem is that I don't want the counter to count up while the game is paused. So I thought: "I just let the entity receive some sort of notification (preferably through an Event) and turn the counter off on GamePause and back on, with a new time ofc, when the pause is over.

But how can I do the trick? It seems like there is no event raised when the game is paused... neither when it is un-paused. Some tips from community?

 

Thanks in advance

Just out of curiosity:

 

Why?

I want the mob to die on its own after he "counted" to 250 and I don't trust laggy minecraft...

It's some sort of boss you have to kill fast because I don't set the life to 0 but I call this.setDead() (<- evil me).

 

Btw the mob is registered with an updateFrequency of 3 for those of you who want to know

I'd think that, if Minecraft lags, your entity should lag with it.

I agree, or else if you get a major lag spike, it just killed your chance of killing that boss.

Hm, ok I see that point... O think I'll just do that.

Though an answer would come in handy, you never know where you my need it.

If one doesn't exist, suggest it as a Forge hook on the Suggestions board.

True, maybe look at how minecraft sees when how when you pause the game minecraft saves the game.

Lag with the flow, my dear friend, lag with the flow.
