Client-Server mismatch

[TuxCraft]

Help, I have no idea on how to use packets. I know there's a tutorial on the forge wiki about it but it makes no sense to me. There are two glitches in my mod that I've whittled down to the client and server not matching up. One is where the client gives me a ghost item and another is an entity that only shows up client side when thrown. I've been saving the fixing of these two bugs for last because again, I have no idea how to use packets. If someone could explain to me how they work and give me the general gist of it I'm sure I can go from there.

for the ghost entity you should be able to get away with an if(!world.isRemote) before spawning it.

 

as for the other bug, can we see your code rather than doing this blind?

Thanks for responding but I don't think the ghost entity will be solved that way because the way I have it set up it is incased in a if(world.isRemote). Here let me show you.

 

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World,
        EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
{

	if (par2World.isRemote)
	{
		if (TuxWeaponsCore.harpoonEntity != null)
		{
			int i = TuxWeaponsCore.harpoonEntity.recall();
			par1ItemStack.damageItem(i, par3EntityPlayer);
			par3EntityPlayer.swingItem();
		}

		else
		{
			par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "random.bow",
			        0.5F, 0.4F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));
			par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityHarpoon(par2World,
			        par3EntityPlayer, 0.7F, 5));
			par3EntityPlayer.swingItem();
		}
	}

	return par1ItemStack;
}

 

 

I'm making a Harpoon which works similar to a fishing rod. What happens is you throw the harpoon and it will bounce off of entities it comes into contact with but it will not do any damage.

 

As for the ghost item here's the code. It's a spear so before you through it it gets the itemstack and on the entity side it adds it to the inventory.

 

Here's the copy code

 

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World,
        EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
{

	itemstack = par3EntityPlayer.inventory.getCurrentItem().copyItemStack(par1ItemStack);

	if (par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode
	        || par3EntityPlayer.inventory.hasItem(this.itemID))
	{
		par3EntityPlayer.setItemInUse(par1ItemStack,
		        this.getMaxItemUseDuration(par1ItemStack));
	}

	return par1ItemStack;
}

 

 

And the entity pickup code

 

@Override
public void onCollideWithPlayer(EntityPlayer par1EntityPlayer)
{

	boolean flag = this.canBePickedUp == 1 || this.canBePickedUp == 2
	        && par1EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode;

	if (this.inGround && this.arrowShake <= 0)
	{

		if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
		{

			if (this.canBePickedUp == 1
			        && !par1EntityPlayer.inventory
			                .addItemStackToInventory(stack))
			{
				flag = false;
			}
		}

		if (flag)
		{
			this.playSound(
			        "random.pop",
			        0.2F,
			        ((this.rand.nextFloat() - this.rand.nextFloat()) * 0.7F + 1.0F) * 2.0F);
			par1EntityPlayer.onItemPickup(this, 1);
			this.setDead();
		}
	}

}

 

 

Now I have partially solved the ghost item problem, by putting the if (!this.worldObj.isRemote) around the add item to inventory code and not the kill code it will put the correct itemstack in the inventory and it is not a ghost, but after it hits an entity you can not pick it up just like the arrow which I used to base this code on, so I'll look and see if there's a fix for that, I assume it has something to do with this.canBePickedUp. If I don't have the if (!this.worldObj.isRemote) it will let me pick up the item every time as a ghost and if I have it around the set dead code it will kill the entity but the client will still show it.

[Yagoki]

for the first bit of code, try this:

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World,
        EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
{
		if (TuxWeaponsCore.harpoonEntity != null)
		{
			int i = TuxWeaponsCore.harpoonEntity.recall();
			par1ItemStack.damageItem(i, par3EntityPlayer);
			par3EntityPlayer.swingItem();
		}

		else
		{
			par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "random.bow",
			        0.5F, 0.4F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));

                                if(par2World.isRemote)
			        par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityHarpoon(par2World,
			                par3EntityPlayer, 0.7F, 5));

			par3EntityPlayer.swingItem();
		}

	return par1ItemStack;
}

 

that may fix it, not too sure if that will work but give it a shot (don't have anything like this anymore for reference)

if not, play around with it just remember you only want to spawn the entity when world.isRemote = false (i.e. you're on the server), as this will send the relevant stuff to the client, also damage is only done on the server hence it wasn't doing damage as you only had it on the client.

 

not too sure about the other problem though...

[TuxCraft]

Ok I made HUGE changes to the harpoon code and I'm not sure what exactly you changed, it looks like you took out the 'if(par2World.isRemote)' at the top and moved it to only be above the spawn entity in world bit. When I tried those two changes the projectile briefly flashed in the corner of my screen and then disappeared. I believe you meant to have the exclamation mark before par2World because when I did that it did damage to enemies I aimed at but I couldn't see it, probably a problem with my rendering, should be a simple fix (However if you have any insight do share  ).

 

Anyway here's my whole EntitySpear code because I really want this fixed.

I still believe I need to use a packet but I'm not sure how.

ok if it's not showing try scrapping the if(world.isRemote) completely. See what that does, I'm to too familiar with entities, it's been a while since I've done stuff with them and i don't have the files anymore

 

still don't know about the other one

Nope that doesn't work either. I'm pretty convinced that I need to send packets from the client to the server in order to do what I want but I have no idea how.

[TuxCraft]

Someone please help I can tell packets are very important and I'll need to know how to use them sooner or later. If you could even link me to a tutorial or an open source mod that is a good example that would be great.

[TuxCraft]

Bump, seriously does no one know how to use packets? If not could someone point me to an open source mod that has a good, practical example?

TRIPLE POST!

 

Sorry, I have problems which (I believe) have to do with packets myself.
