1.16 Drinkable Soup Items

[urbanxx001]

Title says it all. In my ModItems class, I added the following override (which should be default game behavior tbh):

@Override
public UseAction getUseAction(ItemStack stack) {

    UseAction ReturnUseAction;

    if (stack.getItem().isFood()) {
        if (stack.hasContainerItem()) {

            Item stack_container = stack.getContainerItem().getItem();

            if (stack_container == Items.BOWL) { ReturnUseAction = UseAction.DRINK;}
            else { ReturnUseAction = UseAction.EAT;}
        }
        else { ReturnUseAction = UseAction.EAT;}
        }
    else { ReturnUseAction = UseAction.NONE;}

    return ReturnUseAction;
}

For reference, the original is:

public UseAction getUseAction(ItemStack stack) {
   return stack.getItem().isFood() ? UseAction.EAT : UseAction.NONE;
}

But all foods still return the eating action in-game.

So are your items food?...

[urbanxx001]

Yea it should apply to all food items, including vanilla, since the class extends to the Item class. Is the problem that I need to pass something into ItemStack in the ModItems class, or does it already know what to pass based on the Item class?

What are you trying to do?

[urbanxx001]

? It applies the drinking animation to soup items (those items that have a container with a bowl), since in the base game consuming soup uses the eating animation for whatever reason. So the code is just overriding getUseAction which is built-in the source code.

[poopoodice]

maybe is because its container is bowl?

if (stack_container == Items.BOWL) { ReturnUseAction = UseAction.DRINK;}

 

[urbanxx001]

Yes, it's supposed to check for that...

Please learn what overriding actually means and how programming works.

You could have described why it didn't work instead of an insult. 

 

I'll look into LivingEntityUseItemEvent though, thanks. I appreciate the help that regular users like you and Draco give in the forum, your names appear a lot when researching old posts.

It's an insult when you're able to explain what the issue is but instead say to look elsewhere for help. This says you don't want to take the time to explain it when it could just take a few sentences to do so. Please don't further this, I don't want it to derail into something bad.

I know enough about Java to code the method above, which would work if it was in the source code. Not knowing one thing (or a few things counting other posts) doesn't invalidate my understanding of everything else about Java.

Knowing what method overriding is and how it works is a pretty core concept to OOP.
