[SOLVED] I can't modify a TileEntity field !

hi,

I'm new to the forum and I program with forge since few days..

And I've a problem with a TileEntity which contains 2 fields (track & radius) who are edited by a server command.

if I verify from the (server)command class, the fields are successfully modified, but when I execute a method in my TileEntity, the fields are empty again ! I'm not English so I hope I've correctly explained my problem. With the code it's easier to understand :

CommandSetting (the class which manage the command)

http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/c100aba1

TriggerTileEntity (the tileentity class)

http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/494599ec

Triggerblock (the blockContainer Class)

http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/833d807c

 

So when I call CommandSetting and then call the updateEntity method from the TileEntity, it fail because track and radius are empty...

What's wrong ? the mod is supposed to be universal, so if I made mistakes with the sides, please tell me about that too. I've not posted the mod main class but the command, the block and the TileEntity are in the game so there is no problem in this class.

Thanks for you time and your help ! :)

Your problem, I think, is that the server side has different info to the client side.

Update entity is a method called by the client and server on each game tick, you don't want to be using this to update the fields within your tile entity as it will slow down the system (your passing lots of info every tick, which is never good).

There are the following methods you can put into your tile entity, which will get called by the server every time you call "world.markBlockForUpdate(x,y,z);" and will send a packet from the server tile entity to the equivalent client tile entity. (also better as you don't need packet handling).

 

just put this in your tile entity.

@Override
public void onDataPacket(INetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData pkt)
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = pkt.customParam1;
	this.readFromNBT(tag);
}

@Override
public Packet getDescriptionPacket()
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
	this.writeToNBT(tag);
	return new Packet132TileEntityData(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, 0, tag);
}

 

(NOTE, you need to put these into your tile entity, by default they are empty)

 

again just to clarify, this will read the info about the server tile entity then send the info the the client tile entity. Again I'll clarify, to use this set the info on the tile using your command, make sure that this is happening on the server side (world.isRemote = false), then call world.markBlockForUpdate(x,y,z) and that will handle the info

thanks for the reply.

The tileEntity must search for nearby players very often and send them a packet so i must keep the updateEntity method. am i wrong ?

To use the methods : the server command class edit the tileEntity Fields and then do world.markBlockForUpdate(x,y,z);  to apply change on client side ? it's like these method work ?

i haven't the code at the moment, but when i go home and have my computer(i write with my android phone actually) i will try but you can tell me if i'm wrong before i do it. ^^

I think most of your code should be fine, I'm just thinking something like this in your command code

    public void processCommand(ICommandSender par1ICommandSender, String[] par2ArrayOfStr)
    {
    	if (par2ArrayOfStr.length >= 2)
        {
    		try
    		{
    		int blockHitX = 0;
        int blockHitY = 0;
        int blockHitZ = 0;
        int blockHitSide = 0;
    		if((Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F) != null)){
    	        blockHitX = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockX;
    	        blockHitY = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockY;
    	        blockHitZ = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockZ;
    	        blockHitSide = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).sideHit;
    	 }
            TriggerTileEntity test2 =  (TriggerTileEntity) Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.getBlockTileEntity(blockHitX, blockHitY, blockHitZ);
            test2.track = par2ArrayOfStr[0];
            test2.radius = Integer.parseInt(par2ArrayOfStr[1]);
            
            par1ICommandSender.sendChatToPlayer("Sucess !" + test2.radius + "|" + test2.track);

    		Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.markBlockForUpdate(blockHitX, blockHitY, blockHitZ); //ADD THIS LINE TO YOUR CODE, REMEMBER TO ADD THE DATA PACKET STUFF TO THE TILE

    		}
    		catch(Exception e)
    		{
    			e.printStackTrace();
    			par1ICommandSender.sendChatToPlayer("A Problem occured !");
    		}
        }
        
    }

that was what I was thinking.  but it still doesn't work. same problem (just in case I moved the updateEntity method to another which is called when the player hit the block, it's just for testing and to prevent passing lots of info every tick)

The tileEntity is here, in the block(because I have no error so the command can reached the tileEntity) but the fields are still empty...  It's really annoying because all of the mod work fine except this  :-\  .

_______

also I think this :

      int blockHitX = 0;
        int blockHitY = 0;
        int blockHitZ = 0;
        int blockHitSide = 0;
    		if((Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F) != null)){
    	        blockHitX = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockX;
    	        blockHitY = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockY;
    	        blockHitZ = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).blockZ;
    	        blockHitSide = Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.rayTrace(200, 1.0F).sideHit;
    	 }

work for the moment because I test in singleplayer, but when I will put the mod on the server, it will not work ?

If there is an easier way to do what my mod should do, feel free to tell me I'm ready to change all the code if it's really usefull.

My TileEntity is a block which send a specific packet to all player nearby himself , the radius and the packed data are configurable with one command(or a GUI but it's more difficult, i prefer a command that need to look at the block).

I know how to do this with a gui, kinda the only thing which is working in my mod at the moment :D

 

packetHandler

guiHandler

 

Proximity detector, emits redstone when entitys are nearby

tileEntity

gui

 

radial field, repels/attracts nearby entitys

tileEntity

gui

 

the important part in the gui is the action performed method, this sends the information about the button pressed to the server (via a packet), which then updates the client via world.markBlockForUpdate in the packetHandler

 

If you don't understand something just say

i wasn't thinking you will give your code, but a huge thanks !

I love your blocks, i will modify the proximity detector to  remplace my old Triggerblock..

But can i keep the twoblock you have already coded ? i just want to have them on my server. and of course i will give you credit on the server website.

And actually I'm trying to add a textfield to the GUI.

You said "kinda the only thing which is working in my mod at the moment ", you mean the tileentity don't work(not emit redstone signal) and don't search for nearby entities ? if you want in my mod it's the only thing which worked, so i can send you my code which do that. ;D

haha, no. The proximity detector and such all work fine. The things that aren't working are still WIP and i'm making good progress with (multiblock structure, node based network system with over complicated gui and mechanics)

 

Feel free ti use any of my stuff, There is a link to my mod download below and I leave all my source code open to the public on github as I prefer things to be open source as it benefits the community better. I was having trouble getting my mod to work on a server, but it could be my friend not installing it properly to the server so let me know if you get it working (He was getting a null pointer every time he tried to get a block from creative)

Thanks you very much for your help ! it work.

now I've an awesome GUI, by the way now i know how to do GUI(with textbox !), and block which can receive and send redstone signal.  Your mod work wonderfully in multiplayer, I've tried. You just have a string formatting error in the radial field emitter, i fixed that but you know how to fix it ! (line 226 in TileEntityRadialField.java).

Glad you got all that working and that I could help

I'm not quite sure what the issue you're mentioning is, That has never given me a problem, and is just there to round the number to the nearest tenth. If you could clarify that would be really useful.

    • I'm developing a dimension, but it's kinda resource intensive so some times during player teleporting it lags behind making the player phase down into the void, so im trying to implement some kind of pregeneration to force the game loading a small set of chunks in the are the player will teleport to. Some of the things i've tried like using ServerLevel and ServerChunkCache methods like getChunk() dont actually trigger chunk generation if the chunk isn't already on persistent storage (already generated) or placing tickets, but that doesn't work either. Ideally i should be able to check when the task has ended too. I've peeked around some pregen engines, but they're too complex for my current understanding of the system of which I have just a basic understanding (how ServerLevel ,ServerChunkCache  and ChunkMap work) of. Any tips or other classes I should be looking into to understand how to do this correctly?

    • Way back in the Forge 1.17 days, work started for adding JPMS (Java Platform Module Support) to ModLauncher and ForgeModLoader. This has been used internally by Forge and some libraries for a while now, but mods (those with mods.toml specifically) have not been able to take advantage of it. As of Forge 1.21.1 and 1.21.3, this is now possible!   What is JPMS and what does it mean for modders? JPMS is the Java Platform Module System, introduced in Java 9. It allows you to define modules, which are collections of packages and resources that can be exported or hidden from other modules. This allows for much more fine-tuned control over visibility, cleaner syntax for service declarations and support for sealed types across packages. For example, you might have a mod with a module called `com.example.mod` that exports `com.example.mod.api` and `com.example.mod.impl` to other mods, but hides `com.example.mod.internal` from them. This would allow you to have a clean API for other mods to use, while keeping your internal implementation details hidden from IDE hints, helping prevent accidental usage of internals that might break without prior notice. This is particularly useful if you'd like to use public records with module-private constructors or partially module-private record components, as you can create a sealed interface that only your record implements, having the interface be exported and the record hidden. It's also nice for declaring and using services, as you'll get compile-time errors from the Java compiler for typos and the like, rather than deferring to runtime errors. In more advanced cases, you can also have public methods that are only accessible to specific other modules -- handy if you want internal interactions between multiple of your own mods.   How do I bypass it? We understand there may be drama in implementing a system that prevents mods from accessing each other's internals when necessary (like when a mod is abandoned or you need to fix a compat issue) -- after all, we are already modding a game that doesn't have explicit support for Java mods yet. We have already thought of this and are offering APIs from day one to selectively bypass module restrictions. Let me be clear: Forge mods are not required to use JPMS. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. The default behaviour is to have fully open, fully exported automatic modules. In Java, you can use the `Add-Opens` and `Add-Exports` manifest attributes to selectively bypass module restrictions of other mods at launch time, and we've added explicit support for these when loading your Forge mods. At compile-time, you can use existing solutions such as the extra-java-module-info Gradle plugin to deal with non-modular dependencies and add extra opens and exports to other modules. Here's an example on how to make the internal package `com.example.examplemod.internal` open to your mod in your build.gradle: tasks.named('jar', Jar) { manifest { attributes([ 'Add-Opens' : 'com.example.examplemod/com.example.examplemod.internal' 'Specification-Title' : mod_id, 'Specification-Vendor' : mod_authors // (...) ]) } } With the above in your mod's jar manifest, you can now reflectively access the classes inside that internal package. Multiple entries are separated with a space, as per Java's official spec. You can also use Add-Exports to directly call without reflection, however you'd need to use the Gradle plugin mentioned earlier to be able to compile. The syntax for Add-Exports is the same as Add-Opens, and instructions for the compile-time step with the Gradle plugin are detailed later in this post. Remember to prefer the opens and exports keywords inside module-info.java for sources you control. The Add-Opens/Add-Exports attributes are only intended for forcing open other mods.   What else is new with module support? Previously, the runtime module name was always forced to the first mod ID in your `mods.toml` file and all packages were forced fully open and exported. Module names are now distinguished from mod IDs, meaning the module name in your module-info.java can be different from the mod ID in your `mods.toml`. This allows you to have a more descriptive module name that doesn't have to be the same as your mod ID, however we strongly recommend including your mod ID as part of your module name to aid troubleshooting. The `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest attribute is now also honoured, allowing you to specify a module name for your mod without needing to create a `module-info.java` file. This is particularly useful for mods that don't care about JPMS features but want to have a more descriptive module name and easier integration with other mods that do use JPMS.   How do I use it? The first step is to create a `module-info.java` file in your mod's source directory. This file should be in the same package as your main mod class, and should look something like this: open module com.example.examplemod { requires net.minecraftforge.eventbus; requires net.minecraftforge.fmlcore; requires net.minecraftforge.forge; requires net.minecraftforge.javafmlmod; requires net.minecraftforge.mergetool.api; requires org.slf4j; requires logging; } For now, we're leaving the whole module open to reflection, which is a good starting point. When we know we want to close something off, we can remove the open modifier from the module and open or export individual packages instead. Remember that you need to be open to Forge (module name net.minecraftforge.forge), otherwise it can't call your mod's constructor. Next is fixing modules in Gradle. While Forge and Java support modules properly, Gradle does not put automatic modules on the module path by default, meaning that the logging module (from com.mojang:logging) is not found. To fix this, add the Gradle plugin and add a compile-time module definition for that Mojang library: plugins { // (...) id 'org.gradlex.extra-java-module-info' version "1.9" } // (...) extraJavaModuleInfo { failOnMissingModuleInfo = false automaticModule("com.mojang:logging", "logging") } The automatic module override specified in your build.gradle should match the runtime one to avoid errors. You can do the same for any library or mod dependency that is missing either a module-info or explicit Automatic-Module-Name, however be aware that you may need to update your mod once said library adds one. That's all you need to get started with module support in your mods. You can learn more about modules and how to use them at dev.java.
