So lately I have been trying to make armor that allows you to fly like you are in creative. I have not had any luck with using a tick handler and I was wondering if there is any other way to allow flight than what this topic: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=7925.0 does as it has not worked for me.

Why/how didn't it work?

Basically it would not let you fly but there were no errors

 

I will post the classes later tonight.

you need to set it in the onArmorUpdateTick method in the armor's item class.

The exact classes I used there still work for me...

 

(Note this is all from the project I use to test stuff (mostly for this site), so it isn't organized at all)

 

 

Tick Handler

 

import java.util.EnumSet;

import mods.gaspoweredstick.code.item.ItemModArmor;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.ITickHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.TickType;

public class PlayerTickHandler implements ITickHandler
{

@Override
public void tickStart(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData)
{
	playerTick((EntityPlayer)tickData[0]);
}

@Override
public void tickEnd(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData)
{

}

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks()
{
	return EnumSet.of(TickType.PLAYER);
}

@Override
public String getLabel()
{
	return "My_Tick_Handler";
}

private void playerTick(EntityPlayer player)
{

	if (player.inventory.armorInventory[3] != null)
	{
		if (player.inventory.armorInventory[3].getItem() instanceof ItemModArmor)
		{

			player.capabilities.allowFlying = true;

		} 
	}
	else if (!player.capabilities.isCreativeMode)
	{
		player.capabilities.allowFlying = false;
	}
}

}

 

Armor class

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.EnumArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.EnumHelper;

public class ItemModArmor extends ItemArmor
{
public static final EnumArmorMaterial ModArmor = EnumHelper
		.addArmorMaterial("ModArmor", 9001, new int[]{1,2,3,4}, 42);


public ItemModArmor(int par1, EnumArmorMaterial par2EnumArmorMaterial, int par3, int par4)
{
	super(par1, par2EnumArmorMaterial, par3, par4);
}
}

 

Common Proxy

import mods.gaspoweredstick.code.handlers.PlayerTickHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.TickRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

public class CommonProxy
{
public void registerHandlers()
{
	TickRegistry.registerTickHandler(new PlayerTickHandler(), Side.SERVER);
}
}

 

Client Proxy

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.TickRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import mods.gaspoweredstick.code.common.CommonProxy;
import mods.gaspoweredstick.code.handlers.PlayerTickHandler;

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy
{
@Override
public void registerHandlers()
{
	TickRegistry.registerTickHandler(new PlayerTickHandler(), Side.SERVER);
	TickRegistry.registerTickHandler(new PlayerTickHandler(), Side.CLIENT);
}

}

you need to set it in the onArmorUpdateTick method in the armor's item class.

doesn't disable after the armor has been removed...

Ask the Gravitysuit maker how he solved the problem.

Maybe he has a way. And if you want a realistic Flying (like with a jetpack)

than you could look into the IC2 Sources they have it.

 

The bad thing is google which comes at 1.4 (maybe bevor) so you only can get the 1.2 source^^ better than nothing^^"

I fixed it... The first time when i had it based off of Yagoki's classes I didn't realize the armor was based off of one class when we have individual classes for them... Thanks for you help!!1
