Hey all,

 

I'm a developer from Bukkit/Spout who wanted to try out Forge, and I had a few questions.

 

First of all, how do you get a living entity that is in your line of sight? (in your target)  I was able to do it in bukkit by getting all the blocks in the line of sight and all the nearby entities in a range, and determining if the entities are within one block of the line of sight.  I found the player.getLookVec(), but I'm not sure if that's what I want.  Additionally, I found worldObj.getEntitiesAABB or soemthing like that, but I'm not sure how to use that at all.

 

Also, how do you move blocks such as I have seen where some mods pick up and move blocks (ex: Tornado mod, portal mod)

 

Finally, how do you make a block always face you when you place it?  I know it has to do with meta-data, but when I did it it doesn't seem to do anything, so I probably missed something.

 

EDIT: Also, can someone tell me/point me to a tutorial on how to generate structures in the world?  I know how to do ores, but was hoping to do structures as well.

 

Thanks

Hey there, welcome to forge, hope you wont be leaving soon

 

1

client side:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver

 

this contains whatever the player is pointing at

 

(oh btw i shouldnt told you, here in forge you have to deal with client/server side, but the advantage are worth it)

 

 

2 how to move blocks, well for the tornado i can imagine that the tornado itself is an "entity" (which btw with forge you can create your own) i guess it has a random chance to set a block to air and "pick up" the block (using entity rendering, you would render the block floating in the air but it probably wouldnt be collidable)

 

3 honestly the tutorial about metadata is pretty complete, try to play around with it and you should figure it out easy

 

ps: the tutorial will teach you a lot. try to look there first if you have a question because usually you can find the answer

      Death screen only shows the "You Died!" part

      By GPGPGold9393 · Posted

      The problem occurs also in 1.20.1 Forge, but with an "Error executing task on client" instead. I have "Sinytra Connector" installed. On 1.21.5 Fabric, there is no problem. When this happens, the chat message before the death screen appears gets sent, with an extra dash added.

      Can't get custom sounds to play. MC 1.19.2.

      Well, as usual, it was user error. Naming mismatch in sounds.json.  Please delete this post if you find it necessary.

      Hello Forge community.  I'm running into an issue with a mod I'm working on.  To preface, I can call /playsound modId:name music @a and I can hear the sound I registered being played in game. Great!  However, I cannot get it to trigger via my mod code.    Registration: public static final RegistryObject<SoundEvent> A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS = SOUND_EVENTS.register("a_world_of_madness", () -> new SoundEvent(new ResourceLocation("tetheredsouls", "a_world_of_madness")));   Playback: Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance(); if (!(mc.player instanceof LocalPlayer) || mc.level == null) return; LocalPlayer player = (LocalPlayer) mc.player; BlockPos pos = player.blockPosition(); SoundEvent track = ModSounds.A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS.get(); System.out.println(track); System.out.println(pos); System.out.println(player); // play exactly like the tutorial: client-only, at the player's position try { mc.level.playLocalSound( player.getX(), player.getY(), player.getZ(), track, SoundSource.MUSIC, // Or MASTER if needed 1f, 1f, false ); System.out.println("[DEBUG] playSound success: " + track.getLocation()); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("[ERROR] Failed to play sound: " + track.getLocation()); e.printStackTrace(); } Sounds.json:   { "theme_of_laura": { "category": "music", "sounds": [ { "name": "tetheredsouls:a_world_of_madness", "stream": true } ] } } Things I have tried: - multiple .ogg files. Short .ogg files (5 seconds, <100KB).  - default minecraft sounds imported from import net.minecraft.sounds.SoundEvents; These work given my code. No idea why these are different.  - playSound() method, as well as several others in past iterations that did not work   I would be forever grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction. I've looked at several mod github repositories and found extremely similar code to what I'm doing. I've also found several threads in this forum that did not solve my issue. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing differently, and why I'm able to queue sounds manually with playsound but the code won't play it (despite confirming the code is being run with the debug statements.)
