override things?I'm learning to mod. I discovered something cool while attempting to make Bedrockium armor a thing (infinite durability, diamond protection, large slowdown, increased fall damage if I can get that working...). The second parameter when creating an ArmorMaterial, which the tutorial I'm following claims is durability, is (at the very least) also something that influences damage taken. Setting it to a negative value will actually increase the damage taken, which I think is pretty cool. What's more is that this fact is not immediately visible to the player; you can set the armor to have what looks like diamond level protection on the armor bar while simultaneously setting this "durability" value to be negative.
*rubs hand evilly*
Aside from the obvious trolling applications, this could be cool for a sort of "scout" armor that increases damage taken but also increases, say, speed, or berserker armor with a similar effect only with strength.
Actually, I still need help on that Bedrockium Armor infinite durability. If someone could help me with that in a PM or something, it'd be great.
Yeah. This is probably something everyone says when they first learn modding, but holy sh*t there's so much I can do. XD
couldn't you override it in ItemArmor? Or something else. Also with ISpecialArmor you could have a regular armor object to delegate to inside of it, making everything easy peasy. Then when you need to do something special you just apply it to the regular armor object. For example on attack you could set the armor durability on the regular armor to maxYeah. This is probably something everyone says when they first learn modding, but holy sh*t there's so much I can do. XD
Maybe this is just a good standalone mod idea - armors with various effects (or even armors that remove effects).
So, I've managed to get durability in the millions and protection that is diamond armor, as well as applying Slowness II whenever a player is wearing any piece of the armor (I'm currently working on having greater status effects for more armor pieces; it's shaping up well). As I said, though, there isn't true theoretical infinite durability, and it looks like there isn't anything to override. While it's easy with ISpecialArmor, from forge, having regular armor protection then becomes a chore to get working.
I'm now looking into directly setting the metadata to the max... I'll edit this post/post a new post if I get that (or anything) working.
I DID IT
Good job, these are the kinds of problems that are the bread and butter of mc modding, working with the god awful restrictions mojang sometimes hasI DID IT
I had to do some digging, but I finally found the thing I need to do. There's a method for ItemStacks called "attemptDamageItem()," taking an integer and a random number generator. The method onArmorTick(), which is specific to armors, has an ItemStack as a parameter, which I (correctly) assumed to be the ItemStack of the armor itself. So, I've set it so that every time onArmorTick is called, I call attemptDamageItem() on that armor piece, but instead of passing a regular positive number, I pass a negative number. This actually repairs the armor, which is awesome.
This results in infinite durability (and no ugly durability bars) for the armor. You can get punched by zombies, sitting with your inventory open, and you'll never see that durability drop.
Gnight, but this was not a talk about programmingEDIT: Logging off for the night. Fun talking about programming.
I was tired, and programming was the most relevant word that came to mind (the rest were all in camelCase...).Good job, these are the kinds of problems that are the bread and butter of mc modding, working with the god awful restrictions mojang sometimes has
trust me, you haven't seen the half of it
Gnight, but this was not a talk about programming
Mc modding...maybe
Damn lightning...I was tired, and programming was the most relevant word that came to mind (the rest were all in camelCase...).
Now... Let's figure out how LIGHTNING works!
What huh?See you when the modding API is released.
I'm saying that I'll get lightning working after the modding API is released. It's a joke, you see, I... Nevermind.

We need a new such thing since Guns'n'Roses released Chinese Democracy and Duke Nukem Forever has come out.
The Minecraft modding API is a perfect substitute
public class BlockLightningCreator extends BlockXF {
public static double lightningYOffset = 5.0D;
public BlockLightningCreator(String unlocalizedName) {
super(unlocalizedName);
}
public void spawnLightning(World world, int x, int y, int z) {
LogHelper.info("Lightning creator created lightning");
EntityLightningBolt lightning = new EntityLightningBolt(world, x, y + lightningYOffset, z);
world.spawnEntityInWorld(lightning);
}
//Create lightning if right clicked
@Override
public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int p_149727_6_, float p_149727_7_, float p_149727_8_, float p_149727_9_) {
spawnLightning(world, x, y, z);
return true;
}
//Create lightning if powered by redstone
//TODO - works, but lightning isn't rendered. -_-
public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block neighbor) {
if (!world.isRemote) {
if (world.isBlockIndirectlyGettingPowered(x, y, z)) {
spawnLightning(world, x, y, z);
}
}
}
}Yeah, this is nothing new...I can't remember the correct lightning code to get it to render...Google it?I discovered while attempting to code a lightning maker that lightning doesn't render if... Well, I'm not sure what the conditional is, but apparently a player needs to be involved somehow somewhere. My block makes lightning if right-clicked - that works fine - and also makes lightning if you give it a redstone signal, but the lightning doesn't render. The sound plays and fire happens, but no actual lightning.
The only difference between the two methods - onBlockActivated() (click, which works) and onNeighborBlockChanged() (redstone, which doesn't quite work) - is that onBlockActivated is passed an EntityPlayer, while onNeighborBlockChanged isn't passed one. EntityPlayer isn't even used in onBlockActivated, though... Which is why I'm confused. >.<
To top off this part-uncool-thing-part-bug-report-part-plea-for-help, here's my code (which I think is well-written, even if it doesn't quite work):
Code:public class BlockLightningCreator extends BlockXF { public static double lightningYOffset = 5.0D; public BlockLightningCreator(String unlocalizedName) { super(unlocalizedName); } public void spawnLightning(World world, int x, int y, int z) { LogHelper.info("Lightning creator created lightning"); EntityLightningBolt lightning = new EntityLightningBolt(world, x, y + lightningYOffset, z); world.spawnEntityInWorld(lightning); } //Create lightning if right clicked @Override public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int p_149727_6_, float p_149727_7_, float p_149727_8_, float p_149727_9_) { spawnLightning(world, x, y, z); return true; } //Create lightning if powered by redstone //TODO - works, but lightning isn't rendered. -_- public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block neighbor) { if (!world.isRemote) { if (world.isBlockIndirectlyGettingPowered(x, y, z)) { spawnLightning(world, x, y, z); } } } }
I doubt something so specific will show up (but I'll try anyway
). I'm currently trying to find where the Minecraft code controlling the rendering of lightning is - do you know?
Another thing about this. If the block is updated by say a block being placed by it and it is powered by redstone it will fire a lightning bolt. You need to store the last value of the redstone in metadata and check if it changed to trueI discovered while attempting to code a lightning maker that lightning doesn't render if...

I don't know where that would be...somewhere in the Weather controllers?I doubt something so specific will show up (but I'll try anyway
Trust me, that's not even the most egregious thing Mojang has done...have you read the #BlameMojang threadAnd yeah, I mentioned it before, but that was before I knew anything about modding. Now it's from a new, even more headache inducing perspective.
Hmm... I think rendering for lightning would somehow happen inside of the Entity renderer... So somehow lightning is treated differently as an entity, as far as I can tell, although I may be wrong. Do you know which mods add lightning code that works? Do you know if any of them are open source? Do you know if the authors of the not-open-source ones would respond to being pinged?I don't know where that would be...somewhere in the Weather controllers?

EDIT: I now have diamond level protection working, but not infinite durability. It's set at several millions of durability points, but that lack of true infinite durability bugs me conceptually.
