Repairing Tools with an item with metadata

[Ethyl_Amine]

Hello,

 

I am currently writing a mod which adds, among other things, custom tools and armor sets, I am trying to make these tools and armor sets repairable in an anvil, however the item I wish to repair them with will have metadata, I know I have to override the getIsRepairable method in my tool classes, however I am unsure of how exactly to code it as I am very new to this.

 

Can anyone help me?

i *think* you cant have both meta and reparable as the item damage is the meta, but you can use the NBTTagCompound of the item to store the different states

I don't think I've explained it very well in my topic post, to clarify, the tools will have the normal tool damage metadata, the ingot I wish to use to repair them in an anvil will have metadata, is this possible to do?

ok :\ i know you CAN do it, but not how

but what you have to do is check the meta of the item before allow it to be used as repair material :\

sorry

no worries, least I know it's actually possible to do now, so it's a step in the right direction
