[1.7.10][1.8] .getItem() and metadata items

[PlayPrey 0]

Hello once again; Sorry for asking so many questions in a short period of time.

 

I have managed to get my mod to detect when something is smelted, however; I can't figure out how to do it with for example charcoal, or cactus green.

 

I tried (prepare to facepalm!)

 

if (e.smelting.getItem() == new ItemStack(Items.coal,1))

{

player.addStat(AE.burnFuel_to_receiveFuel, 1);               

}

 

The error is [incompatible operand types Item and ItemStack]

You are trying to compare an Item to an ItemStack (hence the error). You have to check the Item first (

ItemStack#getItem()

==

Items.coal

), and then the metadata (

ItemStack#getItemDamage()

== 1).

 

PS, I think

ItemStack#getItemDamage()

is called

ItemStack#getMetadata()

in MC 1.8.

Didn't you mention in your other thread that you have like 3 years of experience with programming in Java? Then this should not be a problem that confuses you like... at all. If it does I seriously wonder how you spent those 3 years.

 

To also check the metadata, well, also check the metadata. First check the Item like normal and then additionally check if the metadata is correct.

Thank you! It now works flawlessly

 

Also; diesieben07 ; I tried to say I had NOT touched Java since 2012 - So stuff is a little difficult to begin with. Im sorry about this.
