[1.7] How to spawn an entity using Key Bindings?

Recommended Posts

Hi I've been trying to make an entity spawn next to the player when a specific key is pressed however in the KeyInputEvent there is no world or entity so how do I make it so when I press a certain button an entity spawns, or do I have to use a different event completely. It's not much help but here is my KeyInputEvent code

 

Code:

public class KeyHandler 
{
public boolean isAttacking = false;
World world;
EntityPlayer player;

private static Key getPressedKeybinding()
{
	if (KeyBindings.attack.isPressed())
	{
		return Key.ATTACK;
	}
	return Key.UKNOWN;
}
@SubscribeEvent
public void handleKeyInputEvent(InputEvent.KeyInputEvent event)
{
	if (KeyBindings.attack.isPressed())
	{
		isAttacking = true;

	}
}
}

Keys are client-side. Client can't spawn anything.

 

You need to send packet to server telling "this player clicked button".

Packet can only contain button id or even noting is button would be static.

 

On server (handler side) you will get player from  packet itself (server knows who sent packet) and spawn entity there.

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

So I've mannaged to get SimpleNetworkWrapper working but the only place to execute the spawn entity code is here:

 

code:

@Override
public IMessage onMessage(EMMessage message, MessageContext context)
{

	return null; 
}

 

So once again there is no world or player so how do I execute the spawn entity code

Everything you need you can get from the MessageContext. It is smart to put the things you wanna make in a new thread like this:

IThreadListener mainThread = (WorldServer) ctx.getServerHandler().playerEntity.worldObj;
	mainThread.addScheduledTask(new Runnable() {
		World world = ctx.getServerHandler().playerEntity.worldObj;

		@Override
		public void run() {

		}
	});

	return null;
