Can I make Tickable tileentities update some functionality every several ticks?

Make a counter that increments every tick. If the counter hits 5, reset it to 0 and do whatever you want.

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

thank you for replying! are there 3 kinds of counters for ServerTickEvent, WorldTcikEvent and PlayerTickEvent? 

 Mind show me an example or just direct me to a thread with examples?

Those are irrelevant. Add the counter in your ITickable#update. My previous post explained how to implement this.

By counter, I believe DavidM is suggesting you use a type such as an Integer which is incremented by 1(int++) within update().

You would then have the if statement check the value of this Integer and if it reaches 5, set it back to 0.

Integer

probably an int, not an Integer

1(int++)

This is also the perfect place for a pre-increment with ++counter;

in your tile entity class


private int ticker=0;

in your tick() method


tick(){
ticker++;
  if(ticker>=5){
  ticker=0;
  //do your thing here
  }
}

 

1. Use the correct syntax highlight when posting code.

2. Post code with correct Java syntax or specify that it is pseudocode.

3. Don't just post solutions like that. Others can copy/paste without learning.

Others already explained it enough. He asked for example. And this your post is not connected with his problem.

1. Even if he did, you should not directly post the code that he is supposed to write.

2. Your example is bad both style-wise and performance-wise. This will set a poor example for others.

Okay I will delete my bad example then.

They don’t exactly “let” you learn. They force you to learn ?

What you say is ridiculous. I'll need to understand what you are saying so that i can learn, but most of the time it is really hard to understand what you say with out an example. For example, what i don't understand is "counter", it is a term that others may don't understand. you should say an int++ in update() can be a counter, or show me that update{int++ } is a counter. other wise HOW I'm I suppose to learn??

keep your example there, what DavidM says really don't make sense! People can LEARN WITH examples!

yeah, maybe the example is not that good, then you should tell others what is a good example!!! If you are a teacher then you are a BAD teacher with BAD teaching principle!!

1. If you need an example in order to understand "increment every tick and check if it reaches 5", then you should probably learn basic programming before trying to make a mod. It is a basic programming concept.

2. He is not giving you an example, but rather giving you a copy to copy/paste from, which is discouraged on this forum.

3. I'm not a teacher, but my principle is that people should learn instead of posting functioning code for others to copy.

 

4. a) add space to style code. b) use I++ inside the if loop to prevent multiple unnecessary references.

not everyone here is a professional computer programmer and you don't need to be a computer programmer to make a mod!!

I don't care how your principle work! different people got different learning principle, if you don't have the ability to understand that you are just simply toooooooooooo selfish! not to mention that you are imposing your principle on others!

the problem is you didn't even give me a proper example in your standard! and the code he gave me is definitely not gonna work on my mod if i just copy/paste it

You should probably, you know, learn programming like a good boy and stop telling others to give you copy/paste-able code.

Also, you focus too much on complaining instead of trying to solve your problem, so welcome to my ignore list ;).

my problem is already solved you dumbass! it's you being a selfish dumbass first so i replied. Since you are not being helpful i don't need your future help either, you are also on my ignore list
