Implementing ISize

Started by TaeoG,

How does one go about properly implementing the size and weight mechanics on custom items? I've got it working fine on items that extend ItemTerra, but on other items simply implementing the interface and returning the proper Enums doesn't give any results.

 

Best I can tell the rendering of the information is called in the addInformation method in the ItemTerra class, but Eclipse refuses to tell me if that method is ever called by anything, so I'm super confused as to how this is implemented. I assume it's also important for determining if an item will fit in a chest, but I haven't gotten around to looking into that yet.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

addInformation is a vanilla method that renders the tooltip. That's what is going to display the size and weight information. If you dig through it, ItemTerra also should have a method in it that's using the size and weight to determine stacksize as well. As for fitting in chests or not, TFC containers already have specific size requirements and limitations. If your item implements ISize and you did the correct enum to set it to Huge for example, you won't be able to put it in a chest.

see, I thought for sure it was a vanilla method, yet Eclipse got mad at me when I used the @Override tag. I was able to cram a "Huge" item in a chest too, so maybe I've done something wrong. I'll take another stab.

Is your item class extending the vanilla Item class?

whelp, this is what happens when you code late at night. I was trying to implement it on a Block, not an Item. I've yet to figure out how to link an Item with its block representation when they're separate classes, but yes I was able to get an item to render properly and refuse to fit in a chest.

ahhhh, I had forgotten that GameRegistry.registerBlock had an option to take an ItemBlock. Thanks a lot for your help, slowly but surely this is coming together
