Bonemeal-like item

just go into some sort of file where it consumes the item and add a boolean for the item

like if there is a universal file for consumption of items, or whatnot

no there isnt..........

im trying to make an item like bonemeal, but never goes away or gets damage

ahh that sucks

anyone?

I made armor that applies bone meal every tick when you're wearing it, so I went through something similar to this. I figured out that all you have to have is this inside your onItemUse():

public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, World par3World, int par4, int par5, int par6, int par7, float par8, float par9, float par10)
{
ItemDye.applyBonemeal(par1ItemStack, par3World, par4, par5, par6, par3EntityPlayer);
return true;
}

This should work like you want it to(sorry for the bad formatting/indentation), but I can't be 100% sure. I hate it when you spend hours trying to figure code out and the solution is as simple as this...

wait.... what the heck? it takes two away unless i only have one. thanks bro it works perfectly! now i can move along with the mod!

but it dissapears when i hit an enemy with it?

Hmm. If the method I gave you is the only thing you have for onItemUse() (but I made a typo, replace par3EntityPlayer in the ItemDye.applyBoneMeal with par2EntityPlayer), then It should work... I just tried it with one of my items.
public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, World par3World, int par4, int par5, int par6, int par7, float par8, float par9, float par10)
{
ItemDye.applyBonemeal(par1ItemStack, par3World, par4, par5, par6, par2EntityPlayer);
return true;
}

ok thats the only thing i have in there but it still takes one away D:

i got it! yeay!!!

Because nobody else really seems to be able to help, here's technically what you asked for.

These two lines are the ones that are removing 1 from the stack in your held item:

par0ItemStack.stackSize--;

--par0ItemStack.stackSize;

par0ItemStack is the first parameter of the function, and is a reference to an ItemStack (in the case of using the item, it's the item in your hand generally) - stackSize is, as its namesake implies, the size of the stack. The -- operator removes one (it is equivilent to n = n - 1); it can be applied on either side of a variable, however, to either apply the operation after or before others (postfix operator, for instance, would remove one before returning it down the chain).

They both do the same thing (remove one), although they used two different methods of performing the same task in a place where it wouldn't matter. Removing those lines would effectively make it never take any away.

thanks a ton P. and everyone else that tried to help

My mind doesnt understand code but i do have one suggestion. Google it
