Chunks

I tried to get the chunk where a player is. But it isn't working. I think they changed something with the chunks?!

PHP:

$chunk = $source->getLevel()->getChunk($source->x >> 4, $source->z >> 4, true);
//$source is the player

 

That code should work.
what does var_dump($chunk) say?

 

This is the error:
(Vardump looks normal)

PHP:

 Argument 2 passed to pocketmine\entity\Entity::createEntity() mu
st be an instance of pocketmine\level\Level, instance of pocketmine\level\format\Chunk given

 

read the error.
you have to give it a Level.

There was an api change for 3.0.0-ALPHA4 that changed the way of creating entities, and removed their entanglement with chunks

Ok. And how can I create entities now?

 

please read the commit description in the link.
quote: All entity and tile constructors now require a \pocketmine\level\Level instead of a \pocketmine\level\format\Chunk.
okay, if that's too complicated for you how about:
https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-...c00#diff-9649873f1670ddd60984257dd0380943R524


still not clear?

PHP:

/** @var $source pocketmine\entity\Entity */
Level::createEntity($blah1, $source->getLevel()->getChunk($source->x >> 4, $source->z >> 4, true), $blah2);
//is now
Level::createEntity($blah1, $source->getLevel(), $blah2);


 

Yes. Now it works for me. And how can I give for example a silverfish a Nametag?

 

For setting nametags:

PHP:

 /** @var Entity $entity */
 $entity->setNameTag("Silverfish");


 

I already tried that...

 

Were there any errors? You may need to use this to get it to display:

PHP:

 $entity->setNameTagVisible(true);
