I'm confused

#

i have a few questions

#

Let's stay on the jukebox example

#

You'll get a Map<Character, RecipeChoice>

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:32 AM

#

first: can you use recipe choices for items with no choices (ex: DIAMOND_BLOCK)?

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

it will look like this:
'W' -> new MaterialChoice(Material.OAK_WOOD, Material.SPRUCE_WOOD, Material.ACACIA_WOOD, ...);
'D' -> new MaterialChoice(Material.DIAMOND);

#

second: for things like the JUKEBOX, does the size of the material list of the recpiechoice stay constant for all items or is it different sized for the diamond and wood

yes

#

ok

#

brittle pond first: can you use recipe choices for items with no choices (ex: DIAMOND_BLOCK)?

the ChoiceMap of a diamondblock will look like this:
'D' -> new MaterialChoice(Material.DIAMOND");

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

wouldnt it be new MaterialChoice (list)?

#

list of materials

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:35 AM

#

imagine you have a ShapedRecipe called diamondBlockRecipe

#

one sec

kk

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

RecipeChoice diamonds = diamondBlockRecipe.getChoiceMap().get('D');
        if(diamonds instanceof RecipeChoice.MaterialChoice) {
            RecipeChoice.MaterialChoice diamondMaterials = (RecipeChoice.MaterialChoice) diamonds;
            List<Material> list = diamondMaterials.getChoices();
            // list.get(0) == Material.DIAMOND
            // The list doesn't container other entries
        }

ok thats what i was going to do

#

but im still confused to why you need to cast

#

and there's no direct method

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

maiden sorrel ```java RecipeChoice diamonds = diamondBlockRecipe.getChoiceMap().get('D'); ...

also im pretty sure chars in shaped recipe are unique, cause maps have unique keys

#

they are

#

brittle pond but im still confused to why you need to cast

ugh

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

abc, def, ghi

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

beause diamonds could also be an ExactChoice

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

even if they are the same

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

maiden sorrel beause diamonds could also be an ExactChoice

they are not

#

oh

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

How will you know that at compile time??

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

i understand

#

but

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

okay 😄

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:41 AM

#

idk something like getMaterialChoice and it returns null if its an exact? ok now i see why thats a bad idea

#

ty

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:41 AM

#

you're not thinking in objects and abstraction enough yet^^

#

like, the map can contain both (in theory), 'D' could be a MaterialChoice and 'F' could be an ExactChoice

#

but they all have to fit into one Map

#

so there's the interface that connects them

#

which is the RecipeChoice

#

Just imagine you have a table in your kitchen and you have cutlery on it

#

5 knifes and 5 forks

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

yes

#

i already understood

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

now you can do kitchenTable.getCutlery() and some of those will be Knife, others will be fork

#

alright 😄

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

for some reason i was thinking that exactchoices werent a thing

#

since they arent used in vanilla

#

so

#

that would mean that all recipechoices are material choices

#

so then why would there be no direct method

maiden sorrel Oct 9, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

yeah but plugins could use them^^

brittle pond Oct 9, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

yes

#

i realised
