[IC2 API] injectEnergyUnits() ignores the return value.

mak326428 · Sep 17th 2013

Basically, title says everything.
IC2 API's javadoc says that this function should return "Energy not consumed (leftover)".
I'm not sure if that's bug or feature.
Object lesson:

Code

@Override
public double demandedEnergyUnits() {
    return 512;
}




@Override
public double injectEnergyUnits(ForgeDirection directionFrom, double amount) {
    return 500;
}

The results are that 512 EU/t freely enter the device, however ideally only 12 should be permitted to do so.

Handling rejected energy is not implemented yet, it isn't recommended to do so anyway. Look at ic2.api.energy.prefab.BasicSink

Player, is this going to be implemented/made recommended in the future? Or is that "feature" on death row scheduled for execution?

i found that adding a overflow buffer, then refilling the internal buffer from that eliminate that problem.
When the overflow buffer is empty you request more power

Code

public void onUpdate() {




		if (overflow > 0) {
			if (_buffered < _bufferSize) {
				int res = (int) (_bufferSize - _buffered);
				if (res < overflow) {
					_buffered += res;
					overflow -= res;
				} else {
					res = (int) overflow;
					overflow = 0;
					_buffered += res;
				}
			}
		}
}




	@Override
	public double demandedEnergyUnits() {
		if (overflow > 0)
			return 0;
		else
			return _bufferSize - _buffered;
	}







       @Override
	public double injectEnergyUnits(ForgeDirection directionFrom, double amount) {
		int res = 0; 
		_buffered += amount;




		if (_buffered > _bufferSize) {
			res = (int) (_buffered - _bufferSize);
			_buffered = _bufferSize;
			overflow += res;
			return 0;
		}
		return res;
	}

I know this is a old post, but it may help others that have the same issue, delete it if unwanted
