Changing the light value of a block depending on it's metadata

[watkins577]

Hey,

 

I'm trying to have a block that uses metadata to show whether it is on or not. When it's on, it should have a light value of 8. However there doesn't seem to be a metadata sensitive version.

 

Is there any other way to do this or am I going to have to use the vanilla way of having two separate blocks?

 

Thanks,

Watkins

In your block, override:

 

public int getLightValue(IBlockAccess iba, int i, int j, int k)
{
     int meta = iba.getBlockMetadata(i, j, k);
     if(meta == 0)
     {
          return 15;
     }
     return 0;
}

Thank you, I didn't even think about overriding the getLightValue method.

 

Thanks,

Watkins
