Cables

Hello,

 

I am trying to make cables for my mod Electricraft.

 

I have it set up to where the block detects if there is cables around it but I don't know how to detect if energy is needed and get energy from the other cables in the network

 

Block Code:

 

 

package com.electricraft.core.block;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import net.minecraft.block.BlockContainer;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class BlockCable extends BlockContainer

{

public BlockCable(int id, Material mat)

{

super(id, mat);

this.needsRandomTick = true;

}

 

public void randomDisplayTick(World w, int x, int y, int z, Random r)

{

 

TileEntityCable below;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y-1, z) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

below = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y-1, z);

}

 

TileEntityCable above;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y+1, z) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

above = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y+1, z);

}

 

TileEntityCable plusX;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x+1, y, z) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

plusX = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x+1, y, z);

}

 

TileEntityCable minusX;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x-1, y, z) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

minusX = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x-1, y, z);

}

 

TileEntityCable plusZ;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z+1) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

plusZ = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z+1);

}

 

TileEntityCable minusZ;

if(w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z-1) instanceof TileEntityCable)

{

minusZ = (TileEntityCable) w.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z-1);

}

}

 

public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World w)

{

return new TileEntityCable();

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

Tile Entity Code:

 

 

package com.electricraft.core.block;

 

import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

 

public class TileEntityCable extends TileEntity

{

public boolean isEnergyRequired;

public boolean hasEnergy;

 

 

public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt)

{

 

}

 

public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt)

{

 

}

 

}
