Texture Rotation and Metadata

[DtrollMC]

I'm trying to get the block's front texture to orient itself, but the side textures override the front and back textures, and i can't figure out why. Here is my code:

 

package Futurology;

import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;
import net.minecraft.util.MathHelper;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ForgeDirection;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.BlockProxy;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

/*This Block is a very VERY WIP block. It will be the template for all of the other machines.
* Things that need adding:
* -GUI
* -MultiSided Textures
* -Rotation based on player's location
* -Interaction with Buildcraft power infrastructure!
* Some of this code was made by Domochevsky, thanks bud!

public class BlockForge extends BlockContainer implements BlockProxy {

public BlockForge(int id, int texture, Material material) {
	super(id, material);

	setHardness(5.0F);
	setStepSound(Block.soundStoneFootstep);
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

}

Day later... Anybody know this???

The rotateBlock method looks familiar...

Where do you use it ?
