Hey guys,

 

I have a metadata-based block, whcih has 4 blocks with 4 different rotations. So, meta 0-3 is block 1 rotation 1-4, meta 4-7 is block 2 rotation 1-4 etc.

 

Now, I want to set it up so I can use the pick block key (middle click) and get block 1 rotation 1 for meta 0-3, block 2 rotation 1 for 4-7 and so on - I don't want to get the extra rotated blocks.

 

Can anyone guide me on how I'd go about doing this? It's one of the last things until I can release the beta of my mod so really want to get it sorted!

Put this into your block:

    @Override
    public int damageDropped(int meta)
    {
        return meta / 4;
    }

That didn't work, but pointed me in the right direction. Because my base metas are 0, 4, 8 and 12 your thing didn't work - it was giving me 0-3.

Using this worked (for anyone interested)

 

    public int damageDropped(int meta)
    {
    	if (meta == 0 || meta == 1 || meta == 2 || meta == 3) {
    		return 0;
    	}
    	if (meta == 4 || meta == 5 || meta == 6 || meta == 7) {
    		return 4;
    	}
    	if (meta == 8 || meta == 9 || meta == 10 || meta == 11) {
    		return 8;
    	} else
	return 12;
    }

Then use this:

    @Override
    public int damageDropped(int meta)
    {
        return meta % 4;
    }
