[Solved] Activate Custom Portal with Vanilla Flint and Steel

[general3214]

I'm trying to activate my custom portal by using Flint and Steel, but all I get is Fire.

 

This is the code I have:

mod_MOreTrees: http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/9319d805

BlockPortalOreleans: http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/d570fac5

ChunkProviderOreleans: http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/8c1f1820

When is

public boolean tryToCreatePortal(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)

being called ?

"tryToCreatePortal" is located in BlockPortalOreleans. Here's the code: http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/d570fac5

I know where it is. How do you think I found the name and arguments ?

Now, please answer my question.

To answer the question in the op, I'm afraid you can't do it. The portal is created using code in the BlockFire class

 

This bit to be specific

 

    public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        if (par1World.provider.dimensionId > 0 || par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3 - 1, par4) != Block.obsidian.blockID || !Block.portal.tryToCreatePortal(par1World, par2, par3, par4))
        {
            if (!par1World.doesBlockHaveSolidTopSurface(par2, par3 - 1, par4) && !this.canNeighborBurn(par1World, par2, par3, par4))
            {
                par1World.setBlockToAir(par2, par3, par4);
            }
            else
            {
                par1World.scheduleBlockUpdate(par2, par3, par4, this.blockID, this.tickRate(par1World) + par1World.rand.nextInt(10));
            }
        }
    }

 

 

and it only allows a portal to be created in Obsidian to the Nether

so you'd have to edit the base class to get it to go to your custom dimension and then, I believe, you wouldn't be able to go to the Nether anymore

 

what you need to do is create your own custom fire class that will create your custom portal block and your own custom flint and steel to create the fire

I can show you a good tutorial for it all if you'd like

Yes,he needs to call tryToCreatePortal on his own.

There are countless solutions:

-have it in onBlockActivated

-have it in onNeighbourBlockChange

-use PlayerInteractEvent

-things i didn't think of...

I will agree with onNeighbourBlockChange.

 

That would be the most effective.

 

Try using onBlockAdded onNeighbourBlockChange. Do a check to see if the portal frame is built (will have to look in the two directions possible) then check if there is a fire block on top of any of the two base portal frame blocks etc.

 

I apologize for the strike throughs contradicting, I am horribly tired

Could I have an example of this?
