Im trying to make it so that when you finish my multiblock, it renders a model, ive set up the multiblock correctly, but setting the boolean that allows the  model to render isnt working. heres my code:

 

multiblock function

 

@Override
public void onBlockAdded(World World, int x, int y, int z)
{
TileEntityHolomap teh = new TileEntityHolomap();
System.out.println("isMultiBlock called");
    if(!teh.shouldRender)
    	System.out.println("holomap tileentity is set to not render, checking multiblock");
	if(World.getBlockId(x+1, y, z+1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x+1, y, z) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x+1, y, z-1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x, y, z+1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x, y, z) == Lyoko.blockHolomapProjector.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x, y, z-1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x+1, y, z+1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x-1, y, z+1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x-1, y, z) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID
    			&& World.getBlockId(x-1, y, z-1) == Lyoko.blockHolomap.blockID)
    	{
    		System.out.println("Holomap Projector Complte");
    		((TileEntityHolomap)teh).shouldRender = true; 
    	}

    }

 

 

tile entity:

 

package codelyoko.Client;

import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.network.INetworkManager;
import net.minecraft.network.packet.Packet;
import net.minecraft.network.packet.Packet132TileEntityData;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class TileEntityHolomap extends TileEntity{


public boolean shouldRender = false;

@Override
public Packet getDescriptionPacket()
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
	this.writeToNBT(tag);
	return new Packet132TileEntityData(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, 0, tag);
}

@Override
public void onDataPacket(INetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData pkt)
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = pkt.customParam1;
	this.readFromNBT(tag);
}

@Override
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound tagCompound)
{
	super.readFromNBT(tagCompound);
	this.shouldRender = tagCompound.getBoolean("shouldRender");
}

@Override
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound tagCompound)
{
	super.writeToNBT(tagCompound);
	tagCompound.setBoolean("shouldRender", this.shouldRender);
}
}

 

 

Tile Entity render:

	GL11.glPushMatrix();
	//This will move our renderer so that it will be on proper place in the world
	GL11.glTranslatef((float)d, (float)d1, (float)d2);
	/*Note that true tile entity coordinates (tileEntity.xCoord, etc) do not match to render coordinates (d, etc) that are calculated as [true coordinates] - [player coordinates (camera coordinates)]*/
	renderBlockYour(tileEntity.worldObj, tileEntity.xCoord, tileEntity.yCoord, tileEntity.zCoord, Lyoko.blockHolomapProjector);
	GL11.glPopMatrix();
}
//And this method actually renders your tile entity
public void renderBlockYour(World world, int i, int j, int k, Block block) {
	TileEntityHolomap teh = (TileEntityHolomap) world.getBlockTileEntity(i, j, k);
	if(teh.shouldRender)
	{

		{
			System.out.println("Loading Holomap Model: Default");
			ModelHolomapProjector model = new ModelHolomapProjector();
			Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.instance;
			//This will make your block brightness dependent from surroundings lighting.

	}
}
}

 

 

ive had the block create the tile entity, registered it, bound the renderer to the tile entity, any one know whats happening? cause i dont

can you make println to see where its failing ?

well i can tell that the multiblock is working cause the 'holomap projector complete' line is printed. im not sure where i would put the println

Hmm i'd set a breakpoint at the place where you set the value to true and see what happens and what the server and client is doing?

 

Also using breakpoints you could make the program pause whenever the variable is changed, so you can see if it's switched back and forth between true and false

thanks ill try that

Hi KeeganDeathman,

 

Do you solve your problem? I'm having similar difficulties.

no

Well, my guess is it's something to do with packets.

None of my tileentity variables are being retained.

I'm adding packet handling code now.

I'll report back with how I go.

At the start of my onBlockPlacedBy I had

if (!world.isRemote){  onBlockPlacedBy

 

When I removed that it worked.

 

But, I'll probably sort out the packet handling stuff, anyway.

whoah thanks. Like alot, now i can do multiBlocks!

Awesome!

I'm glad, and kinda surprised, that I could help
