So i have added new ores similar to emeralds (rubies and sapphires) and of course storage blocks for them, now how to i make it so that those blocks can be used to power a beacon?

override

isBeaconBase

and return true

maybe I typed something wrong but this

@Override{
	isBeaconBase;
	return true;
}

is giving me errors

yes ... yes...

i would expect that

 

[lmgtfy]how to override a method in java[/lmgtfy]

I know HOW to override a method the problem is WHAT i have to override

then if you know how to override it shouldnt be a problem to understand what i said isBeaconBase is a method btw

the method is void and cant return a value

*opens Block.java*

 

 

/**
     * Determines if this block can be used as the base of a beacon.
     *
     * @param world The current world
     * @param x X Position
     * @param y Y Position
     * @param z Z position
     * @param beaconX Beacons X Position
     * @param beaconY Beacons Y Position
     * @param beaconZ Beacons Z Position
     * @return True, to support the beacon, and make it active with this block.
     */
    public boolean isBeaconBase(World worldObj, int x, int y, int z, int beaconX, int beaconY, int beaconZ)
    {
        return (blockID == blockEmerald.blockID || blockID == blockGold.blockID || blockID == blockDiamond.blockID || blockID == blockIron.blockID);
    }

yes i figured that out after i posted my previous one apparently i was trying to return the wrong value, derp, thanks for your help.

Ok so here is what i've got

public boolean isBeaconBase; {
    return (blockID == PureBlock.blockID || blockID == RubyBlock.blockID || blockID == SapphireBlock.blockID);
}

but i am getting errors at the blockID's just before ==

I know HOW to override a method the problem is WHAT i have to override

really, are you sure

 

public boolean isBeaconBase; {
    return (blockID == PureBlock.blockID || blockID == RubyBlock.blockID || blockID == SapphireBlock.blockID);
}

thats not overriding a method

 

generic method

 

accessibility [static] [final] returnType methodname(arguments){
method body
}

 

public boolean isBeaconBase; {
    return (blockID == PureBlock.blockID || blockID == RubyBlock.blockID || blockID == SapphireBlock.blockID);
}

 

*input the "method" in my magic code claner/fixer/transformer*

public boolean isBeaconBase(World worldObj, int x, int y, int z, int beaconX, int beaconY, int beaconZ) {
    return (blockID == PureBlock.blockID || blockID == RubyBlock.blockID || blockID == SapphireBlock.blockID);
}

 

*relive ancient times*

override

isBeaconBase

and return true

 

*second pass of magic transformation*

 

@Override
public boolean isBeaconBase(World worldObj, int x, int y, int z, int beaconX, int beaconY, int beaconZ) {
    return true;
}

Ah again thank you everything works now
