setBlock Neighbour Texture

[NoobminecraftModder]

Hello everyone

 

I want a block, that assumes the texture from the neighbour block...

I think I can do it in the Method

public void onNeighborBlockChange(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, int par5)

. But how can I get the block? I only know

world.getBlockId(x, y, z)

and

world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z)

but with that I cant get the texture from the block. I know that I can get the block texture by

planks.getBlockTextureFromSide(1);

. But for that I must get first a instance of the neighbour block!

How can I do that.

If something isn't clear ask me..

Thanks in advance for every kind of help

yknow minecraft is on a 3d grid right ?

 

so the surrounding blocks are:

x+1, y, z

x-1, y, z

x, y+1, z

x, y-1, z

x, y, z+1

x, y, z-1

 

and once you get the id of surrounding blocks you can do

Block.blocksList[blockid] which will return a block that you can use like this

block.getBlockTextureFromSide(1);

[NoobminecraftModder]

Thanks...

I write that

 this.blockIcon = Block.blocksList[i1].getBlockTextureFromSide(1);

in the onNeighbourBlockChange.

But than the texture change for all instances of my block...

[hydroflame]

yeah because there is only 1 instance of each block, so if you change one you change all, either use ISBRH or TESR to have each block renderered individually

 

then use world.markBlockForUpdate in your onNeighbourBlockChange because this will ask minecraft to re-render that specific block

[NoobminecraftModder]

Sorry I don't know exactly what you mean with TESR and ISBRH...

I googled it but I no result...

[larsgerrits]

TESR= TileEntitySpecialRenderer

ISBRH=ISpecialBlockRenderHelper

[NoobminecraftModder]

Sorry but I don't get it....

So I have to create a spiecial render class...?

How can I do that?

[NoobminecraftModder]

I have an other idea...

I set the texture with a variable and the variable is stored in a TileEntity.

But i have a TileEntity:

package Cerebrum.Basis;
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;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class TileEntityHiddenTrapDoor extends TileEntity{
   
public int texture = 1;

@Override
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound par1)
{
   super.writeToNBT(par1);
}

@Override
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound par1)
{
   super.readFromNBT(par1);
}
}

@Override
    public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, int metadata)
    {
    	System.out.println("TileEntity registriert");
    	return new TileEntityHiddenTrapDoor();
    }

And I want to create the TileEntity with this Code in my Block file.

But if I print out SSystem.out.println(this.hasTileEntity()); it's always false...

And yes I have connected the tileEntity in de MainClass File.

 

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityHiddenTrapDoor.class, "TileEntityHiddenTrapDoor");

[hydroflame]

tile entities require a damn lot of computing cycles + lot of network traffic, not recommended since ISBRH would be enough

the wiki has a couple of tutorial on it

[NoobminecraftModder]

Ok thanks...

But I don't know exactly what I have to do...

Can you help me again?

I have to create a own render for the Block?

And then? Isn't there an other solution?

 

[larsgerrits]

Cant you just use the getBlockTexture method?

 

In your case you would just do something like this:

 

@Override
    public Icon getBlockTexture(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z, int side)
    {
        int meta = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y-1, z)
        int bottomId = world.getBlockId(x, y-1, z)

        switch(side)
        {
             case 0:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(0, meta)
             case 1:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(1, meta)
             case 2:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(2, meta)
             case 3:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(3, meta)
             case 4:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(4, meta)
             case 5:
                    Block.blocksList[bottomId].getIcon(5, meta)
        }
    }

 

 

That would totally copy the blocks texture underneath, to change that, play a little bit with the bottomId.

[NoobminecraftModder]

Yes I get the texture... My problem is to set the texture different to all instances of the block....

[hydroflame]

Can you help me again?

I have to create a own render for the Block?

Isn't there an other solution?

yes, yes, no

[NoobminecraftModder]

Can I copy the renderer from RenderBlock or something?

I can't find the tutorial that I've found yesterday

[NoobminecraftModder]

Sorry can someone help me to create the custom Render Class...

Yes I tried it my self and I asked google.

But at the moment I can't get the solution...

[hydroflame]

Yes I tried it my self

what exactly did you do.

 

because registering a ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler isnt particularelly hard, unless you lack the basic java knowledge to naviguate the code :\

 

did you create the new class ?

did you try to register it ?

did you debug a little to see where it could fail ?

[NoobminecraftModder]

I've created the ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler class...

But when I run the game the block was rendered invisible.

[hydroflame]

ahh, ok, well thats a good starting point, now whats the content of this class ? because if theres nothing well .. no this its going to be all invisible

 

also did you look on the wiki for the tessellator tutorial ? and the ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler tutorial ?

[NoobminecraftModder]

Er...the content of the class?

Empty

The  ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler tutorial I haven't looked at it...I will do it now.

[hydroflame]

ok... well not to be mean but you are kinda taking this code

 

public static void doStuff(){
//tottally empty
}

 

and expecting it to print "hello world"

 

of course if you dont ask it anything it wont do anything, its a computer, its completelly void of any intelligence, it will do exactly what you ask it to (and if its nothign well nothign will happen)

[NoobminecraftModder]

No you're not mean...you're honest

So my block is a custom trap door.

I looked in to the trap door class and the renderType is "0".

So I looked in to the RenderBlock class and copied the method for rendering type 0.

My class now looks so:

package Cerebrum.Basis;


import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.EntityRenderer;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.RenderBlocks;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.Tessellator;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.Render;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import cpw.mods.fml.client.registry.ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler;

public class HiddenTrapDoorRender extends Render implements ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler{

@Override
public void renderInventoryBlock(Block block, int metadata, int modelID,
		RenderBlocks renderer) {

}

@Override
public boolean renderWorldBlock(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z,
		Block block, int modelId, RenderBlocks renderer) {
        int l = block.colorMultiplier(world, x, y, z);
        float f = (float)(l >> 16 & 255) / 255.0F;
        float f1 = (float)(l >> 8 & 255) / 255.0F;
        float f2 = (float)(l & 255) / 255.0F;

        if (EntityRenderer.anaglyphEnable)
        {
            float f3 = (f * 30.0F + f1 * 59.0F + f2 * 11.0F) / 100.0F;
            float f4 = (f * 30.0F + f1 * 70.0F) / 100.0F;
            float f5 = (f * 30.0F + f2 * 70.0F) / 100.0F;
            f = f3;
            f1 = f4;
            f2 = f5;
        }
return false;
}

@Override
public boolean shouldRender3DInInventory() {
	return false;
}

@Override
public int getRenderId() {
	return 400;
}

@Override
public void doRender(Entity entity, double d0, double d1, double d2,
		float f, float f1) {

}

}

But it don't seems to work...the trap door is invisible.

And with the tutorial http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler the block render not correctly. So I thought I can copy from the RenderBlock renderType "0".

 

[hydroflame]

yeah thats my tutorial, i dont do the "100% correct beautiful working code" i just research on how it should work and why it works, so you can expect code from my tutorials to NOT work...

 

But it don't seems to work...the trap door is invisible.

yeah, basicly the copy you copy pasta does nothing, look at the Tessellator tutorial to see how to render a face, then you should be able to figure which face you want to render

[NoobminecraftModder]

Ok thanks..I will look at the tutorial.

I just wonderig that the same code that works with normal trap door didn't works..
