Need help with blocks changing depending on neighbours

Posted August 29, 201312 yr

Okay, so, I want to create a block which changes depending on if other blocks of the same block are next to it

Like with fences and redstone wire

If you've got redstone wire and place another redstone wire next to it, it changes to the line and the corners/crosses if you put more next to it

how does that work?

I know it's something to do with

    private void notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        if (par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4) == this.blockID)
        {
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3, par4, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2 - 1, par3, par4, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2 + 1, par3, par4, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3, par4 - 1, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3, par4 + 1, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3 - 1, par4, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3 + 1, par4, this.blockID);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Called whenever the block is added into the world. Args: world, x, y, z
     */
    public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

        if (!par1World.isRemote)
        {
            this.updateAndPropagateCurrentStrength(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3 + 1, par4, this.blockID);
            par1World.notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(par2, par3 - 1, par4, this.blockID);
            this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2 - 1, par3, par4);
            this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2 + 1, par3, par4);
            this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2, par3, par4 - 1);
            this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2, par3, par4 + 1);

            if (par1World.isBlockNormalCube(par2 - 1, par3, par4))

            {
                this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2 + 1, par3 + 1, par4);
            }
            else
            {
                this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2 + 1, par3 - 1, par4);
            }

            {

            {

            }
            else
            {

            }

            if (par1World.isBlockNormalCube(par2, par3, par4 + 1))
            {
                this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2, par3 + 1, par4 + 1);
            }
            else
            {
                this.notifyWireNeighborsOfNeighborChange(par1World, par2, par3 - 1, par4 + 1);
            }
        }
    }

and the textures are

    public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)
    {
        this.field_94413_c = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(this.func_111023_E() + "_" + "cross");
        this.field_94410_cO = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(this.func_111023_E() + "_" + "line");
        this.field_94411_cP = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(this.func_111023_E() + "_" + "cross_overlay");
        this.field_94412_cQ = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(this.func_111023_E() + "_" + "line_overlay");
        this.blockIcon = this.field_94413_c;
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static Icon func_94409_b(String par0Str)
    {
        return par0Str.equals("cross") ? Block.redstoneWire.field_94413_c : (par0Str.equals("line") ? Block.redstoneWire.field_94410_cO : (par0Str.equals("cross_overlay") ? Block.redstoneWire.field_94411_cP : (par0Str.equals("line_overlay") ? Block.redstoneWire.field_94412_cQ : null)));
    }

but I don't really get how it works

more in that I don't really get how it knows what texture to use

can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or explain how this sorta thing works?

The answers you're looking for are probably in here:

RenderBlocks.renderBlockRedstoneWire()

There is a section near the top that figures out how many neighbouring redstone blocks there are:

        boolean flag = BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2 - 1, par3, par4, 1) || !this.blockAccess.isBlockNormalCube(par2 - 1, par3, par4) && BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2 - 1, par3 - 1, par4, -1);
        boolean flag1 = BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2 + 1, par3, par4, 3) || !this.blockAccess.isBlockNormalCube(par2 + 1, par3, par4) && BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2 + 1, par3 - 1, par4, -1);
        boolean flag2 = BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2, par3, par4 - 1, 2) || !this.blockAccess.isBlockNormalCube(par2, par3, par4 - 1) && BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2, par3 - 1, par4 - 1, -1);
        boolean flag3 = BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2, par3, par4 + 1, 0) || !this.blockAccess.isBlockNormalCube(par2, par3, par4 + 1) && BlockRedstoneWire.isPowerProviderOrWire(this.blockAccess, par2, par3 - 1, par4 + 1, -1);
{etc}

par2, par3, par4 correspond to [x,y,z].

Based on these flags, the rendering code chooses the right icons to render (using tessellator.addVertexWithUV()...)

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me
