I'm trying to get a texture from a block when you right click my block with a block in your wand. That works and it is writing the block name to my block's Tile Entity's NBT Data. Now I want to get the texture from the block from the NBT Data, and for that I'm using this piece of code:

Block.blocksList[stone.itemID].getBlockTextureFromSide(0);

Now I want to replace the "stone" with the block name from my NBT Data. Is that possible? Is there a easiest way to do it? Thanks!

Maybe.

 

We don't have enough information to help you, as from the code supplied and the description given, we do not know where you've stored the NBT tag or if that object is available at that point.

On my onBlockActivated I have this method to have access to my tile entity:

TileEntityIluminator tile = (TileEntityIluminator) world.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);

Then I have a string variable on my tile entity called blockName. I can read/write to it by doing "tile.blockName = "[blockName]". Now I want to replace the "stone" part with my variable, "tile.blockName".

Yes, but I want to use the "tile.blockName" like I'm building a string, so it should be like this (I know this isn't going to work):

Block. + tile.blockName + .getBlockTextureFromSide(0);

I don't know if it is possible, but still.

getBlockTextureFromSide does not return a String

getBlockTextureFromSide does not return a String

Yes I know, it returns an Icon. And I want to like build a string and the run the string like it was an argument.

and the run the string like it was an argument.

 

Eval() is evil.  Do not use.

So, do you have any idea on what I can do?

Save the block ID.

 

Block.blocksList[nbt.getInteger("thatThingIWantToUse")].getBlockTextureFromSide(0)

Save the block ID.

 

Block.blocksList[nbt.getInteger("thatThingIWantToUse")].getBlockTextureFromSide(0)

Wow, I'm so stupid! -.-

Thank you very much, you just saved me from a huge rage.
