joaopms Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco18s Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 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.

joaopms Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 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".

joaopms Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/strings.html That and the related pages 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.

joaopms Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco18s Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 and the run the string like it was an argument. Eval() is evil. Do not use.

Draco18s Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Save the block ID. Block.blocksList[nbt.getInteger("thatThingIWantToUse")].getBlockTextureFromSide(0) Quote Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.
