Multiple bounding boxes in one block?

[Busti]

Hello,

How can I make multiple Bounding boxes in one block and how can I:

        1. Detect if one of the boxes is kicked?

        2. Highlight them all at once when I mouse over one of them?

        3. Remove the bounding box lines?

Edit: 4. Change them with the Tileentity?

 

Thanks ^^

Hi

 

Some thoughts-

What do you mean "bounding boxes" - i.e. which bounding boxes?  just the ones that highlight when your mouse is over the block?  or used for collisions as well?

 

I'd suggest a general approach of using a single bounding box that encompasses all of the smaller bounding boxes, then if a "hit" is detected, perform more extensive checking to see if any of the smaller multiple bounding boxes is hit.

 

You can change the block highlight code by tapping into DrawBlockHighlightEvent and drawing the highlights yourself (or none at all, if you want to remove them).

 

Best way to change the boxes with a TileEntity is to store the information in the TileEntity itself (NBT data).

 

This are reasonably advanced techniques by the way.  Are you sure you really need multiple bounding boxes?

^ I'd opt for this as well.
