Hi,

 

is it possible to change the texture of a block dependent on it's TileEntity?

I have more than 16 different textures so i can't do it with metadata.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Yes it is possible.

 

        TileEntityChest tileentitychest = (TileEntityChest)par1World.getBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);

 

Alternatively you can make a TileEntitySpecialRenderer to render the TileEntity instead of using the Block Renderer.

Hi,

i can't see how this would help me:

TileEntityChest tileentitychest = (TileEntityChest)par1World.getBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);

But thanks for the idea of a TileEntitySpecialRenderer

Hi

 

MyBlock::
@Override
public Icon getBlockTexture(IBlockAccess par1IBlockAccess, int x, int y, int z, int side)  {
TileEntity tileEntity = par1IBlockAccess.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);

if (! (tileEntityChest instanceof MyTileEntity) ) return someerroricon;

MyTileEntity myTileEntity = (MyTileEntity)tileEntity;

int myHugeMetadata = myTileEntity.getMyHugeMetadata();

return myArrayOfIcons[myHugeMetadata];
}

Thanks a lot man!

 

Helped a lot!

Will test it now.

EDIT:

 

Is there an easy way of teeling mc that this block needs an update?

Is there an easy way of teeling mc that this block needs an update?

world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, this.blockID, timeUntilTick);

hard if i don't have the world but i solved it.

 

thanks anyways
