Posted January 4, 201411 yr Is there a function or a way that will be triggered when a block reaches a specific metadata (let's say 7)? UpdateTick() can't be used since it's random update within a chunk (?). Any help is appreciated :>
January 4, 201411 yr updateTick() And updateTick is only random if you have random ticks enabled. You can also use onNeighborBlockChanged. The answer to your question actually depends on the answer to another question: When are you changing the metadata? 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. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
January 4, 201411 yr Author The idea is to have a block kind of 'flow' through metadatas. When a water block is above the block, it instantaneously turns into meta=7 through onNeighborBlockChanged. When this block reaches meta=7, it will start 'flowing' into blocks (same block) perpendicular to it, slowly increasing its meta from 1 up to 7. I haven't really coded it yet, it's just an idea. I might try using updateTick() (didn't know that information, thanks for the heads up :-))
