Tile Entity not saving coordinates

[ColdFox]

My tile entities instead of giving me the coordinates when I do this.xCoord (for example), they give me always 0. What am I doing wrong?

[Draco18s]

Tile entities use this.posX

 

And unless you post actual code, we are unable to help you.

You need to register your tile entity for it to be calling readFromNBT and writeToNBT,so it can save the coordinates.

I've it on the load method

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(mods.MoreBlocksMod.BaseDownTileEntity.class, "baseDownTileEntity");

[ColdFox]

I also have this class, that I found that it's "reseting" the values of the tile entity

 

 

public class ItemRendererInventoryBaseDown implements IItemRenderer{

 

private ModelBaseDownBlock model;

 

public ItemRendererInventoryBaseDown(){

model = new ModelBaseDownBlock();

}

 

public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) {

return true;

}

 

public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item,ItemRendererHelper helper) {

return true;

}

 

public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) {

TileEntityRenderer.instance.renderTileEntityAt(new BaseDownTileEntity().setBlockTypeAndMeta(mod_MoreBlocksMod.baseDownBlock, item.getItemDamage()), 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0F);

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

When I don't use it, the values are ok. So now the problem is how to render the custom block model in the inventory.

Seriously?

 

That doesn't "reset" the values for your tile entity.  That creates a new tile entity with its OWN values.  When you're seeing the values as 0, THAT'S THE ONE IN YOUR INVENTORY.

Ok... my bad I was handling the wrong tile entities, the problem is fixed.

I still need a little help but it's not related with this thread. I need to have more than 16 subtypes of a block, the problem is that I can't use metadata, otherwise it would be done. Right now I'm using metadata, as you can see in the class above. It works fine except when I break a block with a subID >15. What can I do to make it work, so that when the block breaks it will drop the correct block?

You need to stop using metadata entirely.  It "breaks" when you use a metadata above 15 because metadata is a byte, so vales greater than 1111₂ will be truncated.

[GotoLink]

You don't need metadata if you have a TileEntity. Store the subtypes into the TileEntity.

If you don't want the TileEntity, you'll have to switch to a different block id, as metadata is limited to 16 values.

can you give me an example of what to do? =/

like how do I save the subtype into the TileEntity and how to do so the "block" knows what subtype drop
