[1.6.4] Making the Block face me

[MajhenriquBoss]

I'm making a block (specifically a Stove) and I want it to face the direction that I'm standing. I think I have to use something related to ForgeDirection. FYI it is a TileEntity

I'm new to modding so I'm probably a noob.

Thanks in advance!

Look at BlockDispenser. You'll learn more.

 

{Method to Activate} : in your block class.

public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4) {
     super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
     this.setDirectionOfBlock(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
}

 

setDirectionOfBlock

    private void setDirectionOfBlock(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        if (!par1World.isRemote)
        {
            int l = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 - 1);
            int i1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 + 1);
            int j1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 - 1, par3, par4);
            int k1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 + 1, par3, par4);
            byte b0 = 3;

            if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1])
            {
                b0 = 3;
            }

            if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l])
            {
                b0 = 2;
            }

            if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1])
            {
                b0 = 5;
            }

            if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1])
            {
                b0 = 4;
            }

            par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, b0, 2);
        }
    }

Now all you got to do is register the textures on each side of the block corresponding to BlockMetadata.

 

Maybe next time you can look at HOW some vanilla blocks do that first, before asking

[denbukki]

and whil this work on a custom model block?

Hi

 

This link might help get some of the basic concepts straight  (the sections on Blocks)

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/p/list-of-topics.html

 

especially

[TheGreyGhost]

Hi

I'm using that code. Put it in BlockName.class file.

public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityLiving par5EntityLiving, ItemStack par6ItemStack)

    {

        int var7 = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(par5EntityLiving.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 2.5D) & 3;

        par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, var7, 2);
