Hi all, sorry, but hopefully this question is a quickie.. does anyone know how to get the int of the side that was clicked during an onBlockClicked() call?

Here's the class I'm working on, apologies for the poor code annotation, it's a block of cork that can be moved with a mallet and if it detects planks above it, will check for a valid barrel structure (up next).

 

Cheers in advance!

import net.minecraft.block.*;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class blockCork extends Block{

	public blockCork(){

		super(Material.wood);

		setBlockName("BlockCork");

		setHarvestLevel("axe",0);

		setHardness(0.5F);

		setStepSound(Block.soundTypeCloth);

	};

	@Override

	public void onBlockClicked(World CurrentWorld, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player) {

		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		if(player.inventory.getStackInSlot(player.inventory.currentItem).getUnlocalizedName().equals("item.WoodenMallet")){

			System.out.println("Ow! what was that for?"); //Testing Mallet Recognition

			//Test side 4

			shunt(CurrentWorld,x,y,z,4);

		}

	}


	public void checkStructure(int x, int y, int z){


	}


	public void shunt(World CurrentWorld,int x, int y, int z, int side){

		boolean flood = false;

		//(whether or not to fill space with water)

		int OldX = x, OldY = y, OldZ = z;

		int ShuntAxis = (int) Math.floor(side/2);

		// 0 = Y, 1 = Z, 2 = X;

		int ShuntDir = side % 2;

		// 0 = Negative Direction, 1 = Positive

		if (ShuntDir==0){

			//Turns the 0 into -1.

			ShuntDir--;

		}

		switch(ShuntAxis){

		case 0: y = y-ShuntDir;

		break;


		case 1: z = z-ShuntDir;

		break;


		case 2: x = x-ShuntDir;

		break;

		}

		if((CurrentWorld.getBlock(x, y, z)==Blocks.air)||(CurrentWorld.getBlock(x, y, z)==Blocks.water)){

			if(CurrentWorld.getBlock(x, y, z)==Blocks.water){

				flood = true;

			}

			CurrentWorld.setBlock(x, y, z, this);

			CurrentWorld.setBlockToAir(OldX, OldY, OldZ);

			if(flood){

				CurrentWorld.setBlock(OldX, OldY, OldZ, Blocks.water);

				//Add Splash Sound Here

			}else{

				//Add Sand/Gravel Step Sound Here

			}

			if(CurrentWorld.getBlock(x, (y+1), z)==Blocks.planks){

				checkStructure(x,y,z);

			}

		}

}[/Code]

You could handle this event: ForgeEventFactory.onPlayerInteract(thisPlayerMP, Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK, par1, par2, par3, par4);

 

It happens in the code that calls onBlockClicked. The parameters might tell you something.

Cheers Sequiturian, I'm looking into that now and it looks very promising!

I'm hoping that I can register the listener inside the block code though, I really don't want to be calling any shunt() functions from the main class.

Hi, I know maybe it's too late to reply to your question but I've got the solution.

For the glitchy shadow you have to add this line in your constructor of your slab class:

useNeighborBrightness = true;

 

And to prevent the 0.5 blocks upper positioning you have to follow what says "MCZaphelon" in this post:

I hope this could help you and anyone else who have the same problem.
