Hi there

 

how can i add a block ontop of the block that is placed by user?

 

thanks

jeremy

i kinda know that

 

but i want to place a certain block on top of the one the user places.

 

for example i have a firepit and when the user places it down the fireblock is automaticly placed ontop of it.

but how exactly though. theres nothing in the block.fire that allows you to set the location you want to place it.

i have tried to do it. i can make it render besides it, etc. but not on top. i think it could be causes its a blockcontainer. is there a way to do it with a blockcontainer and make it last forever?

	return false;
}

@Override

	return -1;
}

@Override

	return false;
}


}

where would i put that?

Blocks.fire.setFireInfo is for 1.7  not 1.6.4 sorry i should of said that

i got it to work with

 

        blockFireSpreadSpeed[this.blockID] = 0;

        blockFlammability[this.blockID] = 20;

 

the issue is it destroys the item after a certain time. is there a way to make it not destroy it?

I have tried that with no luck

 

public firepit(int id, Material Material) {
	super(id, Material);
	setHardness(0.5F);
	setStepSound(Block.soundGlassFootstep);
	setLightOpacity(255);
	setLightValue(1.0F);
        //blockFireSpreadSpeed[this.blockID] = 0;
        //blockFlammability[this.blockID] = 20;

	//setBlockBounds(0.0F,0.0F,0.0F,1.0F,1.0F,1.0F);
	//setBlockBounds(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.6875f, 0.9000f,0.6875f);
}

@Override
public boolean isFireSource(World world, int x, int y, int z, int metadata, ForgeDirection side)
{
	return true;
}


@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return new TileEntityfirepitsteel();
}

/**
 * Called whenever the block is added into the world. Args: world, x, y, z
 */
@Override
public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4) {
	super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
	//par1World.setBlockToAir(par2 + 1, par3, par4);
	par1World.setBlock(par2, par3 + 1, par4, Block.fire.blockID);

}

sadly it dont
