SOLVED[1.6.4]need my block to disappear! how?

[demand12]

i'm a noob at coding, just to let u know.

 

i want to make a block. when placed in the world, after 6 sec, it disappears. i tried to come up with something my self. did not go well.

 

package Talimagics.blocks;

 

import Talimagics.mod.talibase;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class wallblock extends Block {

 

public wallblock(int par1, Material par2Material) {

super(par1, par2Material);

 

this.setUnlocalizedName("wallblock");

this.setLightOpacity(1);

this.setLightValue(0.6f);

this.setBlockUnbreakable();

}

 

public boolean despawn(World world,int x,int y,int z){

 

if(world.setBlock(x, y, z, talibase.wallblock.blockID)== true){

 

try {

Thread.sleep(120);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

world.destroyBlock(x, y, z, false);

return true;

}else

return false;

 

}

 

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){

this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon("talimagics:magicwall_block");

}

 

}

 

any ideas how to get this working? thanks in advance

You never ever put the client or server thread to sleep in a realtime game!!! You will cause major problems. Use tick events or a timer thread or almost anything else.

Use world.scheduleBlockUpdate. It will trigger a call to the updateTick method of your block after the number of ticks you specify.

 

thanks for the tip. but i dont know what to do with it. could you explain what i need to do with it

let me be more specific.

 

like i stated in my first post, i'm a noob.

 

1. there is 5 parameters in world.scheduleBlockUpdate(par1, par2, par3, par4, par5); i can guess its something with ticks. but what

 

2. do i just call world.scheduleBlockUpdate(); and then world.destroyBlock() or do i make a method for that?

 

i may have more questions but dont have any atm.

ok here is what i have.

 

package Talimagics.blocks;

import Talimagics.mod.talibase;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class wallblock extends Block {

public wallblock(int par1, Material par2Material) {
	super(par1, par2Material);

	this.setUnlocalizedName("wallblock");
	this.setLightOpacity(1);
	this.setLightValue(0.6f);
	this.setBlockUnbreakable();
}

public void despawn(World world,int x,int y,int z){
	world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, talibase.wallblock.blockID, 120);
	this.updateTick(world, x, y, z, null);
}

@Override
public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){
	this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon("talimagics:magicwall_block");
}

}

 

i know this is wrong. i dont know updateTick() at all or how to use it, same with scheduleBlockUpdate but i guess that is right. is it?

[demand12]

i figured it out. after 2 hours of emptying the internet for information

 

@Override
public void onBlockAdded(World world,int x,int y,int z){
	world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, talibase.wallblock.blockID, 120);
}

@Override
public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random rand){
	world.destroyBlock(x, y, z, false);
}

 

that was all i needed. thanks for the help
