1.7.10 - Get placed TileEntityChest when a player place Chest

[Blackout]

Hi

I'm currently search how to get the placed TileEntityChest when a player place Chest.

To do it, I use PlayerInteractEvent, but I think the TileEntityChest is created after PlayerInteractEvent.

I see a very helpfull event list here : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/h777x7ugherqs0w/forgeevents.html when I search about similar problem in this forum, but I don't find how to solve my problem

 

Currently I calculate the placed block with event.x/y/z and event.face.

Coordinates are good, but I have always a null TileEntity and a Air block.

 

Have you got any ideas about how could I solve my problem ?

 

Thanks a lot

Use onBlockActivated() and the following line to get your data out of your TileEntity:

((TileEntityChest)par1World.getTileEntity(x, y, z)).datayouwant

But be careful TileEntity can be null and if you are trying to get a null TileEntity it will crash.

But in onBlockActivated() that  shouldn't happend.

Kriki, what are you on about???

 

You do realize you can't add that into the pre-existing blocks, right? So can you please elaborate?

I tought it was a custom chest. Oh well...

Thanks for your replies

Indeed, It's not a custom block

Well, if there is a PlayerPlaceBlockEvent or something along those lines, you could check to see if the placed block was an instance of BlockChest and then retrieve the tile entity at the coordinates of the placed block (this would only work with a place block event that is called when the player has FINISHED placing the block).
