Find Block Anywhere in World (or a workaround)

[TricliniumAlegorium]

I though I had found a workaround to this, but I didn't...So, is there a simple way to find a block somewhere in the world? It sounds simple, but it wont work. I want to teleport to a block in another dimension through my custom portal if that block exists. If not, create that block. I have the create a block working, but it always goes to that creating multiple instances of that block in the world right next to each other. It wont recognize that the block exists...Any Help?

There was originally a thread by me, and I thought I found a workaround so I closed it. Now I realized it doesn't work. Right now I am using :

 

if(worldserver.getBlock(entity.chunkCoordX, entity.chunkCoordY, entity.chunkCoordZ) instanceof MyPortal)

 

It doesn't work

You are checking for a block at the chunk coord, not the player's coord. Check at the player's coord.

Also, don't close your thread if you think you've figured it out. Keep it there so people can learn from it.

When I do entity.posX, entity.posY, and entity.posZ, it gives me an error, becuase those are doubles but getBlock needs integers.

 

Also, I didn't realize that, next time I will keep my thread open

Learn Java. Learn how to cast. Then, it won't be an issue.

I did that, And I even put a println to see if it works and it doesnt do it

 

if(worldserver.getBlock((int)entity.posX, (int)entity.posY, (int)entity.posZ) instanceof HeavenPortal){

    System.out.println("Hello199282");

Then it's not being called. (I'd also make it:

 

(int)Math.floor(entity.posX)

 

to avoid rounding issues)

 

Is the method being called at all?

It is inside the onEntityCollidedWithBlock, which I know works because I can add the teleport line of code and it teleports the player to another dimension when they walk into the block. It just isn't working with this...

Try to print out the name of the block that you do get at that position.

 

Also, if you have it in onEntityCollidedWithBlock why would you check the entity position?  Wouldn't the entity position be same as the block that it just collided with?

 

(Aside: do you really want all entities to be teleported?  If not you might want to check that the entity is a player entity as well.)

About the onEntityCollidedWithBlock ith block method: yes, the round-of values are thesame coords, but the posX,posY and posZ are doubles so they can be like 6.333, which means it's about a third on that coordinate, so you can be a bit more specific, In this case it might not be useful, but it could be for others.
