[1.7.10] Weird onBlockActivated behavior vs metadata

[JeanLucJ]

Hello guys,

 

Using Forge v10.13.0.1180

I found out a weird behavior that I can't explain.

 

So, I made a custom block with metada.

I set Metadata with onBlockPlacedBy, it works fine.

 

With this code :

 

@Override
public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int metadata, float a, float b, float c)
    {

	int dest = (metadata+1)%idBlock;

	if(!world.isRemote) 
	{
		//Debug		
		player.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText("Local BlockNumber : " + world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z)));
		player.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentText("onBlock BlockNumber : " + metadata));	
	}
}

 

world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) returns the correct value.

metadata (from onBlockActivated) return value that could be correct ("random" metadata from previous onBlockPlacedBy), but they are not the current block metadata value!

 

I am missing something fundamental? 5th paramater of onBlock should be the metadata of the activated block....

 

Thanks

As long as you have the world and coordinates, you don't need metadata passed, world.getBlockMetadata is enough

The arguments are world, x, y, z, side, hitX, hitY, hitZ. There is no metadata passed to onBlockActivated.

 

Browsing on the internet, I saw more than once it was metadata.

Thank you

 

Well, mystery solved!
