[1.8]rotate your custome blocks based on steve facing like Furnaces do<SOLVED>

[perromercenary00]

Good days

this is a little long to explain to reach where mi questions are.

 

first , the 1.8 is using a new and more simple system to change the orientation of the blocks , i gonna use the furnace to explain whath i have

 

the Block state system

it let you just define how to rotate all the faces of a block in just one single json file, this mean that i have not anymore to define manually where go all te faces of block on every case of rotation like in 1.7 whith  getIcon

 

_______________________________________________
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {	
   
int tex=(meta*6)+(side);

//System.out.println("side="+side+" meta="+meta+" tex="+tex);
if (tex < icons.length ){return icons[tex];}
                     else{return icons[0];}

} // fin de IIcon getIcon
_______________________________________________

 

 

now go forth to 1.8

the furnace Blockstate file define 4 posible rotations simply rotating textures on the Y axix

 

~/.minecraft/versions/1.8/1.8/assets/minecraft/blockstates/furnace.json

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=north": { "model": "furnace" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "furnace", "y": 180 },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "furnace", "y": 270 },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "furnace", "y": 90 }
    }
}

 

the mojan's store this Values  in a custom  Object named "IBlockState" and this is the center point of this post

 

 

i create a custom multitexture block named girable looks like a red dice and i copy the furnace blockstate json for this block ,

~/Modding/forge-1.8-11.14.0.1261-1.8-src/src/main/resources/assets/modmercenario/blockstates/girable.json

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=north": { "model": "modmercenario:girable" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "modmercenario:girable", "y": 180 },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "modmercenario:girable", "y": 270 },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "modmercenario:girable", "y": 90 }
    }
}

 

the blocks load and all his textures are on place when i put it on the world and is a red dice

iwant this block to behabe like te furnace seting the face number 2 looking to the player no mather if a look to south or to the east

 

there comes again the Iblockstate object

 

if i wanna set in the world a furnace looking to south  i need the blocks.furnace object + the iblockstate of the furnace looking to south =  "facing=south"

 

thats the part i dont get and find hard to explain something i dont get

 

 

 

if there is a furnace looking to south in the world i can do a

IBlockState rot = worldIn.getBlockState(pos0);  //i alredy have the coordenates of the furnace stored in pos0

 

whith this i have a objet named rot which contains the blocks.furnace + the iblockstate="facing=south"

whit this i can put it wherever i wan whit

 

worldIn.setBlockState(posX, rot);

 

 

lets say i wanna put on world a furnace looking to east but there is not another east loking furnace in the world

or mi girable block

how i load the an object of iblockstate whit the value "facing=east"

 

IBlockState east = "facing=east" ; dont work, it contains Strings but not behave like an String object

soo idont find a suitable way to load IBlockState whit a custom value

 

 

or it musb be like

¿ how i get the fourth  IBlockState objets reprensenting the four states of mi customblock girable? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[perromercenary00]

this cost me a lot of time to figuret out

 

cos has become very more complex of what was in 1.7

 

to spawn this block in the world i must do call

 

		
IBlockState gira = MercenaryModBlocks.girable.getDefaultState();
worldIn.setBlockState(pos , gira);

// spawn it whith a custom orientation.

//looking south
worldIn.setBlockState(pos, gira.withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.SOUTH), 2);

//looking east
worldIn.setBlockState(pos, gira.withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.EAST), 2);

//looking up
worldIn.setBlockState(pos , gira.withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.UP), 2);

 

 

this is the class of one simple multitexture block

I have yet to see any sensible reason why BlockPostion and BlockState was adopted over x/y/z and metadata.  A modder still needs to translate from block state to metadata and back (or in some cases other states modifying values in a tile entity).

 

Texturing likewise got more complicated and as of yet there's no sensible way to register textures either.  I mean seriously:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(obliteratorAxe, 0, new ModelResourceLocation("perstools:obliteratorAxe", "inventory"));

 

WTF.

[coolAlias]

100% agree. I mean, I guess that it's cool someone can come along and edit the .json file and bam, suddenly your sword is 10x bigger and renders backwards, but I much preferred handling everything directly in code. Blocks are a complete nightmare now, and certainly do not appear 'optimized' - arguably the exact opposite of optimized. I'm hoping that we will see a return to common sense sometime in the future, but I fear we will be stuck with this nonsense...

E nop

i am the one suffering here but i get somethink

 

the are making it simply to not have to fuck up whith gl11 or tessellators but ,there is no documentation which would be very nice,  actualy i get the  idea, now is more simple to rotate and reescalated items, two days ago i found how to make layer textures whith the items and you can combine animated textures whith static textutes just defining in the layers in the json , i have the teory that is posible to use layers on block texturex and the key in the class snow layer but io have not realize yet how to set the layers in blocks json

 

 

suspensionderedstone.json

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "modmercenario:items/redstone/redstoneNIvel8"
        "layer1": "modmercenario:items/redstone/botellaVacia"

    },
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
        }
    }
}

 

 

in the other hand it will be nice if they make minecraft to atomatically register al the jsons in the models folder

and shorten the code to set which item/block has which texture in inventory

setTexture(ItemBlock,0 ,file.json);  //but this what i doit  in mi register class

At least the rotation isn't handled in quaternions.

(If anyone legitimately understands how to rotate things in quaternions: you're abnormal)
