[1.8]How to access and edit, adjacent tile entities.

[Termin8or]

Basically I'm making a generator and I want to know how to go about sharing power with an adjacent Electric Machine. I've had a look in the TileHopper class but I don't understand the new enumfacing and most of it's methods have stupid names. If you can please provide sample code.

Thank you, that's very helpful, just one more thing do you know how i would go about interrogating a tileentity

Ok so ive got it to look for adjacent blocks and give it power if it can, but if i make my furnace extend TileMachineBase i get a ticking entity crash.

Not sure why it worked when only the macerator was an instanceof TileMachineBase, but not now that both the macerator and furnace are.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell which line in your pasted code is TileFuelGenerator.java line 366.

I found it, it was because I had if (machine != null & machine.canAcceptPower())

if machine was null it still tried to see if it could accept power.

Yeah, don't use bitwise AND unless you know what you're doing.  Eclipse should throw an error...
