I want to know if there is a code which detects the way player is looking, so i can make something like this:

onblockplaced

if player is looking at north(-180 in minecraft)

then setboundingbox

else

if player is looking at south... etc.

any ideas?

I have this problem, when I place block facing one direction bounding box works perfectly, but if another one is placed(other direction) it changes first ones too... and also after reloading the game, bounding box is set to the default(1F).

 

I'm using this code

 

public static ForgeDirection getFacing(Entity entity){
	int dir = MathHelper.floor_double((entity.rotationYaw * 4 / 360) + 0.5) & 3;
	return ForgeDirection.VALID_DIRECTIONS[Direction.directionToFacing[dir]];
}

public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase player, ItemStack itemstack)
    {
        int l = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(player.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3;
        int dir = MathHelper.floor_double((player.rotationYaw * 4 / 360) + 0.5) & 3;
   
        world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, l, 2);
        System.out.println(l);
        
         if(getFacing(player) == ForgeDirection.EAST){
        	setBlockBounds(0.625F, 0F, 0.625F, 0.875F, 0.1875F, 0.875F);
        }else
        	if(getFacing(player) == ForgeDirection.NORTH){
        		setBlockBounds(0.625F, 0F, 0.125F, 0.875F, 0.1875F, 0.375F);
        }else
        	if(getFacing(player) == ForgeDirection.SOUTH){
    		setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0F, 0.625F, 0.375F, 0.1875F, 0.875F);
        }else
        	if(getFacing(player) == ForgeDirection.WEST){
        		setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0F, 0.125F, 0.375F, 0.1875F, 0.375F);
        	}
    }

 

I've tried using setblockmetadatawithnotify (stairs use that) but nothing...

anyone?

Don't use setBlockBounds directly - use the player's facing to determine the metadata for the block, like many vanilla blocks do (e.g. furnace), then override setBlockBoundsBasedOnState and use setBlockBounds in there based on the block's metadata.

 

Look at some vanilla blocks and it should make sense.
