Custom block does what it wants

[GodOfYeti]

I have a custom block which rotates depending on players direction but sometimes it doesnt give a poop and rotates in the direction it wants and when it wants

 

AngleVentPipe2.class

@Override
public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase entity, ItemStack itemStack) {
	if(entity == null){
		return;
	}
	TileEntityAngleVentPipe2Block tile = (TileEntityAngleVentPipe2Block) world.getTileEntity(x,y,z);
	tile.direction = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(entity.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360 / 4));
}

 

TileEntityVentPipe2Block.class

public int direction;

 

TileEntityVentPipe2Renderer.class

 @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity entity, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {
            GL11.glPushMatrix();
            GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);

            ResourceLocation textures = (new ResourceLocation(RefStrings.MODID + ":textures/blocks/angleVentPipe2.png")); 

            Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(textures);

            GL11.glPushMatrix();
            GL11.glRotatef(180F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
            
            //Custom Rotate
            TileEntityAngleVentPipe2Block tile = (TileEntityAngleVentPipe2Block) entity;
            int direction = tile.direction;
            GL11.glRotatef(direction * 90 - 270, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
            
            this.model.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F);
            GL11.glPopMatrix();
            GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }

How would I go about doing it with meta data

[GodOfYeti]

Could you give me a piece of example code so I can better understand

[Draco18s]

for(int ox = -1; ox <= 1 && inc; ox++) {
				for(int oz = -1; oz <= 1 && inc; oz++) {
					b = world.getBlock(x+ox, y, z+oz);
					if(b == Blocks.snow_layer || b == this) {
						mm = world.getBlockMetadata(x+ox, y, z+oz);
						if(mm < myMetadata) {
							inc = false;
							world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x+ox, y, z+oz, mm+1, 3);
						}
					}

ok and where would this type of code go, I'm sorry for all the questions I just want to get everything down

[Draco18s]

Where ever you bloody need it.  Seriously.  You want to know the block's metadata?  Get it.  Want to change it?  Set it.  The code snippet I posted is a chunk of code from my own project that is not useful to you except as a demonstration of how that function works.
