[1.7.10]Rotating custom model depending on which side it is placed

[_Gustav0_]

I am making a fun little mod for "practicing my skills on minecraft forge", but i have come to a little big problem, i cant get to render a custom model the way i do. I want it to rotate depending on which side of a block it was placed(kind of like a button or a lever) but i don´t have any idea of rendering or doing things like that. I've been trying things, looking other minecraft classes but i cant figure out how to do it. Can anyone help me please?

 

Block Class:

As you can see i´ve been trying a few things but neither of them have worked . Feel free to correct anything.

Also, I don´t know if this is the correct category, please let me know

 

Thanks!

Have you tried rotating based on metadata

[shadowfacts]

Look at how the Vanilla furnace does it.

[INTENSS]

these are 5 methods from the vanilla furnace the does what I believe your trying to do. study these and toy with them a bit. 2 of these add the textures. This will set the block so it always places facing the player.

Along with metadata the easiest way to do it is place the code inside your model class, not the tesr.

Something I recently learned to do. Check this thread:
