[1.7.10]Block emiting a redstone signal

[FireHead996]

Hi. I have a little question. I want to do a ComputerCraft peripheral that emits a redstone signal when get a request from computer. I did a TileEntity that can be a peripheral, but i don't know how to make my block to emit a signal. Can you tell me what functions i must have in my block and tile class?

Here is a list of overrides you might want to focus on:

int isProvidingWeakPower(IBlockAccess p_149709_1_, int p_149709_2_, int p_149709_3_, int p_149709_4_, int p_149709_5_);

int isProvidingStrongPower(IBlockAccess p_149748_1_, int p_149748_2_, int p_149748_3_, int p_149748_4_, int p_149748_5_);

boolean canProvidePower();

boolean canConnectRedstone(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z, int side);

updateTick(World p_149674_1_, int p_149674_2_, int p_149674_3_, int p_149674_4_, Random p_149674_5_);

I have a problem with a canProvidePower() method. When i add this method to my block, i can't attach modems from ComputerCraft to block. Without this method modems are working well and communication between block and computer is good too. With this method communication is good only if block is next to computer.

That sounds like a ComputerCraft specific question (that is: what its blocks assume about other blocks).

I'm sure that the ComputerCraft wiki has information on how to connect stuff to it https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/wiki/ComputerCraft

 

Have you read it?

Wiki doesn't have any info about making a peripheral, but author of the mod, dan200, shared a doc about ComputerCraft API. In the meantime, i wrote a post on the CC official forum and now i'm waiting for some answer.

CC computers can emit redstone signals by themselves without any additional mods.

Yes. I know this, but i need some more possibilities, like Project Red cables, but controlled like peripheral. If it helps, i put a link for mod, that is 100% this thing i want get, but it's old and doesn't have new version.
