Hello guys, I have a question about the flags and how to use them when using setBlock

 

It says most likely we want to use 2, but using 2 I have a problem. Lets say I set a lot of block to air, and next to some of the blocks I replaced there was lava, or maybe water. Well the problem I'm having is that using flag 2 the lava doesn't know that the block it not there anymore and as result it doesn't start flowing.

 

world.setBlock(x, y, z, Blocks.air, 0, 2)

 

When I use the flag 1 the blocks still showing, till I try to place something there, then it gets removed and what I placed take the space.

 

Then I see the function description says, "Flags can be added together" but I don't know how to do that.

 

How should I do it, and what flags should I use 1, 2 or 4, all of them?

1 + 2 = ?

2 + 4 = ?

Thanks you guys  :-[ I had no idea it worked like that...

 

I'll make that for all the blocks I'm adding to the world, and also, I found a setBlockToAir I guess I will just use that when it's only air what I'm changing...

 

Thanks a lot once again.

Which, if you look at it, is just a wrapper function for 

world.setBlock(x, y, z, Blocks.air, 3)

Thanks for the tip, I think I should get used to take a look more into the code itself to see how some things are done "behind the scenes" :D

I would go as far as to say you should always check the source for methods you're calling because sometimes they don't work like you might expect. In fact some are actually mis-named -- like the Entity#getLastAttacker() actually gets the last thing the entity attacked, not the last attacker of the entity (because the lastAttacked field is also mis-named). And over time there have been many methods that have gotten abandoned and aren't used like you might expect.

Also be highly skeptical of the Javadoc.  world.getWorldTime() calls provider.getWorldTime() which returns the private field totalWorldTime which has the comment "stores the time of day, 0-23999" which is false.

(Note, I may have misremembered the actual names, but the comment is the important part here.  The saved time is the total time and is not bounded to 24000 ticks.  One modder decided that the javadoc was correct and the implementation wrong, so for his mod he decided he would modulo the time down under 24k, save it back to the world time, and use it like that.  I had to discourage that idea).

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
