[1.7.10]Making Custom Tree grow with item of choice

[Electrobob99]

Like the title says, I have been trying for a while to make my custom sapling grow with something other than bonemeal. What I want to know, is what would I have to code in order to make my sapling create the tree randomly when rightclicked with certain item.. Like lets say I right clicked it with redstone for instance and It would grow.

[Electrobob99]

Thank you very much, this has resolved my dilemma. Now I have another question, how would I make my sapling capable of generating different types of trees. Similar to how oak saplings have chance of creating a giant tree?

[Electrobob99]

Ok, now I have a bit of another issue... For some reason, I occasionally get Phantom trees, where its blocks seem to stay solid and stay present until they are right clicked, or leave and rejoin world, any ideas?

[Electrobob99]

Ok, now next question? What could be the reason as to why my sapling doesn't always disappear when the tree generates, and sometimes disappears before the tree even generate?

[Electrobob99]

Show your code.

Ok:

 

public void growTree(World world, int i, int j, int k, Random random)
   {
     world.setBlockToAir(i, j, k);
     WorldGenFakeTrees obj = new WorldGenFakeTrees(false);
			WorldGenTreeTest obj2 = new WorldGenTreeTest();
			int treeChoice = random.nextInt(5);
			if(treeChoice == 2){
			 if (!obj.generate(world, random, i, j, k)) {
				world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
			 }	
			}
			if(treeChoice == 1){
			  if (!obj2.generate(world, random, i-2, j, k-2)) {
       world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
       }
			}
			if(treeChoice == 3){
				if (!obj2.generate(world, random, i-2, j, k-2)) {
					world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
			    }
				if (!obj.generate(world, random, i, j, k)) {
					world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
				 }	
			}

			  }

public class WorldGenTreeTest {
private int metaleaves;
    
public WorldGenTreeTest() {
}
public boolean generate(World world, Random rand, int i, int j, int k) {

	this.metaleaves = rand.nextInt(11);
	if (!world.isRemote){
		if (world.getBlock(i + 2, j - 1, k + 2) == Ids.blockFrass
			&& world.getBlock(i + 3, j, k + 2) == Blocks.air
			&& world.getBlock(i, j + 5, k) == Blocks.air
			&& world.getBlock(i + 3, j + 5, k + 3) == Blocks.air
			&& world.getBlock(i - 3, j + 5, k + 3) == Blocks.air
			&& world.getBlock(i + 3, j + 5, k - 3) == Blocks.air
			&& world.getBlock(i - 3, j + 5, k - 3) == Blocks.air) 
		{
			for(int x = 0; x <= 4;x++){
			for(int y = 0; y <= 3;y++){
				for(int z = 0;z <= 3; z++){
					world.setBlock(i + 2, j + y, k + 2, AMBlocks.BionicMass); //uses (y)
					if(x != 2){
						world.setBlock(i + x, j + 1, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3); //uses (x)
						world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 1, k + x, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
						if(x == 3 || x == 1){
							world.setBlock(i + x, j + 1, k + 1, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
							world.setBlock(i + x, j + 1, k + 3, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
						}							
					}						
				}					
			}				
		}			
			world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 4, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);

			//layer2			
			world.setBlock(i + 3, j + 2, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 1, j + 2, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 2, k + 3, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 2, k + 1, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);

			//layer3
			world.setBlock(i + 3, j + 3, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 1, j + 3, k + 2, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 3, k + 3, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);
			world.setBlock(i + 2, j + 3, k + 1, AMBlocks.FoliageArray, this.metaleaves, 3);

		}

	}
	return true;
}
}

Dang, Tis be strange

			if(treeChoice == 3){
				if (!obj2.generate(world, random, i-2, j, k-2)) {
					world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
			    }
				if (!obj.generate(world, random, i, j, k)) {
					world.setBlock(i, j, k, this, 0, 3);
				 }	
			}

Do those setBlock commands put your sapling back? As for the sapling vanishing, you set the block to air, then do all your checking. So when everything is done, there is a 50% chance of your sapling vanishing because you have 6 possible outcomes from your randomized and you're only checking for 3 possible outcomes.

I think so. But how would I fix that?

Only do world.setBlockToAir(i, j, k); when treeChoice is 1 or 2 or 3. (How simple..)
