Hey,

Im trying to make alfheim portalish multiblock and i have 2 blocks 1.obsidianlampoff 2.obsidianlampon

and when the blocks are in place the obsidianlampoff will become obsidianlampon...

 

Obsidian Lamp On

 

 

package kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.blockitems;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.help.Reference;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class ObsidianLampOn extends Block {

 

public ObsidianLampOn(Material rock,String name) {

super(rock);

this.setBlockName(name);

this.setBlockTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":" + "ObsidianLampOn");

this.setLightLevel(1F);

}

 

}

 

 

 

Obsidian Lamp Off

 

 

package kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.blockitems.blocks;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.blockitems.BlockItem;

import kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.help.Reference;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class ObsidianLampOff extends Block {

 

public ObsidianLampOff(Material rock, String name) {

super(rock);

this.setBlockName(name);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

this.setBlockTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":" + "ObsidianLampOff");

}

 

public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block block) {

if(!world.isRemote) {

if(world.getBlock(x, y,    z - 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y,    z + 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 1, z - 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 2, z - 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z - 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z)    == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z + 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 1, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 2, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

  world.getBlock(x, y + 3, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian) {

System.out.println("Something REALLY Quite COOL");

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOn);

}

}

}

}

 

 

 

Im gonna check if there is air block later on and then make the acutal portal class but first i need to get basics to work

System.out.println("Something REALLY Quite COOL"); isNOT printing out and the block isnt changing to lampon.

Any help appreciated thanks in advance.

 

 

Double check and yes they are

Okey so i was testing a little bit and i have added onBlockAdded and onblockUpdate but my problem is when im breaking one of the obsidians on the side it will still be on

 

heres the code :

 

 

package kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.blockitems.blocks;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.blockitems.BlockItem;

import kakesrevenge.nonetherneeded.help.Reference;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

public class ObsidianLampOff extends Block {

 

public ObsidianLampOff(Material rock, String name) {

super(rock);

this.setBlockName(name);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

this.setBlockTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":" + "ObsidianLampOff");

}

 

public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int x, int y, int z, Block block) {

if(!world.isRemote && this.checkNetherGate(world,x,y,z) == true) {

System.out.println("Something REALLY Quite COOL");

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOn);

} else if (this.checkNetherGate(world,x,y,z) == false) {

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOff);

}

}

 

public void onBlockAdded (World world, int x, int y, int z) {

if(!world.isRemote && this.checkNetherGate(world, x, y, z) == true) {

System.out.println("Something REALLY Quite COOL");

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOn);

} else if (this.checkNetherGate(world,x,y,z) == false) {

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOff);

}

}

 

public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random random) {

if(!world.isRemote && this.checkNetherGate(world, x, y, z) == true) {

System.out.println("Something REALLY Quite COOL");

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOn);

} else if (this.checkNetherGate(world,x,y,z) == false) {

world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockItem.ObsidianLampOff);

}

}

 

private boolean checkNetherGate(World world, int x, int y, int z) {

if( world.getBlock(x, y,    z - 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

    world.getBlock(x, y,    z + 1) == Blocks.obsidian

    /*//Left

world.getBlock(x, y + 1, z - 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 2, z - 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 3, z - 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

            //Right

world.getBlock(x, y + 1, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 2, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 3, z + 2) == Blocks.obsidian &&

//upper part

world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z)    == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z - 1) == Blocks.obsidian &&

world.getBlock(x, y + 4, z + 1) == Blocks.obsidian*/) {

return true;

}

return false;

}

}

 

 

 

As the codes from OnBlockAdded and onNeighborChanged looks fine to me, I wonder if the CheckNetherGate methode returns the right values.

 

Although it looks pretty compact I still have questions about it.

- why don't you use block metaData to determine wich side should be checked?

- Also why are the numbers that high? World.getBlock(x, y+4, y-1) wil check the block thats 4 blocks above and one block to the south!

- and if you still want it to be  compact(but working) why dont you try ForgeDirections?

 

 

1. How ?

2. because the portal is big

3. How to use ForgeDirections ?

I think I didnt realize it was an actual portal, Im sorry.

 

Anyway, there are still a few things you need to do in order to make this work. first you need to consider if the block in qeustion should always be on the bottem in the middle, or if it may be anywhere in the portal.(which require a lot more checking!)

 

Although I sugested using metaData or forgeDirections, I wouldnt mess with it indeed

 

If the block may only be on the middle bottem spot:

Check if blocks are in place for these 2 situations

- portal is facing the X-direction

- portal is facing the Y-direction

 

if the block may be anywhere:

It would require to check for each individueel spot if the portal is correct, for the 2 ways a portal can face! Wich means you need to check for 3x4x2=24 different cases if an portal is correct!

Although it isn't impossible to code it, I wouldn't recommend calling this methode each tick (as you do right now)

Although it isn't impossible to code it, I wouldn't recommend calling this methode each tick (as you do right now)

 

1) He's not calling it every tick.  Blocks get random update ticks, and his isn't set to tick randomly and he's not calling ScheduleUpdateTick anywhere, so his updateTick method isn't being called.

 

2) Even if he was, checking the block volume of a 5x5x5 region doesn't take that long.  It takes ~0.6ms to scan an entire chunk.
