If powered new texture

[Thor597]

Im making a block where I want it to change texture if its powered by redstone

 

I dont want to make a second block just for a different texture

 

How would I do this?

[Thor597]

so if its powered set metadata to 1

and if not powered set to 0?

It worked, however because im doing this for a rail block it changes direction and shit when powered when this is done

 

can you make an example for a rail that changes texture when powered and stays in the same position? I tried copying rail code and crap but it didnt work, because BlockRail has a different kind of setup than mine since both rail and powered rail uses it

You have to do it yourself, its part of programming, understanding and overcoming problems.

You have metadata specific texture functions, you just need to figure out what to do with that meta to hold all the info you need.
