[1.8]Custom Rendered Block Rotation?

[DirtyDan_]

Ok, so I'm updating my mod to 1.8, and I have a custom rendered block that I want to face the player when placed down. The code I was using worked in 1.7, but in 1.8 it has a couple errors that I can't seem to fix. It really boils down to two errors in the block class.

 

Here is where the error is located:

public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase entityLiving, ItemStack itemStack) {
    	 int facing = MathHelper.floor_double((double) ((entityLiving.rotationYaw * 4F) / 360F) + 0.5D) & 3;
    	 TileEntity te = world.getTileEntity(x, y, z);
    	 if (te != null && te instanceof TileEntityNameHere) {
    	 TileEntityNameHere facedte = (TileEntityNameHere) te;
    	 facedte.setFacing(facing);
    	 world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z);
    	 }
    }

 

More specifically, the two errors:

TileEntity te = world.getTileEntity(x, y, z);

 

world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z);

 

If anyone knows of a fix for this, that would be great!

you need to use blockPos now, onBlockPlacedBy uses world, BlockPos, EntityLivingBase, ItemStack

 

getTileEntity, markBlockForUpdate also require BlockPos

Thanks

Raflex, onBlockPlacedBy is called after the block has been placed which is why DirtyDan can get his tile entity at pos. If you look at super#onBlockPlacedBy, it is an empty method.

 

Is there another method which can be overridden to change how the block is set?

put this on the blockstate code

 {
    "variants": {
        "facing=north":  { "model": "id:block" },
        "facing=south":  { "model": "id:block", "y": 180, "uvlock": false },
        "facing=east": { "model": "id:block", "y": 90, "uvlock": false },
        "facing=west": { "model": "id:block", "y": 270, "uvlock": false }
    }
}

 

And this on the block class

 

public static final PropertyDirection PROPERTYFACING = PropertyDirection.create("facing", EnumFacing.Plane.HORIZONTAL);
    
    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase user, ItemStack stack)
    {
	super.onBlockPlacedBy(world, pos, state, user,stack);
    	int dir = user.getHorizontalFacing().getHorizontalIndex();
        world.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(dir), 2);
    }
    
    @Override
    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta)
    {
      EnumFacing facing = EnumFacing.getHorizontal(meta);
      int colourbits = (meta & 0x0c) >> 2; // 0x0c is hexadecimal, in binary 110
      return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(PROPERTYFACING, facing);
    }

    @Override
    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state)
    {
      EnumFacing facing = (EnumFacing)state.getValue(PROPERTYFACING);
     

      int facingbits = facing.getHorizontalIndex();
      return facingbits ;
    }
    
    @Override
    protected BlockState createBlockState()
    {
      return new BlockState(this, new IProperty[] {PROPERTYFACING});
    }

Don't just post copy-paste ready code. It doesn't help anybody and nobody learns anything from it.
