[1.7.10] How to know if a block was placed by the player or by the generator?

[Frag]

Hi guys,

 

how do you know if a block was placed by a player or by the world generator? The reason I need this is simple. I created a block that has a TileEntity linked to it.

 

When this block is placed by the player, the TileEntity will rotate and face the player.

 

But when the block is placed by the World Generator, I would like to rotate it randomly.

 

I notice that the Block method "OnBlockAdded" is called when the block is placed by the generator. So I thought I could use it to set randomly its rotation right in there in the metadata.

 

BUT the same method is also called when the block is added manually by the player ...

 

So how could I know if the block was placed by the player or by the generator?

Make the generator apply the random rotation.

 

LOLL I still can't believe I did not think about this. Thanks diesieben07! I feel like an idiot now LOL

 

I will still let the question opened since it may be interesting to know the creator of a block in some case...
