Hey guys, i'm using forge, and i have a problem when generating a few blocks. The way i want it is that if you put specific items in an altars inventory, then the portal will build. This is all working, but the portal actually "isn't" there. I can see them, but the portal block is not working, and also, if i place a block next to the portal block or the portal frame block, it disappears. i am spawning everything from onRandomDisplayTick() maybe that's the problem? here is the code:

 

The Block Altar:

 

public void randomDisplayTick(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Random par5Random) {
	if(canPortalSpawn && !isPortalThere) {
		timeout++;
		//System.out.println(timeout);
		if(timeout == 1) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 2) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 1, par3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 3) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 4) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 1, par3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 5) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 2, par3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 6) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 2, par3 + 1, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 7) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 2, par3 + 2, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout ==  par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 2, par3 + 3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 9) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 2, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 10) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 1, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 11) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 12) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 1, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 13) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 14) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3 + 4, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 15) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3 + 3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 16) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3 + 2, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 17) par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 2, par3 + 1, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrGla.blockID);
		if(timeout == 18) {
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 1, par3 + 1, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3 + 1, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 1, par3 + 1, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 1, par3 + 2, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3 + 2, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 1, par3 + 2, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 + 1, par3 + 3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3 + 3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2 - 1, par3 + 3, par4 - 5, MethyrBlocks.MethyrPortal.blockID);
		}
		if(timeout > 19) {
			isPortalThere = true;
		}
	}

}

 

 

The TileEntity:

 

public boolean checkRecipe() {
	boolean bone = false;
	boolean pearl = false;
	boolean emerald = false;
	boolean powder = false;
	for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
		if (inv[i] != null) {
			if (inv[i].getItem().equals(Item.bone)) {
				if (bone) {
					return false;
				} else {
					bone = true;
				}
			}
			if (inv[i].getItem().equals(Item.enderPearl)) {
				if (pearl) {
					return false;
				} else {
					pearl = true;
				}
			}
			if (inv[i].getItem().equals(Item.emerald)) {
				if (emerald) {
					return false;
				} else {
					emerald = true;
				}
			}
			if (inv[i].getItem().equals(Item.blazePowder)) {
				if (powder) {
					return false;
				} else {
					powder = true;
				}
			}
		}
	}

	if (bone && pearl && emerald && powder) {
		MethyrBlockAltar.canPortalSpawn = true;
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

public void updateEntity() {
	checkRecipe();
}

 

 

Please help me out!!!

I don't see any issue with the code you've given, but it could be your portal block... Did you use the nether portal block code as a base?

is this going to be for one of your tutorials because i really need a dimension tutorial.I just keep messing it up.

Are you talking to me? I just joined this forum yesterday so I'm not sure what you're talking about... Lol
