good days

im trying to make a block thath ticks every thousand worldTicks to keep track of day|night cicles to close or open a custom door

 

soo i was looking in the crops class becose that block ticks and find a method

 

//###########################################################3

    @Override

    public int tickRate(World worldIn)

    {

        return 1000;

    }

 

but the block is not ticking

 

for block to ticks i have to put in the constructor an

 

this.needsRandomTick= true;

 

but then the block begins to ramdomly tick  not every 1000 ticks as i wish to

 

######

so how i make this block ticks exactly every thousand ticks ??

 

this is so far what i have

First of all:

Blocks are not meant to tick that often, if you want that sort of control you may be better off making a TileEntity

This is totally true - make TE with integer counter, fire code every if (count % 1000 == 0).

 

The Block#tickRate method is actually never called by any internal MC system. It exists in Block class as a design choice (kind of an abstraction).

Lookup its callbacks.

 

Anyway - what you can do is use World#schedule(Block)Update on given blockpos and then when update is fired you can reschedule one after next 1000 ticks.

well originally i wanna make a tile entity this block has tile entity extended but how i made that whith

tile entityes if they dont'n have an

 

@Override

/**

* Called to update the entity's position/logic.

*/

public void onUpdate() {

super.onUpdate();

 

}

 

as the normal entityes

¿ or it have ?

hey

 

wrehe i use this

this.worldObj.scheduleUpdate(pos, blockIn, delay);

 

 

If you go with TE, You Make TileEntity implements ITickable, you amke field int count. You make an if (count % 1000 ==0) in update(). Now you run your code once per 1000 ticks.

 

If you don't want to use TileEntity - you can use this.worldObj.scheduleUpdate(pos, blockIn, delay);

You simply make a call and after "delay" it will call Block#updateTick. In Block#updateTick you can re-call worldObj.scheduleUpdate and basically make infinite 1000tick-loop.

yea

i wass thinking tile entityes was just for storing things

i make another tileEntity this one tickiable

but realize something else

the orinal plan was to get the world time and do something like

 

tiempo = this.worldObj.getWorldTime();

 

int hour = tiempo % 24000 / 1000;

int min =  tiempo % 1000;

 

but just realize than WorldTime is not synced whith day/nigth cicle if i do and an

/set time 100 

 

to set the sun to the first hour in the morning WorldTime is not afected so if i do an

if (hour == 6)

{

//is the midday

}

this would be acurated at all

 

to get when close or open the doors i need the sun position in the sky or well the value od the visible clock based on sun position or something

 

¿¿  some idea ??

 

 

BlockDaylightDetector is your friend. Lookup how dimensions (WorldProvider) calculates celestial angles. Note that different worls can use different providers - thus different day-lenght.

The daylight detector raises another opportunity: The game already has time, so you probably don't even need a counter, just a check against world time % 1000.

just fixed

imede the clock works whith the solar angle

 

float f = this.worldObj.getCelestialAngleRadians(1.0F);

 

worldtime is not synced whith th sun position if you the /time set comand world time dont'n change

and becoze this is for control the doors from mi custom settlement  to close the door at down and open again in the dust
