My block cable has two meta datas: 0 = Insulated, 1 = Uninsulated, At the moment, my item drop method is this:

 

return (p_149650_1_ & 8..) !=  0 ? null : (this.blockMaterial == Material.iron ? Mitems.uninsulatedCopperCable : Mitems.iCopperCable); THE ".." Are to stop the emoji from appearing!

 

However, at the moment i've told it to set this.blockMaterial to:

 

public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, int meta){

 

switch(meta){

case 0:

this.blockMaterial = Material.cloth; <---

return new TileEntityCable();

case 1:

this.blockMaterial = Material.iron; <--

return new TileEntityUninsulatedCable();

}

return null;

}

 

Which seems fine, until you place more than one cable, it then makes all cables drop the type of cable that was last placed...

 

Is there anyway of detecting what metadata the block you just mined had, so I can set the material based on the metadata? Thanks!

How do I fully use this... I've done:

 

public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_, World world, int x, int y, int z, int meta)

    {

this.getDrops(world, x, y, z, world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z), 1);

return (p_149650_1_ & != 0 ? null : (blockMaterial == Material.iron ? Mitems.uninsulatedCopperCable : Items.wooden_door);

 

       

    }

 

But It dosen't work, Is it that I haven't told it where to drop, have I not overrided it or something else?

Ok, Ill add EntityPlayer player to it so I can do:

 

double x2 = player.getLookVec().xCoord;

double y2 = player.getLookVec().yCoord;

double z2 = player.getLookVec().zCoord;

Ill get the metedata by:

meta = world.getBlockMetadata((int) x2, (int)y2, (int)z2);

 

P.S I don't understand overriding...

For flips sake, is there anyway to get the blockmeta data of the block im about to destroy? If not then thanks for trying to help. 

so this.getItemDropped(Mitems.CuCable)?

 

?

ok

And change your sig, I can't read this thread because of that fucking image.

 

Also, learn about the

 tag, then you don't need to ".." bullshit.
