[1.9.4] Redstone connecting to custom bluestone

[MCrafterzz]

Hello, I have made a custom redstone named bluestone. It works perfectly except that it connect to redstone. Please reply if you know a sollution for this problem. My code:

Noone have no idea how redstone works?

Well, I guess that before anyone is willing to help you, you should make your code readable. Try putting code-tags around your code, or better yet, put it to pastebin. Then we shall talk about your problem.

 

Also, be patient. It has been 2 hours since you started this thread and you are already bumping it.

Added pastebin link

Let me guess:

 

Your problem is not that your block connects to redstone, but that redstone connects to your block.

 

Am I correct?

[MCrafterzz]

Proberly, is there a way to fix that?

[Draco18s]

Not easily.  Redstone connects to anything that accepts power.

[MCrafterzz]

I know what code that needs to be changed in the redstone class, I just need to override it in some way.

[mlugg]

This is probably not the best way, but you could somehow stop redstone being registered as an item, and instead initialise it as a class you mak by cloning the redstone dust class and adding an exception somehow.

I created a new redstone class ModRedstone and added this code:

Blocks.REDSTONE_DUST = new ModRedstone()

But I gave me this error message:

Can't convert from ModRedstone to BlockRedstone

[MCrafterzz]

I don't want it to connect to my block.

 

protected static boolean canConnectTo(IBlockState blockState, @Nullable EnumFacing side, IBlockAccess world,

BlockPos pos) {

Block block = blockState.getBlock();

if (block == ModElements.bluestone_wire) {

return true;

} else if (Blocks.UNPOWERED_REPEATER.isSameDiode(blockState)) {

EnumFacing enumfacing = (EnumFacing) blockState.getValue(BlockRedstoneRepeater.FACING);

return enumfacing == side || enumfacing.getOpposite() == side;

}

if (block == Blocks.REDSTONE_WIRE) {

return false;

} else {

return false;

}

}

The problem is that REDSTONE connect to bluestone not that bluestone connects to redstone, so that problem is that I can't change the redstone class.

[Choonster]

Redstone won't connect to your block if you return

false

from

Block#canConnectRedstone

. This is what diesieben07 has been telling you.

[MCrafterzz]

And how do I do that

[Choonster]

Override the method in your class. It's not hard.

[MCrafterzz]

Can you give me the code because the isn't any methoud canConnectToRedstone to override in the bloxk class that it extends

[Choonster]

Nobody said anything about

canConnectToRedstone

, the method is called

canConnectRedstone

.

[MCrafterzz]

Thank you it now doesn't connect to redstone but now I have a bigger problem it doesn't connect to it self. How should I change the code so it doesn't check if the block can connect to redstone

[Draco18s]

Gosh, if only that method took in a World parameter that would let you check what block is at the location...

[MCrafterzz]

So is it impossible ; c

[jeffryfisher]

No, you need to walk through the connecting process in the debugger and spot where one of your bluestone methods is making the decision. At that point, it should notice that it is looking at another block of itself and decide to connect rather than calling the canConnect method.

[MCrafterzz]

Ok, I'll test it

[MCrafterzz]

I didn't find anything in the console so could you maybe send a example?

[Draco18s]

canConnectRedstone

takes a World, a position, and a side as parameters.

 

Using super duper fancy mathemagical logic, you can figure out which block is doing the asking and figure out whether that block is Bluestone or Redstone.

 

It's almost like you'd take the side (possibly reverse it) and do World#getBlockState() on the position passed plus the side's (or its reversed cousin's) offset, then compare it to Bluestone.  If bluestone, return true, else return false.

 

The only tricky part will be figuring out whether the side passed was the direction that redstone is checking in ("I am looking north") or in the direction it's checking from ("I am interested in your south side").  It's most likely the latter.

[MCrafterzz]

Ok... very confusing could you possibly help me more exactly what I need to do. Thank you very much for your answer
