Force a block to call isProvidingWeakPower

[ConsoleHack000]

So guys im trying to make a block which emits redstone power based on tile entity data. The thing is that it works but doesn't keep updating every tick so its just stuck in the same redstone state. Even scheduling block updates doesn't help. Here's my code.

 

TileEntityRedstoneTimer:

package net.net23.aregsroom.mc.lotostuff.entities.tile;

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.net23.aregsroom.mc.lotostuff.Constants;

/**
* Created by DeLL on 05/08/2016.
*/
public class TileEntityRedstoneTimer extends TileEntity{

    public float tix = 0;
    public int side = 3;

    @Override
    public boolean canUpdate() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void updateEntity() {
        if(worldObj.isRemote) return;
        tix++;
        if(tix>20){
            side++;
            if(side>6){
                side=3;
                tix=0;
            }
            worldObj.scheduleBlockUpdate(xCoord,zCoord,yCoord, Constants.rTimer,Constants.rTimer.tickRate(worldObj));
        }
    }
}

RedstoneTimer:

package net.net23.aregsroom.mc.lotostuff.tools.blocks;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.ITileEntityProvider;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.net23.aregsroom.mc.lotostuff.entities.tile.TileEntityRedstoneTimer;

import static net.net23.aregsroom.mc.lotostuff.Constants.tabMetal;

public class RedstoneTimer extends Block implements ITileEntityProvider {


    public RedstoneTimer() {
        super(Material.circuits);
        setCreativeTab(tabMetal);
        setBlockName("rtimer");
        setHardness(5);
        setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 1);
        setStepSound(Block.soundTypeMetal);
        setResistance(2);
        setLightOpacity(0);
        GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
    }

    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World p_149915_1_, int p_149915_2_) {
        return new TileEntityRedstoneTimer();
    }

    @Override
    public int isProvidingWeakPower(IBlockAccess iba, int x, int y, int z, int side) {
        TileEntityRedstoneTimer t = (TileEntityRedstoneTimer) iba.getTileEntity(x, y, z);
        if (t.side == side) {
            return 15;
        }
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canProvidePower() {
        return true;

    }
}

Any help would be really appreciated

Your tile needs to implement ITickable for it to get access to a method (onUpdate) that is scheduled every tick.

Use your updateEntity code in that instead.

Please, I beg you. Stop asking me to upgrade. Yeah ok I am using the mechanics wrong. Could you help me?

you need updateTick in your block class.

[ConsoleHack000]

Could you please elaborate?

[Animefan8888]

This is what is called when you schedule a update for a block.

 

public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random rand) {}

Yeah ok so it turns out that I don't need to schedule update ticks. I want to "update" my isProvidingRedstonePower every tick
