[1.10] DeleteBlock after 20sec?

[terraya]

Hello@All ,

 

im asking myself, what would be the function if i would set a block, and after 20sec it should get deleted.

 

	world.setBlockState(new BlockPos(x +1, y +1, z +1), Blocks.GLASS.getDefaultState());

 

and to delete i would use

worldIn.destroyBlock(pos, true);

 

but how to make a delay?

[Jay Avery]

There are a few different ways you could do this.

 

I think you could use

World#scheduleUpdate

when your block is placed. Then you can just set the delay for the update, and destroy your block in its

updateTick

method. (I've never done this, but it seems to be how redstone components get their updates)

 

Otherwise, you could create a simple TileEntity for your block which just counts ticks and destroys the block once the limit is reached.

 

If you are okay with the timing being slightly random, you could instead set

setTickRandomly

to true, and then have your block destroy itself in

updateTick

. Random ticks happen roughly once a minute but there's a lot of random variation.

hmm sound a bit hard, isnt it?

 

i was thinking about "Fire" ... i want to take a look on how it work/look like .. :3

 

becouse it disappear after couple of seconds too so maybe there is an easyer way ?

[Jay Avery]

Look at

BlockFire

- it uses several of these techniques together. It has

setTickRandomly

, then an

updateTick

method which sometimes destroys the block right away and sometimes uses

World#scheduleUpdate

to create fixed duration until the next update.

it look harder then it is ...

 

bcuz i see additional functions like "canCatchFire" etc   and im not so hard into coding ...

 

i mean, i learned all i know by small tutorials (only minecraft) :3

How fire works:

 

Every time it receives a block update tick, it increments its metadata value by 1.

When it reaches 15 (or its raining, or some other checks) it deletes itself.

public void onBlockUpdate()
{
  if (this.ticks <= 0)
  {
    this.ticks = 15;
    //DeleteBlock
  }
  else
  {
    this.ticks -= 1;
  }
}

[terraya]

Blocks are singleton-like, you have to store any data that should not be shared between all of the block in the blockstate ("metadata").

Why do you extend

BlockBush

?

 

In any case, you still haven't overridden

updateTick

, so although the block is getting random updates it's not doing anything when they arrive.

[terraya]

as written above, i extend "BlockBush" becouse its has to be a block where you should be able to walk through

Right. But BlockBush also does a bunch of other stuff which you probably don't want, like checking for soil underneath the block and various other methods associated with plants. If all you want is for the block to be passable by the player, then all you need to do is (in your class extending

Block

, not

BlockBush

) override

getCollisionBoundingBox

to return

NULL_AABB

.

Yes... like I've been saying all along, the

updateTick

method is what you need to use if you want your block to act on random ticks.

[terraya]

just tryed to extend a normal block with:

 

	    @Override
    public AxisAlignedBB getCollisionBoundingBox(IBlockState blockState, World worldIn, BlockPos pos)
    {
        return NULL_AABB;
    }

 

it does work to "jump" into the block from "above" but from the sites it block me ..

 

well anyways, i removed some functionalitys from "BlockBush" , so it work as i wanted already.

 

thanks@All!
