[1.11] Block always faces north

[Awesome_Spider]

I have a block that has a front texture that is different than the side textures. I want it to face towards me when I place it in the world like the vanilla furnace, but instead it always faces  north. I tried using the vanilla furnace code to help me, but it is still not working. Have I missed something that I should have changed?

 

My blockstate json:

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "textures": {
      "front": "roboticraft:blocks/steam_engine_front",
      "top": "roboticraft:blocks/steam_engine_steam",
      "side": "roboticraft:blocks/steam_engine_side",
      "particle": "roboticraft:blocks/steam_engine_side"
    }
  },
  "variants": {
    "normal": {
      "model": "orientable"
    },
    "inventory": {
      "model": "orientable"
    },
    "facing=north": {
      "model": "orientable"
    },
    "facing=south": {
      "model": "orientable",
      "y": 180
    },
    "facing=west": {
      "model": "orientable",
      "y": 270
    },
    "facing=east": {
      "model": "orientable",
      "y": 90
    }
  }
}

 

My block code:

public class BlockSteamEngine extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntitySteamEngine> {

    public static final PropertyDirection FACING = BlockHorizontal.FACING;

    public BlockSteamEngine() {
        super(Material.ROCK, "steam_engine");
    }

    @Override
    public Class<TileEntitySteamEngine> getTileEntityClass() {
        return TileEntitySteamEngine.class;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntitySteamEngine createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
        return new TileEntitySteamEngine();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockAdded(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state) {
        if (!world.isRemote) {
            IBlockState iblockstate = world.getBlockState(pos.north());
            IBlockState iblockstate1 = world.getBlockState(pos.south());
            IBlockState iblockstate2 = world.getBlockState(pos.west());
            IBlockState iblockstate3 = world.getBlockState(pos.east());
            EnumFacing enumfacing = (EnumFacing)state.getValue(FACING);

            if (enumfacing == EnumFacing.NORTH && iblockstate.isFullBlock() && !iblockstate1.isFullBlock())
            {
                enumfacing = EnumFacing.SOUTH;
            }
            else if (enumfacing == EnumFacing.SOUTH && iblockstate1.isFullBlock() && !iblockstate.isFullBlock())
            {
                enumfacing = EnumFacing.NORTH;
            }
            else if (enumfacing == EnumFacing.WEST && iblockstate2.isFullBlock() && !iblockstate3.isFullBlock())
            {
                enumfacing = EnumFacing.EAST;
            }
            else if (enumfacing == EnumFacing.EAST && iblockstate3.isFullBlock() && !iblockstate2.isFullBlock())
            {
                enumfacing = EnumFacing.WEST;
            }

            world.setBlockState(pos, state.withProperty(FACING, enumfacing), 2);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
        if (!world.isRemote) {
            player.openGui(RobotiCraft.instance, ModGuiHandler.TILE_ENTITY_STEAM_ENGINE_GUI, world, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());
        }

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void randomDisplayTick(IBlockState state, World world, BlockPos pos, Random rand) {
        TileEntitySteamEngine te = (TileEntitySteamEngine) world.getTileEntity(pos);

            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
    }
}

 

PS: I think the new forum software was worth the wait. It looks nice.

[Awesome_Spider]

It still faces north.

 

Here is the updated code:

public class BlockSteamEngine extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntitySteamEngine> {

    public static final PropertyDirection FACING = BlockHorizontal.FACING;

    public BlockSteamEngine() {
        super(Material.ROCK, "steam_engine");
    }

    @Override
    public Class<TileEntitySteamEngine> getTileEntityClass() {
        return TileEntitySteamEngine.class;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntitySteamEngine createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
        return new TileEntitySteamEngine();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase entity, ItemStack stack) {
        EnumFacing entityFacing = entity.getHorizontalFacing();

        if(!world.isRemote) {
            if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.NORTH) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.SOUTH;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.EAST) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.WEST;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.SOUTH) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.NORTH;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.WEST) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.EAST;
            }

            world.setBlockState(pos, state.withProperty(FACING, entityFacing), 2);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
        if (!world.isRemote) {
            player.openGui(RobotiCraft.instance, ModGuiHandler.TILE_ENTITY_STEAM_ENGINE_GUI, world, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());
        }

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void randomDisplayTick(IBlockState state, World world, BlockPos pos, Random rand) {
        TileEntitySteamEngine te = (TileEntitySteamEngine) world.getTileEntity(pos);

            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
    }
}

 

[Awesome_Spider]

How do I create that? The vanilla furnace uses setDefaultState in the constructor but I don't think that's what you mean.

[Awesome_Spider]

Now it's crashing. It's a nullpointer, I must not be initializing something I should be.

 

 

My Block code:

public class BlockSteamEngine extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntitySteamEngine> {

    public static final PropertyDirection FACING = BlockHorizontal.FACING;

    public BlockSteamEngine() {
        super(Material.ROCK, "steam_engine");

        this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
    }

    @Override
    public Class<TileEntitySteamEngine> getTileEntityClass() {
        return TileEntitySteamEngine.class;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntitySteamEngine createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
        return new TileEntitySteamEngine();
    }

    @Override
    public BlockStateContainer createBlockState() {
        return new BlockStateContainer(ModBlocks.steamEngine, FACING);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase entity, ItemStack stack) {
        EnumFacing entityFacing = entity.getHorizontalFacing();

        if(!world.isRemote) {
            if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.NORTH) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.SOUTH;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.EAST) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.WEST;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.SOUTH) {

            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.WEST) {

            }

            world.setBlockState(pos, state.withProperty(FACING, entityFacing), 2);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
        if (!world.isRemote) {
            player.openGui(RobotiCraft.instance, ModGuiHandler.TILE_ENTITY_STEAM_ENGINE_GUI, world, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());

        return true;

            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);

Off topic, but why is everyone a stone miner all of a sudden? lol

They're probably in the middle of migrating the status', with this being the default.

[Awesome_Spider]

Ok.

[Awesome_Spider]

Ok, now I have a different exception. This time it's in my ModBlocks class.

You need to Override Block#getStateFromMeta and Block#getMetaFromState

[Awesome_Spider]

Thank you! It's working now. I didn't override getStateFromMeta because my IDE said it was deprecated.

[Animefan8888]

In this case Deprecated means do not call, but you can override it.

[Awesome_Spider]

Ok, now they are in the right direction like before, but when I log out and back in they face north again.

 

Here is my current code:

 

public class BlockSteamEngine extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntitySteamEngine> {

    public static final PropertyDirection FACING = BlockHorizontal.FACING;

    public BlockSteamEngine() {
        super(Material.ROCK, "steam_engine");

        this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
    }

    @Override
    public Class<TileEntitySteamEngine> getTileEntityClass() {
        return TileEntitySteamEngine.class;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntitySteamEngine createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
        return new TileEntitySteamEngine();
    }

    @Override
    public BlockStateContainer createBlockState() {
        return new BlockStateContainer(this, FACING);
    }

    @Override
    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
        return getDefaultState();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase entity, ItemStack stack) {
        EnumFacing entityFacing = entity.getHorizontalFacing();

        if(!world.isRemote) {
            if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.NORTH) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.SOUTH;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.EAST) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.WEST;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.SOUTH) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.NORTH;
            } else if(entityFacing == EnumFacing.WEST) {
                entityFacing = EnumFacing.EAST;
            }

            world.setBlockState(pos, state.withProperty(FACING, entityFacing), 2);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
        if (!world.isRemote) {
            player.openGui(RobotiCraft.instance, ModGuiHandler.TILE_ENTITY_STEAM_ENGINE_GUI, world, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());
        }

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void randomDisplayTick(IBlockState state, World world, BlockPos pos, Random rand) {
        TileEntitySteamEngine te = (TileEntitySteamEngine) world.getTileEntity(pos);

            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
            world.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.SMOKE_NORMAL, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 0.0D, 0.1D, 0.0D, new int[0]);
    }
}

[Animefan8888]

You actually need to determine which State from which metadata. Currently you only return the default state in getStateFromMeta. And you always return 0 in getMetaFromState. These are how it saves the blockstate to disk.

[Awesome_Spider]

I was about to say it was crashing, but then I realized it was because of my half-built particles. The face value is working as desired. Thank you for the help.
