Updating a liquid block turns it into another

[Bogigaba]

I'm currently working on trying to get a liquid block to update correctly. However I am running into an issue that I've tried to fix for the past 4 days (off and on again) and I can't solve it. Here's the pastebin link if you want the source code http://pastebin.com/yqJr4Yrj Thank you for all the help

Oh I'm sorry I forgot to say what happens, silly me, anyways whenever I place down the source block and update it it changes to another block that is not the flowing version of it. Pretty much it's like water into iron just on a block update.

I think it has to do with the fact that you may have messed up the file when you edited it. I used the liquid api that's built into forge. here's my github if you want to see my code https://github.com/Code-Lyoko-Modding/CodeLyokoMod

liquid flowing block ID has to be 1 less than the still block.

what do you mean?

By default throughout liquid code it will assume the flowing liquid version is one id above the stationary version, not below.

[endershadow]

but in the code of the two types, I set the still Block ID in both of them to the stationary form's Block ID. it works fine for me.

[Groxkiller]

But that's my point: you altered it to set to your stationary. That's not the default behavior.

if you look in the buildcraft source code, that's what they did and it works.

/**
* Changes the block ID to that of an updating fluid.
*/
private void setNotStationary(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
{
    int var5 = par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4);
    par1World.editingBlocks = true;
    par1World.setBlockAndMetadata(par2, par3, par4, this.blockID - 1, var5);
    par1World.markBlockRangeForRenderUpdate(par2, par3, par4, par2, par3, par4);
    par1World.scheduleBlockUpdate(par2, par3, par4, this.blockID - 1, this.tickRate());
    par1World.editingBlocks = false;
}

 

This is the code here in the stationary block and you can see it subtracts one from the stationary for the flowing

I think it's talking about meta-data there. just copy what I did. because I copied buildcraft.

Well I've tried that, along with every other thing that I can find, and I this still is happening. I'm just about to give up.
