[1.11.2] Receiving a redstone signal

[Franckyi]

Hi !

I'm creating a custom block that recieves a redstone signal from any face.

A TileEntity implementing ITickable is created by this block.

In the ITickable::update method, I'm getting the current power using World::isBlockIndirectlyGettingPowered.

It works...a bit.

Screenshot

On this screenshot, the block on the right will receive a power of 15 whereas the block on the left will receive a power of 0. I really don't know why.

My Block class :

public class BlockRedstoneReceiver extends BlockRedstoneDevice {

	public BlockRedstoneReceiver(String name, Material mat, CreativeTabs tab, float hardness, float resistance,
			String tool, int harvest, float light) {
		super(name, mat, tab, hardness, resistance, tool, harvest, light, GuiHandler.REDSTONE_RECEIVER_GUI);
	}

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

}

The block superclass overrides Block::canConnectRedstone to return true.

I'm stuck now. Maybe I forgot something on the block class but I'm not sure... if someone can help me !

Check how vanilla does it at BlockRedstoneDiode. I believe it has something to do with the fact that Block::canConnectRedstone is actually irrelevant when it comes to recieving weak power and is relevant when it comes to sending it.

Yeah, that's probably that for the Block::canConnectRedstone.

I looked at  BlockRedstoneDiode::updateTick but it seems that it only checks if it has power or not - and I want to check how much power I have.

BlockRedstoneDiode::calculateInputStrength is the method you are looking for, not it's update tick. You can adapt the code from that method to check all faces instead of just the input one.

You're right ! Now that works. Thanks !
