Hey everyone,

 

So, I am trying to make a block look like it gets broken when you right click it, without destroying the actual block. I am using playSound() and spawnParticle() to achieve this. But, for some reason, these are not working. I have never used these methods before, so I can't really figure out the reason why they're not working. I know for a fact that they are running because the line, infused_log.carveAmount++ , is working. Here is the method:

 

@Override
    public EnumActionResult onItemUse(EntityPlayer player, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumHand hand, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
        if(worldIn.getTileEntity(pos) != null) {
            if (worldIn.getTileEntity(pos) instanceof TileEntityInfusedLog) {
                TileEntityInfusedLog infused_log = (TileEntityInfusedLog) worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
              
                worldIn.playSound(pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ(), SoundEvents.BLOCK_WOOD_BREAK, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 1000.0f, 1.0f, false);
                worldIn.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.CLOUD, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1.0D, pos.getX(), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, new int[0]);
                infused_log.carveAmount++;
            }
        }
        return super.onItemUse(player, worldIn, pos, hand, facing, hitX, hitY, hitZ);
    }

 

Thanks!

Changed font

You need to check if you are on the server or on the client

(Debug mode wasn't on)

Re-added if(worldIn.isRemote) {}

Added solution

Oh, wow. I am such an idiot. I was under the impression that I was running my game on debug mode! All changes  I made weren't actually going through. It's working now =p

 

Anyways, new problem. What params do I use in the spawnParticle to change the blockcrack ID? I know in commands, you type a specific number, but I'm not sure where to put that number in the spawnParticle() method.

What exactly is a blockcrack ID?

You work it out like this:

blockId + (metaData * 4096)

 

For example:

 

412 + (0 * 4096) = 412

therefore, the blockcrack ID will be 412.

 

So, my question is how do I get the number ID of my block? There is no like ".getBlockID" type thing

What version are you using?

1.10

Finally figured it out, after trawling through the MC code

 

worldIn.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, pos.getX() + 0.5D, pos.getY() + 0.5D, pos.getZ() + 0.5D, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, Block.getIdFromBlock(worldIn.getBlockState(pos).getBlock()));
