Problems updating a block

[Fireruner]

Hi there :D

 

I'm currently working on a block that acts kind of like a barrel, where the player can store some items. If the player is holding valid items to store in his hand when he activates the barrel, it will automatically take as much as needed to fill the barrel (64 items) from the stack that is on the player's hand. The problem is that the barrel has different models for its different "fullness states", and I can get it to show that state only using the barrel. I have to feed it with items and then force it to update breaking or placing nearby blocks. I can reference all the code you need, but here is what I tried to use to update the block whenever the player interacts with it.

 

public void updateBlock(World worldIn, IBlockState state) {
         this.markDirty();
         worldIn.notifyBlockUpdate(this.getPos(), state, BlockBarrel.changeStateOverFullness(this, worldIn, state, pos), 0x3 );

         //Todo remove this, just for testing purposes
        world.setBlockState(pos, state);
    }

    }

Try

// All state variables should be the same.
world.notifyBlockUpdate(message.getPos(), state, state, 3);
world.markBlockRangeForRenderUpdate(pos, pos);
world.scheduleBlockUpdate(pos, state.getBlock(), 0, 0);

Make sure that you've overridden getActualState to get the fullness level from the TE

It its overriden, but still not working. The problem is that getActualState gets called only when Minecraft wants to call it, so when the player interacts with the block I dont know how to force Minecraft to check the state of the block. Its kinda confusing because when you use it, and change blocks arround it gets updated to the correct state. But only if you force Minecraft to update it changing blocks arround it. Its strange :C

What does this do?

 

If you store the fullness in the TE, you need to make sure it is synced to the client properly.

That method asks the TE how full is the block and if it is processing the content or has finished processing it. Thats not the problem I think, because when getActualState gets called, it runs perfectly. My problem is that I need to tell Minecraft to call getActualState after the player interacts with the block. I have a log on getActualState so I can see when it gets called, and when it gets called by Minecraft it updates the block just perfect, but when the player uses the block it doesnt get called.

Why is it returning an IBlockState? Why are you passing that block state to notifyBlockUpdate?

Just testing if the 2 states recieved there should be different or something, tested with the same states on both parametters, and still nothing. It returns a IBlockState because is an auxiliar method for the getActualState of the block that gets the values from the TE and process them. Not really usefull here, but I was testing.

notifyBlockUpdate should call getActualState. Make sure you do it on the client though, after the new TE data is received.

Yeah, right? That's what I thought, but is not doing it. I think that this code runs both on server and on client, but lemme double check
