Schedulling updateTick()

[Jantomedes]

Hi there!

It's probably a bit silly question but  I was making a block and wanted it to something on each tick so I added the updateTick() method and Eclipse tells it's overrided but the method isn't called at all. The javadoc description says that updateTick() has to be scheduled but how can I do that?

 

I tried the TickRegistry.registerTickHandler() but it has to get a class implementing ITickHandler and it's looks just a bit too hard to be the solution I'm looking for. The normal blocks like dirt are using updateTick() but I don't see any advanced ITickHandlers?

 

So where it is or maybe I must implement ITickHandler? You can give me a tutorial.

Okey I'll try (and give you a + if it worsk ;-))

 

But just out of crazy curiosity: what I have to do to just use the updateTick() method?

How would one use a TileEntity to accomplish something like that? I would like to have a block that duplicates every second, and a bunch of duplicating TE's seems like a baaaaad idea
