Problem with updateEntity()

[Jantomedes]

Hey there. I have an issue that tileentity of a block is not updating after loading a saved game but when I place a new block it is updating even after destroying the block.

 

The code for block and tileentity: http://pastebin.com/CuCbTafE

As for

 

when I place a new block it is updating even after destroying the block

This snippet should resolve the issue

onUpdate()
{
if(worldObj.getBlockID(xCoord,yCoord,zCoord)!= YourBlock.blockID)
{
	invalidate();
}

 

To resolve issues with TileEntity not being save, first:

 

override hasTileEntity in BlockChainReactive (return true)

 

and put

 

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityChainReactiveRock.class, "TileEntityChainReactiveRock"); 

 

int Your mod load method.

 

Does this work?

I added the snippet and it's working.

 

I also overrided the method (registration I already had but blocks still don't update after loading a world. I have to place them again to start them counting.

 

Do you have any ideas?

 

Anyway, thanks a lot ;-)

Hm, try to log any message in ReadFromNBT and WriteToNBT to check which one of these isn't called.

But I'm not sure why it wouldn't as You have "hasTileEntity" and "createTileEntity" methods and You do TileEntityRegistration.

Now I know :-) Any block with TileEntity has to implement ITileEntityProvider. I didn't see that because major of blocks with TileEntitys (all of them?) are extending BlockContainer which is implementing that.

 

Anyway thanks for your help.

That's strange, because I've been using TileEntities with blocks which do not implement this interface.

I wonder if that changed, gotta test my code.
