Hey all,

 

I'm trying to make the code in onBlockActivated to only run when a cooldown reaches 0. I've seen there is randomTick, updateTick, etc. However, I cannot get them to work.

 

public class BlockMod extends ModBlock implements ITileEntityProvider{
    public BlockMod(String name, Material materialIn) {
        super(name, materialIn);
        this.setTickRandomly(false);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {
        return new TileEntityBlockMod();
    }

    @Override
    public int tickRate(World worldIn)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    @Override
    public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random random)
    {
        Utils.getLogger().info("tick");
        super.randomTick(worldIn, pos, state, random);
    }
}

Solved

Posted code.

Solved it. Had to scheduleUpdate(). Here is the revised code:

 

public class BlockExample extends BlockMod implements ITileEntityProvider{
    // For testing purposes
    private int i;

    public BlockExample(String name, Material materialIn) {
        super(name, materialIn);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {
        return new TileEntityBlockExample();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockAdded(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state)
    {
        this.updateTick(worldIn, pos, state, worldIn.rand);
        super.onBlockAdded(worldIn, pos, state);
    }

    @Override
    public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)
    {
        Utils.getLogger().info(++i);
        worldIn.scheduleUpdate(pos, this, 1); // <<-- This is important!
        super.updateTick(worldIn, pos, state, rand);
    }
}

 

I already stated that int i was for testing purposes in the code. I am not storing the cooldown in the block class. I understand they are singleton-like. The int was just to confirm it was working.

 

As for the tile entity creation, I will apply that.

Yeah, I will use the tile entity for that too, thanks.
 

Btw, trying the new TileEntity init method. This isn't working. How would I do this exactly?

 

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

    @Override
    public boolean hasTileEntity()
    {
        return true;
    }

 

Also tried to call createTileEnity() in the onBlockAdded() method.

Other methods

Ah, that worked. Thanks for the improvements. TileEntity init works and cooldown is now running using getTotalWorldTime() on the TileEntity.
