[1.4.7] How to correctly check redstone power on sides of my block?

How to correctly check redstone power on sides of my block?

For now I using code like:

boolean a = world.getBlockId(x, y, z - 1) == Block.redstoneWire.blockID && world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z - 1) > 0;

But I want to check redstone power from any source, not only wire. Threre is any way to do it, except manually check all possible redstone sources?

There's a function called isPowerProvider or isProvidingPower that I believe returns true for all redstone blocks.

 

Edit:

canProvidePower()

 

Whereas isProvidingWeakPower and isProvidingStrongPower may also be useful.

I think these functions return properties of block types, not state of specific block.

world.isBlockIndirectlyProviderPowerAt(x,y,z,blockid,meta,side), i dont remember the correct arguments of this functions but caution it has 2 funtions in world that u can use:

isBlockIndirectlyGettingPoweredAt

isBlockIndirectlyGettingPowered

but just the first check the side.(also search the correct names i dont remember then now, but they looks like these)

If a block can provide power, then you can determine if it's powered based on its metadata, no?

its useless code just to check the side, and getting an instance of the powering block etc
