How to make a Pushable hasTileEntity Block with Pistons?

[Jade_Knightblazer]

Looking for a way to allow pistons to move my block, with extends BlockContainer and has an TileEntity,

 

Do to BlockPistonBase's: return !par1World.blockHasTileEntity(par2, par3, par4); , my block well.... blocks pistons from extending.

 

private static boolean canPushBlock(int par0, World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, boolean par5)
    {
        if (par0 == Block.obsidian.blockID)
        {
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            if (par0 != Block.pistonBase.blockID && par0 != Block.pistonStickyBase.blockID)
            {
                if (Block.blocksList[par0].getBlockHardness(par1World, par2, par3, par4) == -1.0F)
                {
                    return false;
                }

                if (Block.blocksList[par0].getMobilityFlag() == 2)
                {
                    return false;
                }

                if (Block.blocksList[par0].getMobilityFlag() == 1)
                {
                    if (!par5)
                    {
                        return false;
                    }

                    return true;
                }
            }
            else if (isExtended(par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4)))
            {
                return false;
            }

            ------------------------->   return !par1World.blockHasTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);     <--------------------------------
        }
    }

 

Is there a hook I can use to bypass the normal piston behavioral or another way to backdoor this problem?

 

-Thanks

 

 

Btw, I am using TileEntity to store the blocks "Durability", which when its durabiliy reaches 0, the block and tileentity are removed. via breakBlock();

 

I found TileEntitys are the only way to store NBT infomation for the block which they are located at =/, since the Block Meta is taken up by its placement direction (block is place able on walls).

Well... with that idea out the window. Is there any other way to store data on Blocks besides meta? I really want to give this block a health pool.

[Jade_Knightblazer]

well many of the meta data is taken up by Direction, since it can be placed on walls =/ It is very import due to how the block renders is based on the Metadata aswell.

 

I guess I will just have to make a cheesy "Chance to break" percentage eh?

You could make it see if the pistions variable to extant is true and then make you block move it self.

You can use multiple blocks as a workaround. Like one block for 20 hp, one for 19 and so on and all drop the same block, even with silk touch.
