[Solved] [1.15.2] Cannot set property DirectionProperty as it does not exist in Block{null}

[Elsopeen]

Hello,
I followed Cadiboo tutorial that uses Forge Docs, and I'm trying to create an interactible block, but I can't find why I get this property error.

I understand that it comes from the blockState of my InterfaceBlock (extending HorizontalBlock), but I don't know if it comes from the registry method I used or another circumstance.

My github is https://github.com/Elsopeen/LyokoMod-1.15, and I added the stacktrace with the error (which indicated me that it came from my InterfaceBlock).

I hope you can find the problem, and I thank you in advance

Just guessing, you might need to override

fillStateContainer

and pass that property into the builder

 

yeah I think you will need to do this

Well, I added this override but I still have the error. So here's what I added, maybe it's not right :

@Override
    protected void fillStateContainer(StateContainer.Builder<Block, BlockState> builder) {
        super.fillStateContainer(builder.add(DirectionProperty.create("interface_direction", Direction.Plane.HORIZONTAL)));
    }

    }

 

There's no reason calling super, just use the property you already have which is

builder.add(HORIZONTAL_FACING);

Thanks ! The problem is fixed ! But now the block doesn't seem to be able to rotate (or be placed in another direction...)

 

Edit: the setblock command can rotate it !

Setblock test

[poopoodice]

you will need to override some methods such as getStateForPlacement() which provides a blockstate for the blockitem to determine what states does the block have when added, normally something like

return getDefaultState()
                .with(HORIZONTAL_FACING, context.getPlacementHorizontalFacing());

The rotate method you override is probably for structure generation or so.. not so sure.

Thanks, I already done that (got the solution from another problem I looked up before).

I'll mark this one as solved, thanks again !
