Hi, i have a problem with the getCapability method. I created a custom tile entity with a FluidHandler and an ItemStackHandler capability and i want to restrict fluid only on the left side of the block.

The problem is that the "side" parameter that is present, is not the side of the block, instead is the global facing.

 

This is my code

@Nonnull
@Override
public <T> LazyOptional<T> getCapability(@Nonnull Capability<T> cap, Direction side) {
    if(cap == CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY) {
        if(side == Direction.UP || side == Direction.NORTH) {
            return inputHandler.cast();
        }
        else if(side == Direction.DOWN || side == Direction.EAST) {
            return outputHandler.cast();
        }
    }

    if(cap == CapabilityFluidHandler.FLUID_HANDLER_CAPABILITY) {
        if(side == Direction.WEST) {
            return fluidHandler.cast();
        }
    }

    return LazyOptional.empty();
}

 

How i can check the real side of the block?

Answer this question:

• What do you mean by left side?

If you walk around to the opposite side and turn around, left and right have swapped places.

I have a block with a different front texture.

When i place down this block, the front is facing me. The left side for me, is the left side of the front.

 

I don't know if I've made myself clear

Ok, so it has a FACING property.

Facings can be rotated. If the front is towards you, then the left side is the side that is rotated around Y clockwise.

Thanks it worked
