Adding items to blockcontainer Inventories created during worldgen

[Draco18s]

I know about ChestGenHooks, but I don't want to add items to chests.  I want to add them to dispensers (actually a custom block, but it uses the Dispenser's TE).

 

If ChestGenHooks can do this, I haven't figured out how.

 

Additionally, I can't seem to get the block to be oriented the way I want...it's weird:

 

world.setBlock(x, y, z, TrapsBase.TrapBlock.blockID, 1, 3); //metadata 1 means it should point up

 

Doing that in worldgen doesn't make it point up, it points south...which is metadata 3...and it doesn't matter what direction I tell it to face, it always faces south.

((TileEntityMyDispenser) world.getBlockTileEntity(x,y,z)).addItem(stack);

Oddly enough, addItem(ItemStack) is defined by TileEntityDispenser. Feel free to replace with setInventorySlotContents() or whatever.

 

As for the orientation: getIcon() code?

world.getBlockTileEntity(x,y,z) returns null:

 

			world.setBlock((int)c.xCoord, (int)c.yCoord-1, (int)c.zCoord, TrapsBase.arrowSlot.blockID, 1, 3);
		TileEntityDispenser dis = (TileEntityDispenser)world.getBlockTileEntity((int)c.xCoord, (int)c.yCoord, (int)c.zCoord);
		if(dis != null) {
			addTrapItem(dis);
		}
		else {
			System.out.print("Boo."); //this runs
		}

 

Yes, that's the right TE.

 

    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World par1World)
    {
        return new TileEntityDispenser();
    }

getIcon won't help you.  I'm using a custom renderer and yes I checked that it wasn't just rendering wrong.  It was still shooting arrows in the incorrect direction.

Perhaps you might try removing the "-1"? Or adding one in the next line?

    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World par1World)
    {
        return new TileEntityDispenser();
    }

If you're sure, then I don't know.

Frakking hell.  Thanks for spotting that. >..x

The -1 should actually be on another line entirely.

 

If you're sure, then I don't know.

 

public Icon getIcon(int par1, int par2)
    {
    		if(par2 <= 1)
    			return verticalFront;
	return blockIcon;
    }

 

All it does it determine which overlay to use.  The four horizontal facings have one icon (four "holes") the vertical one has another (two "holes").

 

The renderer is a tad bit more complex.

But feel free.

[Draco18s]

You'll never believe what fixed it.

 

world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify((int)c.xCoord, (int)c.yCoord-1, (int)c.zCoord, 1, 3);

 

Had to forcibly set the metadata after creating the block.

 

Because dispensers do this:

 

public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
        this.setDispenserDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4);
    }

 

Even the vanilla dispenser has this "problem."

Lolz. Well, I'm glad I solved at least half of your problem
