So, I have a block which extends FourWayBlock. FourWayBlock's constructor takes in 5 numbers. I haven't been able to figure out what they do, with most of them having no impact whatsoever when changed...

 

I know they in some way control the bounds of the block, but in all honesty, I can't see any logic to the way they work. All help appreciated, thanks!

I'm probably more excited than I should be for something so realistically minor...

This is what I have found after a bit of testing:

  * The first parameter decides the collision width of the middle pole

  * The second parameter decides the collision width of the extended parts

  * The third and fourth parameter does not affect the collision shape, but only the 'normal' shape (e.g. for hit collision)

  * The fifth parameter decides the collision height of the block

ah, so, by the sound of that, there's no way to make a FourWayBlock's hitbox suspended in  mid air, e.g. like an endrod?

Yes, from what I can see, the makeShapes() method always starts from the bottom (e.g. y = 0). However you could just override makeShapes() and tweak it to your desire.

Also, sorry, i forgot to ask, what do you mean by "hit collision"? what the difference between collision and hit collision?

Well, by "hit collision" I mean the shape used for detecting if the player is interacting with the block, (e.g. left or right clicking it etc). Hope that clears it up!
