Thats good! Now you only need an itemBlock which has this function in it to return the metadata

 

public static ItemBlockMulitBlock extends ItemBlock

{

  public ItemBlockMultiBlock(int par1)

  {

      super(par1);

      setHasSubtypes(true)

  }

 

  @Override

  public int getBlockMetadata(int par1)

  {

        return par1;

    }

 

}

 

than you also need an extra item which changes the tileentity when your placing the block. Than you can have. The Rest you have to find out yourself^^

[memanlolz]

i already have an itemblock.

There is a ModLoader Mod which can help you alot. It also implemented Forge.

PowerCraft.

 

Or Read how the skulls are get Placed^^ i do not have the time (and i do not waste my time with coding for other for free). Find it out yourself.

 

I can tell you what you need.

 

You need:

 

Block & ItemBlock (which have the submeta inside(submeta can big as you want))

Thats the block now for the placeing.

 

You simply need an item which is placeing your Block. and changes the tileentity.

That the way ic2 make it with his cables. Its only 1 cable tile and the items changes only the value.

 

If you ask more than i just everytime read it from vannila there is all you need!

[FlameAtronach93]

Moritz is mostly right. You'll need to somehow modify the TE with one or more items. Or CreativeTabs.

 

In every case, be it different algorithms on block updates, textures, or rendering, you'll first need to get the TE and do all the tests you need in order to distinguish the subtype. Example:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

public Icon getBlockTexture( IBlockAccess blockAccess, int x, int y, int y, int side ) {
    MyTileEntity te = (MyTileEntity)blockAccess.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);
    
    switch( te.type ) {
        case 0: default:
            return Block.wood.getIcon(side, 0);
        case 1:
            return Block.grass.getIcon(side, 0);
    }
}

 

 

In this example, you'd only have 2 different types for simplicity. Depending on the state of your TE, you'd do different things respectively. Fair enough, huh? It all comes down to... well, that.

Hope that's enough to get you started. If not... explain your problem better.

[memanlolz]

Okay, i somehow did everything untill now, now i need to know, how do i make it Save the tile entity?
