UpdateTick() working, but not instantly

[teunie75]

I've got a furnace block, which I want to change the texture from.

And that works, but every time it has to change, it will do after somewhat around 20 seconds.

Code I used in updateTick():

 

 

@Override

public void updateTick(World par1World, int par2,int par3, int par4, Random par5Random){

    this.updateFurnaceBlockState(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

   

    }

try

world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z, flag)

 

You'll have to read the javadocs on the flag, but I think you need a 3.

Can't find any doc for this, but I put markBlockForUpdate in my onBlockAdded

 

@Override

public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)

    {

        super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

        this.setDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

        par1World.markBlockForUpdate(par2, par3, par4);

    }

        this.setDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4);

        par1World.markBlockForUpdate(par2, par3, par4);

    }

 

 

 

Running from memory: sometimes you think there are extra params.  Apparently I was wrong, world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z) should work.

I saw that too, but where does the method need to be, in the place event.

Or on updateTick?

you can use

 

world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, blockId, ticks);

 

"ticks" being the number of ticks before it updates. if you want it to update constantly, you can create a loop by doing some thing like this

 

start the loop by scheduling an update when you place the block

@Override
public void onBlockAdded(World world, int x, int y, int z)
{
    super.onBlockAdded(world, x, y, z);
    world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, blockId, ticks);
}

 

when the block updates, schedule another update

@Override
public void updateTick(World world, int x,int y, int z, Random rand)
{
    super.updateTick(world, x, y, z, rand);
    world.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, blockId, ticks);
}

 

or since your block is a furnace, i'm assuming you have a tile entity. you can render the tile entity instead of the block and have the tile entity update however often you want.

 

 

edit: wait. if your goal is to just have the texture change, why not just create a custom texture? the ones like lava, water, etc.

Thanks, so using the wrong method.

So I created a delay of 1 tick, it will update instantly.
