so yeah as the title says i need some help with how to get textures to work on meta data blocks.

 

this is my code for the block

 

 

package naturemod.common.blocks;

 

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Cave;

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Crop;

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Desert;

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Nether;

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Plains;

import static net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType.Water;

 

import java.util.List;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockFlower;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.util.Icon;

import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

import net.minecraftforge.common.EnumPlantType;

import net.minecraftforge.common.IPlantable;

 

public class BlockMoreFlowers extends BlockFlower implements IPlantable

{

private Icon[] icon;

 

    public static final String[] flowerType = new String[] {"flowerOrange", "flowerMagenta", "flowerLBlue", "flowerPink", "flowerCyan", "flowerPurple"};

    private static final String[] field_94370_b = new String[] {"Nature:flower_0", "Nature:flower_1", "Nature:flower_2", "Nature:flower_3", "Nature:flower_4", "Nature:flower_5"};

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    private Icon[] flowerIcon;

 

public BlockMoreFlowers(int id)

{

super(id, Material.plants);

this.setStepSound(soundGrassFootstep);

this.setHardness(0.0f);

this.disableStats();

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

 

    /**

    * From the specified side and block metadata retrieves the blocks texture. Args: side, metadata

    */

    public Icon getIcon(int par1, int par2)

    {

        return this.icon[par2 % this.icon.length];

    }

   

    public int getDamageValue(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4)

    {

        return par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4);

    }

 

@Override

public int damageDropped (int metadata) {

return metadata;

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void getSubBlocks(int unknown, CreativeTabs tab, List subItems) {

for (int ix = 0; ix < 6; ix++) {

subItems.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, ix));

}

}

 

@Override

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) {

    this.icon = new Icon[6];

    for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {

        this.icon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("Nature:flower_" + i);

    }

}

 

    @Override

    public EnumPlantType getPlantType(World world, int x, int y, int z)

    {

        return Plains;

    }

 

    @Override

    public int getPlantID(World world, int x, int y, int z)

    {

        return blockID;

    }

 

    @Override

    public int getPlantMetadata(World world, int x, int y, int z)

    {

        return world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z);

    }

}

 

 

 

 

and this is the error im getting:

You have an issue here:

 

this.icon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("Nature:flower_" + i);

 

Isn't "this.icon" an array?

ah thank you, that seemed to have fixed it

 

[edit] nevermind, im still having some issues

[edit] nevermind, im still having some issues

 

Same error, different error?

same error, i copied the texture code from the BlockTallGrass.class this time and still having issues

Same here, been getting that error whenever I try and access one of the blocks my mod adds.

 

Probably another screw-up with the new texture system.
