Too many TileEntities


Wirkungsquantum

Recommended Posts

Hello kind helper,

 

I'm having a problem with the texturing of one of my blocks, this appears to be due to it having too many (well, 2) tile entities.

 

What it should do:

I place the block, a lil algo determines its direction and the textures get assigned to the blocks sides with respect to that direction, the direction gets saved in the tile entity that belongs to the block(well, the position) and once the world gets reloaded the block will show the correct textures.

 

What it does.

I place the block, a lil algo determines its direction and the textures get assigned to the blocks sides with respect to that direction, the direction gets saved in a tile entity that belongs to the block and once the world gets reloaded the block shows the default textures indicating that something isn't working properly.

 

I can be sure that the direction gets saved properly i added a System.out to the readFromNBT function outputting the correct values on reloading the world. The Tile entity that gets loaded by my getTexture function however outputs the default direction.

 

What i did then in order to determine wether my tile entity or works or not is the following:

I added a function

	@Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityPlayer par5EntityPlayer, int par6, float par7, float par8, float par9)
    {
	if(this.hasTileEntity(world.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4))){
        NosTileEntity tile = (NosTileEntity) world.getBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);
        System.out.println(tile.getDirection());
        return true;
        }
	return false;
    }

 

As you can see it tells me the direction saved in the tile entity on right clicking the block, the correct one if the entity works properly, the default value if it does not. And this is where i start getting confused as the output i received was the following:

 

2013-01-11 18:43:03 [iNFO] [sTDOUT] NotSetYet  //the default value

2013-01-11 18:43:03 [iNFO] [sTDOUT] EAS            // the correct value (east)

 

So rightclicking a block once gives me 2 output values. Are there two block or entities saved in this direction? I have no idea, so if anyone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

 

// i turned to the wiki for help, and it had some advice on how to use tile entities but my specific problem could not be solved by anything i found there.

 

 

p.s.: The code might contain some odd things (like the damageDropped function) this is due to the fact that I'm currently working on moving from relying on metadata alone to (mostly) relying on (you guessed it) tile entities.
