1.12 Make block face the direction i'm facing

Recommended Posts

I know how to do this in 1.10 I think but 

    /*@Override
    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase placer,
            ItemStack stack) {
        super.onBlockPlacedBy(worldIn, pos, state, placer, stack);
    }*/

I'm not used to that method ^

I'm used to 

/*@Override
public IBlockState onBlockPlaced*/

but that's not in 1.12.

I tried doing 

super.onBlockPlacedBy(worldIn, pos, state.withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing()), placer, stack);

But that didnt work.

If anyone knows please reply.

Thanks, I got it!

(For those who want to know, here is the code)

	@Override
	public IBlockState getStateForPlacement(World world, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY,
			float hitZ, int meta, EntityLivingBase placer, EnumHand hand) {
		return super.getStateForPlacement(world, pos, facing, hitX, hitY, hitZ, meta, placer, hand).withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing());
	}

It seems there are a number events/methods used when a block is placed:

 

canPlaceBlockOnSide

getStateForPlacement

onBlockPlacedBy

 

Are there any more? Are these always called in this order? I have a block where I want to remember the TE against which the block was placed - let's call it targetTE - (so it can act as an interface to that targetTE). I implemented canPlaceBlockOnSide to verify that the user actually clicked a TE and not a regular block; e.g. it returns false if you try to place the block against dirt but true if you place the block (shift-click) against a chest. I implemented getStateForPlacement to rotate my block the correct way to face the targetTE. I believe both methods are called before the block is actually placed. I also implemented neighborChanged to break (and drop) my block if the targetTE is removed.

 

Which method would be the best method to store the targetTE? onBlockPlacedBy doesn't provide the EnumFacing I need to find the block (and TE) the user clicked.

Should I store the targetTE or determine it every time I need it (using my blocks PropertyDirection) - which may be every tick?

 

I couldn't find any documentation on the order of events for placing a block - is there any?

It is if your block has that property.
