How to make it so a custom block is able to face towards the player on placement? | latcord | Page 1

Currently making a block but I want it to face the player when placed, as it is a decoration block. I've tried playing with blockProperties but I keep getting errors. How can I fix my issue?

    event.create("warden_trophy")
    .displayName("Warden Trophy")
    .material("wood")
    .hardness(2)
    .resistance(3)
    .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/axe')
    .noCollision()
    .notSolid()
    .renderType('cutout')
    .property(BlockProperty.facing)
  })

#

if that doesn't work, i'll look for a workaround but you'd probably have to set it up as a condition like holding shift

#

might need this as well

// Assuming BlockEvents is a valid object
BlockEvents.placed('warden_trophy', event => {
const player = event.player;
if (player) {
const playerFacing = player.getHorizontalFacing();
event.blockState = event.blockState.with('facing', playerFacing);
}
});

// Assuming StartupEvents is a valid object
StartupEvents.registry('block', event => {
event.create('warden_trophy')
.displayName('Warden Trophy')
.soundType(SoundType.WOOD) // Replace SoundType.WOOD with the appropriate sound type
.mapColor(MapColor.WOOD_BROWN) // Replace MapColor.WOOD_BROWN with the appropriate map color
.hardness(2)
.resistance(3)
.tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/axe')
.noCollision()
.notSolid()
.renderType('cutout')
.property('facing') // Make the block face the player
});

#

this might work

this seems to be the problem "dev.latvian.mods.kubejs.block.BlockBuilder.property(string)."

stray aurora Dec 20, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

but what can I do to solve it

placid shore Dec 20, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

stray aurora Dec 21, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

Yeah

#

I'm heading off to bed tho

#

Feel free to post anymore possible solutions and I'll check in the morning

event.create('my_block', 'cardinal')

wise urchin Dec 21, 2023, 7:56 AM

#

static pilot `event.create('my_block', 'cardinal')`

Wait what does that do? Does it handle the blockstate and the property of facing automatically or does it only do the property?
Didn't know something Like that exsisted

static pilot Dec 21, 2023, 8:01 AM

#

it does blockstate, jsons, models and placment facing

#

it just doesnt exist in 1.18, which is why theres also the manual blockstate thing exists and is used for this

wise urchin Dec 21, 2023, 8:08 AM

#

Ooh, cool. Does it do horizontal facing in the 4 horizontal directions or normal facing in all six directions?

wow.. it has a lot of definitions

#

number 12 is what i was looking for

wise urchin Dec 21, 2023, 8:12 AM

#

Ok, so the four horizontal directions, funny enough If you Look at Definition 5 IT seems Like it's all six

static pilot Dec 21, 2023, 8:13 AM

#

i had a very hard time naming it

#

vanilla calls them horizontal directional

#

which is a bit of a mourhful

#

but just facing or directional doesnt work cause theres 6 directions

#

(also i tried making a variant that does all 6 directions but doing shape rotation for that is basically impossible)

wise urchin Dec 21, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

Yeah can Imagine that

#

So this should be the Code then

StartupEvents.registry('block', event => {
    event.create('warden_trophy', 'cardinal')
        .woodSoundType()
        .mapColor("wood")
        .hardness(2)
        .resistance(3)
        .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/axe')
        .noCollision()
        .notSolid()
        .renderType('cutout')
})

Or something Like that

#

And you can remove your blockstates If you had one

static pilot Dec 21, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

display name is unneeded, thats the default one for that id

wise urchin Dec 21, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

Yup, that's true

#

Removed it

stray aurora Dec 21, 2023, 10:10 AM

#

I got it to work

#

Thanks guys ^^

Ticket re-opened!

stray aurora Mar 10, 2024, 1:18 AM

#

wise urchin So this should be the Code then ```js StartupEvents.registry('block', event => {...

Right, I'm back since this is relevant to my current project, how would I allow a block to be placed in 12 directions like a mob head?
