Hola! Is this a good place to ask questions about general fabric mod development, or is tech-support the place to do it?(edited)
cr24Team03:38
this would be the best channel, but the fabric discord is probably an even better place to ask
cymbidial03:40
Ah, for sure. It's just that the fab discord's pretty busy, and I feel bad for talking over other people's questions ^^;
cr24Team03:41
completely understandable it's crazy there
cymbidial03:43
Ikr, the peeps in there go seriously wild lol
Here's the beef! I'm not sure if what I'm doing with these iterators are entirely safe.
Ah, the code screenshot's kinda small. Lemme send it again.
cr24Team03:52
hmm this seems like it should work to me, but I'm admittedly not most knowledgeable
if you try to print each pos it iterates through to the console, does it properly print all the positions you want?
cymbidial03:59
Ah, lemme try that out. To print, would that be ModID.LOGGER.debug("string")?(edited)
cr24Team04:01
I usually just do System.out.println() modid loggers are probably better form lol
cymbidial04:09
Honestly, I have no idea how to see the modid logger lol
println() definitely does wonders
Yeah, it seems to detect the outer blocks just fine. I guess it just has something to do with scheduleTick?
cr24Team04:11
weird
I think it has to be weirdness with scheduleTick
perhaps this code should be in a different place? neighbor update might also be a problem
cymbidial04:20
Hmmm, in that case, I could try to override neighborUpdate and put the logic for removing snow in there.
Ah, just to make sure, does the code for neighborUpdate update the blocks specified by world.createAndScheduleBlockTick in getStateForNeighborUpdate?
cr24Team04:25
neighborUpdate is the method called when a block tick happens iirc. getStateForNeighborUpdate should return the state that the block turns to when updated
I think*
cymbidial04:39
Ah, I gotcha. Then what does scheduleTick do? I always thought scheduleTick had neighborUpdate's functionality.
cr24Team04:43
scheduleTick calls the scheduledTick() method
it's what sand blocks do to not cause them all to fall at once

Sponge does a similar thing with water. I'd recommend taking a look at how they do it

Nobody helps in fabricord anyways
U gotta wait like 1 hour to find an answer
U end up having to search the web or figuring it out urself

hoho, I just banged my head against the source code for a good two hours. Is there a way to define the area where neighborUpdate is called?
If I can find a way to execute a command when a block updates in a defined area, I'll be golden

Yeah, I definitely know the feel. The fabricord's really tough for answers sadly.
cymbidial10:03
nvm! just found out what was happening! i forgot to append the ticksRandomly() block setting to the block! i totally didn't waste 10 hours of my life!
im going to pound sand now 👍
shouldve read the docs more closely goddamn
cr24Team16:23
lol sometimes that happens the only thing that matters is that it works
