Request - ComplexBlock types Lever, Button #77

Closed BluXDragon closed 11 years ago

BluXDragon commented 11 years ago

I'd enjoy being able to toggle/set/activate levers and buttons without using some pretty annoying to find Notchian. I would also like to be able to put Metadata in these blocks, and making a ComplexBlock out of them would make this possible, as far as I know.

Methods would be things like; Block getAttachedBlock(); void trigger(); //pushes the button or toggles the lever void setStatus(); //Sets whether it is on or off (probably lever only, although I think it's possible to "lock in buttons".

No need for a getMaterial() method for button, since you could do that just by getting the block and checking the ID.

That's about it really.

The thing is, ComplexBlock corresponds to Minecraft's TileEntities. It would be overly expensive to have entire TileEntities on every single button and lever, so I don't think Metadata would be viable for these. However, we could break up ComplexBlock a little bit to allow for non-tile entities.

I see. That's fine, the getAttachedBlock() and trigger/status methods would make me happy :P Now that I think about it, getAttachedBlock() would be nice for a lot of things, like torch/redstonetorch.
