PC Lockers placement follows the ground level - Why?

[Tahaan]

Is there a reason why the lockers place like this?

What do you expect how they should be placed? This game is based on blocks.

Well, the obvious and unhelpful answer is "because you placed them that way." If you want them level, can you just attach them to that concrete wall?

Most blocks snap to the grid. This seems odd and possibly exploitable.

Ohhhhh...I see now, duh. They are snapping at 1/2-block heights, or so it seems. They are 1x2x1 multi-blocks and I tested with wood stairs w/railing which are the same size. Only the lockers did this weird partial-block stuff.

I actually have a theory about this that I need to go test...



Edit to add: Theory confirmed. The problem is that the lockers blocks inherit from block "cntLockersShortOpen" which has this property:

<property name="IsTerrainDecoration" value="true"/>


If you comment out that property, then the lockers stop being stupid. (Note I did not remove and re-place these; when I reloaded the world, they had been snapped to full-block heights already.)

I think forges does the same thing but I need sleep now, I will look at it tomorrow.
