Getting an error (Extends block switch is not specified for block shieldSwitchMaster)

[Twila]

So the error says "Extends block switch is not specified for block shieldSwitchMaster"

and it stops the game from running

 

here's two sections of the code from the blocks.xml config file

 

<block id="2002" name="switch">
<property name="Class" value="Switch"/>
<property name="Material" value="Mmetal_weak"/>
<property name="StabilitySupport" value="false"/>
<property name="Shape" value="ModelEntity"/>
<property name="Mesh" value="models"/>
<property name="Model" value="Entities/Electrical/power_switchPrefab"/> <property name="HandleFace" value="South"/>
<property name="ImposterDontBlock" value="true"/>
<property name="RequiredPower" value="0"/>
<property name="TriggerType" value="Switch"/>
<property name="Group" value="Science"/>
<property class="RepairItems"> <property name="forgedIron" value="2"/> </property>
<drop event="Destroy" name="scrapIron" count="5" prob="1"/>
<drop event="Fall" name="scrapMetalPile" count="1" prob="0.75" stick_chance="1"/>
<property name="TakeDelay" value="5"/>
<property name="EconomicValue" value="50"/>
</block>

 

and what I just added to get the error:

 

<block id="1493" name="shieldSwitchMaster">
<property name="Extends" value="switch"/>
<property name="Material" value="bedrock"/>
</block>
<block id="1494" name="switchRed">
<property name="Extends" value="shieldSwitchMaster"/>
</block>

I can't remember, but doesn't the block you're extending from have to be loaded before the block that requires the extending?

I think the thing your extending from must load before the new thing.

^ what these two said.

 

The block you are extending FROM must load before the others. In your case, switch is 2002 and your others are 1493 and 1494.

 

I'll bet if you put them on 2018 and 2019, they'd work fine.

It's actually a pretty rookie coding mistake for me to make

You usually can't extend something above the parent (the Master was 1500 lines above the switch)

I just cut the second code and pasted it below the first. I didn't need to change the ID numbers.
