FallingBlock with Material.getMaterial(string);

I have a strange error:
I have a command, which shoots FallingBlocks in different directions.
The command looks like this: /blib shotblock <block name> <count> <speed>...
I type in /blib shotblock wool 10 1
My Code for creating the FallingBlock:

Code:java

FallingBlock fbl = loc.getWorld().spawnFallingBlock(loc, Material.getMaterial(m), (byte)0);
System.out.println("spawn");
fbl.setDropItem(false);
System.out.println("drop item false");
fbl.setVelocity(new Vector(speed*(Math.random() - Math.random()),speed*(Math.random()),speed*(Math.random() - Math.random())));

Only: It does not work.
The Error Code does not tell me anything...
The funny thing is, it works when i do not Material.getString(string).
When i do Material.WOOL it works O__o .
Just confused.

 

Löwenpower Do you get "spawn" and "drop item false" in the console ? Perhaps it doesn't find the right material for the falling sand and the method just fail silently ? Could you show us the code where you get/set the value for the m variable ?

 

Löwenpower Post the full code and the full errors.

 

Have you tried "WOOL" on your command? You may just need a toUpperCase in there.

I normally use valueOf though, so I honestly am not sure about getMaterial.

 

Löwenpower use Material#matchMaterial(String)

 

Hello Guys
I think i got the solution.
I read in a thread, i have to make if.
sry, my english isnt that good.
I think it have to be such this ;(

Code:java

if(m == Material.WOOL){
  // spawn FallingBlock with Material.WOOL
}
else if(m == Material. //...
