Solved (Finally :\) How To Stop TNT From Igniting?

Hi, i'm trying to make a plugin that allows you to place TNT on top of a redstone block but have the tnt just stay there without exploding. Does anyone know a simple way i could do this?

EDIT: IT'S REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND, ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS PUT A TNT BLOCK NEXT TO A REDSTONE BLOCK WITHOUT ANYTHING HAPPENING!


Answer:

 

Try Using:
http://jd.bukkit.org/doxygen/d0/de9..._1event_1_1entity_1_1ExplosionPrimeEvent.html

 

i tried and if u cancel this event it only makes the tnt explode without doing anything. It doesn't stop it from igniting

 

kmecpp Could you set the redstone block's power output to 0?

 

how could i do that?

 

kmecpp I'm sure I saw a method on the Javadocs a while a go which lets you set a block's power output; just have a look around.

 

dsouzamatt BlockRedstoneEvent?

 

Ozeir How would i use this? the event doesn't even seem cancel-able

 

kmecpp ExplosionPrimeEvent should've worked can u post your code?

 

Ozeir I think that's the one.

kmecpp Use the .setNewCurrent(int) method.

Actually, that's a good point. It sounds like you've forgotten to register your events or to use the @EventHandler annotation.

Ozeir It does work but it can only cancels the event after the tnt has been lit and is primed and is just about to explode, unless i'm doing something terribly wrong doing this...

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onExplosionPrime(ExplosionPrimeEvent e){
        e.setCancelled(true);
        Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "NOPE!!!");
    }

"NOPE!!!" is printed into the console and the tnt doesn't explode when i use this code but thats not exactly what i want, i want to make it so that you can light the tnt at all and make it so that it can just sit right on top of a redstone block.... and just stay there without doing anything

dsouzamatt i have registered my events and used @EventHandler because the code works, it's just not cancelling the event when i want it to (Before the TNT gets lit)

You want a primed tnt block to sit there and not explode?

 

dsouzamatt no i dont want it to get primed, i just want it to be like a normal block, as if u placed a dirt block next to a redstone block... nothing happens

This event doesn't seem to get called... and yes before you ask! i did use @EventHandler and register my events!

EDIT: It gets called for some redstone usage, but not when you place a TNT block next to a redstone block which is what im trying to do

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

try this:

Code:java

public void onExplosionPrime(ExplosionPrimeEvent event) {
        entity = event.getEntity();
        if (entity instanceof TNTPrimed) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

 

Copied and pasted from here, may I ask?

That code won't even work; your entity variable is never created and you're missing the @EventHandler annotation.

 

yes, and its just an example..

 

Also, Ozeir since i tried canceling all of these events

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onExplosionPrime(ExplosionPrimeEvent e){
        e.setCancelled(true);
        Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "NOPE!!!");
    }

why would seeing if the entity is TNT help at all, it's not like i was getting errors with the code above and the event never finished

 

If you only want it for a redstone block why aren't u using BlockRedstoneEvent?

 

Ozeir iv'e tried that event and it doesn't get called when you place TNT on top of a redstone block which is what i'm trying to do! If you don't believe me, then test it yourself

Bump

kmecpp Use the PlayerInteractEvent, see if the player is right clicking a block, if so, check if the block is tnt, and if they are holding an item that can light it, ex. flint and steel. If they are, cancel the event.

 

Niknea I don't want to stop the block from being placed, i want it to be able to get placed on top of a redstone block without exploding

tempelis I tested ur code and it doesn't work either, like i said in half my other posts, the ExplosionPrimeEvent gets called after the TNT has ignited and right before it explodes. Also, the new TNT block that is created doesn't do what i want it to do either, it gets ignited by the redstone block.

If it's so simple then figure it out yourself ...

AFAIK you can try to use BlockIgniteEvent

EDIT: kmecpp

 

WD_MUFFINFLUFFER I'm just kinda frustrated cause everyones suggesting stuff that has already been suggested which doesn't work because iv'e tested everything everyones given me and nothing does what i want it to do so i thought i might as well make it very clear what i'm trying to do

WD_MUFFINFLUFFER Also, BlockIgniteEvent is called when you set something on fire... not when TNT is primed.

kmecpp

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event){
        if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.TNT){
            event.setCancelled(true);
            BlockState s = event.getBlockReplacedState();
            s.setType(Material.TNT);
            s.update(true, false);
        }
    }

This effectively stopped it. How this works, see the update(boolean, boolean) method used. I pass in false to the 2nd argument, and it doesn't apply physics (apparently tnt ignition is physics). It worked perfectly (note, a Block update will ignite the TNT I believe). I had to cancel the event to stop the update from being applied, then applied it myself without physics.

 

Oops xD
Also I dont think this will ever be solved
Go to

And read ShadyPotato's comment

"Sorry to say, there is currently no event fired when a block of TNT is primed. EntityPrimeEvent fires "when an entity makes the decision to explode." In other words, it fires the tick before the TNT actually explodes. Your best bet is to listen to a PlayerInteractEvent, check if the clicked block is TNT, and somehow figure out if the event will prime the TNT. You could probably find another solution on the forums, as I've seen tons of threads about this issue."

 

WD_MUFFINFLUFFER I posted a (hacky but) valid solution. It doesn't ignite on placement. If he truly wanted to make it not ignite, he'd have override its behavior deep within NMS, which probably won't be too fun to do.

 

xTigerRebornx Thank you so much!!!!! This works perfectly while everyone i asked told me it was impossible! +1 Like
