Detect placed block

Hey i am VERY noobie in Developing bukkit plugin's and started just a few days ago,
But what i want to do is that if a dispenser "Releases Content",
i detect the content, if it is Firework,
It check's If there is a sign on the side, (<- This is the part I D K)
and if there is a sign on the side, it ReFills

This is my code: http://pastebin.com/9HCFfe3A

Thanks in advance!!!

 

check what blocks .getRelative(BlockFace.<side>, 1) (a method from the Block class) you get (so calling .getType() and comparing the Material)

 

And what is the 1 for in .getRelative(BlockFace.<side>, 1)

 

how many blocks from that block, in the direction of the blockface. So if you would use .getRelative(BlockFace.UP,1) you would get the block above it

 

okay thank you so mutch, and if i want to get the text on the sign ?

BTW also how to get the fire work that get dispensed!!! Need to know that

To get the sign's text assuming you already have the block:

Code:java

Block block = // Your block
if(block.getState() instanceof Sign){ // Check if it's a sign
    Sign sign = (Sign) block.getState() // Cast the block to Sign
    String line1 = sign.getLine(0); // The text on the first line of the sign
    String line2 = sign.getLine(1); // The text on the second line of the sign
    String line3 = sign.getLine(2); // The text on the third line of the sign
    String line4 = sign.getLine(3); // The text on the fourth line of the sign
}

 

You should be able to get the ItemStack that was dispensed with the BlockDispenseEvent

 

Haha I just made a plugin exactly like this

 

I tried that few times but it wont detect fireworks,
Try'd with other materials and it worked fine..

Thanks, going to try it tomorrow

Use the latest Bukkit/Craftbukkit, it detects fireworks perfectly fine with me. If that does not work, try it without the ignoreCancelled=true

 

okay thank you i'll try it out!

Too bad it din't work for me, BUT THE FIREWORK PART DID!!!
