Set lever direction

I've looked up on the wiki on how to set the direction of a lever. Didn't manage to get it working, the most logical it would be for me to do:

Code:

redblock.setType(Material.LEVER.setFacingDirection(BlockFace.DOWN));    

But it says that it can't convert Material to Lever. Anyone knows how to do this?

 

You've just got the chain a little inverted:

Code:

redblock.setType(Material.LEVER)
redblock.setFacingDirection(BlockFace.DOWN);

Chaining them might also work, but I'm not sure.

I don't think you can face 'down', but give it a shot, heh.

 

Thanks, but that doesn't work. redblock is a 'Block', and it cant convert from Block to lever when I try to cast.

 

Oh right right...

Code:

Lever myLever = (Lever) redblock;

Btw, the word lever has now lost all meaning for me temporarily, and I can't even figure out if that's the correct way to spell it, heh.
