example; if you right klick a button on a gold block you getting killed, when you right klick on a button
on a emerald block you getting healed

 

Well, I recommend either using a PlayerInteractEvent and listening if the player clicks on a button, get the block behind the button and do whatever ya want!

INGLYSH(Gibberish) to English translation:
How would I do something to the player if they pressed a button on a specific block. Ex: If you pressed a button on a Gold Block you would be damaged, and if you pressed a button on a Emerald Block you would healed.

I can't remember if there is a method to check what block is connected to a button... I know there is one for a sign though. I am sure there is one, check the JavaDocs.

Well, try this:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void buttonOnBlock(PlayerInteractEvent event)
{
if(event.getClickedBlock() != null && event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
{
if(event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.BUTTON)
{
Button button = event.getClickedBlock();
Material block = event.getClickedBlock().getRealative(button.getAttatchedFace()).getType();
if(block == Material.whatever)
{
//Do stuff
}
}
}
}

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void buttonOnBlock(PlayerInteractEvent event)
Player p = e.getPlayer();
{
if(event.getClickedBlock() != null && event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
{
if(event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.STONE_BUTTON)
{
Button button = event.getClickedBlock();  //Got an error in event.getClickedBlock()
Material block = event.getClickedBlock().getRealative(button.getAttatchedFace()).getType();
if(block == Material.STONE)
{
p.sendMessage("Test succesFull");
p.setHealth(20.0)
}
}
}
}

 

event.getClickedBlock() will return something of the type "Block" and not of the Type "Button"

In other words cast it.

i know that, but how do so that the button or block is an stonebutton.
If i put an block in button, i got an error in eclipse for getAttatchedFace()!

What did you mean with Cast it?

 

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html

scroll down a bit to 'Casting Objects'

 

Casting is a very cool thing in Java. I like to call it the epitome of polymorphism. It allows us to say that an Object (the most broad entity in programming) and say it is also a Cat. Casting also prevents us from trying to tell a Cat to do something when it is really a Dog which would be a cat-astrophe.
