help with setType()

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onToggle(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
      
        if(event.getAction() == Action.PHYSICAL) {
          
            if(event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.STONE_PLATE) {
                Block b = event.getClickedBlock();
               //Nothing happens here
                b.setType(Material.AIR);
                event.getPlayer().setHealth(0D);
                Location loc = event.getClickedBlock().getLocation();
                loc.getWorld().createExplosion(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ(), 0.0f, false, false);
            }
          
        }
      
    }

Ok so when i do b.setType(Material.AIR); it doesn't set the block to air. Everything else in the if statement runs and I don't know why can someone help me.
Also, I was debugging it with Bukkit.broadcastMessage(b.getType().toString()); before and after I set the block and before it said stone_plate after it said air but it still showed that there was a stone_plate and acted as if it was still a stone_plate.

 

You have to update the players Inventory. This is the same for setting the type of any item. Whats being changed is all server-side, not client side.

Code:

player.updateInv();

 

Nope that doesn't work I just checked :/

 

Are you trying to kill the player?

 

Sorry, I thought the Block was an ItemStack. Disregard the last post.

what you're doing by getting 'Block b' is creating a new instance of that block. Remove 'Block b' and instead use 'event.getBlock().setType(Material.AIR);'

 

@Zombie_Striker
Nope that still doesn't set the block to air.

 

@Zombie_Striker What, holding a reference of an object does not create a new instance

@boysnnoco Have you tried using Block#breakNaturally?

 

Yeah Ive tried using breakNaturally that didn't work either.

Edit:
Also before anyone asks (or tells me to do this) I've tried using BlockStates and updating the block that way which didn't work.

 

U might destroy the block under the preasure plate and set it again.

 

Not to sure if this is the case, but it's worth a shot: If there are more then one type of stone plates in minecraft, that may be the problem..

(Just an idea )

 

That would cause the plate to be dropped which is really annoying

 

Is this like a landmine code?

 

Yeah

 

Awesome. Letme see if i can fix it

@boysnnoco Ok i got it!! This is what you need to do. Basically, the PLATE changes when pressed versus not pressed. So you need to make the plate not activate for the code to work xD And to not get it to activate you need to cancel the event with this

Code:

e.setCancelled(true);
e.getClickedBlock().setTypeId(0);

I found that out because i was making the plate break naturally, and then looping through the dropped entitys to remove them right away, but noticed it was spawning a new plate of the type Not Pressed and the actual plate was becoming pressed, so i figured the event would have to be cancelled

Wow thanks!
