Quick question

I've got a location called egg, and I want to set the blocks around that location to fire, how do I do that? And how do I check that if the block that he attempts to transform into fire is already a block and not air so he doesn't set it.

Help would be appreciated, CraterHater.

 

@CraterHater can we see what you tried so far?
Use Block#getRelative(BlockFace.X) for west, southm north, east and set them alight if their type is air.

 

"Around" is ambiguous here. Do you mean the 6 cardinal blocks around egg, or the 3x3x3 cube of blocks centered at egg?

 

just add to your location

 

@lilian58660 Right how?

 

Code:

//Your location
Location yourlocation = something
// 9 new locations
        Location l1 = new Location(getServer().getWorld("something"), b.getLocation().getBlockX()+1, b.getLocation().getY()+1, b.getLocation().getZ()+1);

You use this 9 times to get the 9 blocks ^^
btw b is yourlocation ^^

 

Or use the add() method. It's less verbose.

Code:

Block block;
Location egg;
       
for(int x = -1;x <= 1; x++) {
   
    for(int y = -1; y <= 1; y++) {
       
        for(int z = -1; z <= 1; z++) {
           
            if(x == 0 && y == 0 && z == 0) continue;
           
            block = egg.add(x, y, z).getBlock();
       
            if(block.getType() == Material.AIR) {
               
                block.setType(Material.FIRE);
            }
        }
    }
}

 

@mariosunny @lilian58660 why doesn't this work?

Code:

 Location l1 = new Location(getServer().getWorld("Pvp"), egg.getLocation().getBlockX()+1, egg.getLocation().getY(), egg.getLocation().getZ());
        ((Block) l1).setType(Material.FIRE);

@CraterHater

1. Double posting
2. A LOCATION IS NOT THE SAME AS A BLOCK, SO WHY ARE YOU CASTING IT TO BE A BLOCK

 

@Zombie_Striker
How do I do it then?

 

@CraterHater
Location#getBlock

This is really basic bukkit coding? Why have you not thought of this already?

 

@Zombie_Striker yeah but I can't seem to get how it works, would you mind giving me the code... I know this is spoonfeeding but its so small that I will learn more of just reading it again and refreshing my mind about that

 

@CraterHater I did give you the code.

 

@CraterHater
Its one thing to spoonfeed methods, because with that it giving the Developer the method to do the thing they want without them learning what to do. This is worse because this is one line with TWO BITS TO IT! Its not even that hard to understand. THE NAME SAYS EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES! If you cant' figure out how to use Location#getBlock, then you really need to learn Java, because that shows you do not know how to use classes or methods.

 

#getBlockat(l1)
or #getBlockAt (l1) idk i'm not at home ^^

 

@lilian58660
getBlockat a location is only used for the fields that extend World. Use getBlock for field that extends Location

 

Okay, I just saw this line somewhere ^^

 

@lilian58660
What are you talking about?
