How to close a fence gate?

So, I can open a fence gate:

Code:

if(block.getType() == Material.SPRUCE_FENCE_GATE) {
                        bl.add(block.getLocation());
                        block.setData((byte) 4);
                    }

But I have no idea how to close it!

Thanks for any help!

 

Search for the data value for a closed fence gate just you did it to open it?

 

it is 0, but that does not work

My code is still not working, for some reason... I dont know how to get the '0' of bytes..

Can anyone help?

Isn't it the durability... I might be wrong though.

 

On the page I linked to earlier, it has data value to open or shut the gates.

But I cannot shut them.
I want them to stay in the same position, just open and shut.

 

@olsyboy
I'm not 100% sure, but you could probably use BlockState:
BlockState bS = yourblock.getState();bS.setRawData((byte) 0);bS.update();

 

@olsyboy Perhaps casting the fence gate Block to an actual Gate will be easier because of its methods that it includes. http://jd.bukkit.org/org/bukkit/material/Gate.html
I think your problem with the first attempt is that you didn't call #update() on the block. I don't know if that'll make a difference but you should call #update() after changing the Gate.

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/org/bukkit/material/Gate.html#setOpen(boolean)

 

@olsyboy Use Block#getState() then cast it to Openable if it can be casted.
To open it, use: Openable#setOpen(true);
And to close it:Openable#setOpen(false);

It will work for any direction, because here if you put your gate in the other direction it will rotate it...
