Solved LightningStrike broken

Hi all,

Im making this plugin where a lightning bolt strikes where the player is looking at on a command. Here is my current code:

Code:

if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("Lightning_Bolt")) {

Block block = player.getTargetBlock((Set<Material>) null, 300);

int x = block.getLocation().getBlockX();

int y = block.getLocation().getBlockY() + 1;

int z = block.getLocation().getBlockZ();

Block blockabove = player.getWorld().getBlockAt(x, y, z);

player.getWorld().spawn(blockabove.getLocation(), LightningStrike.class);

}

However, it doesnt display the lightning bolt. I know it actually spawns it as it makes a creeper a charged creeper when I use it near a creeper and there is fire on the ground. But no lightning bolt. Is it something wrong with my code or something? Hope someone can answer thanks!

 

@Zenya4
Do not use the spawn method for lightning. Instead, use World.strikeLightning()

 

Solved. Thanks for your help!
