Powering Blocks With Redstone Help!!!

Hi guys, im a plugin n00b but i decided to give it a try. Through all of my Google searches I have been unable to figure out how to make a block react to red stone current! To be more specific, when a sponge is touched by an ACTIVATED red stone wire i want it to do something...any help is appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!​

 

I never worked with redstone,but i THINK you can check onRedstoneChange,or something similar,on all the adjacent(did i spell this right?) blocks around it!

 

but onRedstoneChange only works with blocks that normally react to redstone right?

 

No it should work with your sponge too.

 

OK well heres what i have so far...unfortunately every block i power returns "Sponge Not Powered" even the sponges im still new to plugins so most of this code i just got from Google searches...

redfireBlockListiner

redfire

 

Don't use isPowered or isIndirectlyPowered inside the blockredstone event it doesn't work.
You want event.getNewCurrent() to check the power

 

I changed the code to this:

redfireBlockListener

And it kinda worked. When I powered a dirt and a netherrack block it returned "SPONGE NOT POWERED" for both but when i powered a sponge it returned nothing. When I unpowered the sponge it did report "SPONGE NOT POWERED". It seems like this line:

isnt working correctly...am i missing something simple?

 

So basically

Code:

if (event.getNewCurrent() > event.getOldCurrent()) {

returns the blocks that are powered. in this case i'am guessing you are using a lever or something, it will return when you give power to the lever which then if redstone is attached to it it will give power to the redstone or/then power to blocks that can receive power like pistons. that is why

Code:

if ((block.getType() == Material.SPONGE)){

is not working because sponge can't be powered.

 

o thanks, i decided to go another route so i wrote some new code...but thanks anyway

 

Did you get it working? if so.. i have been looking for this type of code also. i dont suppose you would be nice enough to share it with me

 

Well I made it so when you power a sign that says <FIREWORK> on the first line it makes a firework, heres the code for that if you want it:

Redfire

Code:

package me.hammale.redfire;
import me.hammale.redfire.RedFireBlockListener;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.bukkit.event.Event;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
public class redfire extends JavaPlugin
{
    Random rand = new Random();
    double speed = 1.5d;
    double angle = 3.0d;
    int time = 35;
    int item = 259;
    int radius;
    public boolean UsePermissions;
  boolean oldstyle;
  Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
  private final RedFireBlockListener blockListener = new NetherFireBlockListener(this);
  public void onEnable()
  {
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.REDSTONE_CHANGE, this.blockListener, Event.Priority.Normal, this);
        pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.BLOCK_PLACE, this.blockListener, Event.Priority.Normal, this);
        System.out.println("REDFIRE is enabled!");
  }
public void onDisable() {
    System.out.println("REDFIRE disabled!!");
}}

RedFireBlockListener

Code:

package me.hammale.redfire;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.block.Sign;
import org.bukkit.entity.TNTPrimed;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockListener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockRedstoneEvent;
import org.bukkit.util.Vector;

public class RedFireBlockListener extends BlockListener
{
  private final redfire plugin;
  ArrayList<Block> allowedBlocks = new ArrayList<Block>();

  public RedFireBlockListener(redfire plugin)
  {
    this.plugin = plugin;
  }
  public void onBlockRedstoneChange(BlockRedstoneEvent event)
  {
      // Get the block that was changed by the current
      Block checkBlock = event.getBlock();

      // Check if it's a sign
      if ((checkBlock.getType() == Material.SIGN_POST) || (checkBlock.getType() == Material.WALL_SIGN))
      {
          if (event.getNewCurrent() > 0)
          {
                Sign s = (Sign)event.getBlock().getState();
                if (("<FIREWORK>").equals(s.getLine(0))){
//ITS POWERED, PUT SOMETHING USEFUL HERE!!!
                }
                else{
                }
          }
          else if (event.getNewCurrent() == 0)
          {
          }
      }}}

 

nice, ill have to check it out when i get some time... thanks a bunch!

 

No prob ill release redfire soon...
