Solved Cast block to ladder

Hi !
I've been developping a plugin where I want to deny the ability for players to place ladders on some blocks (like dirt/grass). At the moment, I try to find where the ladder is attached and check if the player can place it there. However, I can't find a way to cast the block to Ladder, nor Attachable.

Even after a lot of tests, I can't figure out how to cast a block to a Ladder.

Here's my actual code :

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void playerTryToPlaceBlock(BlockPlaceEvent _event)
    {
        Material blockPlaced = _event.getBlock().getType();

        if (blockPlaced == Material.LADDER)
        {
            Block ladder = _event.getBlock();
            Ladder ladderPlaced = (Ladder) ladder.getState();
            Material ladderSupportMaterial = ladder.getRelative(ladderPlaced.getAttachedFace()).getType();
           
            if(ladderSupportMaterial == Material.DIRT || ladderSupportMaterial == Material.GRASS ||  ladderSupportMaterial == Material.BARRIER)
            {
                _event.getPlayer().sendMessage(StringColor.Red + "This block cannot support a ladder !");
                _event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }

I tried to cast to "Attachable", tried without the "getState()" even tried to cast to SimpleAttachableMaterialData.
I have no more idea left, any help would be welcome. ^^

 

Try:

Code:

((Ladder) ladder_block.getData()).getAttachedFace()

 

@tyggerr @ColonelHedgehog I think BlockPlaceEvent#getBlockAgainst would be better

 

@ColonelHedgehog, thanks ! I tested with "getData" and found how to cast it :

Code:

Block blockPlaced = _event.getBlock();
Ladder ladderPlaced = (Ladder) blockPlaced.getState().getData();

Material ladderSupportMaterial = blockPlaced.getRelative(ladderPlaced.getAttachedFace()).getType();

Problem solved !

@Konato_K, I'll try using your method, it seems better and faster. Thanks !
