Creating portals

Hello!

I'm working on a minigame plugin, and I need portals to teleport to different games.
So I wondered how I would go about creating portals.

I wan't it so if a portal is made out of sponge, it will link to the other portal made out of sponge.

So, my question is, how do I recognize the portal structure?

Thanks - Raino!

 

Listen for this event:
http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerPortalEvent.html
and then check the players location and the blocks around, to see if it matches your portal.

 

But I have to save the coords, so therefore I have to check when a player creates a portal so I can get the location.
If I was going to do the thing you said, I dont think I would need help.

 

You don't check when the portal is created, you check every time the player uses a portal and detect the type. That works perfectly fine, I don'T know what you don't understand about that...

 

But I need to check when a player creates a portal, because portal does not spawn in another material, ex. sponge.
And aslo, I dont see how you can get the portal frame from that event >_>

 

You just create your portal if the conditions are met when the player places a block and if the player passes through a portal you check the blocks surrounding the player and check if thats your sponge portal... Just like I said.

 

I know, that's the part I need help with -.-

Bump :3
