Detect what block is under the chicken

Hello, i've found some issues trying to detect what block is under the chicken.
i've got this, but (if) cannot parse Entity to Material... (obiously)

now that's my code...

Code:

public class RunnableChikn extends BukkitRunnable {
@Overridepublic void run() {
for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
Chicken chicken = (Chicken)player.getLocation().getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN); if (chicken.getType() != Material.STAINED_CLAY);}
}
}

I didn't know how to detect what block is under him... can you help me? thank you!

 

@PistoFrancoPuumm
You cannot cast Chicken to Block! Also Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() returns players! Not Chickens! Instead what you need to do is loop through

Code:

World.getEntities()

and check if the entity is a chicken, and then subtract one on the y value of its position.

 

@PistoFrancoPuumm

Player != Chicken
Block != Chicken
Material != Chicken

 

How does the chicken relate to the code above?

 

i need to detect if the chicken is on the ground, then kill him and add a score

i want to get if chicken is in STAINED_CLAY then kill him

Entity#isOnGround()?

Now, your last message came through.
In this case you will need to get the block at "Chicken#getLocation()#subtract(0,1,0)#getBlock()#getType()".
Chicken#getLocation() ==> The loation
Location#subtract(0, 1, 0) ==> The block one below, as the second is the y axis
Location#getBlock() ==> The block at the location
Block#getType() ==> The Material of a Block

This won't work if the chicken stands on the edge of a single clay block floating in the air, but fixing this could become quite annoying.

 

First you need this method then use the instanceof statement to check to see if the Entity is a Chicken, Then you can set the chicken and use the above methods from @I Al Istannen
