.getTargetBlock

I am making a reach plugin, where when you type /reach, it toggles reach mode and in reach mode you can break blocks farther away (obviously). I am having trouble with the .getTargetBlock part... what do I put as the 2 arguments?

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onLeftClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        if(isReaching == true){
            if(event.getAction().equals(Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) || event.getAction().equals(Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK)){
                Block targetBlock = event.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(arg0, arg1);
                targetBlock.breakNaturally();
            }
        }
    }
}

 

arg0 is blocks to ignore (?), but i usually set it to null.
arg1 is how far it'll look, about 200 is more than enough.

 

It isn't working... XD

Code:

    public boolean isReaching = false;
   
    public void onEnable(){
        getLogger().info("version v" + this.getDescription().getVersion() + " is enabled!");
    }
    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info("version v" + this.getDescription().getVersion() + " is disabled!");
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(player.hasPermission("bbyreach.reach") || player.isOp()){
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bbyreach")){
                if(isReaching == false){
                    isReaching = true;
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[BbyReach] " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Reach mode activated!");
                }else if(isReaching == true){
                    isReaching = false;
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[BbyReach] " + ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Reach mode deactivated!");
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onLeftClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        if(isReaching == true){
            if(event.getAction().equals(Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) || event.getAction().equals(Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK)){
                Block targetBlock = event.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200);
                targetBlock.breakNaturally();
            }
        }
    }
}

It doesn't break the targetBlock. The only working function of this plugin is the /bbyreach activate and deactivate.

 

You never register your listener.

 

Awww shet.

One more question: How do you place a block instead of destroy?

Code:

    public void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        if(isReaching == true){
            if(event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) || event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)){
                Block targetBlock = event.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200);
                targetBlock.??
            }
        }
    }
}

if(player.hasPermission("bbyreach.reach") || player.isOp()){

can be replaced with:

if(player.hasPermission("bbyreach.reach")){

because ops always have permission.

}else if(isReaching == true){

can be replaced with:

}else{

because if isReaching isn't true, it must be false.

It's also a good thing to check if the CommandSender is a player before you cast it as one.

I'm a programming nazi.

Doublepost, I'm far too lazy to fix that.

The way I do it is ugly, but it works. You need to do something like this:

Code:

Block lastBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 1);
 
for(int i = 2; i <= 200; i++){
    Block current = player.getTargetBlock(null, i);
   
    if(!current.getType().equals(Material.AIR))
        break;
    else
        lastBlock = current;
}
// lastBlock is the block you want to change

Where is the double post?

 

Kinda OT, but I just made one.

Did my answer help you?

 

Question!

I got the right click and stuff down, but I am unsure how to get the block above the target block, and place the block in hand there. Thanks for your answer, though. Here is my current code:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        if(isReaching == true){
            if(event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) || event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)){
                Block targetBlock = event.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200);
                Location targetBlockLocation = targetBlock.getLocation();
                Player player = event.getPlayer();
                Bukkit.getWorld("world").getBlockAt(targetBlockLocation).setTypeId(player.getItemInHand().getTypeId());
            }
        }
    }
}

How would I get the block's Y coordinate and add one block to it?

 

Please don't state false information! Even ops do NOT always have permissions! They ONLY have it by default if it set to either "true" or "op" in your plugin.yml!

use targetBlockLocation.add(0, 1, 0);

 

Ah, yes. Thank you.
