Getting a blocks direction and meta vlue

Hi, Im making a plugin that has a feature that makes it so then when you destroy a block, it gives the block to you, but then a set amount of time later, the block rests. Here is my code, but as you could have guessed, it doesnt work properly.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onBreak(final BlockBreakEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.LOG){
            p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.LOG));
            p.giveExp(2);
            new BukkitRunnable(){
                public void run(){
                    e.getBlock().setType(Material.LOG);
                }
            }.runTaskLater(plugin, 20L);
        }
    }

The code works fine, but when i destroy for example, a birch wood block, it replaces it with oak, and if its sideways, then it replaces it up and down

any help?

 

bobthefish Store the current BlockState when the event is executed, then in your scheduler, call update() on it

 

xTigerRebornx Someone else told me to do that, But Im not sure how to call the update method, where do I put it?

 

bobthefish In the run method that is in your BukkitRunnable, so that it is called at the end of the delay

 

xTigerRebornx OK, so something like:

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onBreak(final BlockBreakEvent e){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.LOG){
p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.LOG));
final BlockState b = e.getBlock().getState();
p.giveExp(2);
new BukkitRunnable(){
public void run(){
b.update();
}
}.runTaskLater(plugin, 20L);
}

 

bobthefish Yeah, that looks like it would be fine.

 

xTigerRebornx It doesnt work, the block never comes back again

 

bobthefish One thing I noticed, use update(true) so that it forces the update, as calling it with no parameters won't update it if the type is different.

 

@ xTigerRebornx Ok OK, Ill try that

xTigerRebornx Nope, same effect :/

can anybody else help me?

bobthefish Can I see the code you tried?

 

xTigerRebornx here it is:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onBreak(final BlockBreakEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.LOG){
            p.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.LOG));
            final BlockState b = e.getBlock().getState();
            p.giveExp(2);
            new BukkitRunnable(){
                public void run(){
                    b.update(true);
                }
            }.runTaskLater(plugin, 20L);
        }
    }

Bump?
