Getting location of a placed block

So, I am coding an endermage kit and I want to get the location of the placed portal block, and teleport a player to it, how would i do this? Thanks!

 

In BlockPlaceEvent you can get the location of the block: event.getBlock().getLocation()

 

EcMiner

if i did

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e){
        if (e.getBlock().getType().equals(Material.PORTAL)){
            Location loc1 = e.getBlock().getLocation();{
            }
        }
    }

how would I be able to access that in a different eventhandler?

 

What do you mean?
You could just make a "global location", then changing it..
Location block = null;
then in event, just set it to the location.

 

@TheAnsweIsMinecraft Store it in a list.

GaaTavares that's not a solution. Let's say 1 guy places a portal and you save it to your "global location" and someone else does the same thing just after that, that would override the already existing location, which makes it impossible to access later on because when you try that you would get the location of the block of someone else...

 

Yes I know that's just for 1 guy, but he didn't explain really what he wants x_x
That's what i was going to say.

Endermage is a kit where the endermage places down his portal and players near him, and him, are teleported to that location. here is my code:
(First EventHandler)

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerEndermage(PlayerInteractEvent e){
      Player p = e.getPlayer();
      if (endermage.contains(p.getName())){
      if (e.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.PORTAL) && (e.getItem().getTypeId() == Material.PORTAL.getId()) && (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) && (e.getClickedBlock() != null)){
        e.setCancelled(true);
        Material item = e.getItem().getType();
        if (item == Material.PORTAL) {
          List<Entity> nearby = p.getNearbyEntities(3.0D, 256.0D, 3.0D);
          for (Entity ent : nearby){
            if (ent instanceof Player){
              ((Player)ent).teleport(loc1);
              p.teleport(loc1);
            }
          }
          if (nearby.size() >= 1) {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Teleported " + ChatColor.GREEN + ((Player)nearby).getName() + " to you!");
            ((Player) nearby).sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You have been teleported to " + ChatColor.GREEN + p.getName());
              }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Second EventHandler:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e){
        if (endermage.contains(e.getPlayer())){
        if (e.getBlock().equals(Material.PORTAL)){
            Location loc1 = e.getBlock().getLocation();
            }
        }
    }

How exactly should I approach this?

ok so i tried doing: Location loc1 = (Location) e.getClickedBlock();
and teleporting the players there but it didn't work. Help? GaaTavares EcMiner

Ok I got it thanks everyone lol

Sure: using block place event rather than interact

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerEndermage(BlockPlaceEvent e){
      Player p = e.getPlayer();
      if (endermage.contains(p.getName())){
      if (e.getBlockPlaced().getType() == Material.PORTAL){
        e.setCancelled(true);
        final Block b = e.getBlock();
        Location loc1 = b.getLocation();
          List<Entity> nearby = p.getNearbyEntities(3.0D, 256.0D, 3.0D);
          for (Entity ent : nearby){
            if (ent instanceof Player){
              ((Player)ent).teleport(loc1);
              p.teleport(loc1);
            }
          }
          if (nearby.size() >= 1) {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Teleported " + ChatColor.GREEN + ((Player)nearby).getName() + " to you!");
            ((Player) nearby).sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You have been teleported to " + ChatColor.GREEN + p.getName());
          }
        }
      }
    }
