Help with signs

How would I go about getting the lines of a sign on the player interact event

it seems that (Sign)event.getClickedBlock().getState().getLines(0) doesnt work

it gives a red error line under the .getLines(0)

 

String[] lines = ((Sign)event.getClickedBlock().getState()).getLines();

 

Hmm I'm still getting cannot find symbol

 

There are two objects called "Sign" in Bukkit. Make sure you are importing the correct one.

 

Code:java

package com.arnie.sh2.Listeners;
 
import com.arnie.sh2.Main;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.material.Sign;
 
 
public class SignGeneratorListener implements Listener
{
@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.NORMAL)
public void OutpostClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){
 
Action action = event.getAction();
Player player = event.getPlayer();
Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
 
if ((action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) && (event.getClickedBlock() != null) && (block.getType() == Material.SIGN_POST) && (((Sign)event.getClickedBlock().getState()).getLine(0).toString().equalsIgnoreCase(Main.config.getString("Stronghold2.Sign.Name"))))){
 
}
}
}

 

Yep, you need to be using org.bukkit.block.Sign there, not org.bukkit.material.Sign.

And if your lines of code are getting that long, it's a good sign you need to consider a little reformatting, e.g.:

PHP:

if (action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && block != null) {
  if (block.getType == Material.SIGN_POST) {  // do you want to also check for WALL_SIGN?
    Sign sign = (Sign)block.getState();
    if (sign.getLine(0).equalsIgnoreCase(Main.config.getString("Stronghold2.Sign.Name"))) {
      // ...
    }
  }
}


Just a suggestion

 

thank you it works
