Lightning stick help

I am trying to summon lightning where a player is looking using getTargetBlock with the following code:

Code:

p.getWorld().strikeLightning(p.getTargetBlock(null, 50).getLocation());

I get an error on the (null, 50) part.
Error:

Code:

Ambiguous method call. Both getTargetblock (HashSet<Btyte>, int) in LivingEntity and getTargetBlock (Set<Material> int) in LivingEntity match

Any solutions? Thanks

 

@ItsMas_ cast the null value to one of objects that the method requires in its parameters.

 

Could you give an example of this?

 

You don't know how to cast? Check what it requires (I think one of it is a Set of blocks), than cast the null to that. Ambigious method means, that it doesn't know, wich one it needs to choose.

 

Yes, but not on a Bukkit forum. Basic Java should go somewhere else.

 

(Double) 5 casts 5 (an int) into a Double. Now go to your problem.

 

@ItsMas_
I hate spoonfeeding but I'm feeling nice today.

Code:

e.getPlayer().getTargetBlock((Set<Material>) null, 50);

 

I hardly call a single method/line spoonfeeding. It's just sad that there are people who won't take the time to learn the language first.

I was, and in a way still am, one of those people. I regret my decision to learn the API first, but I got there in the end.
