[?] Setting a block to a Nether Portal

I have the following code, but when it runs, it ignores the part with the nether portal (id 90). Is there something i'm missing in terms of putting in Nether Portals?

Code:java

 
    @EventHandler
    public static void onPortalPlace(final BlockPlaceEvent e){
        final Player p = e.getPlayer();
        final Block b = e.getBlockPlaced();
        final Block up = b.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
        final String name = olyWar.getName(p);
        if(olyWar.gameIsActive){
            if(b.getType() == Material.PORTAL && up.getType() == Material.AIR){
                if(olyWar.getTeam(p) == Team.RED) b.setType(Material.NETHERRACK);
                else if(olyWar.getTeam(p) == Team.BLUE) b.setType(Material.LAPIS_BLOCK);
                up.setTypeId(90,false); //the line of code in question
 

 

Does it work with a different block ID? Also test without any other plugins.

 

I tried it with no other plugins, and it did the same.
I replaced '90' with '1' and it did what it was supposed to do, its just not placing the Nether Portal.
I know this is possible because it can be done with VoxelSniper, and as far as im aware, I did the same method it did..

 

Can you place it by hand?

 

The point is that the player places a portal in the location they want and it creates the wool for their team and puts a portal on top of it, so that wouldn't work. I tested it with End Portals and it works, but it would look and run a lot better and Nether Portals.

 

bump. Any ideas?

 

Try cancelling the event after you place the block, I think the server will automatically remove any portals created by a person.

 

Thing is with nether portals is they can not be placed alone. Due to the physics of minecraft.

So what do you do you edit it using the physics events.

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onBlockPhysics(BlockPhysicsEvent ev){
if (ev.isCancelled()) {
return;
}
if(ev.getChangedTypeId() == 90){
ev.setCancelled(true);
return;
}
}
 

 

Ah! A BlockPhysicsEvent! Why didn't I think of that?
Thanks! I'll try that tomorrow!

 

Thanks! That did the trick!

 

Exactly why I asked if you could place them by hand.

But, whatever.
