Sign placement question.

How would I get the text of a sign that has just been placed? When I use the getData part while useing the Player_Item event I get some jibberish data even before I set the text.

seems that I probably cant unless they make a hook, oh well, looks like I'm going to hack at it.

 

RAWR!

Code:

    BlockState block = event.getBlock().getState();
    if ((block instanceof Sign)) {
      Sign sign = (Sign)block;
      String line = sign.getLine(1);

 

I did need that bit, but I dont believe that grabs the text from a freshly placed sign. I could be wrong though.

oh, and thanks much for the help!

 

When is the sign going to be called? After the player places a sign? When they right click it? When notch logs in then starts stealing stuff from chests ?

 

haha, I thought I mentioned it would be right when the player places the sign and after they set its text.

 

oh sorry
I dunno, you could try

Code:

    BlockState block = event.getBlock().getState();
    if ((block instanceof Sign)) {
      Sign sign = (Sign)block;
      String line = sign.getLine(1);
       while(sign.getLine(1) != "" || sign.getLine(2) != "" || sign.getLine(3) != "" || sign.getLine(4) != "")
        {
          sign.getLine(1).setLine("What");
        }
    }

note I havent tested this. not even sure thats how you set a line with signs

 

it just seems that I was asking for something overly complicated. ah well. I shall do something about it one way or another. Thanks for the help!
