X,Y,Z and Block Placement

Ok So I posted a thread earlier, but I don't think it was fully understood of what I asked for. I will be clearer. I am developing a plugin in which the player types a command and a small house made of wood pops up. It is meerly, but a frame. It is 5 by 5 blocks and it is 3 blocks high on the outer walls but then is 4 blocks high in the middle 4 by 4 hollow area. I have setup everything in the plugin to work except for the house being placed. What line(s) of code would I use to get the player's postion then in front of them (3 to 5 blocks away) have the blocks be placed.

P.S. Is there a source for all the code? Like an encyclopedia of bukkit code?

 

Location loc = Player.getLocation();
Loc.setX(loc.getX() + 2);
//loc = bottom corner of the house!

 

So is the X a coordinate or the matireal or is (loc.getX(This) + 2); the matirial

 

Set the material at the loc.

 

So Loc.setX(plank.getX() + 2)

 

Nonono... Your setting the loc to the blocks position! You want to set the blocks position to loc!
Plank.setLocation(loc);

 

Ok So I will if I want multiple blocks multiple Location loc1 or loc2 and so on

 

Im not on a computer right now but I made something like this and i only had to make one thing for each block...

 

Ok Well I ll try thanks

P.S. Where does everyone learn all this from

 

From here.

 

Whoa Cool THANK YOU

 

Hahaha no problem...

 

Wait Plank.setLocation(loc); give me an error saying: Plank cannot be resolved

 

Because you didn't make the variable plank... Instead do loc.getBlock.setTypeId(Material.PLANK);

 

Ok

 

Did that work?? Because you are now changing an AIR block to a PLANK block...

 

getBlock can't be resolved

 

oops, loc.getBlock().setTypeId(Material.PLANK);

 

Ok thanks

 

Does it work???

 

is it getBlock or placeBlock because I tested it and it failed

 

It should be getBlock() because it gets he block at the defined loc and sets the typeId to plank?!

 

Well I did it and nothing happened at all.

Code:

package me.pirogun.House;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class House extends JavaPlugin {

    public static final Logger Log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");

    boolean win;
    Player player;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

        Log.info("[House] has been enabled");
    }
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {

        Log.info("[ServerInfo] has been disabled");
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("house")) {
            win = false;
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if(args.length == 0) {
                if(player.hasPermission("house.house")){

                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "House is used to make a small 5x5x4 house");
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "This plugin is only allowed to Admins and up");
                    win = false;
                }else{
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "ERROR, NOT ENOUGH PERMISSIONS");
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
        if (args.length == 1){

            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("build")) {
                if(player.hasPermission("house.build")) {

                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "w00t, Your house has been built");
                    Location loc = player.getLocation();
                    loc.setX(loc.getX() +2);
                    loc.getBlock().setType(Material.WOOD);
 
                }else{
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "ERROR, NOT ENOUGH PERMISSIONS");
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
        return win;
    }
}

 

You don't even have a command listener...

 

Well Ok course I knew that... What is that?

 

@Chiller, you're going about this wrong and it can be simplified.
@Pirogun, try something like this...

Code:

Location loc = player.getLocation().add(x, y, z);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.BEDROCK);

Which in your case would be something like...

Code:

Location loc = player.getLocation().add(2, 0, 0);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.WOOD);

 

So then that means the block is placed 2 blocks away from you?

 

Oh, I didn't see this. I shall delete my last post.

 

But yet he still needs a command listener...

 

How do I adda command listener
