Dispenser direction on block place

I am trying to get the direction of a dispenser on block place but the direction is always south on the event. However anytime after this will show the correct direction of the block.

Any ideas?

 

This should get the rotation:

Code:java

Location dispenser = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), 1, 1, 1);
                  BlockState state = leaderhead1.getBlock().getState();
                  if (state instanceof Dispenser) {
                      Dispenser d = (Dispenser) state;
                            String blockface = d.getRotation();
                            //Use the String blockface however you'd like
                  }

Haven't tested, but it should work.

 

This would return the same state as previous. The problem isn't that I can't get the state, the problem is that on block place Bukkit returns its default state rather than the actual state. If I try and get the state of the block on any other event after its placed it returns the correct state.

So what you are saying is that you are trying to prevent the lag that happens when the block is placed to prevent the small "flip" to the correct direction, right?

 

I'm trying to get the direction of the dispenser as it is placed.

The dispenser is updated after BlockPlaceEvent is fired, put your task to a 1 or 2 tick delay.

 

I'll try that thanks.
