Create a 3x3x3 whole every 10 blocks

Hi there. I was wondering how to create a 3x3x3 whole with a piece of glowstone in the middle of that whole every 10 blocks.

 

Look into world edit API and/or Cube regions

@TheCodingCat
Is there not any easier way?

I can't think of a way to make it so it skips every 10 blocks then makes a 3x3x3 hole by setting it to air, then going another 10 blocks then making another 3x3x3 hole, etc.

 

Location#add
Location#remove
????

 

@TheCodingCat
example?

 

@MooshViolet http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/da/dac/classorg_1_1bukkit_1_1Location.html

 

@Skionz
Call me an idiot and slap me hard but I have already read through that a hundred times but which one should I use to just simply get every 10 blocks

 

@MooshViolet

Something like:

Code:

Location startLocation;

for(int i = 0; i < somenumber; i+=10) {
   setBlocksAround(startLocation.getWorld().getLocationAt(x,y,z+i));
}

With setBlocksAround being a method that surrounds a location with glowstone.

 

@mythbusterma
Well the intent was to make a 3x3x3 hole with one piece of glowstone in the center

 

@MooshViolet

So make setBlocksAround do that?

 

@mythbusterma
so here is the code:

Code:

        Location startLocation;

        for(int i = 0; i < 4096; i+=10) {
           setBlocksAround(startLocation.getWorld().getLocationAt(x,y,z+i));
        }

So I am getting an error saying getLocationAt is "undefined for the type world"

 

@MooshViolet

Yea....I messed that up, treat it as pseudocode.

 

@mythbusterma
so it should be what?

 

@MooshViolet

Create a for loop that iterates over ten blocks, then create a hole there.

 

@MooshViolet He gave you pseudocode. The point of pseudocode is to tell you what to do without actually doing it for you. I am positive you can find everything you need on the Javadocs.

 

@mythbusterma Thats the problem, I do not know how to create a loop that iterates over ten blocks.

 

@MooshViolet https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html

 

@Skionz
I know java dude. I simply am stuck on creating an actual hole in the ground after the 10 blocks.

 

@MooshViolet

Set the blocks around it to air?

 

@mythbusterma
Well. I wouldn't have made a thread if it sounded that easy to me

 

@MooshViolet

Well, it is that easy.

 

@mythbusterma
I need more help than what I already know. i need to know how to delete it in a 3x3x3 square

 

@MooshViolet

Get the Block at a location, set it to air, then move in a circle.

 

Ok I think I almost got it, how do I move it in a circle?

 

@MooshViolet

Get blocks relative to the location?

 

@mythbusterma
then how do i get it every 10 block

 

@MooshViolet

You haven't provided any context at all. Why is this so difficult? I've told you how to get a location, and someone else has demonstrated what a for-loop is. Just put them together.

 

@mythbusterma
I appreciate the help, but I want that for everywhere around the world, not just a specific location that I will have to specify over and over again.

 

@MooshViolet Do it on chunk load. Iterate over the blocks in the chunk loaded.

 

@Rocoty
Have never really messed with the chunks, how would I do that?

@Rocoty
Should I do the event?
