Simulating Piston Events

I was unable to find a way in the API to push or pull blocks as if with a piston. Did I miss anything? Is this planned?

Assuming that I did not miss anything, would it be possible to convert a block next to the target into a piston, activate the piston, and change the block back before anything was transmitted to the client (or prevent transmission to the client)?

Or must one reimplement block movement and then fire the piston events for the benefit of other plugins?

 

Bump.

 

Giving this a bump too. I was wondering if you could send a block push event to a block so you can simulate a block push/retract action without having a piston.

 

Make sure to ask FriedTaco first but theres this https://github.com/FriedTaco/MorePh...aco/MorePhysics/MorePhysicsBlockListener.java

 

That looks as though it merely adds another (potentially useful) event. I'm looking to tell Craftbukkit to push a block as if via piston.

 

*push*
any possibility to push a block like a piston(without nms hacking)?
"a fake piston block " push
