BlockPlaceEvent for server?

I'm creating a plugin that when you click with a stick it will place 2 portals in front of you (All done) all I need to know now is, how do you check if the server placed the blocks? Because I need to add the blocks to a Hashmap so I can remove the blocks later, but BlockPlaceEvent only calls if a player places a block.

So does anyone know?

 

When you specify what blocks to add and where, can't you just add them to a hashmap then?

 

When you right-click with the stick, just add a line of code after you place the portals in the world, adding them to the hashmap.

Ok, I've done that, but now it only removes the block you clicked, yet i need it to remove the blocks above it. Here's my code.

Code:java

event.getPlayer();
Location loc = event.getClickedBlock().getLocation();
final Block block = loc.getBlock();
 
loc.setY(loc.getY() + 1);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.PORTAL);
loc.setY(loc.getY() + 1);
loc.getBlock().setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
 
portal.add(block);
 
new BukkitRunnable() {
public void run() {
if(portal.contains(block)) {
block.breakNaturally();
}
}
}.runTaskLater(core, core.getConfig().getInt("BlockRemover"));

 

Code:java

 
event.getPlayer();
Location loc = event.getClickedBlock().getLocation();
 
loc.add(0, 1, 0);
final Block block1 = loc.getBlock();
block1.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
loc.add(0, 1, 0);
final Block block2 = loc.getBlock();
block2.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
 
portal.add(block1);
portal.add(block2);
 
new BukkitRunnable() {
    public void run() {
        if(portal.contains(block)) {
            block1.breakNaturally();
            block2.breakNaturally();
        }
    }
}.runTaskLater(core, core.getConfig().getInt("BlockRemover"));
 

Also, here's how I would do it so you dont have to set things final. (just a rough draft, not tested, but gives you an idea)

Code:java

 
 
// Your listener class
 
Location loc = event.getClickedBlock().getLocation();
 
loc.add(0, 1, 0);
Block block1 = loc.getBlock();
block1.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
loc.add(0, 1, 0);
Block block2 = loc.getBlock();
block2.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
portal.add(block1);
portal.add(block2);
 
new BreakBlocks(block1, block2).runTaskLater(core, core.getConfig().getInt("BlockRemover"));
 
 
 
//BreakBlocks.java
 
public class BreakBlocks implements BukkitRunnable {
    private Block block1;
    private Block block2;
 
    public BreakBlocks(Block block1, Block block2) {
        this.block1 = block1;
        this.block2 = block2;
    }
 
    @Override
    public void run() {
        block1.breakNaturally();
        block2.breakNaturally();
    }
}

Still does the exact same thing

Code:java

event.getPlayer();
                    Location loc = event.getClickedBlock().getLocation();
                    final Block block = loc.getBlock();
 
                    loc.add(0, 1, 0);
                    final Block block1 = loc.getBlock();
                    block1.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
                    loc.add(0, 1, 0);
                    final Block block2 = loc.getBlock();
                    block2.setType(Material.PORTAL);
 
                    portal.add(block1);
                    portal.add(block2);
 
                    new BukkitRunnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            if (portal.contains(block1)
                                    || portal.contains(block2)) {
                                block.breakNaturally();
                            }
                        }
                    }.runTaskLater(core, core.getConfig()
                            .getInt("BlockRemover"));

Just realized that I need to change || to &&, but either way it still doesn't work.

Thats because you are breaking block, not block1 and block2.

Would you look at that lol thanks

 

Also might want to check out what I said in post #6 about how to avoid making your variables final. I think its cleaner, anyway.
