Get Door Status

Hey guys,
I'm going to be making a plugin that involves doors.
Was wondering if there's a way to get whether a door is open or close and how to switch a door to open or close position.

Door d = (Door)block.getState().getData();
if (d.isOpen()){

 

that answers one of his questions, but how do you open or close the door?

 

Thanks for that marinating, but how do i close the door once i know its open? Or open it when its closed.

You should be able to setData() it but I don't know what the data would be ever since the bukkit api updated and removed the extremely helpful .java source files.

I implore somebody who has the power to change the javadocs back to the way it was before, with a search bar and source code.

 

That would be very useful

 

havn't had time to test it but this might work

PHP:

Door door = (Door)event.getBlock().getState();
byte state=door.getData();
byte nstate=(byte) (1-state);
door.setData(nstate);

because I belive a byte of 1 is open and 0 is closed, I may be wrong

 

Door isn't a BlockState, it's a MaterialData

Code:

Door door = (Door)block.getState().getData();
block.setData(door.getData() ^ 4);

Should reverse the state, if it's open it will close, if it's shut it will open,
didn't test this either.

 

@Shamebot : I forgot about "^", that helps a bit, also oops, I must have deleted that somehow, cause I had getData() before when I posted it...

 

Well i want it so if its open, it closes and if its closed it stays close. So i guess id do a if else statement.

Eg if door open
close
else
stay closed

 

ok then :

PHP:

Door door = (Door)block.getState().getData();
if(d.isOpen()){
    block.setData(door.getData() ^ 4);
}

 

Or:

Code:

Door door = (Door)block.getState().getData();
block.setData(door.getData() | 4);

If you're not familiar with binary operations | means, OR for example:
1001 (example door data)
0100 (=4)
------
1101
btw doors can have different hinges, so a closed door in a wall might look open.

witha little more math you could get the hinge, and work with that.

 

Yeah, but it's a lot easier to read the code if you use Door.getHingeCorner() and use some Ifs

 

@Shamebot : that's exactly what I was meaning

 

Thanks i'll have a look at that
