getLightLevel of a block clicked.

The light level seems to always be 0. I've read posts about having to get the blockFace, but that takes an arg?

Code:java

        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if (!player.isOp()){           
            if (event.getBlockPlaced().getType().equals(Material.TORCH)){
                player.sendMessage("Light level: " + event.getBlockAgainst().getLightLevel());
                if (event.getBlockAgainst().getLightLevel() < 9){
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Torch placed, will last for 20 seconds");
                    Torch.addTorch(event.getBlock().getLocation());
 
                    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
                    BukkitTask regen = new TorchExtinguishRunnable(plugin, event.getBlock().getLocation()).runTaskLater(plugin, 400);
                } else {
                    event.setCancelled(true);
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "(It's not dark enough here for a torch)");
                }
 
            } else {
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }

 

Scullyking I think the block on which the torch is placed is solid and can't have another ll that 0. Try to check the ll of the torch block.

 

Hm, well the light level of the torch block is 13. I guess I have to look for the nearest air block and grab it's level?

 

Scullyking That should work, yes.

 

Scullyking Use the replaced block's state (BlockPlaceEvent has a method that returns it), and check the light level of that.
