Getting block sign is on.

Hey guys im new to plugin development,
How do i get the block a sign is on when you right click the sign?
Much appreciated.

 

someBlock.getFace(BlockFace.DOWN)

returns the block below the block 'someBlock'

 

That will only work if the sign is of type Material.SIGN_POST, if it's Material.WALL_SIGN however then something along these lines should work:

Code:

Block parent = null;
if (block.getType() == Material.WALL_SIGN) {
	if (block.getData() == 0x2) {
		parent = block.getFace(BlockFace.WEST);
	} else if (block.getData() == 0x3) {
		parent = block.getFace(BlockFace.EAST);
	} else if (block.getData() == 0x4) {
		parent = block.getFace(BlockFace.SOUTH);
	} else if (block.getData() == 0x5) {
		parent = block.getFace(BlockFace.NORTH);
	}
} else if (block.getType() == Material.SIGN_POST) {
	parent = block.getFace(BlockFace.DOWN);
}

If parent is still null afterwards then it's not a sign that you're checking. This is of course off the top of my head and isn't tested, so may require some adjustments.

 

Had to make a new account. The other one screwed up. :S
Anyway just wanted to state my thanks.
It was a wall sign i needed.
