Solved Shoot lightning at target block

I was wondering how to shoot lightning at the block a player is looking at cause i updated my plugin to 1.8 and it seems the way u do it has changed so i was wondering if anyone know how to strike lightning at the block a player is looking at?

 

Code:

  @EventHandler
   public void playerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
     Player player = e.getPlayer();
     if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
       if(player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BLAZE_ROD){
         Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50);
         player.getWorld().strikeLightningEffect(block.getLocation());
       }
     }
   }

Untested, but I remember it was done this way.

 

It undnerlines Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50); in red

What does it say if you hove over it with your mouse?
What version of Bukkit are you using?
Alsou do you have these imports?

Code:

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;

 

@ArmyArmy it says: reference to getTargetBlock is ambiguous, both metho getTargetBlock(<HashSet<byte>, int) in living LivingEntity and method getTargetBlock(<SetMaterial>, int) in LivingEntity match.

idk what that means, and yeah i have those imports

 

Try this then

Code:

  @EventHandler
   public void playerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
     Player player = e.getPlayer();
     if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
       if(player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BLAZE_ROD){
         Set<Material> transparent = new HashSet<Material>();
         transparent.add(Material.AIR);
         Block block = player.getTargetBlock(transparent, 50);
         player.getWorld().strikeLightningEffect(block.getLocation());
       }
     }
   }

 

@ArmyArmy it worked, thank you very much for your help have been trying to work this out for 2 days now, thanks again
