[SOLVED] block.setType(material) and BlockPlaceEvent

Hello!

With help of my plugin player can change some blocks.
I'm using block.setType(material) method to block changing.

But I would like to handle the block setting with events - BlockPlaceEvent.
For example player building something with my plugin. If he trying to build in protected area my plugin override protections and player can grief. Operations of my plugins are not registered with LogBlock.

Is it possible to place block by plugin and handle it by BlockPlaceEvent?

 

well, you would have to fire a new blockPlaceEvent every time you place a block, but that will cause a lot of problems, since you can't have a player to pass. You can try and find a way to have a virtual player, maybe?

 

If its protected with w.g, you can check to see if there is world guard region and cancel the event.

As for getting LB to register, i suggest you take a look at this

Thank you... But how I can raise BlockPlaceEvent from inside the PlayerInteractEvent (I think in this time I don't need to create a virtual player)

I think trying to learning and supporting API of all private and logging plugins is not best way in that moment (we use three private plugin at our server, LogBlock, one plugin that collect statistics and I don't know how much plugins that handles BlockPlaceEvent and BlockBreakEvent...
I think we need something more universal.

I'm trying to raise BlockPlaceEvent:

Code:java

 
    public BlockPlaceEvent PlaceBlock(Block clickedBlock, Player p, Material newType, byte newData){
        BlockState state = clickedBlock.getState();
        state.setType(Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK);
        state.getData().setData((byte)0);
        Block placedBlock = state.getBlock();
        BlockPlaceEvent event = new BlockPlaceEvent(placedBlock, state, clickedBlock, p.getItemInHand(), p, true);
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);
        return event;
    }
 

BlockPlaceEvent is executing. But dimonds block are not placed.

In a BlockPlaceEvent, event returns:
event.getBlockPlaced() is equal to previous state clicked block and same to event.getBlock();

But event.getBlockReplacedState() is equal to new state (diamond block).

How I must use placedBlock variable to get a new block, not old?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Try something like this:

Code:text

public void onEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event)
{
    ...
    Block block = getTheBlock();
    BlockState oldState = block.getState();
    block.setType(Material.DIAMOND);
    BlockPlaceEvent event = new BlockPlaceEvent(oldState.getBlock(), oldState, block, p.getItemInHand(), p, true);
    Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(event);
    if(event.isCancelled())
    {
        oldState.update(true);
        return;
    }
    ...
}

Thank you very much! You really helped me

Here is my final procedures to place any block with raising the BlockPlaceEvent:

Code:java

 
    public void PlaceBlock(Location loc, Player p, Material newType, byte newData){
        PlaceBlock (loc.getBlock(),p,newType,newData);
    }
 
    public void PlaceBlock(Block block, Player p, Material newType, byte newData){
        BlockState state = block.getState();
        block.setType(newType);
        block.setData(newData);
        BlockPlaceEvent event = new BlockPlaceEvent(state.getBlock(), state, block, p.getItemInHand(), p, true);
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);
        if (event.isCancelled()) state.update(true);
    }
 

 

Np.
But maybe you should use block.setTypeIdAndData instead of block.setType and block.setData?

 

I did just after posting procedures here
