Multiple block placement end position

yahwho · Feb 19th 2018

Within the onPlayerPlaceBlock event there is:

Code

event.isMultiplePlacement()


event.getMultiplePlacementDirection();


event.getMultiplePlacementCount();

It would be really useful to be able to get the end x, y, z chunk position.

Currently I'm struggling to understand how I can get this and not from lack of trying. . . ( I shall continue my testing )

OK I think may have it.

Code

if (blockDirection == 1) { //we're going x+ axis
                    int i = event.getBlockPositionX() + (event.getMultiplePlacementCount()-1 );
                    System.out.println("i="+i);
                    if ( i > 60 ) {
                        System.out.println("We've gone into the next FOUR chunks!");
                        return;
                    }   
                    else if ( i > 45 ) {
                        System.out.println("We've gone into the next THREE chunks!");
                        return;
                    }   
                     else if ( i > 30 ) {
                        System.out.println("We've gone into the next TWO chunks!");
                        return;
                    }   
                     else if ( i > 15 ) {
                        System.out.println("We've gone into the next chunk!");
                        return;
                    }   
                }

Just need to create 6 if statements and flesh out the code.

I'm assuming player is in none-creative mode (max stack 64)

hmmm maybe @red51 can also add some methods to get the end block and end chunk information without the need for such a "complex/redundant" if statement in the plugin.

Yes that would be much better, but at least I can accomplish my goal in the meantime.

bump @red51 just in case you missed this

Its not that hard

int AreaIDx = (int) evt.getChunkPositionX();
int AreaIDy = (int) evt.getChunkPositionY();
int AreaIDz = (int) evt.getChunkPositionZ();

// block start is always 000 and end is always 15 63 15
Vector3i StartBlock = new Vector3i(0, 0, 0);
Vector3i EndBlock = new Vector3i(15, 63, 15);
Vector3i StartChunk = new Vector3i(AreaIDx, AreaIDy, AreaIDz);
Vector3i EndChunk = new Vector3i(AreaIDx, AreaIDy, AreaIDz);

Is that not for chunks yahgiggle? I'm talking about placing rows of blocks within multiple chunks. A new row of blocks placed inside a chunk can have any x y z of anything between (15,63,15). But the end block will also just have a vector value between (15,64,15,), I was finding out what game chunk the end of blocks went into.
