Help, simple issue. :)

How do i get the lines of a sign that i just rightclicked? detected using PlayerInteractEvent.

 

Make sure the action was a right click on a block.
Then check if this block is a WALL_SIGN or a SIGN_POST, and if so,
cast the block to a sign.
Then you can do "mySign.getLines()" or mySign.getLine(linenumber).
Line numbers are 0 to 3.

 

You would make sure that your are right clicking a block by using the PlayerInteractEvent.getAction(). The you would get the block that was clicked (PlayerInteractEvent.getClickedBlock()). Then check if the block is a sign by using...

Code:java

if(e.getClickedBlock().getState().getData() instanceof Sign)

Then using the cast it to a Sing and use getLines(). Hope that helps

 

What do i need to cast to (Sign)? I'm getting errors when i try.

 

Code:java

Sign s = (Sign) e.getClickedBlock().getState().getData();

Don't put e put the event name. and if your still getting errors post the code.

 

ERROR: org.bukkit.material.sign cannot be cast to org.bukkit.block.sign.

Code:

            if (event.getClickedBlock().getType().equals(Material.WALL_SIGN)) {
                Sign sm = (Sign) event.getClickedBlock().getState().getData();
                String l1 = sm.getLine(1);
                String l2 = sm.getLine(2);
                String l3 = sm.getLine(3);
                String l4 = sm.getLine(4);

 

Import the following path: org.bukkit.block.sign
And as I said, the lines of the sign are indexed with 0 to 3 and not 1 to 4.

 

try casting e.getClickedBlock().getState() to sign
