Checking if a player can build

How do I check if a player can build somewhere? If I have to do it different for every protection plugin, please post on how to do it for WorldGuard.

Thanks in Advanceddd

Code:JAVA

 
@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.MONITOR)
public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
if(event.isCancelled()) {
// They can't build
}
else {
// They can build
}
}
 

 

But how would you do it if they didn't place a block first?

 

What do you mean if they didn't place a block first? He asked about build rights. That listens to a blockplace after all other plugins have cancelled / uncancelled it. If he needs it to check for block breaking too he can just use the same code but BlockBreakEvent.

 

But what if the player didn't actually set off a BlockPlaceEvent, but you have a Player and a Location and want to know, hypothetically, whether they would be allowed to place a block there?

 

maybe fire a BlockPlaceEvent manually ?

 

Yeah cause i was trying to see if someone could build without them building.

Code:

public boolean checkPerms(Player player, Location loc) {
 
WorldGuardPlugin api = (WorldGuardPlugin) getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("worldguard");
 
ApplicableRegionSet regions = api.getRegionManager(loc.getWorld()).getApplicableRegions(loc);
 
LocalPlayer lPlayer = api.wrapPlayer(player);
 
if (regions.size() == 0){
 
return true;
 
}
 
return (regions.allows(DefaultFlag.BUILD, lPlayer) ? true : false);
 
}

Although it would be better to just throw a manual BlockPlaceEvent for all plugins to weigh in rather than just WorldGuard

 

How do you "just throw a manual BlockPlaceEvent for all plugins"?

There is an api for the worldguard plugin. It has an method named canBuild();

You can use it to check if a player can build at a location (in your case the playerlocation)

Do something like this:

Code:JAVA

WorldGuardPlugn wg = (WorldGuardPlugin) Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager(). getPlugin("WorldGuard")
 
if (wg.canBuild(*yourplayerobject*, *YourLocationObject or YourBlockObject) {
    //do something if player can build
} else {
    //do something else if player can't build
}

Sorry if something isn't right I wrote this on my mobile phone

 

I was trying to make it work for all permission plugins but thanks anyways

 

Where do i put the World Guard.jar?

 

I want to make my plugin Towny Compatible, Please anyone can Help? I was told that you can make a fake player that places a block or something like that...? Hmm dunno, help!
