Solved Placing player heads!

I have a method to get the top 3 players of my minigame. How can i put a player head at a location with the player skin?

 

you need to get the player meta, then set the block however you want it

 

yewtree8 can you give me an example please?

 

Oo-Zakk-oO

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event){
     ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1);
     head.setDurability((short) 3);
     SkullMeta skullmeta = (SkullMeta)head.getItemMeta();
     skullmeta.setOwner(event.getEntity().getName());
     head.setItemMeta(skullmeta);
     ((LivingEntity) event.getEntity().getWorld().spawnEntity(event.getEntity().getLocation(), EntityType.ZOMBIE)).getEquipment().setHelmet(head);
    }

getting the head and setting the head on a zombie,

 

yewtree8 well thats an itemstack its not a block...

yewtree8 i cant get a block item meta since its not an item...

I have this but all i see is steves head:

Code:

    Location loc = getfileloc("config", null, "winsigns.ff");
                    Block b = loc.getBlock();
                    b.setTypeIdAndData(Material.SKULL.getId(), (byte)1, true);
                    Skull skull = (Skull)b.getState();
                    skull.setSkullType(SkullType.PLAYER);
                    skull.setOwner(name);
                    skull.update(true);

Oo-Zakk-oO I have the exact same problem, seems like modifying the skullType does not change anything.

 

Oo-Zakk-oO it works for me, if you set it as an itemstack then you will receive a block that is the player's head in the shape of a playerhead, you can't modify the skulltype because it is there.

 

bump?

 

Code:java

block.setData((byte)0x1);
BlockState state = block.getState();
 
if(state instanceof Skull)
{
    Skull skull = (Skull)state;
 
    skull.setRotation(BlockFace.SOUTH_SOUTH_EAST);
    skull.setSkullType(SkullType.PLAYER);
    skull.setOwner("Notch");
    skull.update();
}

yewtree8 He doesn't want it in someone's inventory. He wants to actually place the block through the code.

 

YES thank you! I love you Laekh no homo..
