Get block thunder striked

Well i made a plugin which makes thunder strike the player when they join(Not hurting them) Is it possible to get the block the thunder strike'd and put out the fire or cancel the fire effect all together?

It has to come after this code,

Code:java

 
            Location loc = event.getPlayer().getLocation();
            loc.getWorld().strikeLightningEffect(loc);
 

 

Well, you can loop around the player and put out fire in a 5 block radiux, for example

 

And how would i do that?

actually, you can just lay down the thunder effect.

Thats what i am using but it makes the block go on fire even if you delete and replace the block. Is there a way to cancel the fire after the strike?
P.S Fire doesn't hurt the player.

I came up with

if(blockId == 352){
Location location = block.getLocation();
World world = player.getWorld();
world.strikeLightning(Location);

That's when I left click with a bone it strikes, Give me your code and I'll fix it for that to see what I can do

 

Basically after the If player has permission i have this

Code:text

 
            Location loc = player.getLocation();
            loc.getWorld().strikeLightningEffect(loc);
 

Also player is player = event.getPlayer() in the syntax.

 

Dose it work so when you log on it automaticly strikeslightning

 

actually i did test it on stone and it didn't catch fire it must just be sand that catches alight. I will test on different materials later.

If you want to help test here is the plugin release
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/thunderjoinplus/

Actually is there a way so after the lightningstrike effect it does a 1x1 block radius(Basically block they are standing on) To check for fire then if fire is there then it puts it out or changes fire to air?

Here is what didn't catch alight.

Code:

soulsand
glowstone
nether stairs
nether fence
glass pane
iron bars
chest
glass
bookshelfs
stone stairs
cobble stairs
brick stairs
gate
piston
sticky piston
trap door
enchant table

I think the fire is client side. If you log off and on, is the fire still there? If so: There's really fire. If not: It's client side fire.

If it's server side:

Code:java

int radius = 10;
radius /= 2;
World world = loc.getWorld();
Block block;
for(int x = loc.getBlockX() - radius; x < loc.getBlockX() + radius; x++)
    for(int y = loc.getBlockY() - radius; y < loc.getBlockY() + radius; y++)
        for(int z = loc.getBlockZ() - radius; z < loc.getBlockZ() + radius; z++)
        {
            block = world.getBlockAt(x, y, z);
            if(block.getType() == Material.FIRE)
                block.setType(Material.AIR);
        }

If it's client side there are things you can do, too (sending faked block/chunk updates to players who are glitched), but I wouldn't as this just bloats the plugin for almost no reason.

 

I don't think it is completely client side because other players can see that fire when someone joins. But when they logout it disappears. Its confusing if you want to see for your self the plugin is on BukkitDev(Link above somewhere)

 

Just had a look: V10lator had the node ThunderJoin.thunder while Alkoed didn't have it.
Both players joined the game: V10lator with a lighning stike that setted a wool block on fire. Both players were able to see the fire.
Now Alkoed left and re-joined the game. At this point he became the chunk like it is at the server and while V10lator still saw the fire (no block/chunk update from the server, so no need to turn the fire off) Alkoed didn't anymore:


Another proof that the fire is client side: It won't spread nor get off (without a block/chunk update)...

 

ok I will look into a coding a chunk update, If you know how please tell me

xboxhacks Something like that should do the trick:

Code:java

Location loc = player.getLocation(); // The player is the one who striked the lightning
Chunk chunk = loc.getChunk();
List<ChunkCoordIntPair> chunkCoordIntPairQueue;
ChunkCoordIntPair ccip = new ChunkCoordIntPair(chunk.getX(), chunk.getZ());
int threshold = (getServer().getViewDistance() << 4) + 32;
threshold *= threshold;
int px;
int pz;
int cx = chunk.getX() * 16;
int cz = chunk.getZ() * 16;
for(Object o: chunk.world.players)
{
    player = (EntityPlayer)o;
    loc = player.getBukkitEntity().getLocation();
    px = loc.getBlockX() - cx;
    pz = loc.getBlockZ() - cz;
 
    if((px * px) + (pz * pz) < threshold)
    {
        chunkCoordIntPairQueue = (List<ChunkCoordIntPair>)player.chunkCoordIntPairQueue;
        if(!chunkCoordIntPairQueue.contains(ccip))
            chunkCoordIntPairQueue.add(ccip);
    }
}
