It would save a ton of wiring (not to mention clocks bogging down the server) if pistons could be set to activate automatically whenever there is a block in front of them to push. Ideally, this would be a special type of piston, activated by putting a sign on a non-sticky piston. Is this possible with Bukkit?
That is a really nice idea! So normally it would be intracted (= not extracted). And when a block apears in front of it, it extracts, pushes the block, and intracts. I think this is possible with bukkit. But I am new to bukkit (and Java) so I am not sure if I can do it...
Looks like matter123 is considering adding this to his plugin: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fu...add-extra-functionality-to-pistons-953.25129/ I'll keep this updated based on whether he does or not.
I tried to hook into a 'block moved' event but couldnt find one But maybe piston events will come in the next recommended build: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/request-piston-events.24150/#post-466642
