[dark coral]

no problem!

thy so much, i'll try ❤️

[dark coral]

so like now i've got the position as location and want to append it the direction. where do i get it out of the raytrace and how do i append it to a location object?

[tardy sage]

?

get the hit block

get the hit face

[dark coral]

RayTraceResult rayTraceResult = ((Player) sender).rayTraceBlocks((double) 5);
Block block = rayTraceResult.getHitBlock();
BlockFace blockFace = rayTraceResult.getHitBlockFace();
assert block != null;
block.setType(Material.AIR);
Location location = block.getLocation();
location.setDirection() // TODO:
World world = ((Player) sender).getWorld();
placeItemFrame(world, location, ids);

[dark coral]

and how do i insert it to location after i've got it?

[dark coral]

here's what place itemframe does: (just that you have an overview of what i wanna do)

private ItemStack modifyMap(int i, int[] ids) {
  ItemStack map = new ItemStack(Material.FILLED_MAP);
  MapMeta mapMeta = (MapMeta) map.getItemMeta();
  mapMeta.setMapId(ids[i]);
  map.setItemMeta(mapMeta);
  return map;
}

private void placeItemFrame(World world, Location location, int[] ids) {
  ItemFrame itemFrame = (ItemFrame) world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.ITEM_FRAME);
  itemFrame.setFixed(true);
  itemFrame.setVisible(false);
  itemFrame.setItem(modifyMap(0, ids));
}

[tardy sage]

get rid of the world parameter

extract the world from location

RayTraceResult rtResult = ((Player) sender).rayTraceBlocks(5d);
if (rtResult == null) {
    return;
}
Block block = rtResult.getHitBlock();
if (block == null) {
    return;
}

Block toFrame = block.getRelative(rtResult.getHitBlockFace());
placeItemFrame(toFrame.getLocation(), ids);

[dark coral]

perfect thy, i'll test it 😄

whats the problem?!? why does it prefer this block direction?

[tardy sage]

you have to set the direction

are you making a spray plugin

[dark coral]

a poster maker... so like map art out of image url

have to go to school now, but i'll be back in like 45 mins

[dark coral]

how to set it? it isn't stored in the location object?

[dark coral]

i took exactly this code and made some small changes, but nothing with hit face or location

[tardy sage]

itemFrame.setFacingDirection(blockFace)

[dark coral]

okee thy so much for all your support ❤️
