GroundLevel

I'm trying to spawn a chest and add items to it and one of the problems I've encountered is spawning it at ground level how would I do that?

 

spawning it at ground level? are you currently spawning it in the air or what?

 

I'm trying to make y groundlevel so it always spawns on the ground insteade of y being like 80 its groundlevel for the block its at or I should say one block above ground level

 

Ah so you want to get the highest real block (not air) at a position (X,Y)

PHP:

/** @var $level pocketmine\level\Level */
/** @var $x int */
/** @var $y int */
$highestBlockY = $level->getHighestBlockAt($x, $z);
$y = $highestBlockY + 1;
//now spawn your chest at $x, $y, $z


 

Y'all know that this won't work right ? Chest can't be opened when it's far more than blocks from the player (Client side)

 

he is populating a map with random chests for players to find. Your comment is useless to this thread.

 

If you want to avoid placing the chest block on a non-solid block to make it look natural, you can check for transparency of the block at $highestBlockY (from robske's reply)

PHP:

$blockBeneath = $level->getBlockAt($x, $highestBlockY, $z);
$canPlaceChest = !$blockBeneath->isTransparent() && !$blockBeneath->isFlowable();
if($canPlaceChest){
    //place chest at ($x, $y, $z)
}


This is just to avoid things like these from happening, but will also avoid chest from being placed on glass too.

 

i didn't undertsand what he wanted.

 

and hey your comment is useless aswell

 

Both of those comments are useless also! So is this one!

 

If you feel insulted, I didn't want to do that at all, sorry.
Even more useless comment(s)!
