IBlockState#getValue(IProperty) is what you are looking for. IBlockState is sometimes already sometimes provided to you by Minecraft (things like interacting with blocks), or you get it using World#getBlockState(BlockPos). As an IProperty, you parse the property that contains the EnumFacing. Unless MCreator uses a for whatever reason a custom implementation, you just need to parse BlockHorizontal.FACING. The returned value is going to be of type EnumFacing, which you can compare to any value you want and then execute the rest of the code.

The code should look basically like this:
 

EnumFacing facing = (EnumFacing)iblockstate.getValue(BlockHorizontal.FACING);
if(facing == EnumFacing.NORTH){
//do stuff....
}

Tavonis, if you want to do this with MCreator, you will have to wait a bit as we have this feature in plan but was not added yet.
