I thought about this after posting last night.  I tried it today and didnt get it to work.  I tried something along the lines of get block direction.  but it only seem to work if get block direction at xyz =north.  and it places when clicking on any side.  I know its something simple Im just not seeing it.  Im not sure if get block direction is the same as checking block side.  What should i be using
