How to add Road detection to this 2x1 template?

[temporal8]

Hi, I started testing my town set and have already included a few buildings with 2x2 and 2x1 templates, the problem of course is my little knowledge (or no knowledge) of coding.

Each of my houses has 4 views since initially it was going to be an eyecandy set and I would like to be able to take advantage of it for my town set, that the houses can detect the roads and orient themselves correctly. In another topic Eddi and Andrew helped me and I already have it working for 1x1 templates but now I want to do it for 2x1.

I know that doing it for 4 views would perhaps be a lot to ask and I honestly do not know if it is possible to have 4 different views in a House as you have in the eyecandy objects, so im thinking to do it only for 1 view and repeat that Code/house 4 times changing the graphic and the orientation, In that way a eyecandy house with 4 different views / oriented graphics would actually become inside the code in 4 different houses, one for view / detected road.

I just need to know how to add street detection to this example of my set,
I want the house to only appear if it detects a street in SW (1,0)

Thanks in advance guys.
