Help!

Hello!

So I'm just going to describe what I want this to do. So I'm using the PlayerInteractEvent for this. Ok, so I want to do so like when I look at a player and right-click a specific item, I want some code to be executed (in this case I want to display this player's inventory). I'm kind of stuck.. and I know this is possible- I just haven't found any method yet. If someone could basicially give the example code, then that would be great!

Much appreciated.

@DoggyCode™
First, "Help!" isn't a good title.
Second, you would get the item in hand, and if it equals.. blah blah then make another if statement checking if they right click a player, then insert code

 

The PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent should run when an entity is right clicked so then just check to see if the entity is a player and then check to see which item the event.getPlayer() has and then if it's the item you want run the code you want

 

Thank you so much! @srspore

 

@DoggyCode™ If you want to do something when a player right clicks an item, you could do something like this:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (event.getItem() != null || event.getItem() != Material.AIR) {
        if (event.getItem().equals(/*Item goes here*/)) {
            if (event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) || event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) {
                // Your code here
            }
        }
    }
}

*phew* Typing that wasn't easy. Anyway, hope this helped.

 

@CodePlaysMinecraft Looks like someone isn't at their IDE :3

 

Haha I'm not usually as stuck as this. But I haven't worked much with inventories, but thanks to you guys I'm almost through! I asked another question to you, @ShadowWizardMC , if you take a look at my most recent thread.

Yeh, I figured that out. I'm not that blank, I just needed to know about that PlayerInteractEvent event, that I somehow didn't know about xD I tried to use another event, where I didn't know how to find the player. Thanks anyways!

And I used this:

Code:

  @EventHandler
   public void onClick(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
     Player p = (Player)event.getPlayer();
     Action a = (Action)event.getAction();
     if (a==Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK || a==Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR){
       ItemStack hand = p.getItemInHand();
       if (p.hasPermission(Permissions.togglestaffmode)) {
         if (hand!=null&&hand.getType()==Material.IRON_FENCE && hand.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("§6Reported Players")) {
           p.openInventory(Main.reports);
           return;
         }
       } else {
         p.sendMessage(RED + "You're not allowed to do that");
         Bukkit.broadcast(RED + "Staff Tools: " + GOLD + p.getName() + RED + " tried to use a §6Staff Tool §cthat they somehow got, I'd suggest you get rid of it immediately!", "staffmode.use");
         return;
       }
     }
   }

@DoggyCode™ Well, I see only a couple of things wrong but not something big enough to affect the outcome.

1. Why are you casting p and a to a Player and an Action when they're already a Player and an Action? That's like saying:

Code:

int i = (int) 27;

It's pointless.

1. (Should be 2) Is Permissions a class? If so, it togglestaffmode a String? (Just wondering)
2. (Should be 3) Try debugging. Debugging will help you 90% of the time.

 

You're welcome :3

 

@CodePlaysMinecraft ,

1. Yeh, I know the casting thing, Bukkit does require me to do it sometimes, it has just become a habbit xD.

2. Yes, it's a permission, not a string. Here, I'll show you:

Code:

package me.pvpdog.staffmodealexay.permissions;

import org.bukkit.permissions.Permission;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Permissions extends JavaPlugin {
   
   public static Permission togglestaffmode = new Permission("staffmode.use");

}

3. I've never done debugging before, don't know how to do it -.-.

 

@DoggyCode™ Debugging is basically a way of sending a message every line to see which line isn't being executed. The message doesn't have to be detailed, I usually just go with 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Here's an example if needed:

Code:

public void changeLore(ItemStack item, String lore) {
    if (/*put something here*/) {
        System.out.println("1");
        if (/*something*/) {
            System.out.println("2");
        }
    }
}

If 1 doesn't print out to the console, then there is something wrong with

Code:

if (/*put something here*/) {}

If 1 prints out, but not 2, then there's something wrong with

Code:

if (/*something*/) {}

Anyway, I hope this helped.

 

Thank you, @CodePlaysMinecraft !
