Tool Break Sound Effect

Hello, I've been wondering, how to create a tool break sound effect. I know it's gotta be something with sending packets, but I can't seem to understand how should I build it without example. (You know, I like to know from clear examples)

So I am asking you, would you show me how to do it, please?

How to create? You mean how to play that sound effect for player? If yes, use Player.playEffect.

Yes, I mean play, but there is no "ToolBreak" Effect listed.

 

right i think you can't play ToolBreak Effects but you can player a Block break effect
(

Code:

player.getWorld().playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.STEP_SOUND, 1);

)
or you can create a tool and desroy it do play the effect

 

I'm pretty sure you'd need to give the player a tool then break it; the tool-break sound is only generated client side when it thinks a took breaks.

But how should I break the tool?

 

Maybe trigger a PlayerItemBreakEvent? I would imagine that is how the client realizes that it broke a tool. If not, then adding a tool to the hotbar, getting the slot number, getting the slot, setting the durability to 0 might do the trick.

Would you mind posting me an example, please?

 

Well, store item slot 9 in the cache, put a pick or something there, set the pick's dura to zero, itbreaks, restore the previous item.

PlayerItemBreakEvent event = new PlayerItemBreakEvent(player, null);
player.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);

I would rather him try the event first. Would be much more simple.

Code:java

PlayerItemBreakEvent eventa = new PlayerItemBreakEvent(((Player) event.getEntity()), null);
        ((Player) event.getEntity()).getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(eventa);

Doesn't seem to work for me, I'm calling it before the player dies.

Code:java

((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().setItem(9, new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_PICKAXE, 1));
        ((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().getItem(9).setDurability((short) 0);

Doesn't seem to work either.

I think the durability goes up instead of down so 0 would actually be restoring the item. Try setting it to 100 or something higher instead.

Code:

    ((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().setItem(9, new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_PICKAXE, 1));
    ((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().getItem(9).setDurability((short) 100);

 

Don't put a Player cast on an Entity.
Use event.getEntity().getServer().getPlayer()

 

Or cast it to Player after you check the Entity is an instance of Player.

Code:java

((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().setItem(9, new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_PICKAXE, 1));
        ((Player) event.getEntity()).getInventory().getItem(9).setDurability((short) 60);

This is what I did. The code still doesn't work. Help
60 is the number of uses for wooden tools.

 

I'm guessing it's because you're manually setting the damage on it, and the sound only plays if the player uses its last use.

Does the effect play when an armour piece is broken?
If not, how should I do it then? (It works on a.mcctf.com, when you get headshotted)

 

Your solution is more than likely going to use the Event. Events are what triggers actions between the client and server and vice versa.

Would you show me a working example, please? I'm pretty new to this.

 

This requires linking against CraftBukkit and minecraft, but will add a lot of flexibility to your case:

Code:

String sound = "random.break";
Packet62NamedSoundEffect packet = new Packet62NamedSoundEffect(sound, player.getLocation().getX(), player.getLocation().getY(), player.getLocation().getZ(), 1.0F, 1.0F);
((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().netServerHandler.sendPacket(packet);

 

Good to know... Where do you find a list of the possible sounds you can send?

 

.minecraft/resources/newsound

I updated the call a little. The last two floats are volume/pitch. Pitch also lengthens/shortens the duration for obvious reasons. I'm not sure yet how to call different effects that are indexed, for instance random.explode, there is an explode1.ogg, explode2.ogg, etc.

Also I'm a little unsure when these sounds are actually populated, as I just did a fresh install of minecraft on another computer and there are far less sounds on that client (they seemed to stream down as I was playing, I guess this has to do with how minecraft client is installed). I haven't attempted to play sounds that don't exist on the client to see their result.

It seems the indexed sounds are just randomly played. If you play mob.wolf.growl over and over you eventually end up getting the various ones. It doesn't seem there's a way to call any specific one currently, but it's possible I just haven't found how yet.

Possibly the packet constructor takes an extra parameter (Similar to playEffect's method parameter) for a "data value" that acts as a differentiation between different sounds of the same "type."

 

Firefly I just saw the one constructor, that was string, double, double, double, float, float. So I guess at least currently it's intended to just play ones with numbers after them randomly. Maybe they'll add something else at some point, but just being able to do this adds a lot of options. You can even play note block sounds, and adjust the pitch of everything, so... lots of possibilities.
