Stay Still Event

I was wondering if there's a way to check if a player's standing still (event). Like a StandStill event, I know it's not in the Bukkit event package but is there anyway to detect if they are standing still, and if they are, do .

 

KingFaris10 There's no reason to have an event for the player not doing. We don't have events for the absence of actions, otherwise we'd have events such as "EntityNotDamagedEvent" and "EntityNotTeleportEvent". What you're trying to achieve can probably be handled via Bukkit's Scheduler. Knowing specifically what you're doing would help.

 

Thanks for the help. Now, I just thought I could have an arraylist that holds if a player is not moving (using the PlayerMoveEvent) and then have a bukkit repeated scheduler

I suggest just checking player's velocity, check if that vector's x/y/z are *close* to 0, that way you can easily adjust the tolerance of movement and avoid listening to PlayerMoveEvent and avoid extra storage.

 

True, that'd reduce server usage... hmm I'll try that too and check which way's more efficient for my need.

 

Either use a scheduler to check the players velocity, or use playermoveevent and store the players last location in a hashmap, and compare their new location with their last one.
