Knife/PlayerInteractEvent

So i was wondering how to like if the player left clicks air it will set item in hand to diamond sword then the sword will attack and then what ever item was in there had before the diamond sword reapers and the diamond sword disapears sorry if im being confusing thank you!

 

bodhistrontg You can get the player's item in hand, assign it to the variable, assign the player's item in hand to a diamond sword, then assign it back to the variable.

 

Okay but how would you make it so when they are holing the sword they attack with it.

 

bodhistrontg You can't force them to attack

 

xTigerRebornx Well Thats stupid lol. Thank you

 

Actually, you can force someone to attack, I think. You would need to work with some packets, and fire a PlayerInteractEvent. Like this: PlayerInteractEvent(Player who, Action action, ItemStack item, Block clickedBlock, BlockFace clickedFace)

 

LegoPal92 You could make the server think they attacked, but I don't think you could force the client to actually swing their weapon

 

I beg to differ.

Code:

        EntityPlayer p = ((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle();
        p.netServerHandler.sendPacket(p, new PacketPlayInArmAnimation(p, 1));

Of course this requires NMS, and a bit of protocol knowledge, but a simple google search can accomplish this. It also requires CraftBukkit, but I'm sure that that is not a problem.

EDIT: I guess I'll hand out a link to the protocol for it: http://wiki.vg/Protocol#Animation

 

LegoPal92 Eh, I don't use NMS much, but if its possible, its possible. If the OP would like to use NMS, then the OP can use NMS
