Solved How to check it a player has a specific item.

Hello, I am an amateur plugin dev. and I need help with a plugin I am making. This plugin is for operators to type a command, and get a certain Item, with which they can use to ban people.

Code:java

public boolean onPlayerInteractEntityEvent(Player banner, Entity entity, Action left_click){
Player banned = (Player) entity;
ItemStack itemInHand = banner.getItemInHand();
 
if(itemInHand.equals(setName(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_AXE)))){
if(banner.hasPermission("permission.banhammer")){
if(banned instanceof Player){
banned.setBanned(true);
}
}
}
return false;
}

Now, I have already figured out the how to give the sender the specified object, but I could use some help how to set up the code to properly check to see if the player has the object defined here.

Code:java

private ItemStack setName(ItemStack is){
ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
im.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "BanHammer!");
is.setItemMeta(im);
is.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_ALL, 3);
return is;
}

 

Well first off, do you have @EventHandler above your listener?
Are you registering events in your onEnable()?
Are you implementing Listener?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong. Event should start like

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
// do stuff
}

 

Yup.
Pretty sure the [fixed] should look like this:

Code:java

public void onPlayerInteractEntityEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        Player banned = (Player) entity;
        ItemStack itemInHand = banner.getItemInHand();
 
//to lazy to do stuff 

 

Yes you are all right, after I posted this I noticed the sticky thread talking about registering events, but that, at the moment, is not my concern. My concern is, to check to see if the banner has the item that, when the command was used, gave him, as mentioned in the second code lines I showed.

Ok, I have figured out the registering the event, I just can't seem to find out how to check if the object is the specified object. Here's what I've got.

Code:java

private ItemStack setName(ItemStack is){
ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
im.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "BanHammer!");
is.setItemMeta(im);
is.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_UNDEAD, 3);
return is;
}
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerBanEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
Player banner = (Player) event.getDamager();
Player banned = (Player) event.getEntity();
ItemStack itemInHand = banner.getItemInHand();
ItemStack banhammer = (ItemStack) setName(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_AXE));
 
if(itemInHand.getItemMeta() == banhammer){
//code here

I've solved it, I had to check for the item type.

Code:java

private ItemStack setName(ItemStack is){
        ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
        im.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "BanHammer!");
        is.setItemMeta(im);
        is.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_UNDEAD, 3);
        return is;   
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerBanEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
        Player banner = (Player) event.getDamager();
        Player banned = (Player) event.getEntity();
        ItemStack itemInHand = banner.getItemInHand();
        ItemStack banhammer = (ItemStack) setName(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_AXE));
 
        if(itemInHand.getType() == banhammer.getType()){
            if(banner.hasPermission("permission.banhammer")){
                if(banned instanceof Player){
                    //code here
                }
            }
        }
    }
