How do I check what slot a player is clicking in(hotbar slots)

Hello, not sure if I should post this on BukkitDev but I have a question(Sort of obvious due to the title) and I would like if someone could post a brief example of how to do it. Thank you -Matt

I am looking for ways to check if a player clicks in a specific slot.

 

grasshopperMatt123 Moved to the Plugin Development subforum!

 

grasshopperMatt123 Listen for the InventoryClickEvent, it has the method getSlot().

Listen to the PlayerInteractEvent and check if the player performed a rightclick. Google is your friend
And then:

Code:java

Player p = event.getPlayer();
if (p.getInventory().getHeldItemSlot() == <0 to 8>) {
// do stuff
}

 

Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate the bukkit community for all the help.

Thanks, I couldn't access the Plugin sub-forum before.

You're welcome

 

There is no held item, the item is just the slot, should it still get the slot of the held item? Thanks. -Matt

What exactly do you want to check?
If you'd like to know if the player clicked with slot 3 selected you'd use p.getInventory().getHeldItemSlot() // which should be 2 if the 3rd slot was selected.
If you want to get the itemstack, that is selected you will need to use p.getItemInHand() // which should return the itemstack that is being hold at the moment.
