So I have a PlayerDropItemEvent and I want to know if I can get the player that the player that dropped the item is looking at, or at least the entity. Is there any way I could do that? If so could you tell me and thanks! Code: @EventHandler public void ItemDrop(PlayerDropItemEvent e) { Player p = e.getPlayer(); Player p2 = [? what do I put here for getting the player the player is looking at.] }
get the location, pitch, yaw, etc. and calculate if anyone is within 3 blocks of them.... - get neaarby players - see what direction players looking in - calculate direction (+x, -z, -y), etc.
@Justinian6 @Skionz Can you show me the code to do this? I have no idea on how to do it... I'm not a pro at java.
Don't Copy and Paste! Read this and then rewrite it in your own plugin. Copying and Pasting only hurts yourself as a developer. 1. Create a for loop that iterates X amount of times. The variable X will be your range. Code: for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++){ } 2. Get the direction the player is facing. Code: Vector direction = p.getLocation().getDirection(); for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++){ } 3. Multiply the direction by X each iteration and retrieve it's location. Code: Vector direction = p.getEyeLocation().getDirection(); for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++){ Location loc = direction.multply(x).toLocation(p.getWorld()); } 4. Check to see if anybody is at that location. You will need another for loop for this. Code: Vector direction = p.getLocation().getDirection(); for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++){ Location loc = direction.multply(x).toLocation(p.getWorld()); for (Player player : p.getWorld().getPlayers()){ Location l = player.getEyeLocation(); if (l.getBlockX() == loc.getBlockX && l.getBlockY() == loc.getBlockY && l.getBlockZ() == loc.getBlockZ) return player; } } Also, this will have to be in a separate method that returns type Player.
@ReadySetPawn Why use a for loop when it is unnecessary. Use a timer instead EDIT: NVM I see what you did... Just make sure the player isn't null
