Solved PlayerInteractEvent

When there's no block behind the player i'm hitting, or hitting air and a player at the same time; it counts as left_click_air in PlayerInteractEvent(I don't want this to happen). Does anybody know a solution to this?

 

In 1.9+ PlayerInteractEvent is affected by a new variable OFF_HAND equipment slot. Try adding

Code:

if (e.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.OFF_HAND) {
    //CODE...
}

Since a player has "two hands" in minecraft 1.9 it checks both instances on the interact event. Lemme know if that helps you.

 

I'm using 1.8

This seems like the bug with the old versions of spigot. This was fixed somewhere around 1.10. I highly recommend you upgrade to versions 1.10 or higher. In case you are still using 1.8 due to combat or the fact that there are two hands, there are tons of plugins out there that fix this for the newer updates.

 

Is there a solution to this while staying at 1.8? If not ill convert to 1.10 i guess

 

@808sFinest
Not really. Most of the other ways are hacky (canceling the event if the there is any players near the main player, but that can lead to false positives in some cases or not detect them in others)

 

I converted to 1.11 but the same thing happens, playerInteractEvent and entityDamageEvent bot run if you hit a player and left click air.

Okay, you may have to check in the playerinteractevent if the is a player in the other player's line of sight. Use this to check

Code:

//P is the others players, player is your player

for(Player p: Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
//This gets all the players online
if(p.getLocation().distance(player.getLocation) <= 5){
//Get if the player is even close to the player.
Vector direction = player.getLocation().getDirection.normalize();
Player eyes = player.getLocation().add(0,player.getEyeHeight(),0);
//Getting the player's eyes location and where they are looking.
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
 eyes.add(direction);
 for(int k = -1; k < 2;k++){
//Make sure the player is not above/below the player's eyesight
 if(eyes.add(0,k,0).distance(eyes) < 0.6){
    //THE PLAYER IS LOOKING AT ANOTHER PLAYER. CANCEL THE EVENT.
 }
eyes.subtract(0,k,0);
}
}

 

@Zombie_Striker I found a solution using booleans and delays but thank you for taking your time to help me
