Method of recognizing player rightclicking a block with an item?

I'm having a little trouble working out HashMaps and player handling trying to check to see if the player has rightclicked a block, had his/her hashmap enabled, and is rightclicking with a stick all at once. How can I make this possible?

 

Well first off I'm going to assume that you have the right type of PlayerListener. If you do I think it would be something like this

Code:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, player.getItemInHand().getAmount());
if(player.getItemInHand().equals(stack) && **Check to see if the player is in the hashmap** )
{
//Do Stuff
}

 

What event would the Block Event call when it's doing something?

 

what do you mean?

 

Code:

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, player.getItemInHand().getAmount());
if(player.getItemInHand().equals(stack) && **Check to see if the player is in the hashmap** )
{
//Do Stuff
}

Why would you create a stack of sticks, just to see if he's holding a stick?

Code:

ItemStack held = player.getItemInHand();
if (held.getType() == Material.STICK && ...) { ... }

 

Code:

if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK && ...) { ... }

?? profit!

 

I honestly don't know why I did that. I just wasn't thinking

 

Also, if you're checking for right click, that would be a PlayerListener, not a BlockListener.

 

And the method is onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event)

 

Hmm, question that goes along with this, I'm trying to create snow-ball grenades for the hell of it and so far I have this.

Code:

public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e)
    {
        if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)
        {
            Player p = e.getPlayer();
            if(p.getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.SNOW_BALL)){
                World w = p.getWorld();
                Location s = p.getEyeLocation();
                s.add(s.getDirection().getX() * 3, s.getDirection().getY() * 3, s.getDirection().getZ() * 3);

                Projectile b = w.spawn(s, Snowball.class);
                b.setVelocity(p.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(2));
                b.setShooter(p);
            }
        }
    }

Now I know without checking for what's in hand it can work, but all right clicking with any object will create the grenade and I want it to just be snowballs (in this instance). Any idea what could be going on? I've tried .equals and == for getItemInHand line.

Also, I'm trying to change the functionality of the bow and arrow so that when you right click and hold (or right click to activate/deactivate, doesn't matter which to me) you'll just continuously stream arrows instead of the way it works now. I can't think of how to have it continue over time, any ideas?

Edit:

Ah nevermind, I've got a problem determining what the entity is onProjectileHit

Code:

@Override
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent e)
    {
        Entity entity = e.getEntity();
        if(e.getType().equals(Material.SNOW_BALL)){
            entity.setFireTicks(100);
            World w = entity.getWorld();
            w.createExplosion(entity.getLocation(), 6);
        }
    }

Any ideas?

you have 1 problem
1) Type is an different enum from Material so that check would always return false

improved code here

Code:

@Override
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent e)
    {
        Entity entity = e.getEntity();
        if(e instanceof org.bukkit.entity.Snowball){
            entity.setFireTicks(100);
            World w = entity.getWorld();
            w.createExplosion(entity.getLocation(), 6);
        }
    }

 

hmm, trying that it still doesn't work when I throw a snowball.

Ah woot, entity isntanceof not e and it works. Thanks for the help now to figure out how to make a machine gun-esque bow and arrow instead of how it is.

well some where in bukkit there is an fire arrow method you can use that

Ya, I'm trying to figure out how to have it called every so often while the right click is down or ya... dunno yet.

 

ah the Scheduler
plugin.getServer().getScheduler()
