Essentials Interact With Sign Event Type Help

Hello,
I was wondering how to check if a player right clicks a buy or a sell sign?

 

One way would use a player interact event, check if its a sign and check the lines. Besides that check the essentials github and look at the API.

 

bubba1234119 I tried your method of checking if the sign had [buy], but the code doesn't reach that far. Here is my code:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("1");
Player p = (Player) e.getPlayer();
if(!p.hasPermission("donate.swag")){
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("2");
if(e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)){
if(e.getClickedBlock().getState() instanceof Sign){
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("3");
Sign sign = (Sign) e.getClickedBlock();
if(sign.getLine(0).contains("[Buy]")){
e.setCancelled(true);
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have access to that sign!");
}
 
}
}

Bukkit only broadcasts 1 and 2 which means an Essentials Sign is not being read as Material.SIGN. However, if I use Material.SIGN_POST, it works. But I can't check line numbers of a sign post.

- Super

EDIT: I realized that I needed to check the BlockState, not BlockType and it is line 0 not line 1. But the transaction still happens even if I cancel the interaction.

 

Edit: Try setting it to the highest priority.

 

bubba1234119 I really appreciate your help thus far, but now I have come to another issue. Even when I cancel the interaction, the transaction still happens!

 

The transaction still happens because you are only canceling the event for your plugin, Not for essentials.

 

ledship bubba1234119 Ok so I took a different route and dove into essentials API and I came up with this

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onInteract(SignInteractEvent e){
            if(e.getEssentialsSign().getClass().equals(SignBuy.class)){
 
                    e.setCancelled(true);
                    e.getUser().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have access to that sign!");
                }
 
 
        }

I don't know if you guys have any idea on this but how could I check if User has a permission? Or how can I cast a User to a Player so I can use that? Because the essentials IUser doesn't have a built in ability to check perms that I can see.

 

I was just looking into the API actually.
Try this Player player = (Player)e.getUser();

 

I tried it, it threw an error saying User cannot be cast to Player

 

Try using isAuthorized with the string being the permission node.
https://github.com/essentials/Essentials/blob/2.x/Essentials/src/com/earth2me/essentials/IUser.java

 

I figured it out. You need e.getUser().getBase().hasPermission(...); Thanks for the help guys!

 

Glad you got it working!
