Solved Getting a Player that left clicked a player in creative

I need to know if there is a way that I can get a player that left clicked a player in creative mode. EntityDamageByEntityEvent will not work because the entity is in creative. Any ideas?

 

All Player events, this should help you a bit further. (Please don't spoonfeed)

1. Listen for PlayerInteractEvent
2. Check if action was left-click
3. Loop through all world entities, check if any entity was a player and in the clicker's line of sight
4. Do your code

Do the above in that order.

 

A list of events doesn't help me at all. A little more in depth explanation shouldn't be considered "spoonfeeding." I'm not a complete noob and i'm pretty sure I know the events that apply to my situation.

I am fairly sure the getLineOfSight method only returns a list of blocks, not a list of entities.

Don't act like a complete noob with your question then. Try to tell us what you tried, and what you think is a right approach and some feedback about what you are doing maybe.

And actually, fireblast709 's suggestion might have given you the answer. It appears that because getLineOfSight returns blocks in a list, it would be harder, but not impossible. However, if you actually look at the list of events without lashing out, you will see that there is a PlayerInteractEntityEvent. Look into that.

 

AoH_Ruthless PlayerInteractEntityEvent is only fired on right click, he'd have to use your suggestion

OP of https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/catch-left-click-on-player.57740/ used the PlayerAnimationEvent to detect an arm swing, then did a check similar to what AoH_Ruthless suggested

Didn't know that (never worked with PlayerInteractEntityEvent), thank you for that.

In hindsight, that actually makes sense because right click is the "interact / use" button and left clicks would trigger a damage event / PlayerInteractEvent.

 

supercube101 get all entities nearby, perform some math magic using the player direction and both locations to see if you look at the player
