Getting location of player hand

Hey guys, how can I get the location of the player's hand/item in hand? Or is this not possible?

You could loop over their inventory slots (1-9) until you find an itemstack matching that in their hand, if there is not already a method for getting the slot.

 

DarkBladee12, I dont know how you can get the location of the players hand.. (Why do you want to do that??)

Adamki11s Yes there is.. ▼

PHP:

player.getInventory().getItemInHand();
OR...
player.getItemInHand();

//zeddio

 

Adamki11s
You can get the slot by using this method:

Code:

public int getItemInHandIndex(Player player) {
    ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().inventory.itemInHandIndex;
}

 

zeddio
I know that, I mean getting the slot index from that .

 

Adamki11s zeddio I don't want to get the item in the players' hand or something like this... I want to get the location of it in the world, because I want to play some effects at the location of it!

Does noone have an idea how this could work?

I'm not sure what you are asking, if the item is in the players hand then you can just use the players location.

 

Adamki11s No, this would give me the location of the players' feet...

Add 0.5 to the y coordinate of the player location?

 

DarkBladee12
Well obviously just add 1 to the y coordinate, or whatever delta y makes it the players hand location.

 

Use the pitch and yaw and the length of their arm to calculate the position.

 

Wouldn't adding 1 to the y coordinate of the player, play an effect in his/her groin?

 

Adamki11s iPhysX Yeah it's not exactly the location of the players' hand if you just add 1...
