onPressurePlatePressed() equivelent

I know there is nothing by that exact name, but what would I do to find the event called when a player (or entity ) activates a pressure plate?

 

Check if the material of the "clicked" block is a pressure plate in onPlayerInteract like this:

Code:java

  public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event)
  {
	if(event.isCancelled())
	  return;
 
	if(event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.WOOD_PLATE)
	{
	  //Do stuff here...
	}
  }

 

@V10lator : I think he means when a player stands on a pressure plate.

@LRFLEW : You should use the BlockRedstoneEvent

 

Code:java

 
public void onBlockRedstoneChange(BlockRedstoneEvent event) {
    final Block b = event.getBlock();
 
    if (isPressurePlate(b.getType())) {
        if(event.getNewCurrent() == 1) { //current rises, pressure plate is being pressed
            //do stuff
        }
    }
}
 
public static boolean isPressurePlate(Material mat) {
    return (mat == Material.STONE_PLATE) || (mat == Material.WOOD_PLATE);
 }

 

Use onPlayerInteract and check if getAction() returns Action.PHYSICAL, then the player stepped on a pressure plate!

 

@Bone008 Your solution doesn't work when entities trigger the pressure plate.

 

Oh, didn't read the part in brackets ;-)

Then go ahead with RedstoneChangeEvent, but you can't find out exactly what triggered it, then
