Looking for the right event to work with. I want to check if a player right-clicked another player.
This is what i have so far (doesn't work. Not getting into the if
or the else
statement:
public void onPlayerRightClicks(PlayerInteractEntityEvent e) {
Player p=e.getPlayer();
if(e.getRightClicked() instanceof Player) p.sendMessage("You have rightclicked a player.");
else p.sendMessage("You didn't hit anyone with your spell");
}
Found the answer to the question by combining my own code with codes from another answer on a similar question:
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerClick(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
Player p=e.getPlayer();
NBTItem item = new NBTItem(p.getItemInHand());
Entity en=getNearestEntityInSight(p,5);
if(e.getAction()==Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR && en instanceof Player) p.sendMessage("You have rightclicked a player.");
else p.sendMessage("You didn't hit anyone with your spell");
}
public static Entity getNearestEntityInSight(Player player, int range) {
ArrayList<Entity> entities = (ArrayList<Entity>) player.getNearbyEntities(range, range, range);
ArrayList<Block> sightBlock = (ArrayList<Block>) player.getLineOfSight(null, range);
ArrayList<Location> sight = new ArrayList<Location>();
for (int i = 0;i<sightBlock.size();i++)
sight.add(sightBlock.get(i).getLocation());
for (int i = 0;i<sight.size();i++) {
for (int k = 0;k<entities.size();k++) {
if (Math.abs(entities.get(k).getLocation().getX()-sight.get(i).getX())<1.3) {
if (Math.abs(entities.get(k).getLocation().getY()-sight.get(i).getY())<1.5) {
if (Math.abs(entities.get(k).getLocation().getZ()-sight.get(i).getZ())<1.3) {
return entities.get(k);
}
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
Even though it works, i don't think it's an optimal answer, as there should be an event that can check whether or not a player rightclicked or at least leftclicked another player. The getNearestEntitySight
method finds the closest entity in the player's sight. I combined it with my code which runs when a player rightclicks, using the PlayerInteractEvent
.
