PlayerInteractEvent

Basically, I need to know how to get my code to do something when the player left clicks and do something else when he right clicks. I don't know how to do either of these things. I've heard hints towards PlayerInteractEvent, but im not sure how to use it.

 

Code:java

if (event.getAction()== event.getAction().LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK ) {

Code:java

if (event.getAction()== event.getAction().RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK ) { 

Something like this I guess.

 

Code:

@EventHandler
public void clickHandler(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Action action = event.getAction();
if ((action == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) || (action == Action.LEFT_CLICK BLOCK)) {
//do stuff for left click.
}
if ((action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) || (action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) {
//do stuff for right click.
}
}

 

or that ^ xD

 

Oh thank you. And one more question, if i were trying to make a fireball shoot when a person left clicks, how could i do that? I tried the launchProjectile() method but it blows up instantly, whereas i want mine to fly through the air where ever i am looking. I also tried doing getWorld().spawn(loc,Fireball.class), where loc is my location, however i can't figure out how to set the direction of the fireball.

Also LEFT_CLICK... and RIGHT_CLICK don't seem like valid things. Unless i don't have the right import?

So import it.

 

I just tried but it doesn't work. I did import org.bukkit.Action.*; but it says it cannot be resolved.

 

org.bukkit.Action is an enum, not a package so just import org.bukkit.Action

 

You just said to import the same thing? If you mean do just "import org.bukkit.Action;" i tried that too but same result.

 

Nope. You imported org.bukkit.Action.* which cannot be resolved because org.bukkit.Action isn't a package and has no subclasses to import.
Action is an Enumerator. The import is org.bukkit.event.block.Action;

Sorry if I mislead you for the org.bukkit.Action thing. I thought you had done some research and weren't just pulling imports out of a hat.

 

Oh ok well i added the import but it still says LEFT_CLICK_AIR and the others cannot be resolved.

 

Do you have it as

Code:

Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR

or

Code:

LEFT_CLICK_AIR

?
There is a difference.

 

Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR. What's the difference?

 

Make sure you aren't accidentally importing javax.swing.Action, because I did that and it interfered with the import org.bukkit.action.block.
