Solved how to set reach in which sheeps are sheared in

Hi, i'll make a plugin which shears all sheeps in a reach of 10 blocks when a player shears one sheep. I started developing today >.< and I don't know how to do this, could you help me?
I have done this:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void playerShear(PlayerShearEntityEvent event){
        Player player = (Player)event.getPlayer();
      
    }

xD

Sorry for my bad englisch. I hope you can understand what i mean xD

 

You can use <entity>.getNearbyEntities(10,5,10) to get a list of all entities in a 10x5x10 raduis, then you need to check each entity is a sheep, if it is, shear it.

You can loop through lists by using "for": https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html

 

how can i check if its an sheep?

 

@Leon0983X
if(<entity> instanceof Sheep){ //do stuff }

 

Code:

    @EventHandler

    public void playerShear(PlayerShearEntityEvent event){
        Player player = (Player)event.getPlayer();
        player.getNearbyEntities(10, 2, 10);
        if(player instanceof Sheep){
            System.out.println("lol you are a sheep");
        }

what's wrong?

 

@Leon0983X You have to loop through the entities using a for loop, not just get them.

Then, you don't want to check if the player is a sheep (that would actually be weird) but the entity you're looping through.

 

Code:

Player player = (Player)event.getPlayer();
for(Entity e: player.getNearbyEntities(10,2,10)) {
    if(e instanceof Sheep) {
        //Do stuff
    }
}

You are now looking at one individual entity and can do your checks.

@au2001 He probably doesn't know how iterating works, so I showed him so he can apply it in future problems.

 

@Kyorax Well, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=java+iterating+through+a+list

 

@au2001 Okay, you made a point.

 

Thanks, now i have:

Code:

    public void playerShear(PlayerShearEntityEvent event){
        Player player = (Player)event.getPlayer();
        for(Entity e: player.getNearbyEntities(10,2,10)) {
           if(e instanceof Sheep) {
               ((Sheep) e).setSheared(true);
               final Inventory inventory = player.getInventory();
               inventory.addItem(ItemStack(Material.WOOL, 1));
           }
        }
        }

what's wrong now?
It says: The method ItemStack(Material, int) is undefined for the type EventListener

 

@Leon0983X And no need to put the amount if it's just one.

 

Ok, thanks!
