Riding a mob

Hi,

I was just wondering, does anyone know how to find out if a player is riding a mob or not? I'm blank, and I don't seem to find it anywhere, but I know that it's possible.

 

Entity#getVehicle()

 

That didn't really help much..

 

@DoggyCode™
Player#getVehicle() returns the entity that the player is riding, or null if player is not riding an entity.

 

Im gonna give you a code example, okay?
Let's just say that you're doing this in an event.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void f(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if(p.getVehicle instanceof Horse) {
p.sendMessage("You are riding a horse while interacting");

got it?

 

Yeh, thank you. But I'm not using this in an event. And I'd like you to give me an example code of this. I want to use it in a lore. So, for example, if the player is riding a mob, then I want the lore to be "true", if not, I want the lore to be "false". Here is my code so far.

Code:

  public Inventory InspectPlayer(Player p){
  //Defining the Player interface above
  //Creating a Player Inventory and setting the name   
  Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(p, 18,"§6Inspecting: §e" + p.getName());
   
  //Making and editing properties of custom item
  //You Can Copy paste this part as much items as you want and set each item to a different slot in the inventory
  ItemStack ridingMob = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(417));
  ItemMeta meta = ridingMob.getItemMeta();
  meta.setDisplayName("§6Riding Mob");
  meta.setLore(Arrays.asList("?"));
  ridingMob.setItemMeta(meta);
   
  //Setting the custom item in the inventory
  inv.setItem(0, Main.createItem(Material.getMaterial(382), (int)p.getHealthScale(), (short)0, "§6Health", "§e" + p.getHealthScale() + " §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(1, Main.createItem(Material.COOKED_BEEF, (int)p.getFoodLevel(), (short)0, "§6Hunger", "§e" + p.getFoodLevel() + ".0 §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(2, Main.createItem(Material.ROTTEN_FLESH, (int)p.getSaturation(), (short)0, "§6Saturation", "§e" + p.getSaturation()));
  inv.setItem(3, ridingMob);
  //Return the filled Inventory to the player that called the function
  return inv;
   }

 

.

Code:

public Inventory InspectPlayer(Player p){
//Defining the Player interface above
//Creating a Player Inventory and setting the name
  Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(p, 18,"§6Inspecting: §e" + p.getName());
 
//Making and editing properties of custom item
//You Can Copy paste this part as much items as you want and set each item to a different slot in the inventory
  ItemStack ridingMob = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(417));
  ItemMeta meta = ridingMob.getItemMeta();
  meta.setDisplayName("§6Riding Mob");
  meta.setLore([URL='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl%3Aarrays+java.sun.com&btnI=I%27m%20Feeling%20Lucky']Arrays[/URL].asList("?"));
  ridingMob.setItemMeta(meta);
 
//Setting the custom item in the inventory
if(p.getVehicle() instanceof null){
  inv.setItem(0, Main.createItem(Material.getMaterial(382), (int)p.getHealthScale(), (short)0, "§6Health", "§e" + p.getHealthScale() + " §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(1, Main.createItem(Material.COOKED_BEEF, (int)p.getFoodLevel(), (short)0, "§6Hunger", "§e" + p.getFoodLevel() + ".0 §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(2, Main.createItem(Material.ROTTEN_FLESH, (int)p.getSaturation(), (short)0, "§6Saturation", "§e" + p.getSaturation()));
  inv.setItem(3, if they are riding nothing);
}else if(p.getVehicle() instanceof Horse || p.getVehicle() instanceof Pig) { // I dont know all the ride-able mobs so just add onto this line
  inv.setItem(0, Main.createItem(Material.getMaterial(382), (int)p.getHealthScale(), (short)0, "§6Health", "§e" + p.getHealthScale() + " §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(1, Main.createItem(Material.COOKED_BEEF, (int)p.getFoodLevel(), (short)0, "§6Hunger", "§e" + p.getFoodLevel() + ".0 §8/ §e20.0"));
  inv.setItem(2, Main.createItem(Material.ROTTEN_FLESH, (int)p.getSaturation(), (short)0, "§6Saturation", "§e" + p.getSaturation()));
  inv.setItem(3, If they are riding something);

@SuperSniper

1. Don't spoonfeed if it's an incredibly easy thing to do
2. Don't use instanceof null, not even sure if that's possible. Use == null

@DoggyCode™
getVehicle() is a method within the Entity class that returns the entity that the entity is riding.

 

@EventHandler
public void as(PlayerInterractEntityEvent e){
Player ep = (Player) e.getPlayer;
Entity es = (Entity) e.getRightClicked;
if (!(es instanceof Player)){
if (!es.getPassenger().isEmpty()){
ep.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN+"This entity has a passenger!")
}
}
}

 

@SuperSniper , thank you! It worked.
