I need a bit of plugin development help!

Hey guys, i am attempting to make a plugin and im getting an error.
First here is my code:
@EventHandler
public void toggle(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();

if(player.getInventory().getItemInhand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() == "MobWand"){
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
Player p = event.getPlayer();
Snowball snowball = p.getWorld().spawn(p.getEyeLocation(), Snowball.class);
snowball.setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(1.5));
snowball.setShooter(p);
This code is suppose to allow a player to shoot a snowball if they interact with an item called "mobwand" in there inventory.

Everything works untill you move the item (mobwand) elseware in the inventory.
For example, i type a command to recieve the item and it works if i click it when it is in the slot that it apears in but the second i move it over a few slots it will stop shooting snowballs!

I understand this is random and specific but if there is anyone out there that can help a noob out i would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

 

Well, for one, you're creating two "player" variables that have the same data.You should rename "player" to "p" and delete "Player p = event.getPlayer();"

Secondly, with Java, you always compare Strings using methods, not primitive boolean/bit comparisons. So, instead of "player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() == "MobWand"", try "player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("MobWand")", although could could also replace ".contains()" with ".equalsIgnoreCase()", which I recommend.

I suppose I could help you here and there, all's you need to do is send me a message on Bukkit here and there.

Edit: Sorry about that really messed up post, Bukkit loves messing with me in terms of text formatting.

 

Hey thanks so much you really helped me out!! I truly appreciate the fact that you put time into replying to my post!
