Solved How do i get the location of the hit player?

For my plugin i want to be able to use the fishing rod to teleport players to you when they get hit by the rod, i have this code so far:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteractEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event)
    {
        Player player = (Player) event.getPlayer();
        Location locationThrower = player.getLocation();
 
        int blockId = player.getItemInHand().getType().getId();
        if (blockId == 546)// Fishing rod
        {
           //Main code
        }
    }

So what i need to know is how would i get the hit player from the rod?

 

This is mostly a guess, but I think a ProjectileHitEvent is thrown when a player is hit by a fishing hook. You could listen to that instead, check the entity, then get the hit entity and shooter.

 

Nope the projectile hit event is for arrows and snowballs, already tried using that.

Anyone?

use entitydamagebyentity
check if it's damage by a projectile
run a check for the projectile for the fishing rod
get the Y axis for the projectile
run a check to see if the Y axis is 1.35 or higher than the player's foot level,
do stuff

 

And how would i do that?

Listen to EntityDamageByEntity, check the damage cause, check the damager entity's type, and the rest is self-explanatory.

 

But how though?, (like what code) im not very good with making plugins, this is something i just really need helping with

 

sorry if this comes across as rude or snobby, but
start with the basics and work your way up.
if we tell you how to do everything, you won't learn.

 

Yeah i understand what you are saying dude, i just need this asap

So am i on the right lines? frozenpoptartmc AngryNerd

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteractEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event)
    {
        if(DamageCause.PROJECTILE != null)
        {
            Player player2 = (Player) event.getDamager();
            int blockId = player2.getItemInHand().getType().getId();
            if (blockId == 346)// Fishing rod
            {
               
            }
        }
    }

No. First, the line checking the DamageCause will always rerun true. You need to check the cause of the cent with .getCause(). Second, you should check the damaging entity's type, which will be a fishing hook. Third, it's bad practice to check block IDs; it's better to just check the material directly. You really need to do some research on the event, and maybe learn a bit more about the Bukkit API.

 

Right, i now have this code and it works fine, i just need to know know how would i get the player who actually throws the fishing line, (PlayerGet is the player who i am hitting) ?

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteractEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event)
    {
        if(DamageCause.PROJECTILE != null)
        {
            if(event.getDamager() instanceof Fish)
            {
                Material material = Material.FISHING_ROD;
                if(material == Material.FISHING_ROD)
                {
                    Entity entity1thrower = (Entity) event.getEntity();
                    if(entity1thrower instanceof Player)
                    {
                        Player playerGet = (Player) entity1thrower;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                    //Do nothing
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

 

This will never be false. You need to check whether the damage cause of the event is the same as the projectile damage cause.

 

Like this?

Code:

if(event.getCause() == DamageCause.PROJECTILE)

 

CMG yep.

 

So how do i get the player throwing the line then?

 

this will also never be false.

This will not get you the player which threw the rod but rather the one that got hit. To get one who threw it, you need to cast the damager to a projectile (as we are sure it's a fishing rod because of the checks earlier) and then you can get the shooter of it. The shooter might be a different entity than the player so you need to do checks there as well.

 

How do i cast the damager to the projectile can you show me how all i know is this bit: event.getDamager().getShooter();

 

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html
see bottom.

 

Code:

if(((Projectile) event.getDamager()).getShooter() instanceof Player)
                        {
                           
                        }

Yeah, but how do i actually make the player variable from this?

?
