sneaking

In my plugin i am making it is the player sneaks that they lose a health,
but how can i detect if a player is sneaking.

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/d5/...Player.html#aa056e8d46aef870e1f61ad39808de446

 

Code:

@EventHandler
onPlayerToggleSneak(PlayerToggleSneakEvent e){
    if(e.getPlayer.isSneaking == false){//actually true
          e.getPlayer.setHealth(e.getPlayer.getHealth() - 1);
    }
}

I don't know how to take it off over time
or I'm too lazy to make it at the moment.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerToggleSneak(final PlayerToggleSneakEvent e){
    this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if(e.getPlayer().isSneaking() == false){//actually true
                e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer.getHealth() - 1);
          }
        }
    }, 0L, 20L);
}

What about that?

Might think about cancelling that runnable when the player stops sneaking (and check if he actually started sneaking), or you'll stack up tons of runnables and creating an insane amount of lag over time.

 

Rprrr You're right. I'm not sure how to give it an ID though so it can be cancelled. I forgot to mention it.

Conveniently found someone else's thread that's solved. I'm not sure how it'd work for other players though.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerToggleSneak(final PlayerToggleSneakEvent e){
        if(e.getPlayer().isSneaking() == false){//actually true
            int crouch = this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {   
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer.getHealth() - 1);
                }
            }, 0L, 20L);
        } else{
            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(crouch);
        }
    }

The only problem is that I can't cancel crouch from there because it's in the else of it's creation.
Any ideas?
