Code doesn't spawn lightning?

I am trying to make a plugin where if you have an iron axe with my custom name
and you rightclick, then lightning will spawn where you click...
I have a command that spawns the iron axe with the name "§9Hammer" (that works)

Here is the code I am using:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event){
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    World world = player.getWorld();
        if(player.getInventory().getItemInHand().equals(Material.IRON_AXE)){
        if (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("§9Hammer")) {
                Block targetBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 100);
                Location location = targetBlock.getLocation();
                world.strikeLightning(location);
        }
    }
    }

I don't know why this does not work I was basing it off of a tutorial (the tutorial used a command though :/)

If you can tell what is wrong please fix it

I'm not sure about the lightning part, but I think this should work:

Code:

 @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
World world = player.getWorld();
if (item == null) {
return;
} else if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
if (!(player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getType() == Material.IRON_AXE)) {
return;
} else if(player.getInventory().getItemInHand().equals(Material.IRON_AXE)){
if (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals(ChatColor.BLUE + "Hammer")) {
Block targetBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 100);
Location location = targetBlock.getLocation();
world.strikeLightning(location);
}
}
}
} 

It makes a null check, gets that the player right clicks and Instead of using §9 I changed it to ChatColor.BLUE.
Hope this achieves what you wanted

So the problem is that you need to add some stuff to your Block targetBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 100); It should be:

Code:

Block targetBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50);

So the code would end up being:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event){
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    World world = player.getWorld();
        if(player.getInventory().getItemInHand().equals(Material.IRON_AXE)){
        if (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("§9Hammer")) {
                Block targetBlock = player.getTargetBlock(null, 100);
                Location location = targetBlock.getLocation();
                world.strikeLightning(location);
        }
    }
    }

 

Thanks for responding

I tried both and neither of them worked :/

EDIT: I did a test where when you right-clicked it would say a message...
It didn't say the message so I know that it isn't being activated :/

Oh! Then I know! You probably didn't register the event. In the onEnable add this:

Code:

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this); 

 

Where do I put that? I already have it in onEnable

 

Is the event in the main class? That needs to change if it isn't. If the plugin is open source, it might help if we can see the entire thing.

 

The plugin isn't open source but I can make it open source!
Maybe there is a better way to make it open source, but I can give you a zip of the project folder?

Oh and it is in the main file I think... (because the other half of the plugin works)

 

I am not sure how long bumps can be... but
bump, does anyone know how to fix this? I tried lots of different things and nothing works

 

Really? 3 downloads and no one knows how to fix this

 

trg601 Did you add the @EventHandler annotation above the onPlayerUse method? That's pretty important...

 

try this:

Code:

@EventHandler
      public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
      Player player = event.getPlayer();
      int blockId = player.getItemInHand().getType().getId();
      if (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("§9Hammer")) {
      if(blockId == 258){
      Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50);
      Location location = block.getLocation();
      World world = player.getWorld();
        world.strikeLightning(location);

 

Try using this, I think you just needed to add the Player Action, hopefully this will work

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR){
if(player.getItemInHand().getType == Material.IRON_AXE{
Block block = player.getTargetBlock(null, 50);
Location location = block.getLocation();
World world = player.getWorld();
world.strikeLightning(location);

 

I tried both, idk why they don't work i'm hoping somebody that saw the whole project file (download at first post)
Figures out why it isn't being triggered...
I used the same code for the item use as my other (working) plugin..

You have to change player.getInventory().getItemInHand().equals(Material.IRON_AXE) to player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.IRON_AXE)

 

Thank you so much
It works awesomely now
