Trying to make a Plugin with a shooting tool

Hay Guys,

for a few weeks now, im trying to get a Plugin to work, which allows a player to shoot with a pickaxe which has a special name.

I already have a solution to get a Pickaxe with a command, which is able to shoot eggs.
But i really struggle with getting the block, where the egg lands, to disappear and land in the players inventory.

Maybe someone can help me.

Here is my code: (if you want to criticize, please don't be too mean, cause im trying to code for about 3 weeks.)

Code:

package de.xplliarmus.server.listener;

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.World;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Egg;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.ProjectileHitEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.projectiles.ProjectileSource;

public class GunListener implements Listener {

    @EventHandler

    public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        // ItemStack is = p.getInventory().getItemInHand();

        if (p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.GOLD_PICKAXE) {

            if (p.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("§4§lGun Pickaxe")) {

                Egg egg = p.launchProjectile(Egg.class);
                egg.setVelocity(p.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(3));

            }
        }

    }


    @EventHandler
    public void onEggHit(ProjectileHitEvent event) {

        ProjectileSource p = event.getEntity().getShooter();
        Projectile pj = event.getEntity();

        if (p instanceof Player) {

            if (pj instanceof Egg) {

// here i want to make the block disappear and give it to the Player, who is shooting

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Get the block that the projectile landed on, and call block#setType(air);

@XPlliarmus

event.getHitBlock() should give you the block where the egg landed or null if the egg didn't hit a block (but something else like an entity). So check if the block is null, add the right item to the players inventory and set the type of the block to Material.AIR.

 

Thanks for your answer,

i already tried to use the event.getHitBlock(), but it doesn't work.
Error: "the method getHitBlock() is undefined for the type PrejectileHitEvent"

xD "get the block that the prejectile landed on" funny, cause thats my only issue right now

This Worked, Thank you a lot.
now my only problem is the spawning of all those chickens.

 

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        if (p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.GOLD_PICKAXE) {
            if (p.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("§4§lGun Pickaxe")) {
            Egg egg = p.launchProjectile(Egg.class);
            egg.setVelocity(p.getEyeLocation().getDirection().multiply(3));
            }
        }
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onEggHit(ProjectileHitEvent event) {
        Player shooter = (Player) event.getEntity().getShooter();
        ProjectileSource p = event.getEntity().getShooter();
        Projectile pj = event.getEntity();
       
        if (p instanceof Player && pj instanceof Egg) {
            BlockIterator iterator = new BlockIterator(pj.getWorld(), pj.getLocation().toVector(), pj.getVelocity().normalize(), 0.0D, 4);
            Block hitBlock = null;
           
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                hitBlock = iterator.next();
                if (hitBlock.getType() != Material.AIR) break;
            }
           
            shooter.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(hitBlock.getType()));
            hitBlock.setType(Material.AIR);
        }
    }

I found some code from a previous plugin I made, not sure if this still works, but give it a go.

 

Omg, Thanks

Finaly it works!!
Thanks a lot!
