Who or what triggers pressureplate

Hi!

Any idea, how i can find out who or what triggers a pressureplate? I played around with the BlockInteractEvent, but found nothing in this manner.

You need the PlayerInteractEvent for this, and check if event.getAction() == Action.PHYSICAL (amusingly described in the Javadocs as "ass-pressure").

 

Yeah, thats the "who". But what, if an item is triggering to plate? Does the item also function as "Player"?

 

You might wanna use the
ENTITY_INTERACT
Event instead

 

Nothing interesting in the EntityInteractEvent. There is a event.getEntity() but i can't do anything with it.

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/doxygen/dc/dfc/interfaceorg_1_1bukkit_1_1entity_1_1Item.html
The item class extends Entity. That means if the EntityInteractEvent trigger because of an item being dropped on presure plate you will be able to cast it to an item

 

AH! So if i call

Code:

event.getEntity().getClass();

, i could get the Item's class and cast it? Can't wait to try that!

 

if(event.getEntity() instanceof Item)
