A more efficient way of doing this?

I want to have the players draw back the bow at least almost all of the way, and I know of no methods for bukkit to detect their bow drawback amount. What I currently do is I have a timer that keeps them from firing a certain amount of time, to in a way stimulate it.

Is there a way to detect the bow's drawback amount for bukkit?

 

I think that is done client side, unfortunately.

Time the amount of time passed after PlayerInteractEvent with a bow in the player's hand

 

chasechocolate Can't you use packets? No idea..

Nope. The bow packet is sent C->S, not the other way around.

 

xTrollxDudex bow packet?

 

chasechocolate
This one

 

xTrollxDudex ah. But it doesn't have the drawback progress, does it?

 

chasechocolate
Nope. Which is why it isn't useful:

 

Simple, just use the math you learned in Algebra, you know, the one where you asked your teacher if you're ever going to use this in real life?
