Bow pull back event?

Is there any event or way to get when a player starts charging a bow?

I want to make a bow shoot more arrows depending on how long the bow is held back.

Both the playerInteract and playerAnimation events don't fire when you start charging a bow.

 

@Elimnator The playerInteract thing isn't too correct. You should be able to use PlayerInteractEvent and check to see if they right clicked. Then you can check to see if they item in their hand is a bow.

I just said the PlayerInteractEvent does not trigger when interacting with a bow in the air...

 

@Elimnator Can you post your code?

 

@Elimnator
What like this

Code:

 @EventHandler
     public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
     Player player = event.getPlayer();
      if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BOW && (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)){

      //code here?

      }

}

 

@lightlord323

Code:

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
   System.out.println("interact");
}

It does not print interact when I use the bow.

 

@Elimnator try this code:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){

if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {

if(e.getPlayer().getItmInHand().getType().equals(Material.BOW)) {
e.getPlayer().sendMessage("worked")

}
}


}

Make sure you register the event.

 

Event is registered, works when I hit with the bow.

Your code is the same as mine.

 

It will, but note that clicking air will mean the event starts as "cancelled" if you are using ignoredCancelled at all.

Clicking the air with any other item works.
