callEvent() Question

Howdy, I send a *fake* blockBroken event around to other plugins for maximum compatibility. And I've run into one snag with CB 600.

Now I have to have some of my own code that runs when block breaks in onBlockBreak which is fine but now when I fake the blockBroken event in onBlockDamage it causes some unwanted stuff to happen.

How can I call this event without sending it to my own plugin or at least making it so my own plugin will ignore it?

 

Could create a wrapper event, like FakeBlockBrokenEvent extends BlockBrokenEvent and pass it as a block broken event. All plugins would see it as a regular event, but your plugin could use a !(event instanceof FakeBlockBrokenEvent) to make sure it didn't get the fake event.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, I'll post a code example.

 

That was confusing as all heck, but I hope Nossr50 got it.

 

@Afforess Could you post the example?

 

Sure. (Assuming your using RB 600)

Add this to your project as FakeBlockBreakEvent.java:

Code:

/*FakeBlockBreakEvent.java*/

import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockBreakEvent;

public class FakeBlockBreakEvent extends BlockBreakEvent {
	public FakeBlockBreakEvent(Block theBlock, Player player) {
		super(theBlock, player);
	}
}

Then, instead of using callEvent() with BlockBreakEvent, use FakeBlockBreakEvent.

Finally, in onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event), put this check in the beginning:

Code:

if (event instanceof FakeBlockBreakEvent) {
	return;
}

 

I can't thank you enough Afforess
