I am trying to use random number generation for chances for certain variables to be changed during an event but can't seem to get it right, i just get tons of errors and it doesn't work. Here are my conditions. I want it to be so that if a player is crouching and holding a diamond block in hand, then there is a chance for them to take no damage or reduced damage, which i'm trying to do with random number generation. Code: Random chance = new Random(); int chance1 = chance.nextInt(1000); Material inhand = ((PlayerInventory) event.getEntity()).getItemInHand().getType(); //The rest of my code that already works if (**Not sure how to find if player is crouching** && inhand == Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK); { if (chance1 > 650); fb = 0.0; if (chance1 < 550); sd = 0.6; if (chance1 < 8); player.setItemInHand(null); } I am not totally sure what is causing the errors, but the things I believe I may have screwed up are how to find if a player is sneaking or not, how to set the item in hand to nothing, and I also think I may be defining "inhand" incorrectly. Theres just too much I think I screwed up, so if you see something let me know.
You get the error because you are casting an entity to a PlayerInventory. Cast to a player and then check the item in hand. Player also has an isSneaking() method which you can use.
