.getAction?

Im trying to get event.getAction() to work, but where do i get getAction from? Where do i import it from? Here is the code.

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.entity.Snowball;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent.getAction;

public class Snowstick extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)


}

 

First off, Action is undefined for PlayerEvent, use PlayerInteractEvent instead.
It would be better if you made a new variable:

Code:java

public class Snowstick exends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
  Player p = event.getPlayer();
  Action act = event.getAction();
 
  if(act == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {
    //do stuff
  }
}

And don't forget to register the event.

 

"getAction cannot be resolved or is not a field" is the error under .getAction

Here is the new Code:

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.entity.Snowball;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;

public class Snowstick extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)


}



}

 

Bernabeast You need to learn Java before writing plugins. getAction() is a method, not a variable, and should be accessed as such.

 

In your if statement: if(event.getAction == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)
add parenthesis: event.getAction().

 

Now, upon using player.launchProjectile(Snowball)
Its says (Snowball) "Snowball cannot be resolved to a variable"
Why must it have a Variable, why not just shoot the freaking Snowball?
Here is the new code:

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.PlayerInventory;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.entity.Snowball;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;

public class Snowstick extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
Player p = (Player) sender;
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("snowstick"));
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.STICK);
PlayerInventory pi = p.getInventory();
pi.addItem(item);
return false;
}

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR);
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK);
if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK);
player.launchProjectile(Snowball);




}



}

 

I posted the answer on your new thread about this.

 

Add this:

Code:java

    public void onEnable(){
        this.pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        this.config = this.getConfig();
        log.info( logTag + pdfFile.getName() + " v" + pdfFile.getVersion() + " enabled!");
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
    public void onDisable(){
        log.info( logTag + pdfFile.getName() + " v" + pdfFile.getVersion() + " disabled!");
    }

It wont "listen" properly without the onEnable & onDisable.

Also, in that first command, change the "return" to true- it'll save you a lot of time trying to figure out why the usage pops up.

Change this:

Code:java

public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR);
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK);
if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK);
player.launchProjectile(Snowball);
}

To this:

Code:java

public void onPlayerEvent(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR){
if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK){
player.launchProjectile(Snowball.class);
 
//Snowball should have a red squiggly, import it
  }
}
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK){
player.launchProjectile(Snowball.class);
      }
  }
}
 

That should work.

 

Still helping this guy, are we? If he can't be arsed to learn proper Java and the Bukkit API, he doesn't deserve help
