{HELP} REACH DISTANCE!

i want to make a command for my plugin called reach but i have no idea where to start...

{} = optional [] = mandatory
EX. /reach [DISTANCE] {PLAYER}

thanks in advanced,

I believe you can use the p.getTargetBlock method... but I'm not quite sure how to do this either...

 

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            plugin.getLogger().info("This command has to be called by a player");
            return true;
        }
 
    if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("reach")) {
        if (args.length > 0) {
            if (args.length > 1) {
                //Optional Argument
            }else{
                //Only the mendatory one
            }
        }else{
            //It's not long enough
        }
    }
}

Or did you mean the actual reach code?

 

i meant the code that sets the reach distance

 

Well you can check what block is targeted with for example the interact event. Then get the player X and Z and the block X and Z

sqrt((PlayerZ - BlockZ)^2 + (PlayerX - BlockX)^2) should get the distance betwean you and the block (So the reach length) If this exceeds a value you should cancel the event.

()

 

Actually, Location has a distance() method that accepts another location.

 

I guess you could also get the player's (using Player.getLocation()) and the block's Location and use the Location class's distance method. Like Player.getLocation().distance(Block.getLocation()) or something like that.
