How to get food that player is eating?

Im trying to change steak so that it gives you hearts and hunger, how would i go about doing this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Hubeb

 

Code:

if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player)
        {
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
            ItemStack foodBeingEaten = p.getItemInHand();
        }

That should do it

 

Yeah im stuck on the giving hearts thing. I believe it would be.

Code:java

 
player.getHealth() + 4; //Sudo of course 4 being 2 hearts
 

im not positive though.

 

Code:

p.setHealth(p.getHealth() + 4);
 

that's how you change a player's health by a certain amount

Ah ha great, thanks man.
This would go in PlayerInteractEvent or the EntityRegainHealthEvent?

 

If you only want this to happen when a player eats a consumable item (such as steak for example)
Then you would use "FoodLevelChangeEvent"

However, this event occurs when the player's food level goes up OR down.

So what if food is full? My plugin stops health regen. And you can only get back hearts if you eat certain foods.

 

In that case, you would use the PlayerInteractEvent, but you would have to check to see if it's a food item in the player's hand

Ok is there a way that i could carry out the eating animation as well. Because if i have to do it through the interact event i would have to.

Code:java

 
player.getItemInHand.getAmount() -1;
 

And this would not play the eating animation.

 

Isn't there a PlayerConsumeEvent or something like that?

 

no, there really isn't :/. Annoying huh

 

There is a PlayerItemConsumeEvent which handles when an item is consumed (food, potion, etc)

 

Why don't you use:

Than just add extra hearts based on watever condition you want.

That wouldn't trigger the animation though.

The client triggers the animation... It already will have sent the animation, THEN it adds hunger saturation (food bars)

Is there a way to do it with packets? I want it to display the eat animation, because if the players hunger bar is full it will not allow the player to eat.

 

hubeb

Yes, there is a packet to eat food.

how about on right click with food set their food bar to 19 hunger points? might be easier

 

XxShadow_NinjaxxX I want it to show the eating animation as well

 

it will? if the players hunger bar isn't full they can eat, so just check for PlayerInteractEvent, if the action is right click air/ right click block and if the item in their hand is a food item, then set their hunger to 19, letting them eat
