Solved How to make a zoomed in effect i.e for a gun?

Hello,

I'm making some guns for my plugin and Iv done all the code for shooting and custom item. Just stumped on how to make a zoomin (scope) I thought about adding a slow postion effect on

Code:java

Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR

. But I'm not sure if that would work?

Thanks!

mrsamcraft Yes you can give them the slowness effect. You can add them to an ArrayList, so when they right click again, if they are in the list, remove the potion effect.

Sorry for asking this, But i'm kind new to java but I'm stumped on the ArrayList, I have been watching some tut on YouTube about ArrayList but i'm confused.. sorry.

Heres my code for the zoom in event.

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void PlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Player p = event.getPlayer();
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) {
if(p.getItemInHand().getType() != Material.IRON_BARDING){
return;
}
if(p.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() != null){
if(p.getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("Snowball Gun")){
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) {
event.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Zoomed In!");
p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, 200, 4));
 
}
}
}
 
}
}
}

My explanation of storing a player's name in an ArrayList:

Code:java

/* Create a new ArrayList */
ArrayList<String> sampleList = new ArrayList<String>();

This will create an ArrayList that'll store Strings

Code:java

/* Add a player's name */
sampleList.add(player.getName());

It will store the player's name in the list

Code:java

if(sampleList.contains(player.getName())){
/* Code */
}

This will test if a player's name is in the ArrayList

Code:java

/* Remove a player's name from an ArrayList */
sampleList.remove(player.getName());

*Remember to check beforehand before removing because if the player ain't in the list Java is goin to complain.
Lastly in the event you want to get how much thinsg are stored in an ArrayList:

Code:java

sampleList.size();

That'll return an int.
