onEntityCollision event?

Not sure if something like this exists, probably not, but it would be VERY usefull!
It would get fired when an entity touches another entity,or a solid block...
I have a couple of plugins in development which could really use that... what do you guys think?

 

They don't even register on entity move so I doubt it.

 

onPlayerCollision,then?
Wouldn't be as good,but still usefull...

 

Hmm yeah, I could probably write a custom event for it

 

It's so simple to add entity block collisions (I mean, this is in the ENTITY class....)

Code:

            // CraftBukkit start
            if ((this.positionChanged) && (this.getBukkitEntity() instanceof Vehicle)) {
                Vehicle vehicle = (Vehicle) this.getBukkitEntity();
                org.bukkit.block.Block block = this.world.getWorld().getBlockAt(MathHelper.floor(this.locX), MathHelper.floor(this.locY - 0.20000000298023224D - (double) this.height), MathHelper.floor(this.locZ));

                if (d5 > d0) {
                    block = block.getRelative(BlockFace.SOUTH);
                } else if (d5 < d0) {
                    block = block.getRelative(BlockFace.NORTH);
                } else if (d7 > d2) {
                    block = block.getRelative(BlockFace.WEST);
                } else if (d7 < d2) {
                    block = block.getRelative(BlockFace.EAST);
                }

                VehicleBlockCollisionEvent event = new VehicleBlockCollisionEvent(vehicle, block);
                this.world.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);
            }
            // CraftBukkit end

Why did they even check if it was a vehicle and subdivide? Makes no sense to me -.-

 

It's for minecarts...there's a plugin that lets you create minecart trains,which uses this!
They couldn't do it for all entities,because it would cause lag...

 

Unless they used a buggy event system with overhead delay, it would be a bad system. In theory calling another function should take 0.00 ms delay. If they used HashMaps in their events, yeah, then it would cause issues.
