Run command on click of item in GUI

Hello Bukkit,

I am wondering today, how I can run the command "/buy blah blah blah " when a player clicks an item in my gui. I have tried

Code:

Bukkit.dispatchCommand(player, "command")

But that did not work this is what part of my gui code looks like:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent e) {
        if (!e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase(GUI.getName())) return;
        if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta() == null) return;
        if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("FLASHBANG")) { /*Stun Grenade (adds blindness and confusion)*/
            e.setCancelled(true);
            ItemStack ball = new ItemStack(Material.SNOW_BALL, 3);
            e.getWhoClicked().getInventory().addItem(ball);
            e.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();

Any help is much appreciated

 

@glasseater What exactly didn't work? That aside:

• Check if getCurrentItem() doesn't return null.
• Instead of checking if getItemMeta() == null, check if !hasItemMeta(). (It's a bit cleaner, and a bit faster as it isn't forced to create ItemMeta objects when it doesn't need them)
• You forgot to check if ItemMeta hasDisplayName().
• Never close the Inventory in the InventoryClickEvent, schedule a task that does that for you (see the documentation). Note that it doesn't have to be delayed:
  Code:Java

  new BukkitRunnable()
  {
      ...
  }.runTask(pluginInstance);

 

You could just use this;

Code:

Player p = e.getPlayer();
p.performCommand("command here (without the /)");

That doesn't work. The gui will not function correctly, on the click of snowball.

 

@glasseater Post your full code.

 

If the clickeditem eaquls a snowball, then launch command.

Code:

if(e.getClickedItem().getType() == Material.SNOWBALL());
p.performCommand("cmd");
p.closeInventory();
