send popup when breaking blocks and remove when not breaking blocks

hi, im trying to create a plugin that sends you popup when you break blocks but disables the HUD if you have it on you. And when you stop breaking blocks the HUD shows up in your screen again.

my code

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();

            if (hud.contains(p.getUniqueId())) {
                p.sendPopup("" + map.get(p.getName()));
hud.remove(p.getUniqueId());
            }
   //and when they are not breaking blocks anymore i want to send the Hud back up
}

        

Code:

    public ArrayList<UUID> hud = new ArrayList<UUID>();

can i get this accepted please

And what do you need help with? Do you need help trying to detect when the stop digging, or do you need help showing/hiding the HUD?

 

detect when the player stops digging

 

@dxrknez
Listen to PlayerInteractEvent. Detect when a player starts digging with playerinteractevent. Since digging triggers playerinteractevent every half second, if the last time the event was called was more than a second ago, then the player has stopped digging.

 

can't i use blockbreakevent?

 

@dxrknez
No. BlockBreakEvent is only triggered after you break a block. If the player start to mine a block, blockbreakevent will not trigger.

 

but doesn't PlayerInteractEvent triggers everytime you click?

 

@dxrknez
Yes but you could check if they are holding a pickaxe

 

I typically use a BukkitRunnable in such cases that perhaps runs every second? In parallel i would use a HashMap<Player, Long> where I store the last time, the system time, a player clicked something. And, well, if the runnable detects that last time is more than... probably half a second ago or the held item changed I'd send the popup
