[UTIL] BetterEvents! - New Events to bukkit!

Hey Guys! I'm erez9901, The creator of the Hub plugin! - Hub Plugin

This UTIL give you more useful events that are used very often!

- PlayerBlockMoveEvent - Calls when player walk one block.
- PlayerLookAtBlockEvent - Calls when player look at block (Great for detection!).
- PlayerSwordBlock - Calls when player block with sword.
- PlayerReleaseSwordBlock - Calls when player release the sword block.

How to use?:
Simply replace the old events register:

Code:

public void onEnable(){
    Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager.registerEvents(listener,plugin);
}

With a new one:

Code:

public void onEnable(){
    BetterEvents.getBetterEvents().registerEvents(listener, plugin);
}

Thats it!

Examples:

- PlayerBlockMoveEvent:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerBlockMove(PlayerBlockMoveEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You moved one block!");
    }

- PlayerSwordBlockEvent:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerSwordBlock(PlayerSwordBlockEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        ItemStack sword = e.getSword();
        if(sword.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_SWORD){
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "You are so OP!!!!");
        }
    }

- PlayerReleaseSwordBlockEvent:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerSwordBlockRelease(PlayerReleaseSwordBlockEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+ "Somebody can attack you..... you better block!");
    }

Your PlayerLookAtBlockEvent calls player.getTargetBlock() every single time someone moves or looks somewhere. You must really love those "can't keep up!" messages.

erez9901 nice! would be cool to add some other events such as maybe player bow release event... where are you coming from?

Great i will add that!
from the moon (UK)

 

EntityShootBowEvent

Someone_Like_You The entire resource is questionable, really. The first one is just a great way to make the PlayerMoveEvent cause more lag, the second is an absolutely terrible idea that will completely destroy the TPS of any server it's running on, and the last two really should've been combined into one event.

Most, if not all, of these "events" can be easily done with simple if-statements...

 

This UTIL give you more useful events that are used very often! erez9901

20 times per second to be precise

 

Garris0n yea I just noticed he checking every tick if the player still blocking, and his move events... bukkit forums are lucky to have people like you and few more people...

 

No, there isn't, but that's still not an excuse for bringing servers to a grinding halt with this sledgehammer-to-crack-a-walnut approach. Finding the block a player has targeted (not the cheapest of operations) should really only be done in reponse to a specific event (e.g. an interaction with some specific item), not every single time someone moves or looks around.
