Addon Development Assistance

[jedk1]

Okay so I've been thinking lately... And well I can't think of anything new to make. SO, I've decided I want to start helping other addon devs with questions or bits of code they are stuck on. So if any addon dev has a question they think I might know the answer to (regarding the Project Korra API or Spigot API) just ask away. I will try and post snippets of code here that I think will be helpful to people too!

Is mayonnaise an instrument? (if you don't watch SpongeBob this will make no sense)

Edit: I have an actual question, but gonna wait till I get home so I can look at my code.

is it possible to check if a player is left clicking, while NOT targeting a block? If so, how?

Left clicking?

Left clicking?

Yea.
I need to use for a move, and I want 1 for clicking on a block, and 1 for clicking in the air. (I am already using right clicking and shifting, this is the only option)

you could for say use:

if(player.getTargetBlock((HashSet<Material>) null, 6).getType().equals(Material.AIR)){
   //Assuming the player's punch range is 6, this will check if the block the player is targeting with a 6 block range is an AIR block.
   //If it's AIR, then do something.
}

}

hmm, that could work!
Tnx!

@White_Knight28 Heres how to get a material from a config option:

Okay so in your main class where you register everything:

config.addDefault("ExtraAbilities.jedk1.SomeSexyMove.Material", Material.STONE.name());

Then in your ability class:

private Material material = Material.getMaterial(ProjectKorra.plugin.getConfig().getString("ExtraAbilities.jedk1.SomeSexyMove.Material"));

This code will work, However it might throw an error if the material is null or doesn't exist. I haven't tested this but you could add a check somewhere before you use the material variable. Maybe something like:

if(material == null)
    material = Material.STONE;

This might work, or might not, as I said, I haven't tested it.

Why Material.STONE.name?

 

[jedk1]

Why Material.STONE.name?

because that will give you the string name of stone. which is STONE. It's the easiest way I could think of to do what you wanted.

What happens if someone changes it? Will it change?

 

[jedk1]

What happens if someone changes it? Will it change?

If they change the value in the config yes.

 

[Simplicitee]

I should just test it xD

 

[jedk1]

Is it possible to change something without changing the whole file? (Changing the fire particles fore example.)

what do you mean exactly?

 

[Finn_Bueno_]

what do you mean exactly?

Uhm, how do I explain this.
Nevermind, I guess it's just stupid
