Way to get Block-Side player is pointing at ?

Hi all,

I need to make a tool that breaks a 3x3 area around the block you break.

For that I need to know which side of the block the player is pointing at, but I haven't found a way to do it.

I know that onItemUse has a way to do it, but I want to make the tool be used with the left mouse button, not with the right one.

Is there any way to do that ?

Thanks,

Max

Mhh…I guess there is no good way to do it, I'm gonna have to use camera angles 

There is a way to know if player look at +X -X +Z -Z

I do this:

int var6 = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(EntityLiving.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3;

The variable can take 4 values, from 0 to 3, each case is a direction that the player is looking at (can't remember which is everyone, just try them).

Hope this help

or use onItemUseFirst. It runs whenever a block is used with your item in hand.

Is there a way to do so when onPlayerStoppedUsing() method is executed?

I used VictorZombies method, and it works great

I added the check for up and down and packed it into a playerUtil, so I can refer to it from everywhere

Thanks a lot,

Max

This is a very useful piece of code, thank you.

0 -> South

1 -> West

2 -> North

3 -> East
