[SOLVED] Cancelling a Player placing a block in the onBlockActivated() method?

[Sirpwnsamin]

Hello, I have a Block that I want to read the current item in the players hand, but not place it down in the world. Is there a way to cancel this?

[Draco18s]

Not through onBlockActivated, no.

I suggest using events (i don't know which event, but you could search), check which block is about to be placed and then cancel if it's your block.

Hi

 

Perhaps you could describe in a bit more detail what you're trying to do in terms of gameplay, because I'm a bit confused about exactly what you're trying to do

 

eg Once I've placed my Block of Repulsion, it won't let me add a second block of repulsion next to it unless I right-click on the ground instead of the block.

 

You might want to look at forge event onPlayerInteract(RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK).

Hello,

 

Here is an example:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

@ForgeSubscribe
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event)
{
	if (event.action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
	{
		if (event.entityPlayer.inventory.getCurrentItem().itemID == youritemid)
		{
			event.setCanceled(true);
		}
	}
}

 

 

Hope I helped!

In that case returning true in onBlockActivated should prevent the player from placing the block.
