My first topic on here, don't hate me.

 

Some test code I'm working with:

 

@Override
public boolean onLeftClickEntity(ItemStack itemstack, EntityPlayer player, Entity ent) {
if (!ent.worldObj.isRemote) {
	System.out.println("|" + ent.getEntityName() + "|");
	if (ent.getEntityName() == "Pig") {
		System.out.println("TRIGGER");
	}
	System.out.println("|" + ent.getEntityName() + "|");
}
return false;
}

 

And here's what the console looks like when I hit a pig.

 

|Pig|
|Pig|

 

Going through the If statement, it outputs as false, even though it's seemingly supposed to be true. Is there anything I'm missing?

ent.getEntityName().equals("Pig")

 

String comparison in Java does not work like integer comparison.  Strings are compared as other complex objects, just like new ItemStack() doesn't equal new ItemStack(), so too will "Pig" not equal "Pig"

Dang it, I forgot about that. Thank you!
