[1.7.2] looking for event when NetherPortal is Used

[Jacky2611]

Hi Guys!

I am just looking for an event thats triggered when a player uses a nether portal.

I Looked through the source but didn't find anything on my own.

 

Thanks, Jacky

I think the PlayerChangedDimensionEvent might be useful for this.

But then my Teleporter would trigger it too.

Your Teleporter code could mark a flag to say "Player X is about to teleport" and when the PlayerChangedDimensionEvent occurs, you will know that it was caused by your teleporter.  If the PlayerChangedDimensionEvent occurs but the Teleporter flag is not set for that player, you know it was another portal that did it.

In the event handler you could possibly check more information to figure out what caused the change.    You could also have your teleporter set a flag to indicate it was activated.

But then any other Portal(mystcraft linkbook, dimensional doors,...) would trigger it too.

Can't i check if the player is colliding with an Portal block after he teleported or if the player entity's portal cooldown is bigger than 0?

You can try check the player pos and get the block in that pos.

Then store the data if the player was in a portal block.

And if the dimension change happend check if the player was in the portal block.

You don't need to complicate things so much. PlayerChangedDimensionEvent has a toDim integer that I'm pretty sure is the dimension ID. Just check if the dimension ID is -1 (the nether dimension ID) to make sure the player is going to the Nether.

 

No need for flags or block checks.
