Inventory checking(Still need Help!)

[Kore]

Alright, so I have made many posts about how I could make a new ability on a pickaxe, and I found it!

but the problem is that I do not know how to check what item is in your hand! Please tell me what I need to have for me to be able to access that command, and where I should put it: load() method, or another method that I would have to make?

I think you need to put it in a class which mplements ITickHandler.

http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Tutorials/Upgrading_To_Forge_for_1.3.1#Ticking

this should explain how to make a client ticker.

then all you need to do is add a new method to the clientTicker.

public Item getCurrentItemEquipped(EntityPlayer entityplayer) throws NullPointerException{
        return entityplayer.inventory.getCurrentItem().getItem();    
    }

and add this to the onTickInGame method:

EntityClientPlayerMP player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
Item item = getCurrentItemEquipped(player);
if(item != null){
        if(item.shiftedIndex == "Your Item ID"){
                //Perfom Action
        }
}

alright, so I did that and now when I do it I added a method for the ability and one for the item, so the Console says Using item with ability ability
