Detect if the sneak key is pressed.

[Busti]

Hello,

I am trying to display information in the infobox of an Item when the sneak key is pressed. How would I go about this?

 

Thanks

P.S. I know how to display the information I just want to know if the sneak key is pressed...

player.isSneaking?

[Busti]

This will only be true if the player is actually sneaking. Not when just the key is pressed.

Put a key watcher on the client and send a packet to the server when pressed.  there is a way to watch for pressed and lifted if you want to know both.

 

Sorry, don't remember the exact syntax for it, but you should be able to search and find it.

[Busti]

Since this is just client sided I wouldn't need the packet. But I would like to avoid using a Tick handler...

[delpi]

Sorry, I don't have the code handy so I don't remember the exact setup, but I don't think you need a tickhandler to determine if the key is pressed.  Its an event of sometype.

 

Here is something on keybinding

And another one.

Simple search.

 

you can also watch for default minecraft key presses.  That should be more than enough for you to mess around and figure it out.

[Busti]

Thanks. Not exactly what I was expecting but I kinda knew that it would end like this. I just wanted to make it a one liner. It seems a bit overly complicated for just that purpose.

[delpi]

It is the type of thing you should have  build in your various code banks to copy over when you need it.  I could copy it into a new mod in a few minutes since I already have it built in and existing mod.

[Busti]

You don't have to do that. I decided to update my mod from scratch anyways since I decided to switch to scala completely.

 

Thanks

[delpi]

I was willing to give you a copy, but was more suggesting you go through the process of developing your own so you had it in your arsenal for the future.

[Busti]

I appreciate your efforts but as you said I should do it myself (and I want to)

[Busti]

Aaaaand I can delete 2 new classes and 30 minutes of my precious Time

[delpi]

save it.  will be useful for something later on.

GuiScreen.isShiftKeyDown

 

Curious, does this still work if the player rebinds the sneak key to something other than shift?

No, it just checks with the raw number for SHIFT.
