hi

 

to be more specific i want a helmet to light up the surrounding area like a torch when it is equipped but i cant find any onEquip functions. was looking for an event method also but couldnt find anything.

 

any help is appreciated thanks

i am not sure if there is player update event, else use entity update , check if its a player, than check if he has the armor equipped, thatn ligt up area

Armour have method onArmorTick - called when you are wearing armour. (inside your armour class, override it).

 

For vanilla armour - indeed - PlayerTickEvent or LivingUpdateEvent, check eq and do stuff.

This is assuming that you'd be changing the light level of the block where the player's head is. What you could do is save the player's last x, y, and z location somehow and on every armor tick, compare that to the player's current location. If that has changed, set the old location's light level to 0 and the new location to 15.

 

It's also worth noting that doing several light updates a second could be problematic.

You might find this mod useful

It is designed so that your mod can talk to it - turn on lights, turn them off again.  You can even tell it that your helmet should glow.  Much easier and faster than reinventing the wheel yourself (and much more likely to work, take it from me).
