[1.11.2 - Solved] rayTrace never returns an Entity

Hi !

I want to get the Entity or Block the player is looking at when he presses a key.

        @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@SubscribeEvent
public void onClientTick(ClientTickEvent e) {
	if (IBEEditorClientProxy.keyBinding.isPressed() && Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen == null
			&& Minecraft.getMinecraft().player != null) {
		EntityPlayerSP player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().player;
		if (Minecraft.getMinecraft().playerController.getCurrentGameType().equals(GameType.CREATIVE)
				|| !IBEEditorMod.config.creativeModeOnly) {
			if(player.isSneaking())
				openItemEditor(player);
			else {
				RayTraceResult res = player.rayTrace(5, 1);
				if (res.typeOfHit.equals(RayTraceResult.Type.ENTITY))
					openEntityEditor(player);
				else if (res.typeOfHit.equals(RayTraceResult.Type.BLOCK))
					openBlockEditor(player);
				else
					openItemEditor(player);
			}
		} else
			player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString(
					TextFormatting.RED + "[" + IBEEditorMod.NAME + "] You must be in Creative mode."));
	}
}

 

This is exactly what I'm trying to do :

I have 3 "editors" : the Item editor, the Block editor and the Entity editor. They can be opened by using only one keybinding.

When the player is pressing the key while in Creative gamemode (or if the creativeModeOnly config is false) :

  • If the player is sneaking : the Item editor opens
  • Else :
    • If the player looks at an Entity : the Entity editor opens
    • Else if the player looks at a Block : the Block editor opens
    • Else : the Item editor opens

     

 

But when I look at an entity, it always open the Block editor or the Item editor.

System.out.println(res.entityHit != null)

always return false. I don't know how to fix that.

Can someone help me ?

Oh, ok. It confused me because

RayTraceResult

has an Entity return type. Thanks, now it works !

 

It does, but that doesn't mean that method that returns a

RayTraceResult

checks against entities (or vice versa).

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
