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).
