Hook farmland destroyed due to stepping ?

How can I hook when farmland is destroyed due to stepping on it (as player, mob or block) ?

I tried some BLOCK_* events but none of them trigger for that :/

 

Try this:

Code:Java

public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event)
{
    if (event.getAction().equals(Action.PHYSICAL))
    {
        if (event.getClickedBlock().getTypeId() == 60)
        {
            if (event.getPlayer() != null)
            {
                System.out.println(event.getPlayer().getName()+" destroyed farmland by stepping on it!");
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("A non-player destroyed farmland by stepping on it!");
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Oh I see, thanks, it works :}

A side question, a curiosity... is there a difference between getAction().equals(Action.PHYSICAL) and getAction() == Action.PHYSICAL ?

 

Yeah, using .equals implicitly casts both values to String, which works but is inefficient. Much better to use == here; direct comparisons are allowed with enum types.

 

I see, so when *should* I use .equals() ?

 

When comparing two objects which really are Strings (I'm including string literals in that).

 

Does this work (the non-player part) for flowing water destroying farmland too? Or is there any other Event I could cancel to prevent it from doing so? Can't find any in the Javadoc.

Thanks in advance!

Why don't you test it out ?

 

Because I'm a lazyhat and don't have Eclipse right at the moment, and you might have known. Sigh, now I'll be extra disappointed if it doesn't work! xD
Will do.

 

Nope, it won't work.

Well, the name says for itself:
onPlayerInteract

You probably may want to use BlockPhysicsEvent

Code:

public void onBlockPhysics (BlockPhysicsEvent event)

 

Well, I've tested myself since I'm having the tools at hand anway... the water doesn't seem to ruin the farmland block tough.
And no, it doesn't trigger for water hitting the wheat planted.

The onPlayerInteract() method triggers for mobs stepping on farmland too, so the name is confusing

 

Haha, I didn't know that

 

Uh? So it works actually using the onPlayerInteract method? I'm just trying to write some code to get it to work. Or do you mean that for you, water flowing on farmland doesn't ruin it? If so, it does, it needs some time to though.

It seems it works!

Code:

public class FarmlandPlayerListener extends PlayerListener {
   
    @Override
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Block block = event.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN);
       
        if (event.getAction() == (Action.PHYSICAL) && block.getType() == Material.SOIL) {
            if (event.getPlayer() == null) {
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }
    }
}

I didn't say I cancelled it I only printed a message in my code and nothing triggered.

 

Well, with that code I posted, on some weird way, it really works. Grass blocks still go back to dirt blocks if water flows on them, but Farmland blocks do not anymore. I'm wondering why the heck "event.getPlayer().getLocation()" actually works, as event.getPlayer() apparently is really null when triggered by WaterFlow. Wow. I'll test it again without my small plugin, then I can definitely confirm this.

Am I an idiot? Water doesn't kill farmland blocks at all, hahaha! I programmed a plugin for nothing and wasted your time too xD Please forgive me!

Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you, farmland doesn't get ruined by water, just the wheat on top and that doesn't trigger the event
