Solved Is there a way for me to use PlayerInteractEvent instead of EntityShootBow?

So I have this code for a "shotgun bow" which works perfectly but I want it to work on click instead of when an arrow gets shot so then it's instant (kinda like a gun[where clicking is pulling the trigger]) is there a way to change the code to work with PlayerInteractevent instead of EntityShootBow?

Code:

package me.neo.terminator.Listeners;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Arrow;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityShootBowEvent;

public class ItemUse implements Listener {

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    @EventHandler
      public void onShoot(EntityShootBowEvent e) {
        if(e.getProjectile() instanceof Arrow) {
            if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
                if (e.getBow() != null && e.getBow().getItemMeta() != null && e.getBow().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals(ChatColor.GOLD + "Shotgun")) {
                  
                    Arrow arrow = (Arrow) e.getProjectile();
                  
                    Arrow arrow1 = e.getEntity().getWorld().spawn(e.getEntity().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
                    arrow1.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
                    arrow1.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
                    arrow1.setShooter(e.getEntity());
                    arrow1.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(30)));
                  
                    Arrow arrow2 = e.getEntity().getWorld().spawn(e.getEntity().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
                    arrow2.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
                    arrow2.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
                    arrow2.setShooter(e.getEntity());
                    arrow2.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(-30)));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

help would be appreciated (I am still learning plugin development but am making projects to learn)

This is on 1.16.5 btw.

So I figured out the problem myself gonna post it here for anybody who has the same issue.

I first checked for the item and made sure it's not null to avoid a ton of exceptions.

then if its the right item I used player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class) and casted that to arrow

Arrow arrow = player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);

I then changed the e.getEntity() to e.getPlayer() which fixed the other issues

Code:

package me.neo.terminator.Listeners;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Arrow;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityShootBowEvent;

public class ItemUse implements Listener {

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    @EventHandler
      public void onShoot(EntityShootBowEvent e) {
        if(e.getProjectile() instanceof Arrow) {
            if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
                if (e.getBow() != null && e.getBow().getItemMeta() != null && e.getBow().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals(ChatColor.GOLD + "Shotgun")) {
                 
                    Arrow arrow = (Arrow) e.getProjectile();
                 
                    Arrow arrow1 = e.getEntity().getWorld().spawn(e.getEntity().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
                    arrow1.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
                    arrow1.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
                    arrow1.setShooter(e.getEntity());
                    arrow1.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(30)));
                 
                    Arrow arrow2 = e.getEntity().getWorld().spawn(e.getEntity().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
                    arrow2.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
                    arrow2.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
                    arrow2.setShooter(e.getEntity());
                    arrow2.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(-30)));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is the original code without PlayerInteractEvent

And here is the new code with it that allows the bow to instantly shoot

Code:

package me.neo.terminator.Listeners;

import java.util.List;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Arrow;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;


    public class ItemUse implements Listener {
   
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    @EventHandler
    public void onUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        if(event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR || event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
       
        ItemStack heldItem = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand();
          ItemMeta meta = heldItem.getItemMeta();
          if (meta == null)
            return;
          List<String> strings = meta.getLore();
          if (strings == null)
            return;
          if(player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains(ChatColor.GOLD + "Shotgun")) {
       
            
       
       
       
        
           
           
            Arrow arrow = player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);
           
           
            Arrow arrow1 = event.getPlayer().getWorld().spawn(event.getPlayer().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
            arrow1.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
            arrow1.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
            arrow1.setShooter(event.getPlayer());
            arrow1.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(10)));
           
            Arrow arrow2 = event.getPlayer().getWorld().spawn(event.getPlayer().getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
            arrow2.setDamage(arrow.getDamage());
            arrow2.setKnockbackStrength(arrow.getKnockbackStrength());
            arrow2.setShooter(event.getPlayer());
            arrow2.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().rotateAroundY(Math.toRadians(-10)));
           
           
           
           
         
   
      }
    }
  }
}
    

Hope this helps people who need it
