Leash animal API ?

Hi!

I try to control, via API, when animals can be leashed with a rope. I looked in API but not yet any clue how to detect when a player leash a animal and eventually deny this if some conditions are meet. If any have any hint, that will be very appreciated!

Thx.

I make some progress but i don't know how to cancel PlayerMouseButtonEvent (it seems this event don't have setCanceled(true) method ...

But i even if find a method to cancel mouse press button i don't think this is the best approach because left button is used very heavy in game ..

Idealy i want some Event who is triggered on start of special action of equipped item like "Catch Animal", "Shear sheep", etc ...

        @EventMethod
        public void onPlayerSpawn(PlayerSpawnEvent evt) {
            Player p=evt.getPlayer();
            
            // enable mouse listening, otherwise event PlayerMouseEvent don't fire.
            p.setListenForMouseInput(true);
        }
        
        @EventMethod
        public void onMouseButton(PlayerMouseButtonEvent event){
                Player player = event.getPlayer();
                //We only want to process mouse presses (ignore button releases)
                if(event.isPressed()){
                    if(event.getButton() == MouseButton.Left){
                        print ("Player %s press left mouse button button ... ",player.getName());
                        Inventory inv=player.getInventory();
                        Item item= inv.getItem(inv.getEquippedItemSlot() , SlotType.Quickslot) ;
                        if (item!=null) {
                            ItemDefinition def=item.getDefinition();
                            print("  Have a equiped item: %s ",def.name);
                            if ("rope".equals(def.name)) {
                                print("  Rope equiped and try to use left button - animal catch! Check condition and cancel event if required!");
                                // Here i don't know how to cancel mouse button ...
                            }
                        } else {
                            print("  Don't have equiped item!");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

But maybe I can still get an event (e.g. "PlayerNpcLeashEvent" or smth like that) added with the next hotfix

That will be fantastic!

About shearing sheeps, basically this is handled by PlayerNpcInteractionEvent, but I just realized that this is way too limited... this definitely needs some better handling which provides more information about the actual interaction type. Right now it's triggered if you just press F, but it's also triggered when shearing sheeps etc. I will put this on my list (but I'm not sure if this will make it into the next hotfix)!

Here i think about a more generic event like PlayerUseAction. This can be triggered basically when player use equipped item, like rope to leash, shear to shear a shep, knife to skin, knife on tanning rack, bucket to get milk, bucket to get water, etc. and maybe more like use on bread to get half bread, on melon to get slices, etc.
