PlayerChangeQuickSlotFocus Event

Trevor · Jul 5th 2018

Hi Red,

Would you please add an event to Player for detecting when the player changes focus to a new Quickslot?

I understand that currently I can use PlayerKeyEvent but I think for that method, I would need to register 5 listeners (one each for keys 1-5) and I don't know if that will trigger on changing the slot with the mouse wheel. A dedicated PlayerChangeQuickSlotFocus event would allow me to do something like this:

Code

public void onPlayerCommand(PlayerChangeQuickSlotFocus event){
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    Item e = player.getEquippedItem();
    if (e.getTypeID() == [valid item TypeID])
    {
        // do whatever my plugin does
    }
}

Thanks!

Well, mouse wheel would probably go unnoticed, but to detect a change in equipped item, you don't need to register 5 listeners, just:

Java

player.registerKeys(KeyInput.KEY_1, KeyInput.KEY_2, KeyInput.KEY_3, KeyInput.KEY_4, KeyInput.KEY_5);
//Set listening to true, otherwise the client will not forward any input
player.setListenForKeyInput(true);

but, sure, you need to do it for each player. Then you can get the key with a listener for the PlayerKeyEvent event.

Ah-hah! I shall refer to this note again in the future. Thank you!

That is unless someone has changed his keys

Indeed. The requested Change event is the ideal solution I feel, but that's a good workaround!

A PlayerChangeEquippedItemEvent event (which is called when the player changes the focus to a new quickslot) will be available with the next update
