ServerSide LeftClick Detection

[shadow needle]

Wonky way to detect left click from serverside, it can't detect while you are spamming drop key.

PlayerEvents.tick(event => {
let p = event.player
  if(p.swingTime==1 && p.persistentData.swinging != 1) {
    p.tell(`leftClicked!`)
    //Some functions goes here...
  }
})

//Item Dropping causes Swinging
//Temporarily disalbe swinging detection
ItemEvents.dropped(event=>{
  let p = event.player
  p.persistentData.swinging = 1
  event.server.scheduleInTicks(2, event => {
    p.persistentData.swinging = 0
  })
})

It was kinda simple lol, actually it is similar as how plugin(bukkit) detect left click
Removing ItemEvents.dropped event block will cause dropping event also detected as leftclicked.

the problem here being that it doesn't detect cooldowns so you're better off using packets, because what if you're right-clicking a BE or swinging a fishing rod, or hell, even making other scripts that swing your arm?

I didnt touched packet area yet

This is a list of all the events. Choose your version.

this will break with bettercombat most likely bc that mod modifies arm swinging logic

• your main hand left click event fires even if you swing offhand weapon

[lucid spruce]

(in nbt anyway)

I need leftclick event in mid air

[shadow needle]

yea this is very unstable with heavy modded server and there is no reason to use this in that enviroment cause you can just work with cilent script

Its for only serversides and light weight, vanilla-ish servers

[frosty badger]

ohh right

[silver radish]

ItemEvents.firstLeftClicked?

[shadow needle]

I used that few times but it doesnt work

Maybe that is different with normal click events
