Trying to look into how this is currently possible to do, at the moment I'm using on block dispenses item to check the distance between players and grabbing the closest player, but I'm not sure if I can do better than this? It's not the perfect distance, and I wonder if there is a better way of being able to check when the player is going to be equipped from a dispenser or not since the equipment events are unreliable or cannot be cancelled.

The entire goal of this is to block the player from equipping items if they have specified flags on said items, such as itemtags inside of the itemtag ( Slotted gems, etc. ) primarily but perhaps down the road I'll want other flags to completely block the player from equipping an item. This may also apply to entities as well.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

Oh you know what? There is a solution.

#

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockDispenseArmorEvent.html Apparently a spigot event exists soley for this purpose, but I am unsure if denizen has a relevant event or is using this at all.

BlockDispenseArmorEvent (Spigot-API 1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT API)

declaration: package: org.bukkit.event.block, class: BlockDispenseArmorEvent

#

It seems like we're only using this spigot event for the mirror equipment trait for npcs?

I don't know what the event would be, probably something like on dispenser equips entity or something.

I'm pretty sure this fires for that? if not then yeah that event will probably work

abstract tulip Feb 5, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

As stated, it's unreliable and not cancellable.

#

So I can't really use that event.

this is going to be the only other event i believe that manages listening to the dispenser

abstract tulip Feb 6, 2024, 12:01 PM

#

While I can currently block it, the spigot event I provided gives me exactly what I want. A way to block an entity from being equipped with a dispenser, instead of having it a bit unreliable based on distance. ( I don't know if it'll quip based on the closest person, or just whoever it feels like. )
