Reducing Usage

How do i make it so when i use an item for certain amount of time that item disappear

For example using "Diamond Hoe" to interact with block 5 times, the hoe disappear

 

PHP:

if($item->getDamage() => 5){
      //REMOVE ITEM HERE
}

 

This seems as code to crash plugin

 

Create variable which has value 0, and ++ it while player interacted. Then just check if the variable is bigger than 5.

 

He asked for a hoe.
When using a hoe it adds damage to the item.
So when the damage is 5 it will disappear.

The problem with your explanation is that he needs to save it somewhere and thats so unnecessary.

If he said like: a random item, it would be different but he is especially talking about a TOOL here.
Tools get damage every single time you use them.

 

that wont work because what im doing is if player open chest 5 times the item will disappear, and interaction with chest wont decrease the damage of the tools

 

May i ask how to create variable? I only know how to increment it

 

wait is it $item = 0, then $item++?

 

Item->getDamage() doesn't return if item is damaged, but returns item meta. If you are giving item in game, you use /give player 1:5 and 5 is the damage (meta). Durability you can get from item nbt https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/stable/src/pocketmine/item/Durable.php

 

It will crash because of this

PHP:

=> 

operator.

 

PHP:

public $uses = 0;

public function onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent $event) {
   if($event->getAction() == $event::RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && $event->getItem()->getId() == Item::DIAMOND_HOE) {
      $this->uses++; // $this->uses = $this->uses + 1
      if($this->uses >= 5) {
         // your code
         $this->uses = 0;
      }
   }
}

 

Thank it works, but whenever i stop the server, the incrementing did not get save and reset back to 0. Is there a way to prevent?

 

You can save it to file when server stops.

 

I cant seem to find any method on this forum that other player ask on how to store data in another folder

I don't see any reason to use file_put_contents if we can use simple NBT to do everything.
Code that GamakCZ sent you will cause problems if multiple players clicked with a hoe!

PHP:


function interact(\pocketmine\event\player\PlayerInteractEvent $ev){
    $item = $ev->getItem();
    if($ev->getAction() == $ev::RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && $item->getId() == \pocketmine\item\Item::DIAMOND_HOE){
        $nbt = $item->getNamedTag() ?? new \pocketmine\nbt\tag\CompoundTag("", []);
        if(!isset($item->getNamedTag()->uses)){
        $nbt->uses = new \pocketmine\nbt\tag\IntTag("uses", 1);
        }else if($nbt->uses->getValue() < 5){
            $nbt->uses = new \pocketmine\nbt\tag\IntTag("uses", $nbt->uses->getValue() + 1);
        }else{
            $nbt->uses = new \pocketmine\nbt\tag\IntTag("uses", 0);
            $item->pop();
        }
  }
}


 

It's better to use $nbt->setInt($key, $value);
