Checking item in hand

Hello,

I post a lot recently but I really want to get my plugin working

Code:

private void OnEntityTakeDamage(BaseCombatEntity entity, HitInfo hitInfo)
        {
            if (entity is BuildingBlock)
            {
                var block = entity as BuildingBlock;                if (block == null)
                    return;                if (block.grade == BuildingGrade.Enum.Wood)
                    hitInfo.damageTypes.Scale(Rust.DamageType.Slash, 4);
                if (block.grade == BuildingGrade.Enum.Stone)
                    hitInfo.damageTypes.Scale(Rust.DamageType.Slash, 80);            }            if (entity is Door)
                hitInfo.damageTypes.Scale(Rust.DamageType.Slash, 5);            else return;
        }

I am using OnEntityTakeDamage and I want to check if the user is using a salvaged.sword when hitting a wall, I have tried multiple different combinations and I either get Null Reference errors or method takes 0 arguments.

I altered the below code that Kayzor posted... but I couldn't get it to work.

Code:

bool checkItem(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
        {
            Item item = player.GetActiveItem();
            if (item != null)
            {
                var weapon = item.GetHeldEntity() as BaseProjectile;
                if (weapon != null && weapon.Equals("salvaged.sword"))
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

I wanted to use checkItem to check if the active item is salvaged.sword and then

Code:

if (block.grade == BuildingGrade.Enum.Wood && checkItem())
hitInfo.damageTypes.Scale(Rust.DamageType.Slash, 4);

 

What against checking it direct from the hitinfo?

Code:

hitInfo.Weapon?.GetItem().info.shortname

 

I wasn't sure you could do that, I will give that a shot now! Thanks.
