Mouse Crosshair Enum

[Explicit 213]

public enum OSCrosshair {

    /**
     * #ordinal corresponds with the crosshair index
     */

    NONE, DEFAULT, ACTION

}

Example use:

public boolean didSuccessfullyInteract() {
    return getMouse().getCrosshairColor() == OSCrosshair.ACTION.ordinal()
}

Obviously use #getLastCrosshairColor or even write another method if checking after the crosshair has disappeared.

For those of us who may be unaware, please explain what a mouse crosshair is.

It's the little crosshair that turns red to show you clicked something.

enum is a waste but easier to understand then 0,1,2

No it's not, an enum makes perfect sense here. Hardcoding these values into your code is a beyond awful way to do things.

But aren't you essentially hard coding it anyway with the 

return getMouse().getCrosshairColor() == OSCrosshair.ACTION.ordinal()

 

?

Also we definitely have constants with the numbers for variable name recognition. I dunno if they got obfuscated or not though.

Kek

the ordinals get rekt if u guys use proper obfuscation

sorry m8 but probably won't work

(Never use ordinal dude :-(, store it in a variable instead )

Titties, I forgot about obfuscation.

How is that hard coded? If the action index changes I merely have to change the enum constant, unlike if I put the exact number in where I would have to search my code for all uses.

tru. But if you're using it in one method

than you'd only have to change it in one place anyway

So you have the same amount of changes.

I dunno. I consider that hard coding.

I wouldn't if you set variables in the enums.

Or if you set it as a variable.

but enum.ordinal()?

I dun like it. rip
