No Arrows Indicator

No Arrow Indicator

Description

Shows an "Out of Arrows!" notification with sound effect when you try to shoot a bow but have no arrows in your inventory. The notification appears when you left-click (attack) while holding a bow without arrows.

Features

Detects left-click while holding a bow

Inventory scanning for arrows (hotbar + storage)

Notification display on right side with customizable colors

Sound effect ("SFX_Avatar_Powers_Disable")

Auto-dismiss notifications

1-second cooldown to prevent spam from rapid clicking

Packet-based (no background polling)

How It Works

Plugin intercepts SyncInteractionChains packets sent when you start an attack action

When a Primary interaction (left-click) is detected with a bow, it scans your entire inventory (hotbar + storage)

If no arrows are found, shows "Out of Arrows!" notification and plays "SFX_Avatar_Powers_Disable" sound

Notifications have a 1-second cooldown to prevent spam from rapid clicking

Notification auto-dismisses after a few seconds
