How to detect a player right-clicking with an item? [duplicate]

I want to make a "lightning rod" in Minecraft. I'll have a stick or something that when right-clicked, it summons lightning one block in front of player.

How can I detect a player right-clicking with a specific item in hand?

Well..you could use a fishing rod,and test for the entity when you right click the rod. The fishing rod bobber is an entity which gets summoned when you right click the fishing rod. The bobber's entity name is "unknown". So just /testfor @e[type=Unknown] Normal items can't be tested for right click because they don't do anything. The only way to do it,it's to do it with plugins
