Solved A small problem

I almost did what I wanted but I don't know how to do one thing, I know I am doing it wrong but I don't know how it has to be done. here is my code:

Code:

 @EventHandler
                                                        public void onPlayerInteract8(PlayerInteractEvent e){                                                    
                                                         Player p = e.getPlayer();
                                                           if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
                                                                Block b = e.getClickedBlock();
                                                              if(b.getType().equals(Material.DRAGON_EGG)){
                                                                    e.setCancelled(true);
                                                                    if(getConfig().getConfigurationSection("loc") == null) {

                                                                        getConfig().set("loc.x", p.getLocation().getX());
                                                                        getConfig().set("loc.y", p.getLocation().getY());

@CraterHater
What exactly are you asking/trying to do?

 

@CraterHater
as a tip the following:

Code:

int x1 = b.getX();
int y1 = b.getY();
int z1 = b.getZ();
String world = b.getWorld().getName();
Location t = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(world), x1, y1, z1);

can be condensed to:

Code:

Location t = b.getLocation();

Also, what @Coopah said, you say "what im trying to do isnt working," but we cannot figure what or why it is not work if we do not know what it is.

 

@meguy26 @Coopah Ow yeah XD I need it to check when a player right clicks a dragon egg to see if its location is stored in the config file if there is no location, set the eggs location and if the location in the config matches the location of the egg start a cooldown and after the cooldown start some stuff, but don't worry about the cooldown, And Meguy26 why I didn't do Location t = b.getLocation(); is because I guess I'll have to take the x y and z separately from the config.

 

@CraterHater

Code:

if(getConfig().getConfigurationSection("loc") == b)

will never return true, a configuration section CANNOT, under any circumstance, be the same object as a block. its just impossible.

 

When I posted this thread I already knew I did that wrong I just didn't knew how it should be done. And that b is supposed to be T, but that still doesn't work. I think I have to check if the x's are the same in the config and at the location of the block and so for the y and the z and the world. I just don't know how.

 

@CraterHater

Code:

int x1 = b.getX();
int y1 = b.getY();
int z1 = b.getZ();
String world1 = b.getWorld().getName();

FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
int x2 = Integer.parseInt(config.get("loc.x"));
int y2 = Integer.parseInt(config.get("loc.y"));
int z2 = Integer.parseInt(config.get("loc.z"));
String world2 = config.get("loc.world");

//replaces if(configsection == b)
if(x1 == x2 && z1 == z2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 && world1.equals(world2)){
//do your thing
}

 

@CraterHater A ConfigurationSection object will never be a Location object. Surely, when I put it like that, it makes sense, no? An apple can never be a banana, nor any other fruit than an apple. A ConfigurationSection cannot be a Location, nor any other object than another ConfigurationSection.

With that said, you need to store 4 values in the config: world name, x, y, and z. Then, to access those under a common section, you use ConfigurationSection#getKeys(false).

 

He says:
The method parseInt(String) in the type Integer is not applicable for the arguments (Object)
This happens at the parseints

and:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to String
this happens at
config.get("loc.world");

 

@CraterHater @meguy26

Code:

int x1 = b.getX();
int y1 = b.getY();
int z1 = b.getZ();

String world1 = b.getWorld().getName();
FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
int x2 = Integer.parseInt(config.getInt("loc.x"));
int y2 = Integer.parseInt(config.getInt("loc.y"));
int z2 = Integer.parseInt(config.getInt("loc.z"));
String world2 = config.getString("loc.world");

 

It says at parseInt:

The method parseInt(String) in the type Integer is not applicable for the arguments (int)

Code:

                                                                Block b = e.getClickedBlock();

                                                                    e.setCancelled(true);

@MCMatters @CraterHater
lol the mistakes weve made:

Code:

//should work
int x1 = b.getX();
int y1 = b.getY();
int z1 = b.getZ();
String world1 = b.getWorld().getName();

FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
int x2 = config.getInt("loc.x");
int y2 = config.getInt("loc.y");
int z2 = onfig.getInt("loc.z");
String world2 = config.getString("loc.world");

 

Not quite... all of the variables aren't used he says...
Please put the code in your eclipse so you understand:

Code:

                                                        @EventHandler
                                                        public void onPlayerInteract8(PlayerInteractEvent e){                                                    
                                                         Player p = e.getPlayer();
                                                           if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
                                                                Block b = e.getClickedBlock();

@CraterHater You need to use it? I understand it. The varibles arent used. What are you trying to achieve.

@CraterHater also instead of "he" just say "eclipse", it annoys me

@MCMatters I'll try to adapt my ways of speaking... it can be quite odd some days... You know, but do you know how to do it.

I tried this: Doesn't work
he says

The method getInt(String) in the type MemorySection is not applicable for the arguments (int)

Code:

                                                     @EventHandler
                                                        public void onPlayerInteract8(PlayerInteractEvent e){                                                    
                                                         Player p = e.getPlayer();
                                                           if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){

@CraterHater
You need to combine it with the if statement i gave in an earlier post...

Code:

//should work
int x1 = b.getX();
int y1 = b.getY();
int z1 = b.getZ();
String world1 = b.getWorld().getName();
FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
int x2 = config.getInt("loc.x");
int y2 = config.getInt("loc.y");
int z2 = onfig.getInt("loc.z");
String world2 = config.getString("loc.world");

if(x1 == x2 && z1 == z2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 && world1.equals(world2)){
//do your thing
}

@MCMatters
He says what he needs to do in previous posts...

 

@CraterHater
Why is the spacing so huge? Your code box looks blank because your code is pushed so far to the right.

Why not use the contains feature for configs? It returns a boolean anyway.

Why create a new instance of Config, especially if its not going to really do anything that saveConfig() can't?

Also, you are creating instances that are never being called. If there is suppost to be more code, what would be the purpos of getting those instances?

 

@meguy26 ok so if(x1 == x2 && z1 == z2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 && world1.equals(world2)){ returns false, it isn't equal while it should be.

Code:

Code:

 @EventHandler
                                                        public void onPlayerInteract8(PlayerInteractEvent e){

What is your definition of "nothing works"
What points of your debugging do you see, do you not see. How far is it getting, what is happening, what is happening in the console when you do the action trigger - does it blast a java error there at that time?

 

It gives no errors but it says: "You are already breeding an egg!" which indicates that if(x1 == x2 && z1 == z2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 && world1.equals(world2)){ does not equal to the location it has set, so that's not working.

 

@CraterHater Echo all the values to console, show code and show the output. If possible I can get on your test server and try to debug it myself. Private Message me on the forums if you'd like me to try that.

 

Well I did not port forward my test server so that can't be possible. But isn't there just a simple way to do this?

 

yes. Do at least part of that.
Echo the values of x1, x2 y1 y2 z1 z2 world1 world2 before doing the ifs
See if something goes against the assumptions (also, later you can reduce the if to not have the redundant z check)
You may find that the doubles have a different degree of precision, for example

 

How to echo

 

Echo = send text to somewhere you can see

player.sendMessage()
Bukkit.broadcastMessage()
System.out.print()
Bukkit.getLogger().info()

etc

Any method that you are comfortable with and have access to (player send message works good in methods using player objects, broadcastMessage works almost anywhere .. ).

 

It says "1" and than it says the else, of the if. he says: "You're already breeding an egg!" and that means that
if(x1 == x2 && z1 == z2 && y1 == y2 && z1 == z2 && world1.equals(world2)){
does not give true as it should

 

which is why you should be echoing the VALUES of x1, x2, z1, z2 y1, y2 world1, world2 prior to the if
so that you can see what they are in comparison to each other, in order to back-track the reasoning

IE are all the coordinates mismatching by fractions? Is it just the y coordinate different each time? Is there a space in the worldname?

 

@CraterHater
do getLogger().info("x1="+x1+" x2="+x2+" y1="+y1 + " y2="+y2+" z1="+z1+" z2="+z2)
before the if
