Get length of potion effects

How can I get the length of potion effects players have applied to them?

Thats how you get the length of an effect, but how do I get the effect from an entity?

 

You asked how can i get the length of the potion effects

Do you mean you want the type of effect the entity has?

I mean get the potion effect from an entity, then check its duration.

 

Can anyone help?

You can loop through a player's active potion effects. Not sure about regular entities though.

Code:java

            Collection<PotionEffect> effects = p.getActivePotionEffects();
            for (PotionEffect e : effects) {
                e.getDuration();
            }

 

You can look in the API can't you? You want to know how to get potion effects from an entity. You should know only LivingEntities can have potion effects. Didn't know that? Then you can just use Player for example.

Google: Bukkit Player. Find the API. ctrl+f for "Potion" and look till you find something that gets what you want. You'll notice: getActivePotionEffects() in the API under inherited from LivingEntity. This will tell you that you can't get potion effects from and Entity because only Living Entities can have potion effects.

So in your case you can't get them from any entity. You have to check if they are a LivingEntity, and if they are you can use the method getActivePotionEffects().

Good luck!
