Solved How to add a lore to your current item in cursor

How to add a lore to your item in your cursor, and be able to have multiple lines of lores.

Code:

package randomArmorEffects.Books;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.inventory.InventoryClickEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;

public class ClickEvent implements Listener {
   
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @EventHandler
    private void inventory(InventoryClickEvent event){
       
        if(!(event.getCursor().hasItemMeta())) {
            System.out.println("Current Item does not have ItemMeta");
            return;
        }
       
        if(event.getCursor().getType().name().endsWith("BOOK") && !(event.getCurrentItem().getType().name().endsWith("BOOTS"))) {
            System.out.println("Returned");
            return;
        }
       
        ItemStack air = new ItemStack(Material.AIR);
       
        if(event.getCursor().getType().name().endsWith("BOOK")) {
           
            if(!(event.getCursor().hasItemMeta()) || !(event.getCursor().getItemMeta().hasLore())) {
                return;
            }
           
            if(event.getCursor().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + ChatColor.UNDERLINE + "Springs V")) {
                event.getInventory().addItem(event.getCurrentItem()); // How do you add a lore to this item?
                event.setCursor(air);                                                        // Without errors?
                event.getCursor().clone();
                event.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
                System.out.println("Springs 5 test");
            }
        }
    }
}

 

A) You already check if the item has ItemMeta earlier in your code, get rid of the second statement checking for meta
B) What if the cursor is empty?
C) For adding the lore, do something like this

Code:

ItemStack cursor = event.getCursor();
ItemMeta cursormeta = cursor.getItemMeta();
cursormeta.setLore(Arrays.asList(string 1, string 2, string 3, etc);
cursor.setItemMeta(cursormeta);

Edit: Also, package name should be all lowercase

 

Why do you have (!( instead of just (!

 

@kampai So it's easier to read, for me.

@henderry2019 I don't want to set the item meta, I want to add a lore to the item.
And its
ItemStack cursor = event.getCurrentItem();

Bump.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You add lore to an item by setting the item meta...

 

@henderry2019 If you set the item meta, you remove all the other item metas...

 

@RandomHashTags
You do realize (!( means if it DOES have a lore.
( means does ! means not ( means does again.
(!( means if the player does have something

 

@kampai I know

 

@kampai
Where did yóu learn java?
! means not, ()'s are just for organising stuff, (!object == anotherObject) isn't even correct syntax, () are added to make it work properly.

 

Then in that case, do this

Code:

ItemStack cursor = event.getCursor();
ItemMeta cursormeta = cursor.getItemMeta();
cursormeta.setLore(Arrays.asList(cursormeta.getLore(), string 1, string 2, string 3, etc);
cursor.setItemMeta(cursormeta);

 

@megamichiel
Umm ????
(!( means if the player does have something.
! means not that literately what I just said

Plus if it's just for organizing stuff then (!( won't work for if the player does, it would be if the player doesn't

 

@kampai
You're confusing :/, I want an example:

Code:

!(event.getCursor().getItemMeta().hasLore())

Do you think this returns true if it has a lore or if it doesn't have a lore?

 

@megamichiel That will return true if it has no lore.

 

@megamichiel
I'm guessing you mean (!( instead of !(
But that would return true if it has a lore.

 

@henderry2019 The

Code:

ItemStack cursor = event.getCursor();
ItemMeta cursormeta = cursor.getItemMeta();
cursormeta.setLore(Arrays.asList(cursormeta.getLore(), string 1, string 2, string 3, etc);
cursor.setItemMeta(cursormeta);

Gives the cursormeta.getLore() errors...
The method setLore(List<String>) in the type ItemMeta is not applicable for the arguments (List<Object>)

 

@RandomHashTags
Probably because string 1, string 2 isn't correct syntax. For what you want to do, create a new list and store the cursormeta's lore in it, then add new stuff, and finally apply the new lore.


@henderry2019
We have a winner!
@kampai
No, because only ! makes something opposite, I don't know where you got that (! is negative and (!( is positive, maybe this will help you.

 

@megamichiel Please use an example...

 

@RandomHashTags

Code:

List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>(cursormeta.getLore()); //cursormeta.getLore() is not modifyable, therefor we're creating a new list and storing the lore in it
//Add some strings to it (lore.add(String))
cursormeta.setLore(lore);
//Set the curor's itemmeta to the meta and then you're good to go

 

@megamichiel Sends an error.

GOT IT TOO WORK!
Using @megamichiel 's idea, and adding a few things, I got this:

Code:

package randomArmorEffects.Books;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.HumanEntity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.inventory.InventoryClickEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;

public class ClickEvent implements Listener {
   
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @EventHandler
    private void inventory(InventoryClickEvent event) {
       
        if(!(event.getCursor().hasItemMeta()) || !(event.getCursor().getItemMeta().hasLore())) {
            System.out.println("Current Item does not have ItemMeta");
            return;
        }
       
        if(event.getCursor().getType().name().endsWith("BOOK") && !(event.getCurrentItem().getType().name().endsWith("BOOTS"))) {
            System.out.println("Returned");
            return;
        }
       
        if(!(event.getCursor().getType().name().endsWith("BOOK"))) {
            return;
        }
       
       
       
        ItemStack air = new ItemStack(Material.AIR);
        ItemStack currentItem = new ItemStack(event.getCurrentItem());
        ItemMeta currentItemMeta = currentItem.getItemMeta();       
        List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
        lore.addAll(currentItemMeta.getLore());
        lore.add("TEST");
        currentItemMeta.setLore(lore);
        currentItem.setItemMeta(currentItemMeta);
       
        if(event.getCursor().getType().name().endsWith("BOOK")) {
           
            if(event.getCursor().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + ChatColor.UNDERLINE + "Springs V")) {
                HumanEntity player = event.getWhoClicked();
                event.getInventory().addItem(currentItem);
                event.setCursor(air);
                event.setCurrentItem(air);
                event.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
                ((Player) player).updateInventory();
                System.out.println("Springs 5 test");
            }
        }
    }
}
