    Well, I'm learning coding in Minecraft and I learn by my problems/questions being explained. With that being said, I'm just trying to do basic stuff. Don't make fun of me because I probably sound like a retard or am doing something completely wrong. xD I'm trying to make it so when a user does /health they lose lots of there health - currently, when I do it I get an error on '.getPlayer' and '.setHealth' is crossed out. :\

    Here's my fail:
    Code:
            public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
                if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("health")){
                Player player = (Player)sender;
                Player target = player.getWorld().getPlayer(args[0]);
                target.setHealth(50);
                    }
                    return false;
    This is also in my main... should it not be?
    remember no mean comments lol, and thanks for all help :)

    Bump.

    It has only been 20 minutes, so there is no need to bump.

    From what I understand, setHealth() requires a double now instead of an int. And try Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]) instead, but make sure you check how many args are in your command before using args[0] otherwise you may get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

    What do you mean by a double?

    This is how it looks now:
    Code:
            public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
                if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("health")){
                Player player = (Player)sender;
                Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                target.setHealth(50);
    and the only thing I'm getting an error on is 'target' on the last line

    What variable is set as 'target'? Are you forgetting to set Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]); as the target?
    And to answer your question on doubles, Entity health is now stored as doubles, which allow fractional health. eg. target.setHealth(2.5D);

    I replaced 'target' with player and now I'm getting no errors.. :)

    Code:
            public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
                if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("health")){
                Player player = (Player)sender;
                Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                player.setHealth(2.5D);
                   }
           return false;
    [SIZE=15px][FONT=Georgia]}
    [/FONT][/SIZE]
    So will this work now? If a user types /health is will lower there hearts, correct?

    Whats the point of Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]) then? Are you trying to do /health player and that will heal the target player?

    Nah, I'm trying to make it so when they /health they lose health.

    If you're doing that then do something like this:
    Code:
    if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("health")) {
      if (sender instanceof Player) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        player.setHealth(Math.max(0, player.getHealth() - 2D));
      } else {
        sender.sendMessage("Only players can execute this command");
      }
    }
    Which would remove 1 heart from the player

    The method getHealth() is ambiguous for the type Player

    so like:
    Code:
     double hp = getHealth();

    ?
    But where would I put that on:
    Code:
        public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
            if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("health")) {
                  if (sender instanceof Player) {
                    Player player = (Player) sender;
                    player.setHealth(Math.max(0, player.getHealth() - 20));

    Please stop bumping your posts.


    You need to learn java, and read up on the plugin tutorial.


    Health is ambiguous, you must compile against Bukkit

    Yes, I cannot understand why my health problem is not working. I've read the post and I still do not understand how to fix it. It's not like I'm asking someone to write me a program lol it's like 5 lines of code...
