Registering events?

Well you see i have this plugin and what i think is happing is it is not registering events i dont know why but
Main class
http://pastebin.com/48FVmRjPArena classhttp://pastebin.com/QY4uFVqd
TheSocreboard class
http://pastebin.com/rSzt5Cdd
Im sorry i had to use pastebin for these there just so big
Thank you so much for helping!

 

1) Stop sleeping the main thread
2) Only extend JavaPlugin in a single class
3) Don't have a static main class variable
4) Every class does not have to be a listener
5) You never make any calls for registering events


(I will elaborate more in a moment, doing laundry)

 

Now I have done every thing you said but how do you suppose i register the events for all the classes

 

Go to your main class and do bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this)-- put the name of each class inside parenthesis

 

maxben34 How would i do that if my class names were Arena and TheScoreBoard and do i implements Listener for those classes?

 

You need implement listener on any class an event handler on it. register your events in the main class and instead of registerEvents(this,this) fill the args with plugin and the class name.

 

maxben34 Umm like this

Code:

    private static final Plugin Arena = null;
 
    private static final Listener Plugin = null;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("Plugin has been Enabled");
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this);
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(Plugin,Arena);
    }

No that wont work Someone help please!

Try ; this, Arena for the second registration.

 

It says Arena cannot be resolved to a variable and i was going to create a constant but it turns out to look like this

Code:java

    private static final Plugin Arena = null;

So i have no clue what to do and as you can tell i'm new to bukkit plane java i'm okay but not bukkit.

 

You have to call the Arena class inside your main class so it knows what "Arena" means. I think you should take a look at the tutorial on using multiple classes.

 

maxben34 I know how to do it it just says The method registerEvents(Listener, Plugin) in the type PluginManager is not applicable for the arguments (Main, Arena)

 

Code:java

private static final Plugin Arena = null;

Solution: Don't use keywords that you don't know the meaning of. By using final and setting to null you can never set that variable, and by having it static you have a persist null object throughout the runtime of your plugin. What maxben is trying to say is that you need to register the class with a instance of the class:

Code:java

public class YourMain extends JavaPlugin {
 
    private YourListener listener;
 
    public void onEnable() {
        this.listener = new YourListener();
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this.listener, this);
    }
 
}

 

I think it's tyme to learn java and get yourself familiarized with he Bukkit API.

So we have and it registers the classes Arena and TheScoreBoard

Code:java

    private Arena listener;
    private TheScoreBoard l;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("Plugin has been Enabled");
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this);
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this.listener,this);
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this.l,this);
    }

 

You never initialized the listener classes.

 

Thought i'd find you here...

 

Nice to see you.

Then what was oh nvm how do you suppose i do that?
Thank you everyone

 

woulnt the listener class be this?

 

bodhistrontg just do this

Code:

private static final Plugin Arena = null;
 
    private static final Listener Plugin = null;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("Plugin has been Enabled");
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this);
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Arena(),new Scoreboard()<---- if thats ur class name!);
    }

 

That would not work....

Also don't suggest keywords if you don't know what they mean.

You're very close, you made the correct usage on the .registerEvents(), but you need to set the variable to something first. For example:

Code:java

this.listener = new Arena(/* args */);
this.l = new TheScoreboard(/* args */);

 

Guys really...

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new TheScoreBoard(), this);
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Arena(), this);

 

And then you can no longer access the listener instances anywhere else in the plugin.

 

I've tryed that that is what i had at the begineing but still nothing

Now what is the args like what do they mean and what are they doing so i know what to put

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

 

you wrote the classes yourself. You put whatever args in there the constructor requires

 

holy moley
