Converting 'Player' to 'Resident' for Towny hook.

Anyone know the syntax for converting the command sender to 'Resident' that towny accepts for it 'townAddResident(Town town,Resident resident)' command?

Im working on doing a /command I need for my server that puts said player into a start town of thier choice...issue is that:

Resident res = (Player)cs;
and
Resident res = player.getName();

dont work, as obviously it looking for the Resident, and get "Type mismatch cannot convert Player to Resident" error in eclipse.

anyone know what the correct way to do this is?

 

You are using the wrong cast: Resident res = (Player)cs;
You should cast the player to resident like so: Resident res = (Resident) player;

 

ahh...silly me.
dont know why I didnt think of that

Ok even after that ignorant mistake it seems setting a 'Town' doesnt work that way.
any tips of trying to set the town, even if just hardcoded for now? what I have is:

Code:java

 
public void NewPlayer(Player player){
Resident resident = (Resident)player;
Town town = Town("Starter");
town.addResident(resident);
TownyUniverse.getDataSource().saveResident(resident);
TownyUniverse.getDataSource().saveTown(town);
}
 

the Town town = Town("Starter"); fails, again by a "Town to String" issue.
Sorry for the noobness, first time diving into hooking Towny.

try:

Code:

 Town town = new Town("starter");

 

Ill give that a shot, thanks!

 

I don't belive casting that will work.... you'll get a similar error because the player object isn't created as a Resident...

I looked into Towny and it seems residents are made from player names like this:

Code:

Resident resident = new Resident(player.getName());
