Problem With Armor Durability

Currently, someone is helping me with a plugin with setting leather armor to the same as durability and strength as diamond armor. I have strength, but we've come to a problem with armor durability.
With this code, it checks for every time the armor is put on. So that means the user could just reapply the armor and have full durability again. How could we work around this?

Code:

 @EventHandler
public void onInvClick(InventoryClickEvent ice){
  ItemStack helmet = ice.getInventory().getItem(39);
 
  if(helmet.getType() == Material.LEATHER_HELMET){
  helmet.setDurability((short) 363);
  }

 

Try setting it so that the durability is set upon crafting

 

I'm planning to give it to them in kits, sorry I forgot to add this.

 

GoldenWrapper
Are the kits in a config file? Set the item in kit to be {Leather armor ID}:durability

 

Is this possible with CobraKits?

Code:

      type: LEATHER_CHESTPLATE
      meta:
        ==: ItemMeta
        meta-type: LEATHER_ARMOR
        display-name: Member
        enchants:
          PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL: 7
          PROTECTION_EXPLOSIONS: 3
        repair-cost: 2
        color:
          ==: Color
          RED: 229
          BLUE: 51
          GREEN: 229

 

Not sure if its possible as I've never used it, but try setting line 1 to

Code:

type: LEATHER_CHESTPLATE:363

Edit: Idea - If that doesn't work, change the event listener in your plugin to a command listener so it changes the durability when the command to obtain the kit is run

 

There's actually a damage option you can add, but it can't go negative (instead of 363 it's -363 in the damage category, positive would mean it would have damage). And good idea on the edit, but I'm not sure it would work with kit signs, since the signs don't issue a command.

I can't do the command, because the base command is /kit name. so if I had

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
        if (sender instanceof Player){
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("kit")){

Then they could just keep running /kit.

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

 

GoldenWrapper You could try adding metadata to the armor after increasing durability and then check that something like "increasedDurability" metadata does not exist before increasing

 

Dang, how would I go about doing this? I started this because I'm new to bukkit, so I thought it would be a simple little plugin :$

 

GoldenWrapper Personally I'm not very good with metadata but if no one can answer your question by tomorrow I'l see if I can help

 

Thanks a lot!
