Solved hasPermission() problems

Hi!

Been working on a plugin where i need to check if the player has a permission or not. Easy enough I thought since I've been able to get it to work multiple times before.

I do this check in a PlayerLoginEvent listener method. The check is done with nothing more fancy then a if-statment with the player.hasPermission(insertPermissionHere) as argument.

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerLoginEvent(PlayerLoginEvent event) {    //Check if player is supposed to have infinite potion, if so add player to task
        Player player = event.getPlayer();    //Extract player from event for ease of use
        plugin.getLogger().info(player.getName() + " loggad in");    //Debug
 
        if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.speed1")) {    //If player has permission, then add to speed1
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            speed1.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
        else if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.speed2")) {    //If player has permission, then add to speed2
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            speed1.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
        else if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.speed3")) {    //If player has permission, then add to speed3
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            speed1.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
 
        if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.jump1")) {    //If player has permission, then add to jump1
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            jump1.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
        else if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.jump2")) {    //If player has permission, then add to jump2
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            jump2.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
        else if(player.hasPermission("abilities.trait.jump3")) {    //If player has permission, then add to jump3
            plugin.getLogger().info("s1");    //Debug
            jump3.addPlayer(player);    //Add player
        }
    }

My problem is that no matter what I try, no hasPermission() seems to return true.

I tried to set my test player to Op, and then it works. (But obviously no control over the permissions then.) That makes me think I misspelled the permissions strings, which does not seem to be the problem.

Code:

users:
    MrLarssonJr:
        permissions:
            abilities.trait.jump3: true

If anyone has a idea what's wrong I would be very interested to listen to it!

Have a good day!

 

Im shooting in the dark here, but you can try a switch statement

 

An idea that just poped in to my head.
PlayerLoginEvent event triggers when a player tries to login to let plugin have a say in the matter before the player is actually online. Because of this the players permission might not be loaded?

And thanks for the suggestion! Shall try it right away!

 

Switch is only numbers, so you may need to switch some things around (no pun intended) and it may work.

 

You can switch(Object) in JRE 7 now.

Try scheduling something; you can look up "bukkit schedular"

Switch can be for anything, you can switch entities and strings as well

Code:java

EntityType eName = event.getEntityType();
switch(eName){
        case ZOMBIE:
            break;
        case SKELETON:
        break;
        case SPIDER:
            break;
        case CAVE_SPIDER:
            break;
        case CREEPER:
            break;
}

 

Think I shall try to schedule the code to be executed x seconds after the plugin get event as @Cirni suggested. But that will have to be tomorrow since it's getting late.

 

Sorry, should have known better. You can. I was taught in Java 6 and I had forgotten that implementation in Java 7

 

Solved it as Cirno suggested, which leaves me to believe my thesis about permissions not being loaded being true.

Thanks for all help!

 

This is a side-subject: but the plugin tutorials explicitly tell people to compile plugins for java 1.6 and not 1.7 yet. The docs claim the craftbukkit server is supposed to able to run on systems that are still on 1.6. Maybe that information is out of date now, but because I'd read that I was explicitly avoiding 1.7.
