Solved How to make it so it rains an item above a player head?!

Hai! I need to make a plugin that makes it rain a specific item, when toggled with a command, for a player! But, the item must despawn immediately, so it looks like its raining the item! PS: The player must not pickup the item, its only for show off! And, where can I set the player's name whom I want the potatoes on?

Code:

Code:

package me.HeavyMine13.pot;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.World;
import org.bukkit.entity.Item;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.inventory.InventoryClickEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Pot extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
        public void onEnable() {
            Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, (Plugin) this);
    } 
       
        public void onDisable() {
        }
       
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        private ArrayList<String> rainedOn = new ArrayList<String>();
        private HashMap<String, Integer> tids = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
 
        public void itemRain(final Player player, Material material)
        {
            //they are already being rained on
            if(rainedOn.contains(player.getName()))
            {
                return;
            }
 
            //get their world
            final World world = player.getWorld();
 
            final ItemStack is = new ItemStack(material, 392);
 
            //create the location, one/two blocks above player
            final Location location = player.getLocation().add(0,3,0);
 
            rainedOn.add(player.getName());
 
            tids.put(player.getName(),
                    this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable()
                    {
 
                        public void run()
                        {
                            //cancel them if they are no longer being rained on
                            if (!rainedOn.contains(player.getName()))
                            {
                                this.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(tids.get(player.getName()));
                                tids.remove(player.getName());
                            }
 
                            final Item i = world.dropItemNaturally(location, is);
                            i.setPickupDelay(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
 
                            plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable()
                            {
                                @Override
                                public void run()
                                {
                                    i.remove();
                                }
 
                            }, 20L);
                        }
 
                        }
 
                    }, 0L, 10L));
 
        }
 
        public void stopItemRain(Player player)
        {
            rainedOn.remove(player.getName());
        }
    }

 

Just drop it above the players location, cancel the PlayerPickupItemEvent, and despawn the item as it hits the ground (check block at the location of the item in PlayerPickupItemEvent).

 

item.setPickupDelay(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
That should do.

 

Garris0n Im sorry, but Me = TOTAL noob at entities (Because I don't really use them ) SO I need an example :I

I think you forgot to use a tag. Its Simple! @ [Enter Username To Tag] and just remove the space bettween the @ and the username

 

I did not tag anyone....

 

Then how is he supposed to respond...

 

I know that lol :I

Added my code to original post, and I still need help Please!

HeavyMine13 ...You have a method in an EventListener. Before you start making double posts you should check it yourself and not just copying it. Oustore the voids itemRain and stopItemRain. Put the HashMap and the ArrayList in the next line of "public class Pot ext..." line. If a player joins :

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
this.startItemRain(event.getPlayer, Material.WHAT_YOU_LIKE);
}

 

This is getting ridiculous, you don't even know what to do with code that you are being given in its complete form(by the way, don't do that...seriously).

Im sorry :/

Hai, the code worked except for this: this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() it gives me this error: The method getServer() is undefined for the type new Runnable(){}

Ok solved!
