1.7.2 bukkit messes up coding

So A friend told me to use 1.5.2 bukkit as the project path instead of 1.7.2, I was curious why he told me to do that and now I realize. Some of my code is crossed out and it is sending errors. Plz help!



PLEASE HELP!

Code:java

package me.brett.kits;
 
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.entity.Snowball;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.ProjectileHitEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffect;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType;
 
public class WizardListener implements Listener{
    public WizardListener (Main instance) {
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
        if (!(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
            || !(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR))
            return;
        if (!(e.getItem().getType() == Material.BLAZE_ROD))
            return;     
        e.getPlayer().launchProjectile(Snowball.class);
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent e){
            Projectile p = e.getEntity();
            if (!(p instanceof Snowball)) return;
            Snowball s = (Snowball) p;
            s.getWorld().createExplosion(s.getLocation(), 0F);
            for (Entity en : s.getNearbyEntities(5, 5, 5)){
                if (en instanceof Player){
                    Player pl = (Player) en;
                    if (!(pl == e.getEntity().getShooter())) pl.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 100, 0));
                }
            }}
}
 

The getShooter bit is crossed out.

2 things:
1. Why don't you tell us what errors you're getting so we can actually help you?
2. Why do you have an empty constructor for your class? You don't need it.

 

Brett Basinger They are deprecated methods, I believe. They're not actual errors, but in the later updates if those methods get removed, your plugin will beak.

But why exactly are you using a 1.5 build?

 

Wolfey So I can just keep the 1.7.2 java build path and not have any errors?

 

Brett Basinger It's not an error, it's a warning that the method is deprecated, you can export it and the plugin will work just fine in the current version. If it bothers you that much, you can suppress the warning, and it will go away.

Although if you want, you can replace it up a new build, since coding in a 1.5 build is useless.

 

Brett Basinger
Maybe you'll find this of use: http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/entity/Projectile.html#getShooter()

 

And if you note the dev JavaDocs (the rb javadocs are still 1.6.4), the LivingEntity getShooter method is depcrecated in favor of a "ProjectileSource" system because other things (such as dispensers) can shoot projectiles.

@OP Update your code to use the new system. Use the latest API in your build path.

Good catch. Didn't realize I was looking at the RB docs. I feel stupid
