Solved Scoreboard below name turns always 0

Hey,

I can't get scoreboards to work, the BELOW_NAME though. It show always 0, despite the fact I put 100, or 50 (it's a custom objective). The SIDE_BAR works perfectly...

How do I do this?

(saw that getScore(offlineplayer) was deprecated, but I used it and it didn't work too)

Thanks in advance!

 

Post the code you're using.

 

Here ya go!

Code:java

Scoreboard sb = ...;
Objective obj = sb.registerNewObjective("pc","pc");
obj.setDisplaySlot(BELOW_NAME);
obj.setDisplayName("%");
Score s = obj.getScore(nameofplayer);
s.setScore(100);
 
p.setScoreboard(sb);

 

Well there's not exactly anything wrong with that. How are you calling it? Are you setting the score again anywhere else?

 

Nothing more, just this...

 

Oh, I didn't read very carefully, sorry.

The problem lies here:

If you note the JavaDocs, the second string is "criteria". And if you note the Minecraft Wiki, there are specific criteria you're supposed to give. In this case, it should be "dummy".

Here's some more info on scoreboards if you need it:

hmh, gotta test that one xD. Stay stand-by plz

 

Use the 'tahg' button

 

@Garris0n
Nope, still 0, one weird thing. The scoreboard doesn't appear on the player who typed the command, but at the other players...

 

Well, they wouldn't see it if it's below name. They can't see their name.

Anyway, current code being used? In the original code you only add one player.

 

@Garris0n,
Well, no I have two clients, here's the code:

Code:java

Scoreboard sb = BattleField.pl().sm.getNewScoreboard();
Objective obj = sb.registerNewObjective("test", "dummy");
obj.setDisplayName("%");
obj.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
 
obj.getScore(p.getName()).setScore(100);
p.setScoreboard(sb);

@Garris0n,

I got an update, I got it to work, with a global scoreboard. But then my sideboard is messed up...

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

 

What is "a global scoreboard"?

Also,

Edit: You are saving the instance of the board somewhere, right?

 

Garris0n

So, global scoreboard is the same scoreboard for everyplayer

And ofcourse I save the instance. Im tryin something new, a bit of a hack, I'll send you if it worked.

 

I really can't tell you what to fix without seeing the actual code. You're not posting the full code (as in the actual entire class and any class that calls its methods).

 

Garris0n
It's that, beleive me or not.
But I fixed it to let it work with multiple scoreboards. Basically when you set a below name scoreboard, it's for everyplayer except yourself, so when I set the scoreboard of player A and I want seeing the health of player B, then I have to change the scoreboard for player A with the name of player B.

I gotta post this info somewhere...

 

If that is it, you're not saving the instance of the scoreboard, and that might be causing problems.

 

Garris0n
I'm saving the instances, I'm a java programmer, I know for sure how those things work...

Anyway, thanks!

 

So you have an instance variable that holds the scoreboard and I just can't see it? ...which means that is not the full code?

 

*facepalm* It's working, I fixed it and I saved the scoreboard in the class as a property.
