.launchProjectile() Help

Hi!

I'm new to plugin development, and I'm trying to make a simple plugin that fires an arrow when you right click with a fishing rod. In Eclipse, I don't get any errors, it seems to compile into a .jar just fine, and it logs that it's enabled, but it doesn't work. Here's the code for the main class:

Code:java

package com.gmail.CENSORED.arrowgun;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
//extra imports
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Arrow;
 
public final class arrowgun extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("arrowgun is enabled!");
    }
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        getLogger().info("arrowgun is dead.  :(  ");
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.FISHING_ROD) {
            player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);
        }
    }
}

Anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working? Thanks!

 

weirdo16 Looks like your class doesn't implement the Listener interface:

Code:java

public final class arrowgun extends JavaPlugin implements Listener
//this will allow you to listen for events in this class :p

You also forgot to register your events in the onEnable method:

Code:java

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
//this will register the events in this class, so the server knows where to find them!

If you don't register your events, they won't be listened for, and you can't listen for events unless you've implemented the Listener interface. Check out the Event API Reference on the BukkitWiki for more information on this!

 

OK, thanks Bavestry! It works now!
