Help: Lightning strike on Join

Hello,

I am trying to make a plugin that strikes lightning when a player joins. I am new to coding and still learning.

This is what i have been thinking of as a start:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        player.getWorld().strikeLightning(player.getLocation());
    }

Please help!

Thanks!

 

That should work, pretty simple. If it doesn't work, you've probably forgotten to register your events. Do that by putting this line in your onEnable method:

Code:

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

(assuming you don't have a separate listener class)

 

Oh and the player may not see the lightning unless you cast it 1 tick after
