Solved Item meta lore code???

Hey, im coding a plugin and i cant figure out how to write the lore, i tried what i did with the item name but it did'nt work, please help. code:

Code:

ItemStack fly = new ItemStack(Material.STRING);
                ItemMeta flym = fly.getItemMeta();
                flym.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + "The Ability to Fly!");
                flym.setLore(ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC");

 

You have to set the ItemMeta back on the item after you're done.

fly.setItemMeta(flym);

 

@Scimiguy the error is with this line, it says " The method setLore(List<String>) in the type ItemMeta is not applicable for the arguments (String) " Heres the line thats making the error

Code:

flym.setLore(ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC");

 

Because Lore is a List of Strings.

use getLore() first, and edit the List that it gives you.

 

@Scimiguy this gives the same error :

Code:

flym.setLore(flym.getLore().set(1,ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC" ));

 

Don't do that, you haven't even check if lore != null.

ItemMeta meta = ItemStack#getItemMeta();
List<String> lore = meta.getLore();
if (lore == null)
lore == new ArrayList<String>();

Then deal with setting strings.
use List#add(int index, String element)
then set it back to the meta
meta.setLore()
Then back to the item
item.setItemMeta()

 

@Scimiguy okay, thanks

@Scimiguy i did this but it doesn't work, it says internal error occoured :

Code:

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("shop")) {
                ItemStack fly = new ItemStack(Material.STRING);
                ItemMeta flym = fly.getItemMeta();
                flym.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + "The Ability to Fly!");
                List<String> lore = flym.getLore();
                lore.set(1 , ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC" );
                fly.setItemMeta(flym);
                i.setItem(0, fly);
                p.openInventory(i);
            }

You still don't check, if the lore is null, tgat's the problem. Please read what others say you. You need to create a bew arraylist, then set it as the lore later

 

@mcdorli i have done this, it is still uneffective

Code:

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("shop")) {
                ItemStack fly = new ItemStack(Material.STRING);
                ItemMeta flym = fly.getItemMeta();
                flym.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + "The Ability to Fly!");
                List<String> lore = flym.getLore();
                if (lore == null) {
                    lore.set(1, ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC");
                    flym.setLore(lore);
                    fly.setItemMeta(flym);
                    i.setItem(0, fly);
                    p.openInventory(i);
                }
            }

 

Really?
You don't see why it's ineffective?

I mean these two lines alone should be enough to tell you why

1. if (lore == null) {
2. lore.set(1, ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC");

 

@Scimiguy Thanks, i did this and it worked

Code:

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("shop")) {
                ItemStack fly = new ItemStack(Material.STRING);
                ItemMeta flym = fly.getItemMeta();
                flym.setDisplayName(ChatColor.WHITE + "The Ability to Fly!");
                List<String> lore = flym.getLore();
                if (lore == null) {
                    lore = new ArrayList<String>();
                    lore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "1000 VC");
                    flym.setLore(lore);
                    fly.setItemMeta(flym);
                    i.setItem(0, fly);
                    p.openInventory(i);
                }
            }
