Solved Cast Potion

I'm trying to Cast an ItemStack to a potion. But it just doesn't work. Casting it to an item and then to an Potion works in code but crashes when triggering the event .

I got this so far:

Code:

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @EventHandler
    public void playerConsume (PlayerItemConsumeEvent e){
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        ItemStack item = e.getItem();
       

        if(item.getType() == Material.POTION){
           
            Potion potion = (Potion) e.getItem().getType();
           
           
           
        }

 

@MrGeneralQ That is because Potion doesn't extend ItemStack, you can use Potion.fromItemStack(ItemStack); however it's deprecated, why do you need the potion class, there might be an easier way of doing what you want.

EDIT: It says that if you're using 1.9+ to use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/PotionMeta.html

Are you using lower?

 

@Xerox262

What I am trying to do is seperate the different potions. Since all the potions have the same ID and are the same Material type.

 

@MrGeneralQ
You are not casting an Itemstack to a potion, you are casting the Itemstack's Type to a potion. Even still, you should use PotionMeta (if you are running a 1.9 server) if you want to get potion types.

Bassicly what I am trying to do is check if a specific potion has been consumed. If it is... then cancel the event.

 

@MrGeneralQ

1. Check if the itemstack is a potion
2. Get the itemstacks item meta. Cast it to a PotionMeta.
   Use PotionMeta.getCustomEffects to return a list of all the potion effects.
3. If the potion has the effect you want, cancel the event.

 

I'll try this! Thank you! I'll keep you up to date.

@Zombie_Striker

But how do I check it in a string format. I'm looking for data then I can read from a config file. I would use ItemID but they are all the same.

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

 

@MrGeneralQ Check it in string format? You mean the PotionType?

PotionMeta#getBasePotionData(); to get the PotionData
PotionData#getType(); to get the PotionType

P.S. The ItemStack durability shows you which potion it is, however you should use the PotionData

 

Thank you. Im on my Phone atm but I try this tomorrow.

UPDATE: It worked! Thnx!
