to clear the item in hand of a player.

I don't know what to do I have read other threads but they don't work.
please help

 

PROwolfpcgames How come you can't use it? Do you get any errors? Stack-traces? If so, post it with the full class so we can help you.

 

Totom3 i can use it but it dosent work no stack traces or any thing it just does not work.

 

PROwolfpcgames Did you try debugging to make sure the method is effectively called? Print a message to the console; if it doesn't show up, then the code is not invoked.

 

Totom3 yes I did, I did all the basic testing stuff

 

PROwolfpcgames post your code (and no, not just that line )

 

the method for doing the clearing and powering up

Code:java

public void powerUp(EggPlayer player, String powerUp){
 
if(powerUp == "speed"){
if(player.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInHand().getAmount() > 1){
player.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInHand().setAmount(player.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getAmount() - 1);
player.getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 25, 3));
player.sendMessage(powerUp);
}else{
//where i need it to clear hand. yes it does get to this part i have tried
}
}
}

the event to call that method

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void Click(PlayerInteractEvent event){
 
Player player = event.getPlayer();
 
if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR && player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BAKED_POTATO || event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BAKED_POTATO){
EggMain.game.powerUp(new EggPlayer(player), "speed");
}
 
}

PROwolfpcgames
powerUp == "speed"

Use .equals() to compare Objects. As for clearing the hand, try updating the inventory after you clear it, else just remove the item that the player is currently selecting, etc.

 

teej107 I am not clearing the inventory i am trying to remove just the item in the players hand. also i did update the inventory after you told me and it did not work.

 

PROwolfpcgames Show the lines if code where you are clearing the player's hand.

 

This:

Code:java

player.getItemInHand().setDurability((short) 0);
            player.getItemInHand().setType(Material.AIR);

or this:

Code:java

player.getItemInHand().setType(null);

 

Code:java

 
public void powerUp(EggPlayer player, String powerUp) {
    ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
    if(powerUp == "speed") {
        if (item == null || item.getType().equals(Material.AIR)) {
            // player is not holding an item
            return;
        }
        int amount = item.getAmount();
        if(amount > 1) {
            item.setAmount(amount - 1);
        } else {
            item = new ItemStack(Material.AIR);
        }
        player.setItemInHand(item);
        player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 25, 3));
        player.sendMessage(powerUp);
    }
}
