Solved BlockBreakEvent Help

Hey I need some help with this, when I run it it gives this error:

This is my onEnable:

Code:

@Override
    public void onEnable(){
 
        list.add("GOLD_BLOCK");
        list.add("IRON_BLOCK");
        list.add("BOOK");
     
        logger.info("StarHunter has been enabled");
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        final FileConfiguration config = this.getConfig();
     
          pm.registerEvents(this, this);
        pm.registerEvents(new fallingblocks(this), this);
     
        config.addDefault("Star Size", 4);
        config.addDefault("Cooldown Timer", 72000);
        config.addDefault("TP Delay", 100);
        config.addDefault("Mining Time", 1200);
        config.addDefault("Max X", 1000);
        config.addDefault("Max Z", 1000);
        config.addDefault("Min X", 100);
        config.addDefault("Min Z", 100);
        config.addDefault("Star Drops Random", true);
        config.addDefault("If Random is false, list the items you want dropped from the star", list);
     
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }

This is my Event:

Code:java

 @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event){
 
Player p = event.getPlayer();
final Block a = event.getBlock();
Location world = a.getLocation();
 
if(fallingblocks.blocks.contains(a.getLocation())){
 
if (a.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK){
 
world.getBlock().setType(Material.AIR);
 
for(int e = 0; e < 4; e++){
Random rand = new Random();
Material[] materiallists = Material.values();
 
 
int size = materiallists.length;
int index = rand.nextInt(size);
 
 
Material randomMaterial = materiallists[index];
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(randomMaterial);
Material items = item.getType();
 
world.getBlock().setType(items);
 
}
 
int temp = (getConfig().getInt("Mining Time"))/20;
String tim;
if(temp > 59){
temp = temp/60;
tim = "minutes";
}else{
tim = "seconds";
}
String user = p.getName();
 
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[StarHunter] " + ChatColor.YELLOW + "You have " + ChatColor.RED + temp + " " + tim + ChatColor.YELLOW + " before this star gets removed");
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[StarHunter] " + ChatColor.RED + user + ChatColor.YELLOW + " has reached the stars core! There is " + ChatColor.RED + temp + " " + tim + ChatColor.YELLOW + " until the next hunt begins.");
 
messages = 0;
 
timer = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
int msg1 = (getConfig().getInt("Cooldown Timer"))/20;
int msg2 = (getConfig().getInt("Cooldown Timer")* 2/3)/20;
int msg3 = (getConfig().getInt("Cooldown Timer")* 1/3)/20;
String time;
switch(messages){
 
case 0:
fallingblocks.removal();
if(msg1 < 60){
time = "Seconds";
}else{
msg1 = msg1/60;
time = "Minutes";
}
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[StarHunter] " + ChatColor.YELLOW + "The Star Hunt starts in " + msg1 + " " + time);
messages++;
break;
case 1:
if(msg2 < 60){
time = "Seconds";
 
}else{
msg2 = msg2/60;
time = "Minutes";
}
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[StarHunter] " + ChatColor.YELLOW + "The Star Hunt starts in " + msg2 + " " + time);
messages++;
break;
case 2:
if(msg3 < 60){
time = "Seconds";
}else{
msg3 = msg3/60;
time = "Minutes";
}
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[StarHunter] " + ChatColor.YELLOW + "The Star Hunt starts in " + msg3 + " " + time);
messages++;
break;
case 3:
Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(timer);
 
messages = 0;
 
fallingblocks.loc();
break;
 
}
 
}
 
}, getConfig().getInt("Mining Time"), getConfig().getInt("Cooldown Timer")/3);
 
 
}else if(getConfig().getBoolean("Star Drops Random") == true){
p.sendMessage("true");
 
}else{
p.sendMessage("false");
}
 
 
 
 
}
}

It has something to do with the elseif statement at the end

 

jthort It has to do with line 526 in your code. Could you please point out which line line number 526 is for us?

It seems to be something with a null file. The only file I'm seeing is your config file. Make sure that when you compile your jar, that the config is included

 

16davidjm6
Sorry for the later response, here is line 526:

Code:

}else if(getConfig().getBoolean("Star Drops Random") == true){

Here is my config file:

Code:

Star Size: 4
Star Material: GOLD_BLOCK
Cooldown Timer: 72000
TP Delay: 100
Mining Time: 1200
Max X: 1000
Max Z: 1000
Min X: 100
Min Z: 100
Star Drops Random: false
If Random is false, list the items you want dropped from the star:
- GOLD_BLOCK
- IRON_BLOCK
- BONE

And yes you are correct, because if I remove the else if, it works as I said before. I really don't know what's wrong with that line, am I grabbing the boolean wrong?

 

jthort I don't think you can use spaces, can you?

 

werter318 I tried it without spaces, doesn't change anything. I'm also having some trouble where if I put a message such as "test" it says it multiple times on the block break event. Even if it's only in the code once, it repeats itself.

Edit: For example I put

Code:

p.sendMessage("test");

at the top of the event, in game it says "test" "false" "test" when I break one block

 

jthort

Is that your ENTIRE error log? (also there appears to be a few characters missing at the beginning of each line)

Getting the entire error log will better help us figure out where or why the config went null, because that definitely appears to be where the problem is. (Note that you might have a second error message in the loading of the plugin. Might be best to put your entire console into pastebin for us to see)

 

Just so you know, with the getConfig().get("SJSJSH") thing if the entry doesn't exist in your config it just returns NULL it won't tell you it doesn't exist, but it will just return null. So make sure that path really exists in your config.yml

 

Nateb1121 Yeah but as you see on my onEnable, it's default is not null, so there is now way it could return null

16davidjm6 I just noticed that, let me get a full log:

Those two error messages are different...

 

I just ran the plugin again and broke the block and this happened

 

Nateb1121

even though the error is different, it still has these things:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File cannot be null

jthort

Scroll up in your console. This error that you are giving us is happening when you attempt to break the block. What about on server startup, before anyone even logs in to your server. Are you getting any errors there?

The error appears to be the config being null. This typically happens if something is wrong on start up. Check to see if there is any error up in the startup of your server.

 

16davidjm6 No there is not, the plugin works perfectly, but every time you break a block it displays that error. It still shows the messages, so it's working.

 

Bump

 

jthort Is the Listener in your main class? And can we see the entire class?

 

I don't think your variable names in your config can contain any spaces, try changing those to dashes (-).

 

xTigerRebornx Yeah it's in the main class, the class is over 700 lines, plus I would rather not share it.

Jazed I'll try that when I get the chance

I figured out the issue, I imported it in both of my classes, and my other class is an extension of the first one. So it's running it twice. Thanks to 16davidjm6 werter318 Nateb1121 Jazed for all your help, Solved!
