Coding help (Noob)

Hello does anyone know how to turn this into coding as i am a noob at this and ive only just started learning, thanks it will help alot.

What you do is you create an itemstack with a tripwire hook called with the name ChatColor.RED+"Vote Key"

then with the player interact event if he right clicks an enderchest then check if the item in his hand is a tripwire hook AND if the itemmeta display name is equal to ChatColor.RED+"Vote Key" and then you create a Random + the stuff you want them to receive

The Bukkit API is your favourite place. By the way, no one is going to spoonfeed you

 

We like to see some sort of effort put forth, before helping someone out.

If you want us to write that code for you, take it to Plugin Requests. If you want us to HELP you, program what you can, and we'll try to help fill in the gaps.

But, really, if you're new to programming Java, or programming in general, do NOT start with the Bukkit API. Learn the language using standard use-cases. Write your own programs, make a scrolling game. Anything. But don't start by relying on an API.

 

FerusGrim if your not gonna say something helpful dont say anything at all...

 

andrewginn
It's helpful...

 

I was being helpful. It's, for most, a mistake to learning to program with an API. Imagine trying to learn Spanish, by watching Mexican soap operas.

 

andrewginn Lookup on youtube Triiz MC, he's doing updated tutorials and just started the series But I reccomend learning a little Java tooooooo

YouTube. Stop. Now. You will gain bad habits from YouTube, like using getLogger _._. Just... Read the Bukkit API if you want to learn Bukkit. I highly recommend andrewginn to learn Java first...

 

CraftCreeper6

Code:java

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");

y am i in hell pls?

 

FerusGrim
Just...

 

'But I reccomend learning a little Java tooooooo' and what would you do if a Bukkit admin etc started started doing Bukkit tutorials, 'ey, would you be complaining then? Learning from the creators of bukkit. No. So stop being so stereotypical about YouTube.

 

CraftCreeper6

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
    PluginDescriptionFile pdf = getDescription();
    Logger.getLogger("Minecraft").log(Level.SEVERE, "Mai plugin is active version" + pdf.getVersion());
}

no pls stahp

 

TheGamesHawk2001
Sorry, what? The Bukkit admins can also be wrong, not saying there is anything wrong with it. I just recommend Java before Bukkit. I saw your post. Although, in your post you also added: "Lookup on youtube Triiz MC," in which I replied: "I highly recommend @andrewginn to learn Java first...", what is your issue with my reply?

 

TheGamesHawk2001

"Stereotypical," I haven't laughed that hard in days, thanks for the laugh. Never once have a seen a halfway decent YouTube tutorial, and learning Java first is imperative to trying to use the Bukkit API, try again with your half-baked argument.

 

FerusGrim
pls, i ned this codes for my minigame i dnt know hw to codes pls give me it. I gt to ere:

Code:java

public class main implements Listener {
public void onenable(){
Logger l = Logger.getLogger("MC");
l.log("my plugin wrks");
}
}

That it tnx

EDIT: Notice my errors?? Them YouTube habits

 

No, we wouldn't. YouTube where it concerns Bukkit development, especially tutorials, tends to draw in people who don't know the reasons behind certain things. Mostly just people who learned how to program a simple plugin, and say, "Hey, I should show everyone else!" And they do.

But they don't understand. They know the Bukkit API (kind of), but don't know Java. The reason we're so against this is because it spreads bad habits. And as people who stick around this forum and help people, it makes our jobs (albeit, completely volunteer, but a task nonetheless) harder.

We're here because we enjoy helping people. But it's such a pain in the ass to have to tell people over and over and over and fucking over not to do shit that they wouldn't have learned if not from some YouTube video by someone who supposedly knows what the hell they're talking about!

 

CraftCreeper6 i have learnt java: methods, variables all that stuff and how to use them. I have made this from a tutorial and it still wont load?!? I think it might be something which im missing, or there is an error, if there is can you help me to solve it?

andrewginn
A tutorial from where?

 

mythbusterma I have only seen 1 youtuber use logger etc for onEnable and that's BCBroz and it's like 2 1/2 years old.

 

-eye twitch-

 

TheGamesHawk2001
Any other habits you spot in every YouTube video? E.G: Overuse of Static?

 

Logger isn't wrong, just people prefers to use something different.

Isn't static when you use multiple classes...

I'm restraining myself from overriding my point by insulting you. Suffice it to say, you're entirely, irrevocably wrong.

Using the static method to get the Minecraft logger is wrong. Mostly because it's a System logger, instead of the logger for your specific plugin. But also because it's bad practice, and there's a method to get your plugin logger already in the class that you're extending.

JavaPlugin#getLogger returns the logger for your plugin.

Server#getLogger returns the logger for Bukkit.

 

Sorry here is the file can you tell me if there is a problem and here is the tutorial

No. You would use a constructor of some sort. If you are always using static in your plugins. Delete them.

andrewginn
Stop using it

Uncapitalised Main class...

Not using @Override for JavaPlugin#onEnable, for one.

 

I dont use static yet, since I haven't got into that yet. Furthermore, I have neither used getLogger due to the fact I have never come accross a circumstance I would want to use it and a tutorial / documentation that has used it.

 

TheGamesHawk2001
You realize how silly you sound, right? Why are you here defending someone from us telling him to teach himself Java, when you obviously don't understand Java, either?

 

TheGamesHawk2001 this is my thread not yours so stop asking for help and post a thread yourself, FerusGrim i have added the override above the public void, CraftCreeper6 I do not understand what you are trying to say in the picture, are you telling me to get rid of the 'JavaPlugin' Part?

 

Sorry, thought you had never come across it in a tutorial.

andrewginn
No, don't remove the extends JavaPlugin. Simply rename the class to "Main" rather than "main".
