Coding help (Noob)

Wow this thread. If you are using Static in your plugins you should better know why. Otherwise, Don't. Use. It. Please.
Don't use youtube. Please use books. Or java's documentation. Also, LEARN JAVA before attempting to write Bukkit plugins. I can't make it any more simple than that.

If that's what you think, you can stop now.

 

FerusGrim Cus you're all saying don't watch YouTube videos. And all saying I'm using logger etc when I don't and you're all here crying about it lol.

pogostickdev does it too, and it's funny that you rush to defend your precious YouTube tutorials in such a fashion, that's not even the bad practice I'm talking about, but nice try. There's tons of other examples of bad practice, just look at what andrewginn came up with, by watching one of those tutorials and not knowing java (or what he's doing). I rest my case m

 

Guys im asking for help CraftCreeper6 and FerusGrim are the only ones helping so get lost TheGamesHawk2001 and go and complain at http://blahtherapy.com/chat-hub/ so ive added the override is there any other problems showing up which you think i should change?

 

mythbusterma What am I doing bad then? Surely, if a "tutorialer" uses logger etc, I can ajust my code in a way that isn't, well, using logger. PogoStick29

 

andrewginn
Could I see your plugin.yml?
And yes, change your class name to "Main" << exact capitalization.

 

mythbusterma What did i do wrong?

CraftCreeper6 i dont have a plugin.yml i didnt think i needed it for a recipe?

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

 

andrewginn
You need a plugin.yml for EVERY plugin you make.

 

CraftCreeper6 Ok got it i will make one now

 

TheGamesHawk2001 If you are not going to contribute to this thread, please leave.

andrewginn As CraftCreeper6 stated you will need a plugin.yml for every plugin you create, it's a rather simple addition. You can find all the information here: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML

 

SHOUTOUT TO CraftCreeper6 HE SOLVED IT THERE WAS NO PLUGIN.YML AND I ADDED ONE AND IT FIXED IT (MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK BRB LEMME FIX IT)

 

andrewginn

 

@CRAFTERCREEPER6 Ok fixed it just needed to unplug it and plug it back in.
One last thing how do i implement it so it works with votifer.
I vote for my server, i receive the key and how do i implement it so a playerevent happens with the key to open the crate, also how do i make the crate?

 

andrewginn
https://github.com/vexsoftware/votifier

 

CraftCreeper6 Where do i look, or do i install it also i dont know the code, can you link a video or post the code down below. Thanks also im getting a error with the colors i dont know how to fix it here is the new code:
http://pastebin.com/pL82iUD7

 

andrewginn
Download the plugin. Add it to your External Jar's. Use the API I linked. It has custom events & you can add items to the voters inventory. Scroll down and you'll find the API.

 

CraftCreeper6 i cant seem to find the api?

 

andrewginn
It's right here...
https://github.com/vexsoftware/votifier#writing-vote-listeners

 

CraftCreeper6 Ok i understand it but how do i give them the item when they vote?

 

andrewginn
Never used the Votifier API before but I believe you would get the vote. I think you may have to cast Player to the Voter.

Code:java

Player player = (Player) e.getVote();

Not sure. I believe it returns a String of the player name.

 

CraftCreeper6 Also i had a error with the ChatColor part can you see what the problem is? Thanks

andrewginn
What line, where?
EDIT: Change to this:

Code:java

package me.andrew.Test;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.enchantments.Enchantment;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ShapedRecipe;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin
{
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable()
    {
        ItemStack tripwirehook = new ItemStack(Material.TRIPWIRE_HOOK, 1);
        ItemMeta meta = tripwirehook.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "Vote Crate Key");
 
        ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
        lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Click the" + ChatColor.GREEN + "Vote Crate treasure chest" + ChatColor.GRAY + "to use this key");
 
        meta.setLore(lore);
 
        tripwirehook.setItemMeta(meta);
 
        ShapedRecipe Votekey = new ShapedRecipe(tripwirehook);
        Votekey.shape(new String[] { " s ", " s ", " w "  }).setIngredient('w', Material.WHEAT).setIngredient('s', Material.STICK);
        Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(Votekey);
    }
 
}

 

CraftCreeper6 the 25th line

 

You're forgetting the '+' between sections.

Code:java

lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Click the" + ChatColor.GREEN + "Vote Crate treasure chest" + ChatColor.GRAY + "to use this key");

 

FerusGrim
Yep

 

CraftCreeper6 and FerusGrim thank you both for the help im going to follow you both
Also if you play on arkham network i will give you a ton of money

 

andrewginn
I don't need money, don't worry about it

 

CraftCreeper6 FerusGrim 1 last thing above the custom lore it saids "Redstone" How do i remove it?

Oh dw i fixed it

CraftCreeper6 and FerusGrim How do i do this? with the player interact event if he right clicks a chest then with coding to check if the item in his hand is a tripwire hook and then take away the key and give him a random chance to win something.
