Solved Damage to the item in hand?

what is the code to put damage or make the health lower in an item such as a sword or etc.

 

itemstack.setDurability();

 

is there like a nice big list or something? were do u get these codes?

 

most from memory.
when im stuck.
http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/

 

Player player = event.getPlayer();
ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
item.setDurability();

 

but if i do:
itemstack.setDurability();
that wudnt make damage to the tool wud it? cuz were am i saying take damage to the tool.
it seems lyk tht code wud only set the tool's health value.

 

the 'set' prefix of the method usually refers to something called a setter method in programming, it sets a value. So if you want to lower the damage you need to get the damage (now guess how you would do that), substract an amount, and set it to that new value

 

item.setDurability(item.getDurability() - 1);
EDIT: lol fire beat me to it

 

haha thnx guys, i understand now

 

Isn't durability effed up where the 'max durability' is actually the lowest?

In other words, durability is the damage it's gotten

So subtracting one from it's current durability would actually repair it by 1?

I may be wrong there, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was the last time I messed with it.

 

I did not comprehend that?:/

But also,

Code:

item.setDurability(item.getDurability() - 1);

is giving me an error on the "setDurability"
Eclipse is saying:

 

Basically what I was saying is durability zero means the items is completely repaired, untouched, full health, undamaged. Not used.

In basic terms, if you subtract from its durability, you are actually repairing it.
Imagine that durability is just "damage it has taken" and once it reaches a certain damage level (max durability) then it breaks.

Also, try this

item.setDurability((short) item.getDurability() - 1);

Or, if you listened to what I said and want to damage the item

item.setDurability((short) item.getDurability() + 1);

 

I did exactly:

Code:

i.setDurability((short) i.getDurability() + 1);

and still the same error its saying:/



MY i is:
ItemStack i = p.getItemInHand();

 

There should be no errors. What does the error say?

 

Same thing above:

 

Save your code, that is wrong.

Edit:
ItemStack i2 = e.getPlayer().getItemInHand();
i2.setDurability((short) (i2.getDurability() - 1));
This gives me no error.

Edit2: There's the problem, you have
(short) i.getDurability() - 1
change to
(short) (i.getDurability() - 1)

That was my bad btw, was writing outside of IDE

 

u got teamviewer? i can show u rite now. cuuz i need help

 

Yeah, go for it. PM me info.

 

DDDDDD EXCELLENT!
You are by far the best

Except, how would i make it say, if the item has Durability > 0 then destory the item (like it broke)
because it just goes all the way down, and doesnt break haha

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

 

if (i.getMaxDurability() == i.getDurability()) {
i.setType(Material.AIR);
}

 

any idea how i set the damage on an item? like how much damage a sword can do?
