Dual Compass Targets

Hello Bukkit,
I have two compasses in my inventory. I want to set each compass to point to a different location, but

Code:java

        player.setCompassTarget(new Location(blah);

would set both of them to the same target. Is there a way to set both compasses to point to DIFFERENT targets? That would be awesome! I am thinking there must be a way to create a variable for each compass, possibly set different byte data for each, and check if that compass has the specific data, then set the location.

Thanks for the help,
ccrama

 

I thin you could set item metas info, example the display name and then use the PlayerItemHeldEvent get the current item at the slot, check the display name and set the location.

 

Seadragon91, is it possible to set two different locations? Would I do something like

Code:java

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
player.getItem().getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("COMPASS 1")){
player.setCompassTarget(new Location(blah);
}

 

I think that should work, because you change the compass location from different players.
Edit: Fixed your code

Code:

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    if (player.getItem().getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("COMPASS 1")) {
        player.setCompassTarget(new Location(blah);
    }
}

 

No, players can only have one compass target and all compasses in their inventory will have that target.

 

I think that you are right, but he could make compasses with different display name and over the listener he could change the location of the selected compass based on the display name.

 

RealDope and Seadragon91, I will test this momentarily. I'll tell you if it works!

 

No, you can only have 1 compas target per player.

 

I don't understand what you guys are even trying to do..

You can't set locations for individual compasses... Just look at the method, you call it on a player object. Detecting what compass it is using name is all fine and dandy, but what are you going to do past that?

 

RealDope I realize now what you are saying, and you are right. I really need two different compasses, though. Would it be possible to reskin the clock as a compass, then set the clock time to a degree measure, pseudo making a compass?

If this is too complicated, I might just make a hit compass to switch directions function.
