Eclipse errors

Hello,

First off, the code i am using:

Code:java

        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("itemme")){
            if (s instanceof Player){
                Player player = (Player)s;
                PlayerInventory inv = player.getInventory();
                String i = args[0];
 
                ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.i, 1);
 
            }

What i am trying to do i get the argument from a command, and then use that argument to create an itemstack which will then be given to the user. now on line 7, more specifically "Material.i" i am getting an error: "i cannot be resolved or is not a field." So, how could i make this work?

Thanks,
Anerdson

 

please learn java basics before coding bukkit.

referencing enumtype by name done in different way.

 

Code:

ItemStack item =new ItemStack(Material.args[0], 1);

and one thing the player need to do it in caps /itemme IRON_SWORD
to fix this you need to make a enum

 

RawCode Most people here are new to java, welcome to bukkit
Funergy No.

Try this:

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("itemme")){
if (s instanceof Player){
Player player = (Player)s;
PlayerInventory inv = player.getInventory();
String i = args[0];
 
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.matchMaterial(i), 1);

Be careful however, and read the documentation on the Material#matchMaterial(String) method:
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/Material.html#matchMaterial(java.lang.String)

Also consider reading the actual implementation of the method:
http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/src-html/org/bukkit/Material.html#line.595

Finally, learn more about how enumeration types work here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html

 

Thanks so much!
