Solved Experience

I'm trying to give a player certain amount of experience when it respawns.
Everything works fine, except the part of actually 'giving' the experience.

I've tried player.setTotalExperience(amount) but I read that you shouldn't use this and I therefore tried player.giveExp(amount). Although this does work, it doesn't update the xp bar properly. When a player tries to enchant something, it can't. Because his/her level is still 0.

I've tried this custom class: https://github.com/aadnk/Experience...omphenix/xp/rewards/xp/ExperienceManager.java, but that didn't work either.

Do you guys have any ideas?

 

Hmmm I've never tried messing with total experience much, aside from giving myself level 9001 to show off ;P



I know that on xbox version of Minecraft, it is fine to change the value of totalExperience and set it to a float, and nothing bad can happen unless you mess the hex up

But that's not really relevant



Where did it say don't use setTotalExperience() ? and why?

I find it strange that Bukkit doesn't have working methods for experience. Although they work for a bit, they don't actually update the xpbar?

The problem is probably that you're giving it to them when they're dead. Schedule a sync task for like 3 ticks later then set their experience. I had this problem with potioneffects.

 

Hmm, I send it to them in the PlayerRespawnEvent. It ought not to be a problem?

 

Yeah that's a problem. PlayerRespawnEvent fire before they respawn, that's why you can do e.setRespawnLocation

 

Ah, ok. Thanks!

It seems to work. Thanks again!
