getSize and setSize for slimes

I'm learning java at the same time of making the plugin, but I can't figure out how to it make so when a slime spawns the size changes. Here is this code I keep kicking around:

Code:

 public void OnSlimeSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent event)
      {
          Slime slime;
          event.getEntity();
          event.getCreatureType();
          if(event.getCreatureType()==CreatureType.SLIME)
          {
              slime= (Slime)event.getEntity();
                 slime.setSize(slime.getSize()*2);

          }
 
      }

I'm probably missing something simple...

 

public void OnSlimeSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent event)
Ummm, you should take a closer look at events
If you listen to a CREATURE_SPAWN-event, your method needs to be called "onCreateSpawn" (with an CreatureSpawnEvent but you already have that).
Also I highly recommend you to use the "@Override"-annotation, since it directly prevents mistakes like that.

Code:

@Override
public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent event){
...

 

Oh..I had no idea that java was like that. Thank you, I was thinking like C++ where I can name the function just about whatever I want unless its the constructor. Thank you very much, it works now and with that info it will help me understand all this better.

 

@bill45
It's not exactly Java that forces you to take that method-name.
It's the bukkit-API that just calls a method called "onCreateSpawn" when a creature spawns ...
You should check out some tutorials to get started though.

 

Oh I see. That makes more sense.
