Solved getWorld() creates a NullPointerException?

Please help ASAP, I'd appreciate it very much.

In my plugin, I set a location with this:

Code:

public Location loc;

Later on in the code, I set the world and coordinates:

Code:

loc.setWorld(Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("shop"));
loc.setX(xco);
loc.setY(yco);
loc.setZ(zco);

Upon using the command, the console returns with a NullPointerException at line 36 of my CommandExecutor. Line 36 is this:

Code:

loc.setWorld(Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("shop"));

Thanks in advance.

 

loc is null, you haven't set it to any instance.

 

How do I enable it, then? I need to teleport the player to the coded world and coordinates.

 

Instantiate it ?

 

Initialize it.

World loc = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("shop");

 

Are you serious?

 

What is the point of this code? That sets a variable for the world... It is literally the exact same code.

 

Actually worse, because he's defining a local variable of type World with the same name as your Location variable.
Anyways, you're never assigning a value to loc. Instantiate a location(new Location) or assign the location based on an event. I'm not going to spoon-feed you code, so if you don't understand that, refer to a java textbook.

 

Oh, I feel dumb. Instantiate. Okay, thanks. That answer was posted up above but I failed to realize what that meant >_< Grr. Well thank you very much :3
