Help Configuring

Hello I am a developer of a guns plugin and I need help making it so the person can choose the item used as the gun. Here is the code for the guns part: ...

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onClick1(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK);
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if(p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STONE_HOE) {
Gun1(p);

Code:java

 
private void Gun1(Player p) {
EnderPearl ep = p.launchProjectile(EnderPearl.class); //Config - EnderPearl Example
ep.setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(2.5)); //Config - 2.5 Example
 

I want in the config that it has

Gun#1: (item)

So basically I do not need to have the STONE_HOE there.

Code:

if(p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.getByName(getConfig().getString("guns.gun1"))) {

In your config:

Code:

guns:
  gun1: STONE_HOE

Untested, but should work.

By the way, you have a semicolon at the end of that one if statement. You might want to fix that.

EDIT: If getByName() doesn't exist, try getMaterial() instead.

 

Woobie
Material.valueOf(getConfig().getString("guns.gun1"));

 

Rocoty
Material.getMaterial(getConfig().getString("guns.gun1"));

 

Why correct something that already works. Actually, I don't even know why they bother creating a method that does the exact same thing as another inherited method. If anything, getMaterial(String) is slower.

 

But more reliable.
It's also the 'proper' way of getting a Material object from a string.

http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/d6/d0e/enumorg_1_1bukkit_1_1Material.html
The Material.valueOf(..) method isn't even documented.

 

Of course it's not documented, it's inherited from Enum. And it is just as reliable as getMaterial(), if not more reliable.

It's documented here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Enum.html

 

How come in the config.yml it is

guns:
gun1:

Also does the gun1 have to be out like that

Also if i add a second gun can it just go

Guns:
Gun1:
Gun2:

This is the final outcome:

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onClick1(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
if(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK);
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if(p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.valueOf(getConfig().getString("guns.gun1"))) {
Gun1(p);
}
}
 

And the config is:

Code:

Guns:
  Gun1:
  Gun2:
 
#Gun2 is there since i have to guns
