Help with booleans

Hi, im pretty new and i'm having a problem using a command arg that checks a boolean.

I first have this:

Code:

public boolean spleeferz = false;

And this command checks the boolean, if event is already off, its supposed to say "stop what?"

Code:

        else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("stop")) {
            if (sender.hasPermission("eidos.spleefstop")) {
               
                if (spleeferz=false){
                    sender.sendMessage("Stop what? No games currently active");
                }
                else {
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§8[§dEIDOS §4SPLEEF§8] §eSpleef session has ended!");
                    spleeferz=false;
                    spleeferzjoin=false;
                }
            }
            else {
                sender.sendMessage("No permission!");
            }
        }

Problem is, it keeps saying "spleef session as ended" even if boolean "spleeferz" is false.
Any ideas?

i just tried this:

Code:

  spleeferz=false;
                if (spleeferz=false){
                    sender.sendMessage("Stop what? No games currently active");
                }
                else {
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§8[§dEIDOS §4SPLEEF§8] §eSpleef session has ended!");
                }

but still getting the ELSE clause..
i must be doing something wrong

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Use double equals when doing verifications in the if clause.

 

Code:

if (spleeferz=false){

You should make sure it looks like:

Code:

if (spleeferz==false){

== means Equals

If you do this everything should be fine.

Thanks guys it works now

 

Although may i recommend that instead of using '== false' that you use !boolean value

So in your example it would be

Code:java

if(!spleeferz){
// It's false
} else {
// It's true
}

Once you get used to it, it is faster and less code and not to mention easier to read
