How can my plugin.yml not be correct....

The Name of the project is EffectSigns as it doesn't show it there, can someone tell me how to fix this?

Plugin.yml :

Code:

name: EffectSigns
main: me.mat.effectsigns.Main
version: 0.1
author: Mat 
description: Use Signs To Give Players Potion Effects

Main Class

Code:java

package me.mat.effectsigns;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
 
    public void onEnable() {
 
        System.out.println("EffectSigns Enabled");
 
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
 
        pm.registerEvents(new PlayerListener(), this);
        pm.registerEvents(new SignListener(), this);
 
 
    }
 
 
    public void onDisable() {
 
        System.out.println("EffectSigns Disabled");
 
    }
 
 
 
}

PlayerListener:

Code:java

package me.mat.effectsigns;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Sign;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
 
public class PlayerListener implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void interact(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
Action action = event.getAction();
Material block = event.getClickedBlock().getType();
if(action == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
if(block == Material.SIGN_POST || block == Material.WALL_SIGN) {
Sign sign = (Sign)(event.getClickedBlock().getState());
String line1 = sign.getLine(0);
String line2 = sign.getLine(1);
if (player.hasPermission("effectsigns.speed")) {
if (line1.contains("[EffectSigns]") && line2.contains("Speed")) {
 
Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(),"potion " + player.getName() + " speed 120 2");
 
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You Were Given The Effect" + ChatColor.AQUA + " Speed" + ChatColor.GREEN + " For 2 Minutes");
}
} else {
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You Do Not Have Permission To Use A Speed Sign");
}
 
}return; //return for block
 
 
}return; //return for action
}
 
 
 
}
 
 
 

Then There is the sign listener:

Code:java

package me.mat.effectsigns;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.SignChangeEvent;
 
public class SignListener implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void Sign(SignChangeEvent event) {
String line1= event.getLine(0);
String line2 = event.getLine(1);
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if(player.hasPermission("effectsigns.admin.speed")) {
if(line1.equalsIgnoreCase("[EffectSigns]")) {
if(line2.equalsIgnoreCase("Speed")) {
event.setLine(0, ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "[" + ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "EffectSigns" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "]");
event.setLine(1, ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "Speed");
} return;
} return;
} else {
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You Do Not Have The Permission " + ChatColor.GREEN + "effectsigns.admin.speed");
}
 
 
}
 
 
 
 
}
 

and then when i startup the test server it throws up a huge error message, it says it is because of te plugin.yml? i am so confused

 

Post the error message.
Oh, also, you posted your SignListener twice instead of the main class.

 

fixed

 

Surround the authors (so, in this case "Mat") with these [] (so like: "authors: [Mat]") I am not sure why this is required, but it should fix your problem.

 

Datdenkikniet
That's required for authors, not author.

Code:

author: Me
authors: [Me, You]

Can you post the error message you get?

 

Bukkit expects a single scalar value for author It expects a list of scalar values for authors

 

Sagacious_Zed ah, thanks

 

Without seeing the error my best guess is you used an indent (Tab key) instead of a space somewhere in your plugin.yml you can't do that.

 

And he solves it
