Need help with code

Hi, I have this code:

Code:

    public boolean clearOwn(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(label.equalsIgnoreCase("cco") || label.equalsIgnoreCase("clearchatown") || label.equalsIgnoreCase("ccown")){
            if(!sender.hasPermission("cc.clearchat.own")){
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You do not have permission to use this command.");
                return true;
            }else{
                for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
                    sender.sendMessage(" ");
                    }
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "Clear" + ChatColor.GRAY + "Chat" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] " + ChatColor.GOLD + "You cleared your chat.");
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

For players to clear their own chat, but my code isn't working. Any solutions?

 

@banjo-226 Use cmd.getName() instead of label
Have you registered the command?
Is it in your plugin.yml?

 

@bwfcwalshy @timtower Yes, the commands have been entered into the plugin.yml.
I will try the cmd.getName() too

Just tried that, @bwfcwalshy cmd.getName() didn't change anything

 

@banjo-226
You need to override the onCommand method, your method is named incorrectly.

 

Maybe try

Code:java

 
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cco")
                && sender instanceof Player) {
//Your code
 
}else if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("clearchatown")) {
//Same code as above
 
}
 

*Add both cmd in plugin.yml

 

Code:

 publicboolean clearOwn(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){

Should Be

Code:

    public boolean onCommand(final CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) { 

.

 

@banjo-226 As @SergeantBud and @CraftCreeper6 have stated, you need to change the method name to onCommand. Due to the nature of overridden methods, name and parameters must be exact to override methods. Your clearOwn method is not being called which is why nothing is working. If you wish, you may implement the onCommand method and then call your own clearOwn method from there.

 

I swapped the method to onCommand, and it gives me an error saying that I have to rename it, so I put it on a new .java file, exported it but nothing happened. is there a way to like link the two classes together?

 

@banjo-226 Yes. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/arguments.html
Writing Bukkit plugins requires a knowledge of Java so I highly suggest that you gain a knowledge of it.

Commands are also covered in: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial

 

@banjo-226 @teej107

This is the EXACT reason the @Override annotation exists. In the future, use it.
