New line help.

Hello!

I have a bit issues with new line and i hope your guys can help!

Alright, lets get to it..

This is where i set the lore on the item:

im trying to do so after the "," it creates a new line to the lore.

Config:


Is it possible to do it without changing the config?

Sorry for bad english.

 

Splitting it at "," should do the trick. You might need to change it from an array to a Collection though, don't remember if Lore takes arrays.

 

@Xerox262
Not arrays, it takes in a List<String>

@Simonhansen1999
Don't replace the comma, instead, split at the comma, and add each split string to the lore as a new line.

 

Can you give a example? Still pretty new to this.

 

New to Bukkit or Java, because the solution we gave is quite basic Java. Maybe you should read this, http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Learning_Java

Edit: When did they add Derek Banas? I don't remember those videos there.

But yea, when you feel like you're ready all it takes is a simple
String#split(",");
Then
Arrays.asList(String[]);

 

Dude, i can the most of the things on the site and theres nothing about "split", this is the only thing i need help to, so why can you not just come with a example instead?

Wrong link: https://bukkit.org/threads/plugin-dev-sticky-learning-java-where-to-learn.395662/

If anything, this would be a problem with learning Java, not bukkit.


@Simonhansen1999
If you don't understand how to do what I posted:

• Google "Java String.split"
• Google "Array.toList"
• Google "Collection append/merge"

 

I linked him to the learning Java section of it...

@Simonhansen1999 I told you under the message with my most recent edit how to do it.

 

didn't see it before i posted mine.

now i have this:

and its works, but have can i do so it shows all parts?

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

 

@Simonhansen1999
For loop through all of the objects in the array, and add each object to lore2. OR as I posted above, merge the Array with the Collection.

 

I can't figure out how the Collection thing works, so i must just stop it here.. I really need it, but.. :/

 

@Simonhansen1999
Everything you need to know about Collections:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/collections/index.html

 

I know I'm not solving the error or anything but..
"§"??

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you use chatcolor in lore?

And here's a mini-lesson. Please look into the things @Zombie_Striker Mentioned before.
Along with learning about collections in general.

Code:

        String s = "Pie is better, Than all universe";
        // This is my example String, in your case it would be what you get from config
       
        String[] s1 = s.split(",");
        /* This turns string s into two sparate strings in the array.
         * The First Being "Pie is better" and the second being "than all universe"
         * A basic collection of strings is an array
         *You can get each string from the array by typing the array's name followed by two square brackets
         *and the number string you want. Keep In mind, array's start counting at 0
         *So The first string in the array would be s1[0] and that would be considered a string
         *
         *So:
         *s1[0] = "Pie is better"
         *and
         *s1[1] = "Than all universe"
        */
       
        ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.DIRT);
        // Creates a new Itemstack.
       
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        // Gets the item meta
       
        List<String> lore = meta.getLore();
        /* This gets the lore from the meta,
        * which you would want to do if you were preserving the item's lore, while adding your own ontop of that.
        * If you just want to set the items lore and forget about the previous lore. change meta.getLore() to :
        * new ArrayList<String>(); or you can make the object elsewhere. You just need a new list.
        * Each new entry in the list is a new line on the lore
        * Lore can Have ChatColors in it;
        */
        for(String str: s1){
            lore.add(str);
        }
        /* Enhanced for loop to iterate through every string in the array
         * adds to the lore list.
         * Don't Know about enchanced for loops? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w41D0V-BnKQ
         */
        meta.setLore(lore);
        // Finally, after we edited the lore list, we must tell the meta that this is the new lore
       
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        //And since we edited the meta, we MUST update that too.

 

You can use ChatColors in lore. Also if you're not editing the String's then you can just do

Code:

List<String> lore = meta.getLore();
lore.addAll((List<String>) Arrays.asList(s1));

Assuming s1 is your String array.

 

Maybe a bit late, but i fixed it. Thanks for the help!

 

You could just do

Code:

meta.setLore(Arrays.asList(s1));
