Refreshing Scoreboard Under Name

Hey guys! I was playing around with scoreboards underneath the player's name. Now, all I need to do is refresh the scoreboard every time the player gets hit. How would I go about refreshing it?

Here is an example of my problem:


This scoreboard is meant to display the player's health below their name. It only updates after a reload.

I was following the tutorial by chasechocolate, here is my code:

Code:java

ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
        Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
 
        Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("health", "dummy");
        objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
        objective.setDisplayName("§7/ §r20");
 
        for(Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
          Score score = objective.getScore(online);
          score.setScore((int) online.getHealth()); //Example
        }
 
        for(Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
            online.setScoreboard(board);
        }

Well, since you're using it as a dummy we have to listen for when a player gets damaged by using EntityDamageEvent; create a new listener for said event. You should then do this:

• Check if the entity damaged was a player, if so cast the entity to a player
• Then get his score by calling Objective#getScore(String) with players name
• Once done that call Score#setScore(int) with his current health

 

mazentheamazin Ok thanks, I will try it out.

mazentheamazin I need to access it from a separate class. The objective can't be static. Sorry, I am kind of new to the scoreboard.

MineStein Scoreboard has both a getObjective() method for the display slot and name, both of which you are able to use.

xTigerRebornx I am so sorry, I am lost. I'll read the documentation.

Use Player#getScoreboard() then call Scoreboard#getObjective(String) with "health" then follow the steps I provided above.
