Solved The left-hand side of the assignment must be a variable (Error)

I have written this code but it's giving me a error saying "The left-hand side of the assignment must be a variable."

Here is my code:

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent e) {
Player player = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
if (!e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase(inv.getName())) return;
if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta() == null) return;
if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().contains("Stick Recipe")) {
e.setCancelled(true);
if (e.getWhoClicked().getInventory().contains(Material.GOLD_NUGGET)){
e.getWhoClicked().getInventory().remove(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_NUGGET, 1));
} else (player.sendMessage("no");
 
}
e.getWhoClicked().closeInventory();
}

The line that gets the error is this line:

Code:java

} else (player.sendMessage("no");

Please help!

Your Code

Code:java

} else (player.sendMessage("no");

My fix:

Code:java

} else {player.sendMessage("no");

Correct me if I am wrong, but you could do this:

Code:java

} else player.sendMessage("no");

 

Dealyise thanks for the fast response, worked perfectly!

 

ZodiacTheories You could do that, yes, but with brackets it's easier to read (my opinion).

ZodiacTheories yes that works fine too
