Solved Trouble removing dropped item

The item doesn't get removed when i drop it

Code:

@EventHandler
public void dropItem(PlayerDropItemEvent e)
{
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        ItemStack dropped = e.getItemDrop().getItemStack();
        if(dropped != null && hatItems.earArray.contains(dropped))
        {
            String race = mainClass.raceConfig.getString(p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".Race");
            if(race != null)
            {
                ItemStack item = mainClass.hatList(race);
                p.getInventory().setHelmet(item);
                dropped.setType(Material.AIR);
            }
        }
}

 

Please post full code.

 

thats the whole event, thats all you need, the mainClass is my main class im using a constructor to reference it
Main mainClass;
public Events(Main instance){
mainClass = instance;
}

Yes the event is registered, no there are no errors, i get the hat back but the item still stays on the ground, and there's nothing wrong with my mainClass or config because i tested it out with more simple code and it does the same thing:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void dropItem(PlayerDropItemEvent e)
    {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        ItemStack item = e.getItemDrop().getItemStack();
        if(item != null && item.getType() == Material.STICK)
        {
            p.sendMessage("test");
            ItemStack clone = item.clone();
            p.getInventory().setHelmet(clone);
            item.setType(Material.AIR);
        }
}

 

@Blackwing_Forged Probably the getItemStack method return a clone.
try to remove the item directly. 'e.getItemDrop().remove();'

 

omg :/ i didn't even know that was a method in there called remove, thanks a lot

 

@Blackwing_Forged In your compiler if you're using a modern one, if you type "." after a variable it will show the methods that go along with it and you can scroll through.

You can also look up the Bukkit API

 

@OfficerDeveloper
i know that :/ i just didn't know a method existed for it and didn't even check
