[Tutorial] Easy way to make your Custom Event

So this, right here, is in my opinion, the SIMPLEST way of making a custom event.

Steps:
1) Make your Custom Event class, and make sure it extends Event.

Code:java

 
public class CustomEventClass extends Event{
 
}
 

2) Now, you need to make some Handlers, or else it is going to give you errors. (Taken from Here)

Code:java

 
private static final HandlerList handlers = new HandlerList();
 
public HandlerList getHandlers() {
return handlers;
}
 
public static HandlerList getHandlerList() {
return handlers;
}
 

3) Now that you have your handlers, make your specific needs. For example, if you need the Player when you call this event, you need to do something like this:

Code:java

 
//Put what you need to put, in replace of the Player.
public CustomEventClass(Player p){
p.sendMessage("The Event has Activated!");
}
 

4) Now, for calling the Event. You need to get the plugin manager, and call the Event from there.

Code:java

 
//Don't forget the Arguments! If you don't get the arguments from here, it will fail.
plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(new CustomEventClass(Player));
 

5) Now that your done, you can modify the Event, to make it return anything when the Event is called.

Code:java

 
//You can change this when the event is called, as Player is in the arguments.
Player p;
 
public CustomEventsClass(Player p){
       this.p = p;
}
 
//This is in the Custom Events Class again!
public Player getPlayer(){
 
}
 

There you go, thats the most SIMPLEST way, in my opinion, to make an Event.
