"Unknown command" but registered in the plugin.yml

So I am trying to create a plugin, and one of my classes (the help page) is not working. When I type the command in-game it says "unknown command, type /help for help" and it is registered in the plugin.yml, because when I type sim *then click tab* it converts to "/SimplePots Help" anyone know what's wrong? Also, if you need my plugin.yml as well, tell me, however I feel it would be useless to post it.

Code:java

package me.Monkey_Swag.SimplePots;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class HelpPage extends JavaPlugin{
 
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
 
    String white = ChatColor.WHITE + "";
    String green = ChatColor.GREEN + "";
    String dblue = ChatColor.DARK_BLUE + "";
    String blue = ChatColor.BLUE + "";
 
 
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("SimplePots help") || cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("sp help")) {
        player.sendMessage(dblue + "[" + blue + "SimplePots" + dblue + "]" + green + "-={" + white + "SimplePots Help" + green + "}=-");
 
    }   
 
        return false;
 
}
}
 

 

In

Code:

    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("SimplePots help") || cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("sp help")) {

It can be because of the "SimplePots help". I don't know how to fix that, so I recommend "SimplePots_help" instead. --There will be someone who will tell you how to--

 

exactly! I did another test plugin, and I had to do one word to bring up the help page, it wouldn't work with two!

Yes, but don't make this topic solved. If there is a way to make it so you can do 2 words, then let it unsolved. I had this problem, asking myself "Why is this happening", so I tried multiple things, and this is the reason. Happy to hear your problem is solved for now.

 

Wouldn't work with two words because the second word is and argument if you look the args array at the position 0 you have the second word "help" and your command is "SimplePots"

You seem to have helped me on other things, mind giving me a hand on this? ;D

I am no longer providing my helping services around these forums. I'm still debating on that, but it's likely I won't be helping here again. But since you requested, I'll lend you a hand.

A command is defined as the first word, then an array of arguments follow it. So you really want to check if the command is "SimplePots" or "sp" then check the first argument to see if it's "help". Hint: The arguments are in the String[] you named as "args".

 

The_Doctor_123
So you are saying that I have to check if the first argument is "help" to make this work?
For example:
if(arg1 == help) {
p.sendMessage(bla bla bla);
}
Would that make it work? (Cant test atm b/c I am at school )

 

Check the length of 'args' but yes, if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("help"))..

Do you understand how arrays work?

By the way, the == operator only compares values with primitive types, not objects. Using that operator would check if two references to an object are the same.
