Solved When Custom Events are Called?

Hey guys, I've worked with events before but never in Bukkit. I understand handlers and registering them but what I don't understand is how to "call" an event in bukkit and/or choose when the handlers are notified an event has occurred.

My current code:

PortalEvent:

Code:java

package me.JBoss925.Portal.Listener;
 
import me.JBoss925.Portal.Portal;
import org.bukkit.event.Event;
 
public abstract class PortalEvent extends Event {
 
    protected Portal portal;
 
    public PortalEvent(Portal portal, boolean async){
        super(async);
        this.portal = portal;
    }
 
    public final Portal getPortal(){
        return this.portal;
    }
 
}

PortalTeleportEvent:

Code:java

package me.JBoss925.Portal.Listener.Events;
 
import me.JBoss925.Portal.Listener.PortalEvent;
import me.JBoss925.Portal.Portal;
import org.bukkit.event.HandlerList;
 
public class PortalTeleportEvent extends PortalEvent {
    private static final HandlerList handlers = new HandlerList();
 
    public PortalTeleportEvent(final Portal portalUsed){
        super(portalUsed, false);
    }
 
 
    @Override
    public HandlerList getHandlers() {
        return handlers;
    }
 
}

 

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(event);

Have you checked out the bukkit wiki yet?
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Event_API_Reference#Creating_Custom_Events

 

Your events are not fully defined, you need to read the wiki as br456 pointed out.

 

What do you mean? They're defined? I'm using a parent portal event that extends Event if that's what you're speaking to.

 

There are more requirements to make an event than just to extend an event class. Read the wiki tutorial - you need the static and non-static functions to get the handler list for your event specifically.

 

Oh, I gotcha. Fixed.
