How to set a players Helmet as a Golden Helmet?

Code:

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("king")){
            if(sender instanceof Player){
                if(!permCheck((Player)sender, "heir.king")){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+ "You do not have Permission.");
                    return true;
                }
            }
           
           
           
           
            Player king = getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
            king.setHelmet(Material.GOLD_HELMET);
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Long live " + king.getName() + "! Long live the new King!");
                    return true;
       
       
        }

Theres an error on setHelmet when I do this. How could I fix it?

 

I think it takes an ItemStack, not a Material. Also, you'll need to use getInventory() before you can use setHelmet()

Code:

king.getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 1));

 

Error- The method setHelmet(ItemStack) in the type PlayerInventory is not applicable for the arguments(ItemStack)

 

It's not getting any errors in my eclipse.

Try making an itemstack object, rather than New ItemStack directly in there

EDIT: That error doesn't even make sense, it says it takes an ItemStack but ItemStack is invalid?

 

Something like this

Code:

ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 1)
 
 
king.getInventory().setHelmet(is);

EDIT : Also make sure u import ItemStack from Bukkit.

 

Code:

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("king")){
            if(sender instanceof Player){
                if(!permCheck((Player)sender, "heir.king")){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+ "You do not have Permission.");
                    return true;
                }
            }
           
           
           
           
            Player king = getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
           
            king.getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 1));
 
 
                    Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Long live " + king.getName() + "! Long live the new King!");
                    return true;
       
       
        }
        

Am I putting it in the wrong spot?

 

Does it throw the same error if you replace

Code:

 king.getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 1));

with

Code:

ItemStack crown = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_HELMET, 1);
king.getInventory().setHelmet(crown);

Also, double check that you've imported ItemStack

 

I imported the minecraft.net ItemStack on accident... I feel like an idiot....
Well thank you a lot!

 

Ah, that makes a lot of sense

 

I was just looking at that and it was just bothering me... declaring an object that is tagged or just initialized as you need it doesn't really make a difference on if the method will take that specific variable or not.
