Error

Hey guys! I am currently making a custom FAQ plugin for my server and it was going perfect until I hit the item box GUI. Well, I hit that and this happened: http://hastebin.com/tukofepoxi.avrasm <--Look at line 62. On ItemStack ITEM <-it shows an error in Eclipse saying: Duplicate local variable item. Well, what do I do? I am sorry for so many issues. I started Java Saturday. Just a beginner.

Never mind that. Fixed. How do I fix something when it says: Duplicate local variable lore (example)? I have had this happen various times.

*Bump*

It Means there's a duplicate value somewhere else in your code

 

What if I actually want it like that?

 

No it doesn't, that means there are duplicate variable names in the same method|constructor body contained within the same code block or a code block and a nested block within that.

You can't have duplicate local variable names, that's not how programming languages work

You forgot to check if the sender Player

 

So what would be the correct way? Polaris29

 

Well, if duplicate variable names is what your problem is, then just rename one of them.

 

I did so: http://pastebin.com/x5Wbt0JR but now the Iron Sword doesn't show on the second box and the Zombie Head isn't named MC-IF. Neither does it say Custom and MCInfected. Did I do something wrong? Thanks.

 

boogagoal1 I think you have to re set the item's meta with item.setMeta(itemMeta); and also, you're adding the iron sword to the player's inventory, not the custom inventory

 

So between what lines do I add item.setMeta(itemMeta) or where?

 

boogagoal1 After you're done doing stuff with the item's meta

 

Uh... I don't know... I actually was just given this code and don't understand it. The itembox GUI. Can you add me on Skype at "ethan.fine1" please? I'd really appreciate it.

 

boogagoal1 You would just do something like this:

Code:java

 
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1, (byte)2 );
// Get the meta
ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();
// Do stuff to the meta
itemMeta.setDisplayName("MC-IF");
List <String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
lore.add("Custom");
lore.add("MCInfected");
itemMeta.setLore(lore);
// Set the meta once your done doing stuff to it
item.setMeta(itemMeta); // Might be setItemMeta
