PotionEffect Errors

Hey,

I am making a plugin that will take the zone a mob spawns in and apply potion effects based on the zone they spawn in.
I am getting a null error that I have been trying to debug but I can't seem to fix it. Any help would be nice.

Here is the Creature Spawn Event which implements other methods.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void creatureSpawnEvent(CreatureSpawnEvent ev) {
        if (isAffectedMob(ev.getEntityType())) {
            int zone = getZoneMobSpawnIn(ev.getEntity());
            addAttributes(ev.getEntity(), zone);
            // ERROR #1
        }                   
    }

The addAttributes method is here.

Code:java

    public void addAttributes(LivingEntity e, int zone) {
            for (int i = 0; i < getConfig().getStringList("zones.zone" + zone + ".attributes").size(); i++) {
                e.addPotionEffect(convertStringToPotion(getConfig().getStringList("zones.zone" + zone + ".attributes").get(i)));
                // ERROR #2
            }
        }    

and the convertStringToPotion method is here.

Code:java

    public PotionEffect convertStringToPotion(String s) {
        if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("none") || s.equalsIgnoreCase(null)) {
            PotionEffect deadPotion = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, 1, 0);
            return deadPotion;
        }
        else {
            //ERROR #3
            PotionEffect potion = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.getByName(s), 10000, 1);
            return potion;
        }
    }

and this is the error.

Code:

I tried adding code to detect if the zone is not supposed to have any potions added to the mobs and then add a dead potion that only lasts for 1 second, still doesn't work :/
Thanks in advance.

 

This is caused because as it claims your effect type is null..

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: effect type cannot be null

Yeah I see that, that's why I added the check in the convertStringToPotion method that checks to see if the string is "none" or null and then just proceeds with a dead potion. But it never works.

 

I believe it's also case sensitive soo make sure it's exactly the right type... If it is FIRE_RESISTANCE try to use .touppercase on the name string.

Also at your last code instead of by name isn't it value of (string)

Birdgeek3 SysOut the type, see what it is, and see if its what you expect it to be.

 

It says the correct things, just doesn't get converted... >.<
