How do I add permissions to my Bukkit plugin.

Hello! My name is Michael and I am wondering how to add permissions to my Bukkit plugin. It is called Spawn2Hub and I already have the config created. I have looked all over YouTube but have no success please help me. (I'm not a pro at coding )

Maybe you should look all over youtube again:

 

Yeah but those videos are outdated. I'm on 1.7.9 and I don't know what verison they're running

 

MichaelDoesPlugins
Have you tried them?

 

Mrawesomecookie Yes and they have not worked for me

 

Linking to TheBCBroz is the worst idea as they teach bad coding habits.

 

iiHeroo Sooooo true

 

MichaelDoesPlugins iiHeroo
I know, but at least it has the basics.
Just because you don't have the same minecraft version doesn't mean the same method won't work.

 

Mrawesomecookie I believe that outdated verisons won't work on the newer verisons

 

Your beliefs are somewhat run.

NMS breaks each update, pretty sure Pogo and BCBroz don't use it that much so it won't make a big impact. Some methods get deprecated, but usually there's another method to replace it.

I wasn't talking about CraftBukkit. The question is "How do I add permissions to my bukkit plugin".

 

iiHeroo I was trying to look for a UPDATED verison of one. Also Pogo has a MAC and I use a PC and I think that MAC verison is different from PC

Mrawesomecookie If you want me to I'll add my code.

Ok, you can add your code, but I would rather not spoofeed you. There isn't a different version of bukkit based on operating system.

 

I think there's over 1500 versions of Bukkit...

Sure, but all you need to do for example:

//Runs command "fly"
//Has Permission "fly.fly"
//Allow player to fly
//Else
//No perm

To check if a player has that permission is Player#hasPermission(String)

 

MichaelDoesPlugins
Are you sure you tried them?

Post what have you tried so far.

 

Mrawesomecookie package me.XxMarioPlaysxX.Spawn2Hub;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
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 Main extends JavaPlugin{

public void onEnable() {
getLogger().info("Spawn2Hub has been Enabled!");
}

public void onDisable() {
getLogger().info("Spawn2Hub has been Disabled!");
}

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
if(sender instanceof Player) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("hub")){
String hub = "spawn " + player.getName();
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), hub);
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "Returning back to Spawn!");

}
}
return false;
}
}

Gater12 I just posted my code

Ok, watch what it says in Pogo's video. It works. Just try it.

 

MichaelDoesPlugins
I do not see a way you are incorporating permission checking in your code.

A much more easier built-in permission checking would be to register permission nodes in the plugin.yml, and assign the permission node to the command.

Refer to this page: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML

 

Gater12
True, but that doesn't work if you have multiple subcommands in a command.

 

Gater12 I'm confused

 

Mrawesomecookie
In this case, it is for just a base command.
hasPermission is used for that purpose to check permissions for subcommands, other events, etc.

MichaelDoesPlugins
Example plugin.yml:

Code:

name: Test
main: me.gater12.testplugin.Main
version 0.6.9
commands:
  fly:
    description: Fly command!
    permission: test.fly
    permission-message: You do not have permission
permissions:
  test.fly:
    description: Permission node to fly
    default: op

 

Gater12
Yeah, he could have figured it out for himself though. I don't like to spoonfeed people code.

 

Gater12 Do I need to put that in my plugin.yml

 

MichaelDoesPlugins yes you need to put that in your plugin.yml.. Also for permissions have you tried doing

Code:

Player player = (Player)sender;
if(player.hasPermission("hub.use")
{
  if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("hub")
  {
    String hub = "Spawn " + player.getName();
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), hub);
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "Returning back to Spawn!");

and maybe you should trying use UUID's instead. Since i havnt made a plugin for 1.7.9 yet i have no clue if things actually changed from previous versions(1.6, ... 1.7.2, 1.7.4, 1.7.5)

 

mactown21
Where would UUID be present for permission checking?

 

mactown21 I'm still confusing

 

MichaelDoesPlugins
First off,

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
    getLogger().info("Spawn2Hub has been Enabled!");
}
 
public void onDisable() {
    getLogger().info("Spawn2Hub has been Disabled!");
}
 

This is unecessary. Bukkit nowadays automatically writes those messages.

You only need to register your command under the commands section of the plugin.yml. You are not required to put your permissions there.

I suggest you read about the CommandSender in the documentation. I guarantee you that it's not out of date.
http://jd.bukkit.org/beta/doxygen/dd/dd4/interfaceorg_1_1bukkit_1_1command_1_1CommandSender.html.

Also, (sorry I can't edit my above message for some reason...),
You can use the plugin.yml to handle your permissions for you, but that hinders the amount of control you have over your plugin, so I tend to avoid that (but that's just me...)

Also, I guess this is an anti-spoon feeding bandwagon, but that's ok. You can have the extensive bukkit plugin tutorial spoon feed it for you (http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Permissions).

I think you should do some more reading, this is pretty basic concept in bukkit:
