Help plz with 2 plugins I'm making!

well hello, I'm making 2 plugins, called BossBarMessage and Comments. Comments, when you do /positive it sends you a positive comment, /negative is the opposite. /random sends you a random comment, and /comments gives you the comments help. Code:

package com.Zach.Comments;



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 Comments extends JavaPlugin {



@Override

public void onEnable() {

getLogger().info("Comments Commenting!");

getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

saveConfig();

}



@Override

public void onDisable() {

getLogger().info("Comments Sucessfully Disabled!");

saveConfig();

}





public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String Label, String[] args) {



if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("positive") && sender instanceof Player) {

if(getConfig().getStringList("Positive").isEmpty()) {

sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Sorry, there are no positive comments! Please alert a staff member!");

}



}

returnfalse;



}

}

config:

#Config.yml for Comments!
#In Positive, add comments you want for /positive. For /negative, do the same, and for
#random, you can add positive and negative comments!
Positive:

Negative:

Random:


plugin.yml:

name: Comments
main: com.Zach.Comments.Comments
version: 1.0
description: Do /negative or /positive to figure out what this plugin does!
commands:
Positive:
description: Sends the user a positive comment!
Negative:
description: Sends the user a negative comment!
Random:
description: Sends the user a random comment, either posotive or negative!
Comments:
description: Commands for the plugin Comments!

my problem for comments is i don't know how to hook up making it say one of the random comments listed in the config... I'm new to this plz help

as for bossbarmessage, heres the code:

package com.Zach.BossBarMessage;

import me.confuser.barapi.BarAPI;

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 BossBarMessage extends JavaPlugin {

@Override
public void onEnable() {
getLogger().info("BossBarMessage Enabled Successfully");
}

@Override
public void onDisable() {
getLogger().info("BossBarMessage Sucessfully Disabled!");
}


public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String Label, String[] args) {

if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bossbar help") && sender instanceof Player); {

Player player = (Player) sender;
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "BossBarMessage Help:");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "/BossBar = displays the BossBarMessage Help");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "/BossBar help = displays the BossBarMessage Help");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "/BossBar disable = Disables the display of the BossBarMessage for you");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "/BossBar enable = Enables the display of the BossBarMessage for you");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Note: The default is set to the bossbar is enabled for everyone");


}else if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bossbar disable") && sender instanceof Player) {
if (BarAPI.hasBar((Player) sender)); {
BarAPI.removeBar((Player) sender); }
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "Disabled the bossbar!");
while (BarAPI.hasBar((Player) sender) == false);
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "You already have the bossbar off!");


}else if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bossbar enable") && sender instanceof Player) {

if (BarAPI.hasBar((Player) sender));
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "You already have the bar on!");
while (BarAPI.hasBar((Player) sender) == false); {
BarAPI.setMessage((Player) sender, Label, 75f);
}

}
return false;
}
}

plugin.yml:

my problem with this is 1. the bossbar doesn't come up, 2. when i do /bossbar enable the bossbar menu comes up, 3. I'm not sure how to disable and enable the bossbar... and 4. I'm not sure if what i did is right... 5. i don't know how to change the bossbar by doing a command... plz help... i know I'm asking a lot but I'm not sure what to do I'm stumped.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

This is all kinda confusing, please use the insert code button near the save button up top when posting, so it looks like this:

Code:

This is what it is supposed to look like!:)

 

@Randomguy

Using the

Code:

Java code tag!!!!!!

will be even more readable.
I didn't even look at your code tbh because it's annoying to read.

 

(on a different note if you have two separate issues then that warrants two separate threads/topics).

 

sorry... ill repost it...

how do i do this? i don't get it... is it the use bb code editor?

how do i do this?

ill start another thread for the other plugin I'm making... because there 2 different topics...

heres a link to the other thread...

http://bukkit.org/threads/bossbarmessage-plugin-with-barapi.339948/

 

@Randomguy
You have not even added any Strings too the list...

 

again... sorry kinda new to this...

why would i need strings? again new to this....

and btw can i see code? I'm better when someone shows me how to do it than tells me

<Edited by bwfcwalshy: Merged posts, please use the edit button rather than double posting.>

 

@Randomguy No one will spoonfeed you hence @CraftCreeper6's profile picture. He has stated it pretty clear, you haven't added anything to your list.

 

ok... but i don't understand where he means that... where do i add strings?

 

@Randomguy
You need to add some Strings to your list or it wont send you any messages...

 

Just going to point this out, but your wrong. You do not learn better when you are handed the code. You may get whatever your doing done faster, but you will not learn anything and you will be crawling back with more issues in the future.

 

ok... I'm just saying when i look at it i usually understand it and remember it for next time...

 

@Randomguy
That's not how the brain works. Have you ever been told to revise for a test? I am sure you have. The teacher usually gives tips. E.G: Write the things you really need to learn a few times and try remember it. You cannot just look at something and remember it unless you have a photographic memory... Only around 3 people on the planet have a photographic memory.

 

Use a hashmap and loop through the sentances or comments. Also please use the "Code" section to insert your JavaScripts and code

 

@Lewishjames
HashMaps wont survive over reloads / shutdowns.

 

@CraftCreeper6 Well then he will just have to state the sentences and then loop through them.

 

@Lewishjames
He wants to use configuration. (Don't get off-topic).

 

what i mean is i comment what it does and look back to it if i need to

you know what... I'm not going to argue right now... the arguing gets us knowhere

<Edited by bwfcwalshy: Merged posts, please use the edit button rather than double posting.>

 

Oh well you would have to read through the configuration file. If you don't know how to use configs properly its one of the most basic things to start off with. I suggest use BcBROZ of pogostick29Dev's channel.

 

@Lewishjames
Neither, Bukkit wiki, YouTube videos contain many bad habits. Like; Lazy access and incorrectly named methods.


@Randomguy
Here.

 

i use stormcorefilms, bcbroz, and voidnationmc

thanks!

<Edited by bwfcwalshy: Merged posts, please use the edit button rather than double posting.>

 

I'm so sorry.

 

@Randomguy I started the same as you almost 3 years ago. I too found the BCBroz and preferred code examples. I had to be taken to a dark place with lots of statics to get those bad habits ironed out. Take it from me to stop watching bukkit tutorials on youtube. Go check out thenewboston if you need visual learning for Java. As for bukkit, well if you know Java you wont need to learn bukkit. You will only need to reference the bukkit documentation and the wiki to find what you need.

 

ok, thanks for that!

 

but can we get back to the question at hand, how to i connect the broadcasting the messages to the string list, and how do i make it random... is it like this?

Code:

        public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String Label, String[] args) {
           
            if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Positive") && sender instanceof Player) {
                if(getConfig().getStringList("Positive").isEmpty()) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Sorry, there are no positive comments! Please alert a staff member!");
                }
                if(getConfig().getStringList("Positive").isEmpty() == false);
                getConfig().getStringList("Positive");
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "" + getConfig().getStringList("Positive"));

or would you do some random generating thing outside the sender.sendmessage?

 

plz help... I'm stumped...

 

Maybe learn java first....
Also, forum formatting exists for a reason.

im dead LOL
