Issuing Command Only Returns Usage Message

Hello,

I am having an issue with a plugin I am developing. When ever I call the command, it only returns the usage and does not do anything other than this. This is actually an issue I have with all the plugins I am developing.

I'm unfortunately not going to post my code or any snippets of it due to it being closed source prior to release.

Thanks in Advance

 

It's hard to help you when you don't post code... What's your onCommand method and your plugin.yml?

 

ok, as long as no one uses it to copy the mechanics of the plugin...

onCommand():

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String lbl, String[] args) {
        if (sender instanceof Player) {
            if (cmd.equals("cape") ) {
                if ( args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("enable") ) {
                    Cape cape = new Cape((Player)sender, pl); cape.renderCape();
                    pl.getLogger().info("Gave Cape To: " + (Player)sender); return true;
                }
                if ( args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("disable")) {
                    Cape cape = new Cape((Player)sender, pl); cape.removeCape();
                    pl.getLogger().info("Took Cape From: " + (Player)sender); return true;
                }
            }
        }
        else {
            sender.sendMessage("You Must Be a Player To Do That");
            pl.getLogger().info(sender + "Tried Getting A Cape And Failed");
        } return false;
    }

Code:

    public void renderCape() {
        String capeURL = pl.getConfig().getString("capeDir") + player.getDisplayName() + ".png";
        player.setCape(capeURL);
    }
   
    public void removeCape() { player.setCape(null); }

 

plugin.yml? Startup-log?

 

plugin.yml

Code:

name: ServerCapes
main: com.gmail.willies952002.ServerCapes.ServerCapes
version: 0.4a
 
commands:
  cape:
      description: Used to Enable or Disable Player Capes.
      usage: /cape <enable|disable>
      permission: ServerCapes.cape
      permission-message: No Access to This Command;

 

you keep returning false within your command, this means, print out usage message

 

Oh, yeah.
Fail from me not noticing that.

You should return true instead, when the command does stuff. I always let it return true, except for the last return statement right before the bracket.

 

I'm a hardcore survival player!


And you can always remove the usage since most people print their own.

It still will not return true even if told to.

At least the

Code:

if (sender instanceof Player)

works...
