Do you even know Java yet?

 

The commands for some reason are not registering, My plugin.yml seems to have no problem as the plugin works but the commands don't seem to heres my code, and please explain since I still have a lot to learn in java but im no noob

Code:

package me.BuissnessMonkey.gtb;
 
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 {
   
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
       
    }
   
    @Override
   
    public void onDisable(){
       
    }
   
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String args[]){
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)){
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Only players may execute this!");
            return true;
        }
        Player p = (Player) sender;
       
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("gtbcreate")){
            ArenaManager.getManager().createArena(p.getLocation());
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Created a gtb arena at" + p.getLocation().toString());
            return true;
        }
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("gtbjoin")){
            if(args.length !=1){
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "insuffcient arguments");
                return true;
            }
            int num = 0;
            try{
                num = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
            }catch(NumberFormatException e){
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Invalid Arena ID");
            }
            ArenaManager.getManager().addPlayer(p,  num);
           
            return true;
               
            }
        if(cmd.getName().equals("gtbleave")){
            ArenaManager.getManager().removePlayer(p);
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "You have left the arena");
           
            return true;
        }
        int num = 0;
        try{
            num = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        }catch(NumberFormatException e){
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Invalid arena ID");
           
        }
        ArenaManager.getManager().removeArena(num);
       
        return true;
       
 
       
    }
   
 
}

Java4Monkeys
Post plugin.yml

 

Here it is

Code:

name: GrandTheftBlocks
version: 1.1
main: me.BuissnessMonkey.gtb.Main
author: BuissnessMonkey
description: a Gtb plugin.
commands:
gtbcreate:
    description: create an arena.
    usage: /<command> [id]
    default: op
gtbjoin:
    description: join an arena.
    usage: /<command> [id]
    default: op
gtbleave:
    description: leave an arena.
    usage: /<command. [id]
    default: op

 

Java4Monkeys
Indent each command entry

 

What does indent mean, sorry I don't know

 

Java4Monkeys
Add spaces

 

Thank you xTrollxDudex , Much appreciated <3

 

Thanks for the help

 

I keep getting an NPE at

Code:java

ArenaManager.getManager().createArena(p.getLocation());

Have you saved your config?

 

I had a config and had it saved, let me try again.

Yeah I have the config generated, and I only put a comment in it. Was there supposed to be something else in it? I thought that it should have had the "Arenas" in it but it doesn't. I have the code as shown on the tutorial.

Giraffeknee
Use the GitHub one. The actual tutorial is just a frame to build your minigame off of.

 

I did, I guess I'll look over everything. Thanks for the replies though !

EDIT: It works, thanks man.

ps: Great tutorial

 

Everytime I start the server it seems to generate a "-1" in the Arenas.Arenas path in the config, I looked through the code and I didn't seem to find that anywhere (like the loadGames() method, my config, or the onEnable/Disable() methods). Do you know if that was anywhere in the code? I also seem to have an issue with the removeArena() method, when I try to remove that arena that generates when the server starts it always gives an internal error.
Oh and I know this has been talked about but I'd like to see an example of how you would add multiple spawns, I understand you could add the spawn fields but I'd like to know how you'd randomize the player being teleported to the one of the spawns on addPlayer(a.spawn#), and how would you decide whether or not spawn# is occupied.

 

Giraffeknee
Use your own implementation wrapper for a dpawn and a boolean and occupy when a player is teleported to the spawn. Loop through a list of them an make sure the boolean is false before teleporting to the location.

Post stacktrace for the internal error.

Is -1 a negative or an entry to the list?

If you don't know what I mean by these, I suggest you learn Java.

 

Here is the stacktrace error: http://pastebin.com/kGEx88Lb. By the way I'm running the command /bt(my command) remove 3. The arena's number id is 3. -1 is an entry to the list.
Thanks for the spawns advice.

 

Giraffeknee
That isn't the full stacktrace.

 

Sorry, let me get it. There: http://pastebin.com/Bj2bY521, that is the full stacktrace.

 

Giraffeknee
Lets see the code now.

 

Alright.
ArenaManager: http://pastebin.com/cQqki1xj
Arena: http://pastebin.com/QLxd8wf8
Main Class: http://pastebin.com/4Dmn2K9n

 

Giraffeknee
Remove the bottom part of your remove command, the method fromthe manaer already removes the arena for you, your don't need to remove it twice.

 

Alright, thanks.

 

It still didn't work, has this happened to anyone else?
If I was unclear the first time what I mean is it generates a "-1" in the config's arena list after the first arena is created but after that arena is removed, the number stays there. That sets me back to zero arenas, but when I create another it adds a "-1" to the arena list in the config again. Sorry to be a nuisance but this is somewhat frustrating as it should be removing that "-1".

 

Giraffeknee
Manually remove it.

 

Haha, I've done that. Like I said when I create an arena, and lets say it is the only arena (so it is arena "1"), it just does it again and adds the "-1" to the arena list in the config. It won't remove when I remove the arena in game, the arena along with it's information removes, but the arena's id does not remove from the list.

 

Giraffeknee
By the way, I never subtracted the arenaSize when I remove the arena. You may want to take a look at that section again.

 

xTrollxDudex, how would I make multiple spawns like survival games? Like I want to be able to set as many as I want then tp people accordingly. It has been a real hassle for me..

Store location list. Store int with default value 0. Add spawns to list. Tp player to the get(int) from the list. Increment int.
