Scoreboard help?

Hi there!

I just really can't seem to crack the error in my scoreboard. If I could have a small part of code as an example. that would be great. Thankyou

 

Would help if you told us what you want to do and what the error is.

 

No stacktrace etc... it just doesn't load I think I am way off what it should be so it would be pointless to put my code in here.

 

If you have read the plugin tutorial, you should be able to set up a basic plugin.
From that point on, we can help you if there are specific errors or questions.

 

CubieX I know how to code properly... I am just terrible at setting scoreboards.

 

Then please show us you code and tell us what you are trying to do.
How in heaven should we otherwise know what's wrong?

 

I did state what is wrong. I said I can't add the scoreboard to the player onPlayerJoinEvent. I put the methods in there but it still won't work. The event is registered etc...

And all I need is a code example...

coobro123 are you having trouble with PlayerJoinEvent? Post your code. If you are having trouble with scoreboards, check this out: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-scoreboards-teams-with-the-bukkit-api.139655/

 

chasechocolate I did check that. Do u mind a small code example than I can use the method on my PlayerJoinEvent

 

coobro123
Did you even read the topic?
Also, no one's going to feed you code.

 

Rprrr I don't steal code... I just need an example and what do u mean by read the topic. I made this post.

 

coobro123 Dude, What is so hard about showing us your code? Then we can help you.

 

coobro123 If you show us the code, only then will someone be able to make an example out of it. If you want help, post your code, regardless if it works or is by far the worst code ever but sort of makes sense. Just post the code you have...

 

I think the issue here may be that the OP has little to no code at all, and is simply asking for code. Actually, chasechocolate gave you a thread with examples and all the code you will need. If you don't understand this, perhaps you should learn some more Java and play with smaller plugins for a while.

 

a snippet from 1 of my plugins, hopefully it will help you:

Code:

public void displayStats(Player p, String pname) {
   
        User user = MercilessPvp.playerdata.get(pname);
 
        ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
        Scoreboard sb = manager.getNewScoreboard();//create an empty scoreboard
 
        Objective stats = sb.registerNewObjective("Stats", "dummy");// create new scoreboard objective.
        stats.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR); //sets where scores are to be displayed
        stats.setDisplayName("Stats"); // sets the name for the objective (top of sb)
 
        Score rank = stats.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("Rank:")); //Get a fake offline player       
        Score mp = stats.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("Mp:"));
        Score money = stats.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("Money:"));
   
        rank.setScore(user.getRank());// set score value
        mp.setScore(user.getMp());
        money.setScore(user.getMoney().intValue());
           
        p.setScoreboard(manager.getNewScoreboard());
        p.setScoreboard(sb); //displays scoreboard
        }

Why u all got to be so bitchy, this aint a competition. I learnt most of what i know from looking at other peoples code. Lets try being a little more helpful even if you dont agree with thier choice of learning technique. If you dont want to be helpful, dont come here.

 

the_merciless Isn't that pretty mush exactly what was said in ChaseChocolate's thread?

 

So it is. I never looked. That must of been where I learnt it.

 

Ok, I have a diferent error now. And I can code its just that my code was way off... Me being bad at one thing in bukkit doesn't make me terrible. Its just one of those things I can't crack. Anyway, I know how to set it up now etc... But when I set it up onPlayerJoin it just isn't loading up. I tried making a command that gives me the scoreboard, and i also tried then dispatching it. onplayerjoin but still didn't work. The Event works, and the command works, i also tried a delayed and didn't work. no idea what is wrong here is the code i use to set it up.

Code:

public static void ShowScoreboard(Player player) {
   
        ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
        Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
        Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("test", "dummy");
        objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
        objective.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "Points");
        objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
        org.bukkit.scoreboard.Score kills = objective.getScore(Bukkit
                .getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GREEN + "Balance:"));
       
            kills.setScore(((int)Economy.getAmount(player)));
       
            org.bukkit.scoreboard.Score deaths = objective.getScore(Bukkit
                    .getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.GREEN + "Kills:"));
                  deaths.setScore(Stats.getKills(player));
        player.setScoreboard(board);
    }

 

You can't set it below display name and on the side. Scoreboards under the display name will only use 1 score.

You can't use economy.getBalance unless you have hooked vault.

Before you set a new scoreboard you must first remove the 1 they already have. Notice how on my code I set them a new (blank) scoreboard (this will remove anyscoreboard they have displyed) before displaying the 1 I want them to see.

You need to store the players kills/deaths somewhere yourself and then get that value to set the scores.

Make sure you read through the links you have been given, and try to understand it as best you can. Copy and pasting it will get you know where.

 

the_merciless The Economy.getBalance is my own code. lol, I made my own economy

EDIT: Thanks heaps merciless c;

 

Ok so where are your errors. You don't need to dispatch a command when a player joins. Just call this method and pass the player in to it

 

Also you said that onPlayerJoin isn't working. Mind posting the code for that, too?

 

Code:

    @EventHandler
    void playerJoin (PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
        if (p.hasPermission("testing")) {
            displayStats(p);
        }
    }

 

Get rid of the if(p.hasPermission("testing"))
if it displays properly then it is the permission stuff. if not then post your scoreboard code and your main method code the one that extends JavaPlugin

 

This thread is a year old...

 

Yea I realized that a few minutes after I posted that.
