Diablo Styled Weapons?

I recently got stumped while coding something and figure out what to do next. Basically I want to make it so that the plugin reads the lore of the item so if the lore says DMG 100 - 145 that would then be the damage on the item.


So something like this where it says damage 305 - 400 how could I make it so that plugin reads the lore and sets that as the weapon damage.

I think there's a whole work around with getting a substring, after a certain character, that being ":", then replacing "-" characters.

I've been interested in this in the past, and wouldn't mind getting a hang for this, so I'll keep track of this post to see where it goes.

 

This should work (could be slightly optimized with substring I think, but whatever)

Code:java

// Assuming you have a non-null ItemMeta object "itemMeta"
List<String> lore = itemMeta.getLore();
 
// Check each line of the lore
for (String line : lore) {
    // Look for a line that starts with "Damage:"
    if (line.startsWith("Damage:")) {
        // Parse out the two bits of damage. This assumes there are two.
        String[] damageParts = line.replace("Damage:", "").split("-");
        if (damageParts.length == 2) {
            Integer minDamage = Integer.parseInt(damageParts[0].trim());
            Integer maxDamage = Integer.parseInt(damageParts[1].trim());
            // ... do something with these two values
        }
    }
}

Hope that helps! I don't know how to actually do the part where you modify the weapon's damage... :\

arg, mega-edit... wish somebody could make the java syntax tags not blow away indentation!

Now that's impressive!

Always wondered how to do that, now I know!

 

String.split is one of my favorite things, definitely my go-to for parsing. I probably overuse it...

ArrayUtils.join (the opposing method) is also very handy.

PHP made me learn to love such things.

Messing with the strings and whatnot has always hurt my brain personally xD

 

loop through lore lines:
for(String lore : is.getItemMeta().getLore()) {

check if it's damage line:
if(lore.contains("Damage") {

And then get it like:
String damagemin = lore.substring(lore.indexOf(":") +2, lore.indexOf("-") -1);
int i = Integer.parseInt(damagemin);

NOT TESTED! But that would be probably the code to get the min damage

Wouldn't work for color codes, also for setting damage:

Code:java

 
int index = 0;
        ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
        List<String> lorearray = im.getLore();
        for(String lore : lorearray) {
            if(lore.contains("Damage")) {
                   lorearray.set(index, "Damage: 200 - 210" ) // What Ever
                          im.setLore(lorearray);
                           is.setItemMeta(im);
                        }
                index++;
            }
        }
