Using a 'getter' from another class.

Hey there

So inside my main class I have a pretty simple 'getter' function.

boolean HasBegun = false;

public boolean GetHasBegun()
{
return HasBegun;
}

How would I use this function inside another class? The main class is called battledome

BattleDome.GetHasBegun(); doesn't work

 

You need to set your methods to static, like this:

Code:

static boolean HasBegun = false;
 
public static boolean GetHasBegun()
{
return HasBegun;
}

And then

Code:

BattleDome.GetHasBegun();

Should works.

 

The method doesn't have to be static.
One way of doing this is by passing your main class to the other class when declaring it:

Code:

private final YOURCLASS variablename = new YOURCLASS(this);

and the constructor of "YOURCLASS":

Code:

    public YOURCLASS(BattleDome plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }

If you've done that you should be able to use any public methods inside your main class like this:

Code:

plugin.getHasBegun();
