Regarding Multiple Classes

Hello,

Just a question on using multiple classes, scenario:

Now i have a plugin, which sends the player a message on join. I have 3 classes (MainClass,ListenerClass,UtilClass). When the player joins a event in ListenerClass fires, which is something like this:

UtilClass.test(p);

UtilClass.test checks p against a config setting and then sends p the config message.

My question, what is the way to do this. I have had some issues and i can't find any documentation on it (Something to do with plugin always returning null). Thanks.

Bump

construct your classes, its easier than using static
like, in the main class:
UtilClass utlclass = new UtilClass(this);
then make a method return that, so youcan use it in your listener
like main.getUtilClass().test(p);

 

I..half get it?

 

UtilClass:

Code:JAVA

 
<MainClassName> plugin;
public <ClassName>(<MainClassName> plugin) {
// This is called a constructor
this.plugin = plugin;
}
 

MainClass

Code:JAVA

 
<UtilClass> util = new <UtilClass>(this);
 

 

That's what i have..

public class TSUtil {
TSPlugin plugin;
public TSUtil(TSPlugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
}


public String test(Player p)
{
String value = p.getName();

return value;
}
}

 

You never initialized TSPlugin ?

 

What do you mean? o.o

 

Code:java

 
public class TSUtil {
    private TSPlugin plugin;
    public TSUtil(TSPlugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
    public String test(Player p) {
        return p.getName();
    }
}
 

Code:java

 
public class TSPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    public TSUtil util;
    // In the onEnable Make sure to put "util = new TSUtil(this);" register the listener with "new TSListener(this)"
}
 

Code:java

 
public class TSListener implements Listener {
    private TSPlugin plugin;
    public TSListener(TSPlugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
 
   /* EVENT:
   plugin.util.test(player);
   */
}
 

 

Thanks keto! Works like a charm.
