PlayerDeathEvent and PlayerJoinEvent not firing?

So I am developing a plugin for my hardcore pvp server. Whenever you die, you get kicked and whenever you join, you get a custom MoTD depending on whether or not you've joined before. Neither of these events seem to be working, even though I have an @EventHandler.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event){
        Player player = event.getEntity();
        if (!(player.isOp())) {
            broadcast(_format(player.getName() + " has lost all their life!"));
            player.kickPlayer(_format("You lost all your life! You may come back!"));
        }
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if (player.hasPlayedBefore()) {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Welcome to Minedcore, " + player.getName());
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Please read the rules! /rules");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "To see all custom plugins this server runs, type /plugins or /pl");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Make sure not to die! You only have one life!");
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Welcome to Minedcore, a very hardcore survival pvp server!");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Once you die, you get kicked. Don't worry, you can always come back!");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Your health doesn't regen, so make sure you always have Golden Apples or potions on you!");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Please read the rules! /rules");
        }
    }

 

dingus007 Are you registering the events in the onEnable()?

 

No, how do I do that? :O

 

dingus007 If you have your Listener in a different class, in your onEnable() put:

Code:java

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(new ListenerClassName(this), this);

Where ListenerClassName is the name of your Listener class.
If you have it in your main file:

Code:java

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(this, this);

 

What do you mean by

What do you mean by ListenerClass?

What do you mean by ListenerClass?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

dingus007 For example, I put all my Events and Listeners in a class called PlayerListener, so I would put:

Code:

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(new PlayerListener(this), this);

 

BTW, the code pm.registerEvents(new ListenerClassName(this), this); will only work if the constructor of the listener class includes this extra argument like so:
ListenerClassName(MainClassName plugin) { this.plugin = plugin }

of course for this to work, you would need a field in your listener class called plugin.

So if you don't have a constructor like this in your listener class, you would probably register the events like this:

Code:java

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(new ListenerClassName(), this);

 

So would I have to do this?

Code:java

public class MCCore extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 

 

peteyandpika Oh yeah thanks
dingus007 Yes but in your onEnable() you will only put:

Code:java

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(this, this);

 

Ok the implements thing works and the registering events works. Thanks!

 

you are quite welcome my friend

 

dingus007 You are welcomed.
