Making a player's "helmet" a certain player's head?

How to do I set a player's "helmet" to be another player's head? I tried the following, but it gave me a skeleton skull as my head:

Code:

ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM);
                    SkullMeta meta3 = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
                    meta3.setOwner("garrett2smart87");
                    skull.setItemMeta(meta3);
                    player.getInventory().setHelmet(skull);

Don't know why this is necessary, nor did I want to do this, but here.

Code:

package me.C0nsole.BeSuperman;
 
 
import org.bukkit.Color;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.PlayerInventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.LeatherArmorMeta;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.SkullMeta;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class BeSuperman extends JavaPlugin{
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        System.out.println("[BeSuperman] v1.0 has been disabled.");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        System.out.println("[BeSuperman] v1.0 has been enabled.");
    }
   
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandlabel, String [] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(commandlabel.equalsIgnoreCase("supermanon")){
            if(player.hasPermission("superman.use")){
                player.setMaxHealth(100);
                Inventory inv = player.getInventory();
                if(inv instanceof PlayerInventory){
                    ItemStack boots = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS);
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) boots.getItemMeta();
                    meta.setColor(Color.RED);
                    boots.setItemMeta(meta);
                    player.getInventory().setBoots(boots);
                    ItemStack pants = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_LEGGINGS);
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta1 = (LeatherArmorMeta) pants.getItemMeta();
                    meta1.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                    pants.setItemMeta(meta1);
                    player.getInventory().setLeggings(pants);
                    ItemStack shirt = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE);
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta2 = (LeatherArmorMeta) shirt.getItemMeta();
                    meta2.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                    shirt.setItemMeta(meta2);
                    player.getInventory().setChestplate(shirt);
                    ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM);
                    SkullMeta meta3 = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
                    meta3.setOwner("garrett2smart87");
                    skull.setItemMeta(meta3);
                    player.getInventory().setHelmet(skull);
                    }
                player.setAllowFlight(true);
                player.setFlying(true);
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

 

I was making sure that it didn't have to do with other code and i don't know whats going on sorry, You can edit that reply if you dont want anyone to see your code, but this section noone should.

See if this helps

ItemStack:

Code:

SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta)skullStack.getItemMeta();
meta.setOwner("Fireblast709");
skullStack.setItemMeta(meta);

Skull block:

Code:

org.bukkit.block.Skull skull = (org.bukkit.block.Skull)skullBlock.getState();
skull.setSkullType(SkullType.PLAYER);
skull.setOwner("Fireblast709");
skull.update();

I don't think this matters but in your code

Code:

SkullMeta meta3 = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();

is there suppose to be a space after the ) in skullmeta. Or does it need to be this

Code:

SkullMeta meta3 = (SkullMeta)skull.getItemMeta();

I know i'm posting a lot but i'm trying to help. Here is another function that might work if you implement it some how.

Code:

 private ItemStack playerSkullForName(String name)
  {
    ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1);
    is.setDurability((short)3);
    SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta)is.getItemMeta();
    meta.setOwner(name);
    is.setItemMeta(meta);
    return is;
  }

Have to go right now but will try this at some point tomorrow and get back to you with results. Thanks!

FuZioN720
I got it working, but I'm not sure it's what you said. It was this,

Code:

            ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(397, 1, (short) 3);
                     SkullMeta meta3 = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
                     meta3.setOwner("garrett2smart87");
                     skull.setItemMeta(meta3);
                     player.getInventory().setHelmet(skull);

Well if it was or not congrats on the achievement

 

FuZioN720 C0nsole Is there any way to use the code above, but make it so that it's a command such as /head <player> <head name> so that when HeroOfTime500 types /head WolfLeader116 Notch for example, I get Notch's head in my head slot? So I could do /head Notch Dinnerbone and then Notch would have Dinnerbone's head in his head slot.

 

WolfLeader116
1. This thread is a year old.
2. Yes, of course there is. Make a command in which you spawn a head item, set the meta, and put it on the player's head.

 

Garris0n
1. I know that this thread is a year old, but it would be useless to make another thread when I could just use this to ask because it is very related.
2. That does not exactly answer my question about making a command that puts a certain specified head on a specified player.

 

WolfLeader116
That precisely answers your question. Maybe not with an example, but he said 'Of course there is' to 'Is there a way to', which is perfectly valid. In any case, what Garris0n is saying is right.

 

You asked if it could be done. I said yes. That answered your question. I'm not going to write the code for you. If you can't do it, start with something simpler.
