Solved getLore()

I'm having some trouble with trying to get the lore of an item, then checking if its the same as "Wither".
If the lore is "Wither", then do something to the victim, kind of like custom enchantments.

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onAttack(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
        if(e.getDamager() instanceof Player){
            Player attacker = (Player) e.getDamager();
            if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player){
                Player victim = (Player) e.getEntity();
 
                if(attacker.getInventory().getItemInHand().hasItemMeta()){
                    if(attacker.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().hasLore()){
                        if(attacker.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getLore().equals("Wither")){
                            //do stuff to the "victim"
                        }
                    }
                }
 
            }
        }
    }

I also tried getLore().contains("Wither"), but no luck with that either.

I registered the events.

There are no errors in the console.

The plugin.yml is working.

And the item I'm using has the lore "Wither" on it.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thats not how a lore works, a lore is stored as an array list

 

How would I check if "Wither" is in the lore?

 

Mjhurtado1 your contains("Wither") check should already do that. Post the code that creates the ItemStack.

 

The item is the item that is in the players hand.

 

You have to set the lore of the ItemStack. Post the code that adds "Wither" to the lore.

 

Here it is:

Code:java

if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("wither")){
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            ItemStack item = p.getInventory().getItemInHand();
            ItemMeta itemmeta = item.getItemMeta();
            ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
            lore.add("Wither");
            itemmeta.setLore(lore);
            item.setItemMeta(itemmeta);
        }

That works. and it shows up on the item. (Its just used for testing)

 

Mjhurtado1 In your OP, your if statement is basically saying if the player's item in hand's lore is equal to "Wither". Even though the lore is an ArrayList. Strings are not ArrayLists. ArrayList does have a helpful method called .contains() though.

ah, ok thanks!

 

He also stated that he tried contains("Wither")
