Solved Command Arguments

Hello i am creating a plugin where you can give player a amount of "keys" with a command
but how can i do that please help

main class:
http://pastebin.com/pTz9juqN




sorry for bad english

 

the arguments how many "keys " and the arguments to send it to that player

 

After skimming your code, "MyAPI" is never imported or declared and you're statically referencing it.

Edit: After you posted later I see that "MyAPI" is in the same package. My mistake.

 

@DaanSander
Alright, so that code is almost completely wrong.

You're adding a statement which is checking if it's a certain command then you're saying else if it's not that command do this.

Start off with something like this,

Code:

if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("test") {
               if (args.length == 1) {
                        p.sendMessage("First argument");
} else if (args.length ==2) {
                  p.sendMessage("Second argument");
}
}

 

Thx i have 1 question left how can i use the second argument to add "keys" what i put in the second argument

Code:

Player target = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(args[0]);
                MyAPI.giveKeys(target, args[1]);
                target.sendMessage(args[1] + "§2Keys has been added to your account!");

yes i tried this but it wont work

@DaanSander
I really don't know what you mean by "keys". You're code is really unclear and messy. Sorry I can't help unless you give me a better definition or some code that keys is.

 

Keys is a interger stored in another class
I got 2 interger keys and silver


API class:

@DaanSander
I don't really understand the question, but as far as I can tell, you would want to do:

Code:

if (args.length == 2) {
MyAPI.giveKeys(p, amount);
}

 

what i mean is on that command give keys to the target argument 0 and ammount arg 1 so if do the command like
test DaanSander 12 it would send the player 12 keys

the method givekeys(Player, int) int the type MyAPI is not applicable for the arguments (Player, String)

thats the error that i get

so what do i have to do then?

 

how can i do that??

 

@DaanSander If you still can't figure it out, here's a hint: Think about Integers... how would one parse an int from a String?

 

yes

The only thing what i want is just when i type the command
/test DaanSander 10
it would give the player 10 keys

converting string to int when specifying itemid
videos about arguments
javadoc
php videos

 

I finaly found a website how to do that its says

In Java, i use this:
String PixelBreite = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"PixelBreite eingeben: " , "PixelBreite");
x = Integer.parseInt(PixelBreite);

That works perfectly in java, but when i would do the same thing in Bukkit, like:
String amount = args[0];
x = Integer.parseInt(amount)

But i dont really get how to use this:

String amount = args[0]
x = Integer.parseInt(amount)

 

I'm not sure how these were really meant to find what you were looking for - the javadoc search was probably the closest of these to finding a meaningful result, but the problem with them is that you need to know roughly what it is you're looking for before you're able to find it.

I see what your logic was here, but it actually betrays a big problem with your approach to the problem: your focus is far too narrow. Right now, when you're making these plugins, you're probably thinking to yourself "I'm programming a Bukkit plugin!". That's an understandable view to take, but it's a stumbling point that you need to overcome. You're not programming in Bukkit, you're programming in Java. Bukkit is merely an API, Java is the main thing you need to know about. Once you know the actual language, then you can know the API. And converting a String to an int is not something you do in Bukkit - there's no possible way you can use Bukkit to convert a String to an int. That's something you accomplish with Java.

 

Can you just tell me how to make a command like
/givekeys <User> <amount>

 

Search around you will find it eventually

 

Come on now, this guy is clearly a out right beginner. Go easy on him. By giving him hints that he will never understand due to have lack of knowledge wont help him.

@DaanSander
You need to check each argument. Start off by checking the lengths (args.length). Then to check a player name use:

Code:

Player p = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[number]);

I suggest making a check to see if that player isn't equal to nothing as well.

Next to the int, to get a int from a string you'll have to create a int:

Code:

int i = 0;

Then to the string part do:

Code:

i= Integer.parseInt(args[number]);

Made up off the top of my head!

That's how you get all the stuff you'll need to create the command. I'm not going to spoonfeed you anymore code on how to make the command.

 

@Coopah And spoon-feeding him code that doesn't work isn't helpful either

 

@AdamQpzm
What doesn't work?

Ohh I see now. I ment to type "i" not amount.
