Code for StaffGUI

I'm making a staff GUI plugin that means when you do /staff a gui pops up with all the staff online. You can right click the staff's heads to insert /msg [name] into the chat. But... I have no idea what the code for a GUI is, can someone tell me please?

 

We are not going to give you code. If you are looking for it, you shoud ask it on Plugin Requests section.
What have you done so far? If nothing, i suggest you google about creating inventories in bukkit. There is also many resources about that.

 

Err... thanks?
Is there meant to be a separate class for the actual GUI?

Got some code, messed around with it a bit and got.... This

Code:

package com.knightzmc.staffgui;


import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;

public class Staff extends JavaPlugin {



    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender,
            Command command,
            String label,
            String[] args) {
        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("staff")) {
                return true;


            openGUI(sender);


        return false;}
        return true;}

   


       
   



    private void openGUI(CommandSender senderCommandSender) {

          Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 54, ChatColor.GREEN

                + "Warp Selector");


      ItemStack KnightzYT = new ItemStack(Material.EMERALD_BLOCK);

        ItemMeta KnightzYTMeta = KnightzYT.getItemMeta();


        inv.setItem(0, KnightzYT);

      }}

 

Any help?

@TheMinecraftKnight Please fix your code indentation to make it more readable.
What is the problem? Where do you need our help?

The outline as i imagine it is:
1. open an inventory to the player that contains heads of staff members
2. listen to InventoryClickEvent and when a head is clicked, perform some action.

What else?

 

That's exactly what what what what what what what whq

That's exactly want, it should look a bit like this:

I have no idea how to do it though :/

 

@TheMinecraftKnight Hmm. you already have the basis for it, What else can i do to help?
(No code. I dont like spoonfeeding)

 

In this bit

Code:

      openGUI(sender);

it says Unreachable code

Please learn Java before bukkit. Its required, and without it simple mistakes are made.

Here you return, and then try to do something that obviously isnt happening since the method is terminated.

 

Or if I fix the formatting for your code

Code:

    if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("staff")) {
 return true;
  openGUI(sender);
  return false;
}

Do you see the problem now?

 

EDIT: PART OF YOUR POST DIDN'T SHOW UP. GOING TO EAT DINNER AND REPLY SOON

My code is now this:

Code:

package com.knightzmc.staffgui;r








import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;

import org.bukkit.Material;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;

import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;

import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;

import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;

import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;




public class Main extends JavaPlugin {










    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender,

            Command command,

            String label,

            String[] args) {

        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("staff")) {
            return true;





             openGUI(sender);




            return false;}}
      



 







     

 










    private void openGUI(CommandSender senderCommandSender) {




          Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 54, ChatColor.GREEN




                + "Warp Selector");







      ItemStack KnightzYT = new ItemStack(Material.EMERALD_BLOCK);




        ItemMeta KnightzYTMeta = KnightzYT.getItemMeta();







        inv.setItem(0, KnightzYT);


      }}

I followed your instructions, yet there's still something wrong?

 

@TheMinecraftKnight

Does not seem like it. You are returning to soon. Please:

Please learn Java, and then come back to bukkit. You cannot do bukkit before/while you are learning Java, as learning Java first prevents you from making simple mistakes, such as this one. Please take a week (that's all you need) to learn Java and come back to bukkit after that. You should know what the problem is/how to fix it after that. Here are some tutorials where you can learn Java.
https://bukkit.org/threads/plugin-dev-sticky-learning-java-where-to-learn.395662/

 

1 week??
Sinse when you learn java within one week?
(IMO)It should take at least one month.

 

@Gonmarte Actually it depends on the person. But it is absolutely possible to learn the basics in a week if you are enaged. Having the basic knowledge means you can continue learning in a much faster pace and much more efficiently and fix minor mistakes along the way. Doesn't mean that in a week you would know everything whatsoever.

Also considering that for some it is now the easter break from school/work that makes it even easyer

 

My bad, part of @Zombie_Striker 's post didn't show up
