Solved Giving player items in delayed task.

Hi, I'm making a plugin to give a player a diamond sword 3 seconds after the join event. This is a plugin I'm making to work on delayed tasks, but I'm having a problem properly fetching the player.

Here is the error I get when it tries to run the code after 3 seconds: http://pastebin.com/VHuKBR5L

Any help with this issue is welcome!

Code:

package me.themineshack;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Wait extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
       
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
    this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
              Player player = getServer().getPlayer(getName());
              player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Your inventory has been updated.");
              player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD));
          }
        }, 60L);
   
    }
}

 

@oceantheskatr So you're trying to get the Player with the name that getName() returns... You can just set the player to PlayerJoinEvent#getPlayer().

 

That seems to be exactly what I need, however I'm not exactly sure how I would do that, I tried changing "Player player = getServer().getPlayer(getName());" to "Player player = PlayerJoinEvent#getPlayer();" but that doesn't seem to be it.

Would you mind elaborating a but for me?

 

@oceantheskatr Well you'd have to replace the "PlayerJoinEvent" with the actual instance, so 'e', and the '#' with a '.'.

 

Alright, so when I changed it to "Player player = e.getPlayer();" it gave me a red underline on the "e" part, and when I moused over it it said "Change modifier of 'e' to final." so I clicked on that and "public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {" changed to "public void onJoin(final PlayerJoinEvent e) {".

I compiled the plugin and ran my server, and it seems to have worked!

Thank you so much for your assistance!

 

@oceantheskatr Always glad to be of help!
