Solved Help with command arguements

Hi Ive done some googling and researching and I can't the answer I need for this problem I have.
I want my command to create a heist like so

/createheist <name> <time> <reward> <level> <cops>
How would I code that?

Code:

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
           if (sender instanceof Player) {
                Player p = (Player) sender;
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("createheist")) {
           // Name, time, reward, cops, level, etc
           

        }

            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Thanks in advance!

 

Judging by the stage at which your code is at, i'm not sure whether you want someone to hand you code or not.

Assuming there has to be 5 arguments, no more and no less, you would want to check to make sure the argument length = 5, like:

Code:

if(args.length == 5)

From there on, depending on what you want to do with the arguments, you can refer to them as args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3] & args[4].

Not sure how helpful to you this is, but i'm pretty sure there are some useful tutorials around command arguments online.

 

@Caedus this is only the command part I have all the methods and config storage setup. So would it look like this?

Code:

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
           if (sender instanceof Player) {
                Player p = (Player) sender;
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("createheist")) {
  if(args.length==0){
//Name for heist
} 

  if(args.length==1){
//Time for heist
}

  if(args.length==3){
//level for heist
}
etc

Not really. You want to check if the length is greater than or equal to 5. What that is doing is checking if it has no args, one arg, or 3 args.

After that, use Integer#parseInt to turn those strings into integer (time,reward,ect)

 

@Zombie_Striker Okay I know this is like the worst thing to ask but, can you spoon feed me the code? I'm just having trouble understanding how to make multiple arguments.

Enjoy

 

As Zombie Striker said you would check if the length is equivalent to 5 as you have 5 "arguments"
Name, Time, Reward, Level, Cops
Indexes start at 0
So if you wanted to set a String name to the first argument "name"

Code:

String name = args[0];

If you wanted to set the time to an int

Code:

 int time = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);

 

@MrDplugins
Actually, when we execute args[number], we are talking about Computer Numbers,(Starting from 0),
But with args.length is the Human Numbers (starting from 1)
