Solved How to check the length of a potion effect

As the title says: How do i check how long a potion effect lasts?
EDIT: Yes, i have looking for this info and found nothing.

 

I tried the 'getDuration' like this:

Code:

if (p.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INCREASE_DAMAGE).getDuration) {

But i stopped trying to do it like that because that's not how i'm supposed to do it, i think.
Then how would i do it?

 

I'm sorry but could you give me an example? I don't get it.

 

All methods are written ending with parentheses. If a method accepts no parameters, it just has the parentheses with nothing inside them. I know it may be a pain to take an entire introductory class to Java just to do Bukkit coding, but I'd recommend reading or watching something about how to write and call methods, so that you're able to better know how to write exactly what you want to occur (and then the process of coding speeds up). I found a simple tutorial you might like here.

As for that example, just write getDuration() with () at the end. If it's a field (example: "duration"), it will have no parentheses. If it's a method it will have parentheses.

 

I'm sorry, but i still don't get it.. :/

 

Bump

 

Would this work for the loop bit?

Code:

for (PotionEffect effect : player.getActivePotionEffects())

 

Not yet because i don't know how/where i should check the duration. :/

 

@KarimAKL
With that loop check if the potion effect.getType is equal to the one you're looking for, if so get the duration
int dur = effect.getDuration();
and then do what you want with the duration

 

Code:

for (PotionEffect potionEffect : player.getActivePotionEffects()) {
  int duration = potionEffect.getDuration();
}

 

Okay, thanks. Now do i do it like this?

Code:

for (PotionEffect potionEffect : p.getActivePotionEffects()) {
  int duration = potionEffect.getDuration();
  p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.Whatever_Effect, Time, Amplifier).duration);
}

?
EDIT: I know, i'm hopeless, sorry.

 

I added something because i wanna remove/add potion effects after getting the duration of the potion effect.
What i would like to do is something like this:
Check if the player has a certain potion effect, then if the player does have that i want to check how long it lasts for and if it's something like higher than 1 minute (> 1200) i want to remove/add potion effects

 

I know about ticks and seconds but i still don't understand what i should do about the duration.

 

Compare, how? Sorry. :/

 

Again, i'm sorry but i don't get it.

 

I just tried this and it seemed to work, thank you so much.

Code:

for (PotionEffect potioneffect : p.getActivePotionEffects()) {
                int duration = potioneffect.getDuration();
                if (p.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INCREASE_DAMAGE)) {
                    if (duration/20 > 60) {
                        p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.REGENERATION, 600, 3));
                    }
                }
            }

And i guess it would be the same for amplifier, right? Just change .getDuration() to .getAmplifier() ?
Anyway, i'll change this thread to solved now.

 

Yeah, thanks.
