Need a hand- Permissions Integration [Solved]

Hey guys, i am trying to integrate permissions into my plugin, Simplewand. Im having quite a problem with it :/ . Im still a little unsure how to do the check for permissions. Do i do a boolean?

Code:

 if (!(Simplewand).permissionHandler.has(player, "simplewand.fireball")) {
      return;
  }

For me, in eclipse, both Simplewand and player return as undefined. How would I go about fixing this?

 

You can not refer to variables you haven't defined anywhere. Define player and permissionHandler first, so the program knows what you mean.

Alright, so (still a little new to this) but would I do:

Code:

Player player = null
permissionHandler = null

?
If not, how might I define them?

 

player is the Player who wants to shoot a fireball (e.g. event.getPlayer(), if inside of an event), and for the permissionHandler read the Permission tutorial again.

 

Right, so i was able to define player and simplewand (I was making a dumb mistake :/) Im now a little confused about this:

Code:

    public static Player player;
    {
        if (Simplewand.permissionHandler.has(player, "simplewand.fireball")) {
        return;
        }
            } 

And return is now coming back as an error. Any ideas how to fix this?

 

Still need a bit of help with this please.

 

Do you have any messengers? (Skype preferred) if so shoot me a private message. I'll help you on there (where necessary)

 

Could you please link me to this? I would appreciate it greatly.

 

to shooting fireballs?
That is "SimpleWand" by the topic starter, you can see it in his signature.

 

Oh no. The permissions tutorial. I could really use it.

 

I believe it's this page.

 

Thank you very much. If we had REP in this forum, I would REP++ you.

 

Likes work well enough my friend.

You haven't defined player at all. You simply stated the variable...
I'm assuming the error that you're getting is something along the lines of "player undefined...or NPE at player"

I'm going to assume this is inside a PlayerListener, and that you have something along the lines of this set up:

Code:java

 
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
//do stuff
}
 

Anywho, back to my original statement, 'player' has to actually store a value. So lets say, for this SimpleWand plugin, you wanted it so that every time a player right clicked with a stick (and had the permission node 'simplewand.fireball'), it shot a fireball:

Code:java

 
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteraxtEvent event){
//not only state the variable, player, but actually fill it with a player
Player player = event.getPlayer();
//checking for right-click and whether or not the player is holding a stick
if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR ){
if(event.getItem() == null)
return;
if(event.getItem().getMaterial() == Material.STICK) {
//checking for permissions
if(Simplewand.permissionHandler.has(player, "simplewand.fireball")) {
//insert fireball shooting shenanigans here
}
}
}
}
 

Also, ignore the excessive if statements. I know I could have condensed them, but I needed to explain each part (just to be sure we were on the same page )

I'm dumb.
Thank you guys, especially @DrBoweNur , for helping me with this.

 

My pleasure
