Solved OnPlayerJoin() not triggering.

okay in a plugin currently in dev i plan to take a players inventor if it scheduled

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent EVNT) {
        if(List.contains(EVNT.getplayer())){
        EVNT.getplayer().getinventory().clear();
        }

however, this code won't work. the event never gets called. In my main class I register the class as event. The class currently holding this event is holding one other event aswell. Anyone Have anyidea why this method isn't called? Thanks in advance.

 

Can we see the rest of the code?

 

Does the "List" variable contain the player? It's generally better to use List<String> for saving players because saving the player instance can cause memory leaks.

Code:java

if(List.contains(EVNT.getPlayer().getName())){
  //Do stuff
}

 

i put an info output at the end outside the if/then so it would print to the console if anything happened. nothing did.

 

tuskiomi are you firing the event on your onEnable()?

 

You shouldn't store players in a list

 

List is usually a type, if you got a variable named List, what type is it
Like zachoooo said make a List<String> and store the Player.getName().

 

Did you register the event in onEnable()

 

FuZioN720 how wouldi do that?

 

If your main class is also your listener, example

Code:

public class pluginname extends JavaPlugin implements Listener

then put this in your onEnabled

Code:

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

This is what everyone means by registering events.

 

i did do that, do i need to do that for every event?

 

Is the event in your main class?

 

If all your events are in different classes you have to register that class. If the events are not in your main class
this would not work.

Code:java

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

You need to do this

Code:java

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Your Listener's Class Name, this);

Your Listener's Class Name is the class your event is in.

 

all events are in the same class

 

tuskiomi Could we see the entire class?

 

fixed.
Main problem: Tpyo in my parameters.
