plugin help

I am trying to create a plugin, and I create a source folder, then I need to name it where I host my plugins, but where would that be?

jacek said his is bukkit.org.jacekk.co.uk
how can i find mine?

trying to create a test plugin

 

Well when you make a plugin, you make a JavaProject, then create a package, then create your class'

 

I created the java project. I then go to the source folder and create new package. and it needs a directory.

@saul100 ohh, i see what you mean, it doesn't matter what your package name is, generally is is me.saul100.<pluginname>, you're not means to use bukkit. unless you're something to do with actualy bukkit.

co.uk.<author>.<pluginname> is for people who own the domain name

 

In the future, plugin development help goes under the plugin development forum . You will get a lot more help a lot faster that way.

yep, i did what you said then dragged it into source file (src)

 

@saul100 oh, okay, fair do's

 

One other thing. If I create a plugin now, and 1.8 and recommended builds out within days, what happens? Can I just download new bukkit and copy+paste all the coding?

 

@saul100 basically, all you have to do if switch the external jars, try and fix any problems (there shouldnt be) compile it, test it, and then its fine

 

@NeoSilky
so no need to recode it? YESSS
thanks man

 

@saul100 nope, not unless it drastically changes

 

OK. lets say Im typing

PHP:

player.sendMessage(ChatColour.

The colours don't appear after the . so It dosnt turn blue and work

 

unfortunately, bukkit is programmed in american, so you spell colour by 'Color'

so it should be

Code:

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + ETC......

 

WOW, thanks for that.
Man, english is killing me

 

its fine, i got stuck at first

 

next. I want it to announce a message that someone placed TNT. how is that possible?

 

damn, i'd be able to give you the code if i was on my laptop.
Before i tell you how, DO NOT RELEASE, PEOPLE WILL TROLL!

Anyway.... You make a player listener that has a onBlockPlace event inside it, and then you say
Block block = event.getBlock();
Player player = event.getPlayer();
Then you do if(block.getType == Material.TNT) {
player.sendMessage("You have placed TNT")
}

I believe it is something like that, dead simple

 

I would like to point out that this code will send a message to the player that placed the TNT. If you want the entire server to know, you will need something along the lines of Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("You have placed TNT").

I am not looking at Eclipse right now, so don't quote me on the exact syntax

 

Oh sorry! Did he wanna broadcast it? :S you might wanna get the players name and add that to the broadcast otherwise you won't know who it is :')

 

that is completely true . I recommend (player.getName() + " has placed TNT");

 

OR Player name = player.getDisplayName();

And then

(name + " has placed TNT, ahhhhh!");

 

where does that go? the TNTNotifier.java? shall i post the log?

whats the actual code for it? AND SHOULD I just post it after the;
plugin.logMessage(player.getName() + "Placed a TNT Block, Naughty! at " + block.getX() + "," + block.getY() + "," + block.getZ() + "." );

@saul100 yes, it does, in a block listener

@saul100 it would be up to you, doesn't really matter

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Whats the code though?

p.s - onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + msg); (why isn't .red BLUE colour? )

 

im not on my laptop, so i can't say this is word for word, but,

Code:

public void onBlockPlace (BlockPlaceEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
Block block = event.getBlock();

if(block.getType == Material.TNT) {
Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(player.getDisplayName() + " has just placed TNT!!");
}
}

That should be right,

and i dont get your last comment bit?

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(player.getDisplayName() + " has just placed TNT!!"); }
can i just post that line to my eclipse?

@saul100 will be home soon, can help you then

@NeoSilky
Why is my (msg) red lined (error) ?
both:
onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + msg);

and

plugin.logMessage(msg);

 

@saul100 do you have the message set as a String in the config or where ever you have set it? As i said, home soon
