Solved Scoreboard Issue

Hello, I am developing a plugin where, on command, a scoreboard is displayed below select players usernames which says titles such as "[FARMER]" or "[MINER]." The plugin works just fine, but it displays a 0 before each scoreboard title (ex. "0 [FARMER]"). I am new to using scoreboards, so I am guessing the answer is very simple, but does anyone know how to get rid of this 0 before the text?

It would be nice to actually see your code.

 

@Zombie_Striker
Here it is:

Code:

if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("farmer")) {
            ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
            Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
            Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("showfarmers", "farmer");
            objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
            objective.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "[FARMER]");
            for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                if (p.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(username)) {
                    p.setScoreboard(board);
                }
            }
        }

 

@PixelBeaver
I don't think your scoreboard is handling the chatcolor correctly.

Remove the chat color and see if that makes a difference.

Also this is a bad way to get ONE player. Image if there were 100 players on the server. It would have too loop through EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ONLINE in order to JUST GET ONE PLAYER.

Try getServer().getPlayer(Playername) to get the player.

 

That may / could return null if player is not online so its best to also check if Playername != null

Thank you both for the help, although the 0 did not go away :/ However, I tested it with someone else on the server, and apparently when I set my scoreboard as the farmer text, it shows up on the other person's name. When they set their scoreboard as the text, it shows up under my name. So, I'm guessing that it shows the scoreboard not on the sender's username, only on the other people's usernames...

 

Try changing:

Code:

Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("showfarmers", "farmer");

to

Code:

Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("showfarmers", "dummy");

Just tested that out, sadly it doesn't work.

I have updated my code, here is the new copy:

Code:

    if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("farmer")) {
            ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
            Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
            Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("showfarmers", "dummy");
            objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
            objective.setDisplayName("[FARMER]");
            player.setScoreboard(board);
        }

I also have a side question: is there a way to set everyone's scoreboard to display "[FARMER]" only under the player who sent the command's name? If I set the scoreboard as the sender's scoreboard, it displays it for everyone else but themselves, so is there a way to reverse that?

Use the same scoreboard, don't create a new one every time.

 

@MaTaMoR_ How would you suggest doing that?

 

Declare a variable for the Scoreboard outside of the onCommand somewhere so you can access just the 1 without creating a new one each time the command is run.

 

@ShadowRanger
Oh okay that makes sense, I'll try that now.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the help, but the scoreboard is still displaying: [0 text].

 

That's simple: "you can't get rid of this 0 ( if you can please post it here please, I'm searching this too )"
Why?
Minecraft scoreboards were coded that way
This objective is "dummy", it won't update by any stats modification
I recommend you use "health", that updates when you lose or heal a life point
and after that you could use " / 20 - [FARMER]"
That would display these in the conditions:
* player has 20 health points
* player max health is 20 health points

The following scoreboard:
20 / 20 - [FARMER]

Please use formatting color codes

Thank you so much, can't believe I didn't think about that! I'll be sure to mark this thread as [SOLVED], and once again thank you everybody for your help.
