A Couple Noob Questions

Hello. I Am having several brainfarts. First, when you do player.setHealth(whatever) it sets the health to that amount set. Is there a way to subtract 1 from your current health without "setting the health"?

Second, Is there a event to test what bioime you are in?

Thank you for your help. I don't know why I'm having these massive brainfarts...

 

mkezar

1. damage(double)
2. event, no. Method, yes.

 

fireblast709 wow thank you very much. 1 more question. Is is possible to have a dropped item entity ride on a projectile?

 

damaging the entity is a solution but it triggers damage events. If you want to set the health, set the health to getHealth() - 1.0

 

oh, so when you gethealth -1.0, it gets the health minus 1.0?

ive been doing some research on the api docs. is there an event that triggers every time a player walks on a block? because i want to have the event every time a player walks that gets triggered, to run the getBiome method and if hes in the desert, to -1 health every X amount of seconds.

if(e.getFrom().getBiome() != e.getTo().getBiome()) should check if the biome the player's in has changed.

FabeGabeMC that must be a bad brainfart.... i can smell it from here.... xD

 

mkezar in the PlayerMoveEvent, check if either the x or z is different (between from and to). If so, they might be standing in a different biome.

 

someDamageable.setHealth(someDamageable.getHealth() - 1.0);

 

teej107 is that the correct code? because someDamageable sounds incorrect in my mind for some reason...

sorry, noob question but how would i test if the x and z changes? im trying double x and double z and if(double x ==) but im having troubles. could you help me a little? (not spoonfeed)

mkezar PlayerMoveEvent has two locations - one which represents the location the player is moving from, and one for the one they're moving to. Compare the values of these locations.

 

so what would i do code wise? would i use double? what would i use? :/

 

mkezar I would use getBlockX() and getBlockZ()... if these change between locations, you know they've changed blocks

 

so how would i test if it changed? would i do an if statement? or would i just do player.getBlockX()?

 

someDamageable is the variable that implements the Damageable interface.

 

Yes, an if statement.

 

C

So would it look like,

If (player.getBlockX()) {

To see if it got changed?

 

mkezar No... I really recommend you learn the basics of Java from either the Oracle tutorials or a Java book before making plugins

 

ok. its funny cuz im studying a book atm
