Checking player has potion effect not working?

I'm just try to prevent giving players the same potion effect 2x but neither of the methods I've tried have worked.

Here's the whole method:

Code:java

 @Override
    public boolean PerformAbility(Player playerToHeal)
    {
        PotionEffect pe = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.HEALTH_BOOST,
                functions.SecondsToTicks(Amplifier() + 30), Amplifier(), true);
 
        if (!onCooldown
                && (!containsEffect(PotionEffectType.HEALTH_BOOST, playerToHeal) || !playerToHeal
                        .getActivePotionEffects().contains(pe)))
        {
            playerToHeal.addPotionEffect(pe, false);
 
            currentClass.classOwner.sendMessage("You boosted  "
                    + playerToHeal.getName() + "s max health");
            currentClass.setAbilityOnCoolDown(this, true);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
 
   public boolean containsEffect(PotionEffectType pet, Player playerToHeal)
    {
        for (PotionEffect pe : playerToHeal.getActivePotionEffects())
        {
            if (pe.getType().equals(pet))
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
 
 

For some reason neither containsEffect() or !playerToHeal .getActivePotionEffects().contains(pe) are working?

Any ideas?

 

When checking if a player has a certain potioneffect, you can simply use:

Code:java

player.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.YOUR_TYPE);

 

jeussa thanks, just wonder why my methods didn't work, anyone know?
