Explosion Creation Help.

Why doesn't this create and explosion when the player joins the server?

The p.sendMessage() works perfectly.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
 
        Player p = (Player) event.getPlayer();
        p.getLocation().getWorld().createExplosion(p.getLocation(), 3);
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "@--------------------------------------@");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Welcome to Econocraft " + ChatColor.AQUA + p.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GREEN + "!");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "There is currently " + ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length + ChatColor.YELLOW + " player(s) online!");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "@--------------------------------------@");
 
    }
}

 

I would disable fire and block break (x, y, z, power, boolean fire, boolean breakblocks) instead of just exploding.

Also, it'll return a boolean if the explosion is successful, so I recommend checking if it is. Maybe another event cancel it or something like that.

 

How can I check if it is successful?

 

createExplosion returns a boolean. If true, it is successful.

 

What if it is false? What would that mean for the explosion?

 

createExplosion might fire events that can be cancelled - just test it: listen to ExplosionPrimeEvent (not sure this one triggers, though) and EntityExplodeEvent, even if there is no entity.

 

Just asking, do you know Java? World.createExplosion returns a boolean if explosion succeeded. Test it with:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
 
        Player p = (Player) event.getPlayer();
        Location loc = p.getLocation();
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Explosion were created? "+ p.getLocation().getWorld().createExplosion(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ(), 3, false, false));
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "@--------------------------------------@");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Welcome to Econocraft " + ChatColor.AQUA + p.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.GREEN + "!");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "There is currently " + ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length + ChatColor.YELLOW + " player(s) online!");
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "@--------------------------------------@");
 
    }

 

You needed to make it a boolean Thanks for all the help!

 

You don't need to, it just to check if it is successfull created
