getHealth(): How do I add health to a player?

Hey Bukkit!
This is my first actual post on this forum. So, I want to add health if you right-click a paper (bandage). I want to add 5 hearts (= 10 health points). I tried to code this, but Eclipse says it's an error. This is the whole file:

Code:

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
 
public class BandageUse implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void onBandageUse(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
 
if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
 
if (e.getPlayer().getItemInHand() == new ItemStack(Material.PAPER)) {
 
e.getPlayer().getInventory().removeItem(new ItemStack(Material.PAPER, 1));
e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer().getHealth() + 10);
e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You used a bandage and got 5 hearts.");
 
}
 
}
 
}
 
}

This line is the problem: e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer().getHealth() + 10);. Eclipse underlines getHealth() red, and gives this error: The method getHealth is ambiguous for the type Player.
Thanks!

Have you tried using doubles? They were talking about how the new bukkit uses doubles, and reading the post I linked second, sounds like it's a hybrid of doubles and integers. The first link shows that getHealth() returns a double. Try casting 10 to a double?

Can you give some really simple example?

Btw. I mean how to GET health

 

e.getPlayer().setHealth((double)e.getPlayer().getHealth() + (double)10)
e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer().getHealth() + 10.0d) (Read this somewhere, no idea if it works)

Which version of bukkit are you building against? And this may not be the problem, just makes sense for the changes that happened.

 

Change:
e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer().getHealth() + 10);
To:
e.getPlayer().setHealth((float)e.getPlayer().getHealth() + (float)10);
or
e.getPlayer().setHealth((double)e.getPlayer().getHealth() + (double)10);

Either should work.

 

Make sure to check if newHealth >= 20, if it is, then just set health to 20 because you can't add 10 to 20 as it would then be 30, unless using a custom health system minecraft's limitations are 0-20, I'm sure you're already aware though

 

Serventor You NEED to compile against the api. (Commonly named bukkit.jar)
