I can't teleport a player on respawn

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerRespawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event) {
    if (game_in_progress == true) {
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("The game is still progress, so you will be taken to the spectator room");
        tpToSpec(event.getPlayer());
    }
}

I get the message in chat and I know that tpToSpec() works, so why doesn't this work?
Thanks for any help =)

 

Try deferring the teleport by a tick with a sync delayed task.

 

I'm all new to Java, I have no idea what you're talking about :/

 

OK, Bukkit includes a scheduler, which allows tasks to be scheduled to run in the future (possibly repeating, but in your case you just need a one-off). Have a read of http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming

Try a method like this:

PHP:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerRespawn(final PlayerRespawnEvent event) {
    if (game_in_progress == true) {
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("The game is still progress, so you will be taken to the spectator room");
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(yourPlugin, new Runnable() {
           @Override
           public void run() { tpToSpec(event.getPlayer()); }
        });
    }
}


You will need an instance of your plugin (I called it yourPlugin) there. If your event handler is in your main plugin class, can just pass this, otherwise you'll need to let your listener class know the plugin instance somehow - passing it to the listener constructor is the easiest way.

 

Thanks a lot man, it works now! Sure will look into the scheduler thing, that seems really cool
