Random Potions

Hello! I am currently working on a plugin and want to know how to give a player a random potion effect after he kills someone. The potions are custom(ex: PotionEffect potion = new PotionEffectType.SPEED, 5, 2)

if anyone could help that would be amazing thanks for your time!

 

Use the built in Random class.

 

Built right into Java! https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html

 

Thanks!

"I can't figure it out" gives no information. View the documentation on the Random class. Random#nextInt(5) will create a random integer from 0-4

 

Use the random to get a random index of PotionEffectType#values() then you can ether set a static amplifier and length, or use a random for those too.

 

Why static? You mean final?

 

teej107 meaning either a random amount, or a pre-defined amount.

 

So. You don't need static to define a variable. You could make it immutable and make it a singleton or just make it immutable for it to truly be a constant.

 

teej107 You misunderstood me. There doesn't need to be a variable, and I wasn't mentioning "static" in a java context. I'm saying either a static parameter or random parameter.

 

SuperOriginal Ok, now I got what you were saying. Seeing as static is a keyword in Java, and frankly too many people don't know what's its actual use is for, you got me confused and a little worried when you mentioned it.

 

teej107 No worries. I probably should've used less controversial terminology in my description.
