[SOLVED] Cannot Apply Potion Effect To A Player

I am trying to apply a potion effect to a player before I teleport them and it is not working with any type of potion effect. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. Here is my code.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void respawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event){
           final Player player = event.getPlayer();
           player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED+"Hades has summoned you to the underworld!");
           player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.BLINDNESS, 1000, 1));
           World nether = Bukkit.getWorld(ExtendedDeath.nether);
           final Location loc = nether.getSpawnLocation();
           plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
                   publicvoid run() { 
                          player.teleport(loc);
                   }
          }, (long)(20*5)); //5 seconds
}

The player just never gets a potion effect applied to them and I'm not sure why... I have applied potion effects to players in my other plugins and this just does not seem to work.

if you want to write your own plugin for this, i wouldn't be much help
but currently there's a plugin that applies currently existing and hidden potion effects to players via command

2 things
First did you make sure that you registered the event listener?
Second Bukkit fires events 1 tick before they actually happen so what you might actually be doing is adding the potion effect the tick before the player respawns. Try scheduling a delayed event for 1 tick around everything

okay I will try that also. Thanks

When you change worlds it removes potion effects.. Just a headsup

Worked?

Yep I just needed to delay the task of applying the potion. Thanks

No problem
