[Tutorial] How To Use Enum Class!

ok welcome to this tutorial its going to be fast!
ever wanted to make something like this that allows you to make custom names for
your metods when add stuff to player/mobs/all other thing in ---> minecraft

PHP:

getit.setCustomPotion(player, Cp,SUPERMAN, time, strongness);

for ex:
getit = the class name of enum
setCustomPotion = the method that you created in the enum class called getit , this can be changed to anything so does the class just press f2 on class to rename it , or just change method name
player = the player that will get the custompotion
cp.SUPERMAN = the custom potion, the cp can be changed so does the SUPERMAN
time = the time that the potion will last on player
strongness = how fast you gona run with speed potion for ex: here it is just so you need and int

an int is a number so you guys know <---

well this is the tutorial for you so we can start by create a new Enum class called what ever you want but it will be the key word to get the option, for it in this case, i will call the class get
it will look like this

Code:

package YOURPACK;
 
public enum get {
    //ADD CUSTOMPOTION
}

the YOURPACK = is the main package for you class
ADD CUSTOMPOTION = just add words for your potions

ok when that's done lets add some words that we can use to get the custom potion effect

PHP:

public enum get {
    //ADD CUSTOM
    ONE,
    TWO,
    END,
    SUPER,
}

now we added; one , two, end, and super
this are the names of the custompotions

now under that create how you want to get the custom names in to a method where we call
the custom potion and its settings

PHP:

    static get CO = get.ONE;
 
    public static void setspell(final Player p, get Getir){
        switch(Getir){
        case ONE:
            break;
        case TWO:
            break;
        case END:
            break;
        case SUPER:
            break;
        }
    }

this will be like this

PHP:

get.setspeel(player, get.ONE);

so it will give the player that you selected the effect ONE

now when you do

PHP:

get.setspell(player, get.ONE)

it will set it to one, now you can change what 1 will do for ex:

Code:

        case ONE:
p.sendmessage("you was sent 1");
            break;

this means if do

PHP:

get.setspell(player, get.ONE)

it will send player the message "you was sent 1"

 

There are many grammar and spelling errors in this. Also, this is not set out very neatly. When creating a thread in resources, please try to use correct grammar/spellings and also set it out nicely.

You don't even have proper conventions, and this is not the place to post java tutorials. This is just to show off code, not a proper resource.

 

this might help pp

 

If people want to look at a strictly java tutorial, then they should go to the oracle website or somewhere dedicated to java. Stuff here should really have something to do with bukkit.

 

Considering I can barely understand it, it didn't help me.

 

You are both wrong, Java tutorials are in fact allowed here.

 

Yes they're allowed here, but they should still have something to do with bukkit considering we're in the Resources sub-section, of the Plugin Development section, of the Bukkit forums.

 

Code:

getit.setCustomPotion(player, Cp,SUPERMAN, time, strongness);

Seems to me he's using this as an example of something we can do in bukkit.

 

I'd like to see you use that line of code in one of your plugins using his explanation of it.

The posting of Java turorials aren't moderated, but discouraged. It depends on the definition of "not allowed". There are things that are less loosely bound to a certain rule than others, if you understand.

 

well you dont know how to make stuff easy in plugins? for ex if i want to add item to inv make it unclickable
and give you something and remove money i can use this to get that to work bu adding all i need and btw this is used in my wip project Mcc

so i dont need to make like 500 extra lines of code to get that to work

Before you even start to code, why don't you clean up your grammar, capitalization, and make this a little more detailed. This is not Kik (if you don't know what I am talking about, Google it); we are a professional community and we expect decent material from these resources.

 

Not really... xD
Most of us just code java as a hobby. You can't really get professional with developing plugins.

 

In the resources section, we try to be as professional as possible.

 

Getting paid isn't the only definition of professional (more specifically look at the world English dictionary part, points 3, 7, and 8)

(I'm assuming you meant to quote me there since he was defending you)

As to not knowing how to make stuff easy, feel free to look through some of my code.

And my point to you is that you made a Java tutorial which in my opinion shouldn't be posted here since this is the bukkit forums in a section related to bukkit (e.g. not the off-topic section). Something like this can easily be looked up from a quick google search which will find much much (not trying to offend you here) better documentation, explanations, and examples.

My point to Ultimate_n00b (not going to tag him as it applies to you more than him) was that yes, you threw in bits of bukkit API references but you never bothered explaining them in the least bit. For instance, that line of code:

Code:java

getit.setCustomPotion(player, Cp,SUPERMAN, time, strongness);

I have not idea what 'getit' is.
I have not idea what the 'setCustomPotion()' method is.
I can assume that 'player' is a player but what significance does that have to the method.
I have not idea what 'Cp' is.
I have not idea what 'SUPERMAN' is.
'time' is what? Ticks, Seconds, Minutes, etc...
'strongness'? I don't even know what that means.

Even from your own way of phrasing things, it doesn't even seem like you know what's going on.

By Java convention, the class name should be capitalized. And that comment doesn't make any sense to me, why does an enum have to be a custom potion? What does the class name 'get' even have to do with custom potions?

This part just annoys me (as in it isn't all that big of a deal). words? 'lets add some words'? They're constants. They are static Enumeration constants. They are basically variables that don't change. Calling them 'words' makes them sound like they are part of a String.


I'm not trying to hurt your feeling though I fear that I did as I've hurt other people's feeling for far far less. I was trying to express mainly that I don't think a tutorial like this should belong here and secondly that it isn't a very good tutorial to begin with along with there being better ways to find out this information. I usually don't get involved in these but I've seen quite a few of them lately and it ends up being a nuisance to see this sub-section littered with poorly written tutorials and/or ones that shouldn't be here in the first place.

Well I wasn't really referring to the getting paid aspect since I get paid for making plugins. I'm more referring to the pressure, deadlines and the eye for perfectionism.

 

We all agree this needs to be improved (alot more)

 

well... ok ama improve it -.-

is it better?????

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

How about using capatalizion, correct punctuation, and grammar and we will see if it is better.

 

None of your code is compliant with these conventions, and your English isn't very compliant with these. Also, this is barely scratching the surface of the more useful parts of enums.
