Checking health

I am having a problem with checking player health, when i use the .getHeatlh(int) on a player entity, eclipse says ".getHealth(int) is ambiguous for the type player" any idea how to fix this/ work around?

 

The p.getHealth method does not require any arguments.

 

It's No longer an int, it's a long now.

 

Lolmewn I thought doubles were used now...

Loogeh Well it's actually a long but to avoid issues they made it a double.

 

Lolmewn Ahh, okay.

 

Ok well i tried switching it to a double but i still get the same problem, "The menthod 'getHealth() is ambiguous for the type Player" And yes i have read through that now, it was semi-useful

 

I use this in my plugin:

Code:java

double currentHealth = player.getHealth();

Must be a double or it will throw errors.

 

I tried exactly that, and eclipse still throws the error "The menthod 'getHealth() is ambiguous for the type Player"

Are you using this in an Event or onCommand?

 

Event, would you like me to post a larger snippet of my code?

 

Anerdson
OHHH I know why.
Use this to compile the plugin:
http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/bukkit/
Beta build of BUKKIT not CRAFTBUKKIT

 

HeyAwesomePeople

Ok ill try that, what is the difference between bukkit and craftbukkit?

 

Anerdson
Well, all I know is:
Bukkit = For Coding
Craftbukkit = For servers/coding

Try it, that's why I had to start using bukkit. And there's no difference in the plugin. Still works with all craftbukkit servers.

Ok! Well one last thing, how do i register listeners?

 

I first make the variable with the listener class as the variable(in main class, above onenable()/onDisabled()):

Code:java

public final InteractListener1 bl = new InteractListener1(this);

Then I use this in onEnable() to register it:

Code:java

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(this.bl, this);

 

HeyAwesomePeople Do you ever use the variable again? Otherwise you could just make the variable when registering the events. At least, that's how I always do it.

Also, if anyone comes in here and has the same issue + uses Maven, prioritize Bukkit above Craftbukkit. You need both.

 

@HeyAwesomePeople
Is all of that in the main class? Or is part in the listener class?

Also

What is the b1?

 

Main class. And b1 is referencing the variable above.

 

HeyAwesomePeople

Ok the "= new ExampleListener (this);" is coming with an error: "The constructor ExampleListener(Main) is undefined"

 

Anerdson
Remove the "this" in (this).

 

HeyAwesomePeople
Okay well i did that, did everything, and now when i tested the plugin nothing happend! I checked the server logs and the plugin loaded properly, and when i tested it, it never did anything (didn't even log and error)

 

Anerdson
Snippet of OnEnable() and listener class please.

 

Anerdson
No, Loogeh!
It would make no sense why the health would be a long now, because so high health values will never exist.

Health is now saved as a float by minecraft and because bukkit don't want to do such a thing a second time they used doubles.
To avoid ambigous errors add bukkit as a dependency instead or before adding craftbukkit.
