Custom Plugin Event Registration

[faint bolt]

@wanton ibex

it seems a variable of yours is null

while you're trying to access it

line: DionFarms.java:214

blockBreakListener is null

can you send the whole method?

the method this is in ^

alsoo

for events you need to annotate the methods with @EventHandler

DionFarms the method that has the blockBreakListener.onBlockBreak(event); in it

hmm

where are you setting the blockBreakListener?

are you setting it to anything?

where are you initializing that variable

that's your issue then

you need to set the variable to something

since its null!

everyone makes mistakes, it happens when you're learning

erm, i'm assuming that's your own class?

this one?

could set it to a new instance of that

aka private final BlockBreakListener blockBreakListener = new BlockBreakListener();

you COULD do something like that

[faint bolt]

but this way easier imo

haha no worries, you're just learning

gotta start somewhere!

sure

could you send the EconomyManager?

you need to give it the params

or, you said you initialized it in your main class, instead of creating a new variable you can make that one private static and make a getter for it

the new keyword is for the constructor

aka this:

are you making one in your main class?

if so, you could do something like private static EconomyManager economyManager;
in your main

then initialize it in your enable method

okay

so now

make the variable a static

aka private static

ye

then create a getter aka:

public static EconomyManager getEconomyManager() {
    return economyManager;
}```

nope

that's fine

then in BlockBreakListener instead of creating another variable aka private EconomyManager economyManager = new EconomyManager(); you can remove that line entirely

then in your break method you can just do EconomyManager economyManager = DionFarms.getEconomyManager();

then you should be set!

(i'm terrible at explaining, if you have any questions just ask haha)

👍 lmk

ye

you would want to do the same

any errors in console?

oh i see your problem

you'll have to do the same thing as we did but with a JavaPlugin or just do:

public static JavaPlugin getInstance() {
    return DionFarms.getPlugin(DionFarms.class);
}```

in your main class ^

then in your bukkit runnable use DionFarms.getInstance() instead

                        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(DionFarms.getInstance(), () -> {
                            block.setType(Material.WHEAT);
                            BlockData blockData = block.getBlockData();
                            if (blockData instanceof Ageable) {
                                Ageable newAgeable = (Ageable) blockData;
                                newAgeable.setAge(0);
                                block.setBlockData(newAgeable);
                            }

                        }, 1L);```

here

[faint bolt]

okay, so this ^^

this will go into your main class (DionFarms.java)

[faint bolt]

then this is in your BlockBreakListener class:

so just replace (Plugin) this with DionFarms.getInstance()

because this would be the current class

which isn't a plugin

which is why you're getting a casting error

haha

no worries

🥳

i'll keep this open for a bit longer if you need anything else

just ping me!
