String customenchant = args[0]; and String[] Enchants = {"Telebow", "Explosivebow"}; im trying to make it so like its kind of like Player player = (Player) sender but for like an arg check so that if a arg is used then it puts it into a thing like player is in the var i sent above so then i can do like get players held item and set a lore according to the arg that was used so then i can use that as a check in my events thingy to make custom enchants

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding. Or at the very least might be overthinking things.
If I understand correctly, you want to make a command that applies a "custom enchantment". Your way of doing so involves Strings. So in order to do that you have an array of strings that represent all of your enchantments. For a setup like that, you are just doing simple string comparisons. I'd recommend converting that array into a List<String> so that you'll have an easier time getting the information you need.
Also, the third code block you have is what's know as casting. You can't cast an array to a string as they are incompatible types.

if player does not have permission

List#contains()
If you were to convert your current array to a list that is.
You would have a far easier time.
Otherwise, you'd have to loop through the entire array and compare indexes.

You can't use a switch on a Set like that
Use .contains() would probably be the best way to do that.
quaint mantle
Is this the correct use of getitemmeta
hasty prawn
It won't actually set it because getItemMeta returns a copy, so you have to re-set it also.
quaint mantle
what does that mean
hasty prawn
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setLore();
item.setItemMeta(meta);
so
if i pasted this into my code
it would change the lore of the item?
i mean like
hasty prawn
I mean... you'd have to actually pass something into setLore() but yes
Although you should understand why it works not just copy paste it.
quaint mantle
so i dont have to do anything with iteminmainhand
kind hatch
No, you will have something to do with it.
It's the item you want to compare against and then modify.
quaint mantle
Although you should understand why it works not just copy paste it.
right im trying to figure it out and being spoon fed all the answers is nice after 2 days of trying (12 hours + i know its ridiculous but im having a hard time with args) but i'd also like to know how it works
hasty prawn
2 days 
quaint mantle
2 days <:NotLikeThis:967288435989684265>
ik
but
where do i apply itemInMainHand
i would do
ItemMeta meta = iteminMainHand.getItemMeta();
hasty prawn
Yes
quaint mantle
k nice
kind hatch
Since ItemMeta returns a copy and not the original, you need to overwrite the original with your copy. You can think of it like how Strings are immutable so you need to return a new string each time you want to make a change to it.
quaint mantle
so now meta is the ietm
and i can do whatever i want with meta
such as change name
add atributes
and change lore
correct ?
hasty prawn
Yes

Since ItemMeta returns a copy and not the original, you need to overwrite the or...
And then you have to re-set it like I did, reason is what Shadow just explained here.
quaint mantle
Since ItemMeta returns a copy and not the original, you need to overwrite the or...
tbh im not gonna lie to you and say i understand what any of it means i mean ik what a variable is ofc but wdym by copes and not the original?
oh
a copy
so then
why not just do
itemInMainHand.setlore
hasty prawn
Well, try it and you'll see why.
kind hatch
Because that is the ItemStack itself, not the ItemMeta.
quaint mantle
oh it doesnt exist
oh
wait so then what is itemstack
is it litterally the item
kind hatch
More or less.
quaint mantle
and meta is just the "elements" of the item
kind hatch
The ItemMeta is all of the "extra" data.
quaint mantle
right
ok
Let me test it out
also
when looking for the item lore
does it have to be exactly the lore
because my lore has multiple lines...
kind hatch
Depends on how you are looking for things.
quaint mantle
if(itemInMainHand.getItemMeta().getLore().equals
kind hatch
That way would require the exact lore.
quaint mantle
how do i make it search for part of the lore
kind hatch
If you want to look for individual lines, you have to iterate over the list.
kind hatch
iterate = loop over
kind hatch
There's two ways, but the easiest is with a foreach loop.
for (String s : meta.getLore()) {
// do your comparisons
}
wait
what if i did
nl in my lore.add thing
so that
i dont have to use a loop
kind hatch
Well, yea. If you are adding enchantments, using #add() will more than likely work for your case. However, you will have to loop over your lore when you need to check for individual enchantments.
quaint mantle
I'm not adding enchantments
kind hatch
Well, unless you use the PDC, then you wouldn't need to, but that's a separate topic.
quaint mantle
im not adding enchants
so
then if its just a lore
can i do nl then?
because the event looks at the code of the item
not the actual item lore right?
kind hatch
Again, it depends on how you implement it.
Walk through your process.
You start with the command.
You add the enchantment if the criteria is met.
Update the item lore as well
kind hatch
I mean the same thing. I'm treating the addition of the lore as the enchantment itself as that's one approach to custom enchantments.
quaint mantle
oh ok
the thing doesnt work for some reason
uh
where did i go wrong
oh wait i forgot
itemInMainHand.setItemMeta(meta);
quaint mantle
You add the enchantment if the criteria is met.
im having problem with the criteria
so
when i went to test it out
it doesnt do anythign
kind hatch
Share your code.
quaint mantle
pallid oxide
it doesnt do anythign
can u explain what you are trying to do with few simple steps
kind hatch
You are checking if the argument length is 0. Meaning that the player only typed in the command and nothing else.
pallid oxide

You are checking if the argument length is 0. Meaning that the player only typed...
so i need to do 1 right

You need to check if the length is equal to 1.

Player shoots -> if sneaking -> arrow.getScoreboardTags.add("ShouldTeleport") ->...
since im adding an effect should the shoot event go first?
sterile token
there isnt a getConfig().getFloat
You can use getDouble()
crimson terrace
since im adding an effect should the shoot event go first?
the sequence is determined by the events being fired
youre listening to 2 events which are called at different times
quaint mantle
so then the bottom code goes first right?
round finch
are you guys trying to assign things to the arrow?
quaint mantle
yes?
sterile token
Float and Double are the same, but one has more numbers support after the coma
quaint mantle
crimson terrace
so then the bottom code goes first right?
not accurate. the bottom code goes when a Projectile is launched
the top one goes when a projectile hits a block or something
crimson terrace
yes, the order does not matter
quaint mantle
alrightly thanks
crimson terrace
now you only need to replace the top isSneaking call with a arrow.getScoreboard().contains(SomeTag) check
glossy venture
switches are for enums and Strings, etc. I believe
only primitives, for enums it uses the ordinal making it an int and for strings i assume the compiler evaluates the hash code making it an int as well
quaint mantle
now you only need to replace the top isSneaking call with a arrow.getScoreboard(...
already did that
so whats the check for the arrow has thing
crimson terrace
only primitives, for enums it uses the ordinal making it an int and for strings ...
it works for enums
quaint mantle
because right now im at if(arrow.getScoreboardTags().contains("ShouldTeleport") )
glossy venture
it uses that
quaint mantle
what do i write next
glossy venture
i think
crimson terrace
yeah
thats all we needed, thanks
we werent arguing about why enums work, we were saying that they work
quaint mantle
wdym seems correct
glossy venture
that it looks like it would work on the surface
crimson terrace
I cant know without knowing the entirety of your code
glossy venture
but we dont know for sure
quaint mantle
your telling me if(arrow.getScoreboardTags().contains("ShouldTeleport") ) { would work?
glossy venture
so you have to try it
crimson terrace
but it seems correct enough XD

you could use PDC

too complicated for something this simple
crimson terrace
either way doesnt work
send your code
sterile token
either way doesnt work

too complicated for something this simple
if the arrow despawns or doesnt hit its important to bind the data to the entity

now you might wanna customize the tag youre adding and checking to something no other person would add or remove
something like <yourPluginName>:<PlayerWasSneaking>
just in the rare and odd case another plugin did the same thing but different

like Telebow:Telearrow or smth

like `Telebow:Telearrow` or smth
exactly

they persist

not sure

the name would suggest either of the latter

ive never heard of a scoreboard tag though

I would call them Metadata, its more sophisticated name
crimson terrace
I would call them Pebbles, because its just as sophisticated as a rock

i guess its a form of metadata

there is a max velocity pre-set i guess
you just need to get the arrow on BowShootEvent
and reset it's velocity
arrow.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().normalize().multiply(3));```
river arch
someone uses PlotSquared help me?
quaint mantle
you just need to get the arrow on BowShootEvent
bowshootevent apparently does not exist
?
quaint mantle
ok
quaint mantle
EntityBowShootEvent i guess
worked
so now i need to get the arrow
or is arrow already set
because its a bow shoot event
fluid river
event.getProjectile()
Arrow arrow = event.getProjectile();
arrow.setVelocity(...);
quaint mantle
how do i set a velocity
because i have never used velocity ever.
i dont want to multiply the velocity
i just want it to be like a fully charged bow
even if the player didnt fully charge it
fluid river
```java
arrow.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity().normalize().multiply(3));```
.
you do normalize() to make vector length 1
and then multiply by 3
i guess velocity should be 3 in direction
so this line might work
try it
quaint mantle

you should be able to use %s as well for the name and message

use %1s and %2s (I think) don;t set teh actual message in the format

yeah
quaint mantle
how do i add the lore to the item
but not set it
ilke if the item already has the lore
how do i just add a new line

youd have to clone the list and set the new item meta
eternal oxide
lore is a List
upper vale
acc im not sure if the list is modifiable or not but either way you'd have to setitemmeta again
