I'm trying to use a method from a class in my onCommand listener

[elfin blade]

And multiple people have given you advice regarding this

I will repeat mine:

You should study a bit more OOP and make sure you understand how it works before attempting to write a plugin

"Accessing a method/variable from another class" is a common beginner question that demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how object orientation works

[vital knoll]

i know how oop works

[elfin blade]

Then you should know that you need to call a non-static method on an instance of a class, not the class itself

And that you will need to instantiate (or obtain) this instance

[vital knoll]

no i dont, im new to java, i know oop from python and javascript

that's my code

[elfin blade]

Then you don't understand OOP in the right context, those languages' OOP implementations are nothing like java's

[vital knoll]

java is a weird language

[elfin blade]

Java has a much more rigid type system and more fleshed-out OOP because OOP was the entire point in java rather than an afterthought in language design

Python and js are the ones with weird OOP implementations

[brave cedar]

An issue with that code is that you'll have one global gui if you create one

[elfin blade]

You should learn more about java OOP before attempting to write plugins

It can be learned in a few hours to a few days and will be the foundation of all code you write in java

So it's very important

[brave cedar]

Once you understand OOP you'll need to understand HashMaps as well

Very useful for this context

[vital knoll]

but dont you agree that you learn from mistakes and erros you do ? im sure if i learn how to fix this then ill figure out the rest

[elfin blade]

You can't gain an understanding of OOP top-down

You have to start from the bottom

[brave cedar]

You'll learn best by learning the core structure of OOP. The issue at hand is by solving your problem you may not understand core functionality that will help in the long run

[elfin blade]

If you only understand the mechanics of it insofar as they enable you to make things work how you want them to, you will never be able to make conscious design decisions

[vital knoll]

ok, any tutorials for reference ?

[brave cedar]

I'm entirely self taught I don't really have any tutorials I can recommend. Others do but it really comes down to how one learns.

I kinda read the oracle docs

[vital knoll]

then how am i suppose to learn 🤷‍♂️

[brave cedar]

Well you've got simple go-overs like this https://www.javatpoint.com/java-oops-concepts

If you like courses there are plenty out there

[vital knoll]

ok thanks

[brave cedar]

If you like videos there's lots but I like this guy https://www.youtube.com/c/CodingwithJohn/

[vital knoll]

I dont like articles, probably wont be useful for me

[vital knoll]

ok thanks

[brave cedar]

Got a ways to go before we reach DI

[vital knoll]

isn't that ban detectable ?

if that makes any sense

[graceful lily]

its a simple concept really

[vital knoll]

im a go dev, i have development knowledge 😅

[graceful lily]

just pass your container class as a constructor parameter

[vital knoll]

thanks for that yall

!close

?close

$close

/close

[elfin blade]

-close

[vital knoll]

i think I have already done this

if only java could give debug info like go and python 😩

aight ill just make the method in the same class

fixes everything
