[1.7.2]How do I tell what a players name is?

[squirlemaster]

I am making a mod that when a player joins the world it detects what their name is and if they have a certain name it gives them an item. How would I go about doing that?

[squirlemaster]

I am having some trouble. What do I put before getCommandSenderName();?

 

[squirlemaster]

Could you post an example?

[squirlemaster]

I think the we have both confused each other. Right now I have an event that is triggered when a player logs into the world or server. I want it so that when that player logs in it gets their username. If their username is squirlemaster of Builder_BRP I want it to give them an item. How do I do that?

Call the getCommandSenderName() method on the player variable of the PlayerLoggedInEvent.

[squirlemaster]

Is what i am suppose to do is type player.getCommandSenderName(); because that is not working?

[squirlemaster]

I know Java, I think I'm just not reading it right. Could you point me to a video tutorial because those are what I learn from the best?

[squirlemaster]

I think that I am just confuse. I learn better from examples.

[squirlemaster]

I forgot the event. Didn't know I needed the. I'm new to this. Haven't used events much.

[squirlemaster]

How do I compair the name that was given by the event to squirlemaster or BUilder_BRP because when I try to do it with an if statement it says the it can't convert a boolean to a string but all my variables are strings?

I fixed it nevermind.

[squirlemaster]

My final question, how to I give the player an item?

[squirlemaster]

I just forgot for a second. Forgot .equals.

[squirlemaster]

I get an error on player.

[squirlemaster]

When I use playername I get an error for inventory. Playername is the variable I set Event.palyer.getCommandSenderName(); to.

[squirlemaster]

I don't know. What should I replace player with?

 

[Zer0HD2]

Erm... if you set playername to event.player.getCommandSenderName(), think about what type of variable that is. Now think about what you're trying to do with that variable.

[squirlemaster]

I still don't get it. Can someone please link me to an example or provide one?

[squirlemaster]

I know Java just not that piece. I know how to make GUIs and such but not how to do things with events.

[squirlemaster]

It didn't work. Here is what I have:

public class EventHookContainerClass extends ItemRegistry{

 

@EventHandler

public void playerLogginEvent(PlayerLoggedInEvent Event){

String playername = Event.player.getCommandSenderName();

String squirlemaster = "squirlemaster";

String Builder_BRP = "Builder_BRP";

 

 

if (playername.equals(squirlemaster)){

Event.player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new ItemStack(YAKOB_SWORD, 1));

}

}

 

}

[squirlemaster]

Yes my name is set to squirlemaster in the run config.

[Zer0HD2]

I... what? Why are you extending ItemRegistry? Also, learn which annotations to use.

[squirlemaster]

Item registry is where Yakob_Sword is and which one do I use?

[Zer0HD2]

So you claim to know Java, yet to access a variable from another class you extend that class? I'm out. Learn Java before you try making a mod.

[coolboy4531]

You are using the incorrect @Interface.

 

It should be @SubscribeEvent (NOT) @EventHandler.

I done that but mine is different since i learn java . Heres a tip for you make a string to boolean which detects it into true then u can put an if statement then put your event .
