1.9 Custom Armor Help

[RedBullSlurpie]

Would like some help again if possible. In 1.8.9 I had the code(Next line down)

GameRegistry.registerItem(PreInit.topaz_chestplate = new ItemTopazArmor("topaz_chestplate", PreInit.topazA, 1,  1), "topaz_chestplate");

 

When brought over to 1.9, it seems to have changed, this is the Vanilla diamond armor for 1.9.

registerItem(310, "diamond_helmet", (new ItemArmor(ItemArmor.ArmorMaterial.DIAMOND, 3, EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD)).setUnlocalizedName("helmetDiamond"));

 

When trying to replicate that for my topaz helmet, I get no errors in coding, but I do get a crash which points back towards that line, here is my replicate code for the Topaz Helmet

GameRegistry.registerItem(PreInit.topaz_helmet = new ItemTopazArmor("topaz_helmet", PreInit.topazA, 3, EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD));

 

Any help on this one? Thanks.

you are probably getting a null pointer exception because you are doing an assignment inside of a function call. Move your assignment statement in front of the register call and pass in the variable.

The error in the console I get is

Initializing game

 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attempted to register a block with no name: com.rbs.slurpiesdongles.armor.ItemTopazArmor@1f1a57e8

 

Here is the pastebin of the crash report

GameRegistry.registerItem(Item, String)

registers the item with the specified name.

GameRegistry.registerItem(Item)

registers the item with its registry name, which can be set with

Item#setRegistryName

. You haven't set the item's registry name, so

GameRegistry.registerItem(Item)

throws an exception.
