Question

I’m trying to create a minecraft plugin with Java, bukkit.

@EventHandler
public void onItemDrop(PlayerDropItemEvent e) {
    /*
     * Dropping items
     */
    Item item = e.getItemDrop();
    item.setMetadata("NODROP", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, e.getPlayer()));
    if (!e.getPlayer().hasPermission("nodrop.drop")) {
        e.getItemDrop().remove();
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(colorizeText(ChatColor.RED + getConfig().getString("drop-message")));
    }
}

The error I’m getting is ‘plugin’ on

    item.setMetadata("NODROP", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, e.getPlayer()));

which is:

plugin cannot be resolved to a variable

Please help!

Answer 1

So what needs to happen is a line of code like this within the method body:

Plugin plugin = new Plugin();

Or you could declare plugin as an instance variable:

public class Foo  
{
    private Plugin plugin;  //initialize later  
    ...
    public void onItemDrop(PlayerDropItemEvent e) {  
     ...
   }  
}
