Defining the color of an Element?

[xNuminousx]

How/where would you define what the text color of a new element would be?

For example, the text color of Fire is &c and the color of it's sub-abilities is &4.

there's 2 options here, they can either add the option into the core config under the same path as the other elements, or override our getColor() method for Element

Could you elaborate on the override option please. I'm starting to feel like an idiot for not being able to figure this out.

I've looked at the way Pk did it, I've looked at the other overrides that happen through out the code and I've tried to piece together the connections but apparently something else is happening here that I'm either being oblivious to or are just unaware of.

I am currently working on a rewrite of the element system to hopefully make this and many other common issues with the API easier to get through.

So no solution for now?

No there is a solution. It should look something like this:

Element custom = new Element("Custom") {
    @Override
    public ChatColor getColor() {
        return ChatColor.WHITE;
    }
};

Yea I tried that one and it told me to remove the @Override... Do I just ignore it?

    @Override
    public ChatColor getColor() {

};

That goes in the element class correct?

Did you make your own class?

 

[xNuminousx]

nevermind I did it wrong the first time. I see what's happening.

 

[xNuminousx]

Yes

AND Scratch that. It has no errors but not working :/ really confused.
