[Edited] Help on a new move.

[Pride]

Welp, here's an edited version.

I watched every tutorial, I did what they do, and I eventually created my own Move. It's called Aura, I made the classes, 'AuraInfo', 'AuraListener', 'AuraBlast' and 'AuraManager', I wrote down all the codes to make the move (Fire a beam of particles that explode on impact), it's a very simple move, no errors in the Eclipse error log, as I fixed all of them. I exported the file to my server, I could bind and do /b h Aura and get the description, so at least AuraInfo is working. However, when I left clicked, it does not shoot a beam of particles, it does nothing in general. So that's where I need some people here to help. I got the codes from the classes and pasted on Pastebin, so you can help me with my mistake. Please do.

Thanks

So first of all it seems you're creating an ability using the old API. Use the most recent version of ProjectKorra and you'll find a lot has changed. If the official tutorials told you to do it this way, they must be out of date. If you want, I can run through the basics with you and help you get started. PM me

Thanks so much, Sobki! It's an honor to hear this from a Developer of ProjectKorra. And I will do so, right now. Thanks.

Oh, and I would very much appreciate it if you would actually do a tutorial for me. If you're willing to, notify me. I'll be out today for a while, so I won't be checking on a lot of my things, thanks. Also, yes, the tutorials I watched were way out of date, I just realized. XP

For the record, the reason your ability is not working is because of a mistake in this method

    private boolean canBend(Player player) {
        BendingPlayer bPlayer = GeneralMethods.getBendingPlayer(player.getName());
        if (!GeneralMethods.canBend(player.getName(), "Aura"))
            return false;
        if (GeneralMethods.getBoundAbility(player) == null)
            return false;
        if (GeneralMethods.isRegionProtectedFromBuild(player, "Aura", player.getLocation()))
            return false;
        if (bPlayer.isOnCooldown("Aura"))
            return false;
        if (GeneralMethods.getBoundAbility(player).equalsIgnoreCase("Aura"))
            return false;
        return false;
    }

It's in the last if statement. There you're checking if the player's bound ability is equal to "Aura". If that's true, you're returning false. You should be returning true.

If you still need any help, we are currently in the process of creating a tutorial on the wiki for ProjectKorra abilities

It still has a bit to go, but please tell me what you think of it currently and any adjustments that need to be made Link here: http://projectkorra.com/wiki/index.php?title=Creating_A_ProjectKorra_Ability

Hope this helps

In my opinion, the easiest way to start making abilities is to visit the GitHub page and check out some of the ability files
(Probably a good idea to take a look through GeneralMethods and the general API as well)

If you are open to learning new things a programming question is never idiotic
