PurePerms Bugs

So I have this code:

Code:

$this->purePerms->setGroup($player,"Hero");
$ppGroup = $api->getGroup("Hero");
$api->setgroup($player, "Hero");
$sender->sendMessage("You won a Hero Rank!");

It says this:

Code:

[20:43:52] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: Unhandled exception executing command 'legendary' in legendary: Call to a member function setGroup() on null
[20:43:52] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: Error: "Call to a member function setGroup() on null" (EXCEPTION) in "/plugins/zip_iSoftCrates_MCPE14_055dPYHtaCv4Jc_/src/iSoftMC/iSoftCrates/Commands/legendary" at line 70

I want it to set the players rank to Hero but it aint working

 

What exactly is on line 70

 

What is $api? Show more of your code please.

 

That code is outdated if you are using recent versions of PurePerms. To get the group for $p it should be:

Code:

$ppGroup = $this->purePerms->getUserDataMgr()->getGroup($p);

where $p is the Player object, and $ppGroup is a PurePerms PPGroup object.

and to set group with $p as the Player and $newgroup as a PPGroup:

Code:

$this->purePerms->getUserDataMgr()->setGroup($p, $newgroup, null);

To get the name of a group from a PPGroup object:

Code:

$groupname = $ppGroup->getName();

However... to get a ppGroup object from the group's name:

Code:

$ppGroup = $this->purePerms->getGroup($groupname);

Once again, the answers are all in PurePerms source code - search for setGroup and you'll see it's now in PurePerms UserDataManager class:

Code:

public function setGroup(IPlayer $player, PPGroup $group, $levelName, $time = -1)
....

 

Im still confused, I am a HUGE noob at coding. So what would I put in my code?
I have this:

Code:

this->purePerms->setGroup($player,"Hero");//bad code
$ppGroup = $api->getGroup("Hero");//bad code
$api->setgroup($player, "Hero");//bad code
$sender->sendMessage("You won a Hero Rank!");

I don't do this stuff very much and I don't know how to put it all together.

 

PHP:

   $group = $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->getPlugin("PurePerms")->getUserDataMgr()->getGroup($p);
   $groupname = $group->getName();
   if($groupname == "Hero"){
       $sender->sendMessage("You won Hero Rank!");
   }

 

Hm, I still get this error:

Code:

[15:58:44] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: Unhandled exception executing command 'legendary' in legendary: Call to a member function getPluginManager() on null
[15:58:44] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: Error: "Call to a member function getPluginManager() on null" (EXCEPTION) in "/plugins/zip_iSoftCrates_MCPE14_055dPYHtaCv4Jc_/src/iSoftMC/iSoftCrates/Commands/legendary" at line 70

This is line 70:

Code:

$group = $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->getPlugin("PurePerms")->getUserDataMgr()->getGroup($p);

 

You need to read the error! It is telling you: Call to a member function getPluginManager() on null
So that means that $this->getServer() is null in iSoftCrates/Commands/legendary" at line 70.

If you understand how the code you have posted so far is supposed to work... then you've already got enough information to fix this
