Multiple Classes (Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method)

[AliasBots 12]

Hello,

I think this is a really basic Java question (unless DreamBot is weird about classes), but I'm struggling here and could use a hand. How do I make this example work?

I'll spare myself the embarrassment of posting everything I've tried. Instead, I'll post some base code with no attempts at using constructors or anything else.

Main Class

public class Main extends AbstractScript{

	@Override
	public void onStart() {
		Logger.log("Log Successful");
	}

}

Secondary Class

public class Logger extends Main{
	
	public static void log (String info) {
		log(getLocalPlayer().getName()+": "+info);
	}
	
}

Thanks guys!

Not sure if this is the optimal way to do this but in your logger class create a reference to Main.

 

So it would look like this 

public class Logger extends Main {
	static Main mainObj = new Main();
	
	public static void log (String info) {
		log(mainObj.getLocalPlayer().getName()+": "+info);
	}
}

OR

public class Logger extends Main {
	public static void log (String info) {
		Main mainObj = new Main();
		log(mainObj.getLocalPlayer().getName()+": "+info);
	}
}

This will allow you to reference stuff in main such as getLocalPlayer() and anything else you can think of.

Thanks, @yeeter01,

This is actually the closest I got. It ends up throwing a null pointer exception.

Thanks, @Nex, can you elaborate though?

in ur case probably easyest to do this:

public class Main extends AbstractScript {
	    
	@Override
	public int onLoop() {
		log(Logger.get(this, "Name: "));
		return 5000;
	}
	
	public static class Logger {
		
		public static String get(MethodContext m, String info) {
			return info + m.getLocalPlayer().getName();		
		}		
	}
}

Ohh, I see how you are passing "this" as a MethodContext, then calling that.

I will give that a try!

Thanks @Nex , The following worked and should help me split my code up between classes.

 

public class Manager extends AbstractScript{
	
	@Override
	public void onStart() {
		log("Logging In.");
	}

	@Override
	public int onLoop() {
		Logger.makeLog(this,"Test Log!");
		onExit();
		
		return 600;
	}
	
	@Override
	public void onExit() {

		stop();
	}
	
	@Override
	public void onPaint(Graphics graphics) {
		
	}
	

}

public class Logger extends Manager{

	public static void makeLog(Manager m, String info) {
		log(m.getLocalPlayer().getName()+": "+info);
		
	}

}
