ObjectElement hasAttribute method not working as expected

Rhialto · Mar 2nd 2025

So I set an attribute for an ObjectElement, but then when I call hasAttribute on that ObjectElement, I always get a FALSE result. Am I doing something wrong, or is this method broken/not implemented?

Java

    @EventMethod
    public void onInteract(PlayerObjectInteractionEvent event)
    {
        ObjectElement o = event.getObject();
        o.setAttribute("test", 12345);
        Server.broadcastTextMessage("test attribute value set to: " + o.getAttribute("test"));
        Server.broadcastTextMessage("object has test attribute?: " + o.hasAttribute("test"));

        boolean hasAttribute = (o.getAttribute("test") != null) ? TRUE : FALSE;
        Server.broadcastTextMessage("object test attribute not null?: " + hasAttribute);
    }

try putting the last 2 lines in a separate method. ive ran into issues setting some attributes then getting them in the same method.

Java

import net.risingworld.api.events.player.PlayerObjectInteractionEvent;
import net.risingworld.api.objects.ObjectElement;
import net.risingworld.api.Server;
import net.risingworld.api.Plugin;

@EventMethod
public void onInteract(PlayerObjectInteractionEvent event)
{
    ObjectElement o = event.getObject();
    o.setAttribute("test", 12345);

    // Broadcast the attribute value (cast to Integer for proper display)
    Object attributeValue = o.getAttribute("test");
    String valueMessage = (attributeValue != null) ? attributeValue.toString() : "null";
    Server.broadcastTextMessage("test attribute value set to: " + valueMessage);

    // Broadcast if the object has the attribute
    boolean hasTestAttribute = o.hasAttribute("test");
    Server.broadcastTextMessage("object has test attribute?: " + hasTestAttribute);

    // Check if the attribute is not null using Java's boolean literals
    boolean hasAttribute = (o.getAttribute("test") != null);
    Server.broadcastTextMessage("object test attribute not null?: " + hasAttribute);
}

Thanks for posting the code snipped! I can confirm that the hasAttribute() method for objects, constructions and plants does not work correctly... I will fix this with the next update

However, the getAttribute() method should still work properly

Thanks. Good to know I'm not crazy.
