Tutorial Make a minigame plugin!

Awesomeman2
Maybe...

 

xTrollxDudex I'm still waiting for the config on this, I really need it.

I didn't make it for other people to use, I made it with the intention of creating an example.

 

xTrollxDudex It is not an example if it's non-functional

 

bloodless2010
Close enough

 

Looks a lot like how survivalgames is done.

 

Again, your code is awesome.

I said this before, but I will try to make a better point:

Your tutorial is awesome, except one bug which isn't that clear, from the OP: The arenas and stuff won't persist through reloads. I know you have an example repo, but if you could include this in your tutorial, it would help alot of people!

Thanks!

 

I'm currently working on a library which allows for easy making of arena orietnated plugins among other tings.

pokuit Sounds epic! Im looking forward to this! <3

Why would you have getters for protected fields

 

xTrollxDudex I think that's probably my old version. I haven't committed and pushed in a few days. Also I'm open to pull requests

 

pokuit
Great

if I'm understanding correctly why not just do

Code:java

 
@Override
public String toString() {
return this.location.toString()+this.location2.toString()+this.location3.toString();
}
 

Though I guess what I'm saying is there's no real way to not hard code what to return.
EDIT: Actually with reflection couldn't you just do

Code:java

 
Field[] fields = YourClassName.class.getDeclaredFields();
 

Then filter through and make sure the field is public then you can just get the field and list it with a for loop stating the variables name then the field data.

Umm what?

Ops sorry I was refrencing

I'll make my own guide later, but basically all arenas are, are a bunch of managers.

• ArenaManager
• PlayerManager
• (for those things) Class Manager
• RegionManager
• etc

People think making arenas are hard, they're actually quite easy when you know how to use OOP correctly.

Ooh! Competition

 

>: D you just inspired me to start

 

xTrollxDudex You made a mistake in the arena manager class.

You made an empty arraylist, called Arenas, which is suposed to store all of the Arena objects, yet, its empty?

 

JPG2000
What about it?

 

xTrollxDudex Well, aren't you making a blank ArrayList? How will it store all of the Objects if its blank?

 

JPG2000
I don't get it

 

xTrollxDudex Okay.

You make an ArrayList, called arenas. You make a comment saying "This is all of the Arena objects". I don't get that. Wouldn't just be an empty ArrayList, since you didn't add anything to it yet?

xTrollxDudex Do you understand what Im saying? :/

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

That's where they're supposed to be stored
When I create an arena, that's where I will put it. But if I haven't got any arenas, it would be empty, telling me I need to create arenas both to play in and to store on the list. Get it?

 

xTrollxDudex
In my plugin, I want just one game object with game states. How would I use game states?

 

TehVoyager
Use it your single arena object, and have and enum, ex

PHP:

public enum GameState {
 
STARTING, INGAME, END
 
}

PHP:

GameState g;
public void setState(GameState gs) {
    g = gs;
}
 
public GameState getState() {
    return g;
}
 
/*
* do whatever you want with the state, check it when performing actions
* set it at specific times with a runnable
* edit join signs with them
*/

I know this is a completely inappropriate type of bump (considering that one: I'm bumping my own post and two: it's offtopic)

But nice sig.

 

xTrollxDudex
For your test ArenaPlugin on github mind posting a default config?

 

TehVoyager
No time. Submit a pull request.

 

xTrollxDudex
Would you show us how we might go about including multiple WorldEdit locations for the locations in createArena?
I have an idea if you would want me to.
