Keep items on PlayerDeathEvent

How would i implement that a player keep their items on death trough a PlayerDeathEvent such as this:

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player)
        {
            Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();
            logger.info("Name: " + player.getDisplayName());
        }
    }

 

Don't know if you can do it in here or would need to hook into the damage event and check if health gets 0

What you probably need to do is get their inventory and save it. And then on re spawn if they are on the list give them the stuff again

Edit: and clear the drops most likely

 

Or, if you don't care who keeps it just use GameRule

Doesn't that just keep it from falling into the world though?

ImPhantom
Place the player's inventory on death and retrieve when he respawns

Edit: If you don't want to use a HashMap, use an ArrayDeque. Use add(...) and poll() to grab the inventory.

 

ImPhantom Store the items / armor in a Hash Map, listen for the PlayerRespawnEvent and give them back their armor / items.

 

I couldn't be bothered to do armour but I'm guessing this is how items are done.

Code:java

 
private HashMap<String, List<ItemStack>> items = new HashMap<String, List<ItemStack>>();
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
 
// TODO: Amour
items.put(event.getEntity().getName(), event.getDrops());
 
event.getDrops().clear();
}
 
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerRespaw(PlayerRespawnEvent e) {
 
if (!items.containsKey(e.getPlayer().getName())) {
return;
}
 
for (ItemStack item : items.get(e.getPlayer().getName())) {
e.getPlayer().getInventory().addItem(item);
}
e.getPlayer().updateInventory();
 
items.remove(e.getPlayer().getName());
}
 

 

What do you mean?

Normally, when you die, you drop your items. If you clear the drops, then nothing will drop out, but you won't keep your items.

If you said most likely then I'd assume that you just invalidated your first answer

Besides so, wouldn't a Queue implementation be better for this purpose?

 

that's why I said 'and'

anyways about the Queue implementation. I'm not sure.
If you refere to this sort of Queue check the spoiler about my opinion. If you mean another sort of Queue then I dunno

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

If you have a queue with

player1 - his Inventory as an entry
player2 - his Inventory

and so on

Unless I might missunderstand on how you mean Queue implementation I'd say its not a good Idea.
Queue works after the FiFo principle.
And this makes it bad for this purpose. Why? If player1 dies you put him in the queue as I put above and give him the inventory on the respawn event again, every other player would need to wait for player1 to respawn before they can respawn and get their Inventory back. If he disconnects, what then? Or you go and iterate over it and check every entry then I guess there's no real need for a Queue.

HOWEVER: If you force them to respawn, THEN a queue is probably a bit better
