How i get the 10 players with highers values in config?

Hi guys im making a plugin and i want to make a command that shows the top dragon kills. Every players in my server are in config and shows to each one the number of dragon that they killed.
I just dont know where i start.. can u help me how to make 1? thank you
If u need my code tell-me that ill add it!

 

for loop get player name of highest score.

 

And how i do that?

 

@Gonmarte
What parts confusing you, the for loop or getting the highest score?

Show you with examples, no. We will tell you how to go about doing though.

 

@Zombie_Striker So can u pls teach me? Im not saying to sponefeed im just saying to help me get though this problem and help me make a lead :/ I dont know how i get the 10 players with the highest value in the config ...

 

@Gonmarte

1. Create a map where the keys are Integers, and the Values or UUID's
   
2. Create a for lop to loop through all the players
   
3. Get the players score from the config.
4. Create a loop for integers, starting at 1 and going upto 10
5. If the map does not have that values saved (e.g. !map.contains(int)) or if the value it returns is less than the score (map.get(int) < score) do the following
6. Create a backwards loop which will set each key up down by one (map.put(number-1,map.get(number)))
7. After setting all the values down by one, put your score into the map with the and assign the key to be that of the ranking (the now open slot in the map)
8. One this is done for all players, the player with the highest score will have a key of 1,the player with second highest score will be 2 ect.

This is the process of creating a map contain the players with the highest scores. This is as simple as I can explain it without posting code.

 

@Zombie_Striker Didnt understand at all .......... Im just going to forget this....... Im not good enoough to make this but thank you anyway.

 

@Gonmarte Learn Java.

 

@rbrick Wow Why u even care? If u arent here to help just dont post threads..

 

@Gonmarte
No, he's right. Look at my signature.

 

@Zombie_Striker u dont have a signature

 

@Gonmarte
If you went up to my first post, you would see this:
---Learn Java before making plugins----
MyPlugin.....

If you understood the way Hashmaps/for loops work, you should get the idea of how to make this method, or at the least understand the steps I gave.

 

@Gonmarte
You said

this (open) this (close)

If you want to be "good enough", you need to learn and understand the language (Java). I was giving you legitimate advice as @Zombie_Striker said. If you need help learning the language, you can take a look at the Java tutorials or thenewboston

 

for(String randomPlayersUUID : config#getConfigurationSection("users").getKeys(false)) {
String pathToDragonKills = "users." + .randomPlayersUUID + ".dragon-kills"
}
something like that

@TheGamesHawk2001 u are not helping me... I hope u understand that post a random code wont help, if u want to sponefeed at least u need to explain what u did.

 

Alright, for-loop through your list of players and store the value into a hashmap. Then sort it then make another for-loop that goes counts to the top 10 and break the loop. After that, you just need to send the value. I believe that's how you could do it O-e. If you don't know how to for-loop or use hashmaps, please search it up and watch a few tutorials on it.

 

@ProSl3nderMan
That is not very descriptive and it does not have all the needed steps (also, you shouldn't loop all the way to ten for a top ten list, loop till the score of the the value is greater than the score you are trying to put in)

I don't think anyone can explain it better than what I did above without posting code

 

Ah yes, I was wrong or I didn't clarify what I meant hehe

 

@Gonmarte I'm surprised anyone's helping you with your attitude.

 

@TheGamesHawk2001 zombie helped me!

 

@Gonmarte https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ + http://jd.bukkit.org/ + Asking other developers or posting threads in an attempt to learn, and I promise you will have enough knowledge to do this

 

@MrBlackIsBack What?

@MrBlackIsBack Thats what im trying to make -. i didnt know how to make and i asked. :c That websites shows all the things that we cando with a hashmap, and how to use a hashmap.. all the things about hashmap?

<Edited by bwfcwalshy: Merged posts, please use the edit button rather than double posting.>

 

It tells you everything you need to know about java

 

ik, thank you for the help guys.
Dont need to reply more thread!
End of The Thread =)
If i need any help with this ill ask u after i learn more about haspmaps =)

 

@Gonmarte End of The Thread = mark this as filled
