    Hi, been awhile.

    How can I check if a player is inside of an area without using the MoveEvent?

    basically when i reload my server i have an array that stores playernames but if i DON'T MOVE the player doesnt get added back into the list.

    You could always use the join event to check if they are in the area whenever they first join. I would assume anyway they would get into the area after that would trigger a move event.

    @TerroDoor You would have to loop the players and check if they're in the area. Do this in the onEnable.

    Why not just use the move event? Yes, it fires a lot but you can filter it so the code only gets ran if they actually moved a block rather than simply moved their head.

    @KarimAKL thanks for the response, Ive come up with a function that checks if a player's coords are in/out of the region and i have this check running every second for every player online, inside my onEnable().

    I mean, it's working and doing what it's supposed to do however i feel like it's using alot of memory.. and inbetween ticks and updating the player lists it sometimes doesn't register in time..

    Code:
        public void onEnable() {
           
            Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
               
                public void run() {
                   
                    for (Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                       
                        PlayerMove.checkLoc(pl);
                       
                    }
                   
                }
               
            }, 0L, 20L); 
    
    Code:
        public void checkLoc(Player p) {
            int px = p.getLocation().getBlockX();
            int py = p.getLocation().getBlockY();
            int pz = p.getLocation().getBlockZ();
            if (px >= minx && px <= maxx &&
                    py >= miny && py <= maxy &&
                    pz >= minz && pz <= maxz) {
                if (!prot.contains(p.getName())) {
                    prot.add(p.getName());
                }
            } else {
                if (prot.contains(p.getName())) {
                    prot.remove(p.getName());       
                }
            }
    
    @KarimAKL i'm also doing this because i need to manage AFK players inside of this region, that's why every second i need to update player locations. Could i also use the checkLoc method in a move event to prevent errors inbetween ticks?

    @TerroDoor Just check for the last time they moved using PlayerMoveEvent, instead of having a Runnable check every second.

    @TerroDoor Have the Runnable check the last time they moved, then update that time in the PlayerMoveEvent if they're inside the area.

    @TerroDoor Save System#currentTimeMillis() to a Map<UUID, Long> in your PlayerMoveEvent.
