Automatic Arenas

Hey well ive created a basic TDM plugin where you can create arenas, join teams etc...
I just ran into a problem though.

How would i make the arenas automatic?
So for example it scrolls through the arenas in the config file (team spawns also save in config file)
I just don't know where to start.

Also how would i make it so they can modify blocks in the arena but after the game ends, the arena resets and it moves to the next arena?

Config looks like this:

Code:

Config:
  Options:
    spawn:
      x: 193
      y: 71
      z: 297
      yaw: 266.24997
      pitch: 40.95001
Arenas:
  test:
    Options:
      TeamGreen:
        Spawn:
          X: 210
          Y: 71
          Z: 301
          Yaw: 158.59991
          Pitch: 4.4500203
      TeamOrange:
        Spawn:
          X: 203
          Y: 73
          Z: 279
          Yaw: -5.500085
          Pitch: 27.4

 

Have a look at my fully automated minigame/arena system I made for a friend here: https://www.github.com/storm345/ac - feel free to use any of the code if needed! Hope this helps

 

bump, Still need help :/

 

You can save the arena to a file (.schematic) and after the game ends, you can then import the arena.

 

Thanks, but this isn't what I want, I want it so it gets the arenas listed in the config file, and will then play through the arenas like a list of games.

 

Ok but with the .schematic files you can reset your arenas.

 

oh yeah! thanks mate!

Quick method for resetting an arena.

 

Thats really cool an all but I still need to know how I can get the arenas from the config file so I can run them automatically.

 

kieronwiltshire
Get all the maps as a list, get a random number from the random number generator, generate it from 0 to the list's size. * Then do list.get(RANDOMNUMBER) and you'll have your arena

Where the star is, insert a check to see if it's equal to the last arena incase you don't want back to back arenas being played.

 

Yeah but thats the thing I can't get the maps from the config, I don't know how. I need an example, The config is shown above.

ConfigurationSecction.getKeys(false)?

 

kieronwiltshire

Create your own Arena object with all the properties you want, and then add the arenas from the config into a HashMap on startup and when you want to reload.

 

Everyone still isn't listening I need an example! I don't understand how I would do it. I know how, just don't understand what to use and how to use it.

 

Ok ill will make a pastebin explaining https://www.github.com/storm345/ac later! (As you requested in the email)

 

If you're still here, and you'd still like help, tag me again and I'll show you how to do it.

 

I don't blame you, that guy does not know how to organize code.
