Creating Teams

Hey there,

I want to create a new Minigame and herefore I need the Players to be split up into 4 different teams.
I already tried different ways but it never worked.

Any Ideas how I can randomly move the players into different teams?
Kind Regards

 

I have the same problem. I have this Idea but it doesn`t work.

Code:

List<String> players = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            players.add(player.getName());
        }
 
        Collections.shuffle(players);
 
        int Teamgroesse = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length / 4;
        int team = 1;
        int Spielerzahl = 1;
        while (team < 5) {
 
            for (int x = 1; x <= Teamgroesse; x++) {
 
                Main.Team.put(players.get(x), team);
                players.remove(x);
                Spielerzahl++;
                x--;
            }
 
            team++;
        }

Can Someone help us?

 

Use some player metadata to associate a team identifier to the player, there is a tutorial here:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial#Metadata

 

We'll when they join you could put them onto teams like this
if(team1.length> team2.length){
team2.put(p.getName()):

Did this on my phone so it is not perfect but basically you check how many people are in team on when the player joins the server if team on is greater than team to you put them on team to, and you and do the same for the rest.

 

The Teams should create when the game starts.

 

Yea same for me, when there are 8 Players a countdown will start and just before the countdown ends and the players get teleported the should be put in a team.
Any ideas?

We'll first I would loop through all the players on the server then divide the length in half and put half on red and half on blue.
