How to add players to team when they join

I made an arraylist and I want to add players to the teams on a playerjoinevent but I have four teams that they need to be added to so I do not want all the same thing. I was thinking getting a random number then checking to see what it then adding that player to that team.

 

if(listName.contains(p)){
list.add(p);
}else{
// do it for other teams.

 

calebbfmv wouldnt that just add to one team?

 

No, it doesn't. Use a for loop then check the number of players on team, see if their balanced, then add to accordingly.

 

Code:java

public class TeamManager() {
 
    private final HashMap<String, Team> teams = new ConcurrentHashMap();
 
    // after adding teams "red", "blue", "green", and "yellow".
 
    //...
 
    public List<String> getLowestTeam() {
        final List<String> back;
        for (String team : teams.keySet()) {
            if (back == null) {
                back = teams.get(team);
            } else if (back.size().compareTo(teams.get(team).size()) > 0) {
                back = teams.get(team);
            }
        }
        return back;
    }
 
}
 
class Team() {
 
    // Increment or decrement based on number of players
    private int count = 0;
 
    // ...
 
    public int size() {
        return this.count;
    }
 
}

 

1Rogue so this will not work

Code:java

public class PlayerJoin implements Listener{
 
    public static ArrayList<Player> RedTeam = new ArrayList<Player>();
    public static ArrayList<Player> BlueTeam = new ArrayList<Player>();
    public static ArrayList<Player> GreenTeam = new ArrayList<Player>();
    public static ArrayList<Player> YellowTeam = new ArrayList<Player>();
 
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoinEvent(PlayerJoinEvent e){
        if(RedTeam.size() < BlueTeam.size()){
            RedTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(BlueTeam.size() < RedTeam.size()){
            BlueTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(BlueTeam.size() < GreenTeam.size()){
            GreenTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(BlueTeam.size()< YellowTeam.size()){
            YellowTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(RedTeam.size() < GreenTeam.size()){
            GreenTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(RedTeam.size() < YellowTeam.size()){
            YellowTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(YellowTeam.size() < BlueTeam.size()){
            BlueTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(YellowTeam.size() < RedTeam.size()){
            RedTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(YellowTeam.size() < GreenTeam.size()){
            GreenTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(GreenTeam.size() < RedTeam.size()){
            RedTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(GreenTeam.size() < BlueTeam.size()){
            BlueTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }else if(GreenTeam.size() < YellowTeam.size()){
            YellowTeam.addPlayer(p);
        }
 
 
 
 
 
        }
 
    }

 

What if Red team has 47 player, blue team has 48 players, and yellow team has 5 players?

Also, don't store lists of players, use their names.
