A few questions needed to be answered!

Ok, I've got a few questions that I need answered to help make a few plugins for my server.
1) How can you reset a minigame arena? Could I do a world restart or something else?
2) How can I generate a chunks of land like in skyblock?
3) How to teleport a random player to a location and to do the same with more players without teleporting a player again?
Thanks for the help!

 

1 and 2 use worldedit api.

3 iterate list of players and generate random location each iteration.

 

Will this work, still kind of new to plugins. Also I don't know how to get source code, but I know how to generate a cube like worldedit. Would it be like that but on a higher scale?

Code:java

for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
    p.teleport(location);
}

 

Epixpenguin That would teleport everyone online, you need to make it choose a random player from the online players.

 

So how would I do that? Btw, the plugin will be on a separate server where it will be used for only about 6-12 players/

 

Epixpenguin Like BillyGalbreath said, you have to iterate through the online players and randomly select one. Then once that person is selected, add them to a list and check through that list and make any in it not able to be randomly selected again.

 

BDKing88 well I still a noob at plugins so I didn't know what he meant by iterate through the players.

 

Epixpenguin Iterate through the players means go through the players.

 

I know what iterate means but as in the code to iterate players.

Anyways you shouldn't act so ignorant at someone if they don't know how to code something. Just because they don't know it means you should show them how to do it instead so they don't fail at coding.

Epixpenguin You could use Java's Random class for generating a random number to use to get a random Player from Bukkit#getOnlinePlayers()
And for WorldEdit API, you'd simply go and look for WorldEdit's javadocs (or source-code) for the API, something a simple google search can find

So like creating a random?

Code:java

class pineapple{
    public void static main(String args()){
    Random r = new Random();
    int i = 0;
    i = r.nextInt(2);
        switch(i){
        case 1:
            System.out.println("One");
        case 2:
            System.out.println("Two");
        }
    }
}

Also what about resetting a map in a minigame, like spleef?

PHP:

Player getRandomPlayer() {
    Player[] playerArray;
    playerArray = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
    return playerArray[new Random().nextInt(playerArray.length)];
}

As for the resetting of the map, I would turn off world-saving, then restart the server when the game is finished.

 

Epixpenguin I'm not acting ignorant. I'm just not going to spoon feed you through every step, you'll never learn anything that way.
