Walking on Water

As I do so that when a user tread water changes to ice, but the ice is temporary and then change the original block

 

@avent4dor

1. Create an arraylist for blocks
2. Create a runnable that will repeat after 0.25 seconds (5 ticks)
3. Loop through all the blocks in the arraylist. This will contain all the blocks that are ice, so you would loop through them all, set the block back to stationairy/still water and than clear the array
   
4. Loop through all the players online
5. set the block under their feed (if it is water) to ice
6. Add that block to the arraylist.
7. ???
8. profit

 

whyyyyyyyy!?!?

 

@Zombie_Striker ALL the blocks???? I know people say I worry too much about lag that hasn't happened yet, but looping through your world's hundred thousands of blocks every time a player moves WILL LAG

 

@teej107
Because those instances of the block's location need to be saved somewhere. Although it could be saved to a Collection , Map or even a config, but an arraylist is "easier" and gets the job done.


@Hex_27
Wrong

All the blocks in the ARRAYLIST. Unless there are a hundred thousand players online (which then this one plugin would be the ONLY thing that would cause lag), there will just be the same amount of blocks in that arraylist as players online.

 

I want something like this video, give me a code please

 

@avent4dor

HA HA HA, That's not going to happen on this forum.

And we should not have to watch a video to understand what you want.

Also, I already gave a step-by-step process of what to do.

 

Look at my status on my profile.

The Plugin Requests section is what you need.

 

@teej107
Then what should be used? What would be a better way of storing the location (besides arraylists and maps/collections, I have no idea what you're think of)?

 

@Zombie_Striker What if I told you that an ArrayList is a Collection? It is! Many different Collections behave differently and have their strengths and weaknesses. I would think about sticking with a Set, preferably a HashSet.
