@a, @r and @p tags for commands.

What is the best way to make "Player Selectors" work for custom created commands?

 

@Bammerbom
Get the argument, check its letter. E.G:
if(myArgument equals "@a"){
for(All players online){
// Do my thing here
}
}

 

@Bammerbom You mean for a command from Console/a Player? Because if you want this for a command block, it's already implemented, and you don't need to put it into your plugins

 

I mean for players etc.

Is there a simple way to convert things like @a[r=10,etc] to a list of players?

 

If bukkit did this already for command blocks, can't I just copy that?

 

Code:java

 
public Player getPlayers() {
for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
return player;
}
return null;
}
 
if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("@a") {
getPlayers().runcommand
}
 

May this works.

 

@MaTaMoR_
That code wouldnt even work.

Which class is used in vanilla for playerselector?

 

Code:java

 
//--------------------- @a ---------------------\\
public void runCommandAll(String command) {
    for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        player.performCommand(command);
    }
}
//--------------------- @r ---------------------\\
public void runCommandRandom(String command) {
    List<Player> players = Arrays.asList(Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers());
    Player player = players.get(new Random().nextInt(players.size()));
    player.performCommand(command);
}
//--------------------- @p ---------------------\\
public HashMap<Player, Double> getNearPlayers(Player player) {
    List<Entity> entitys = player.getNearbyEntities(50, 50, 50);
    HashMap<Player, Double> players = new HashMap<Player, Double>();
    for(Entity entity : entitys) {
      if(entity instanceof Player) {
        Player nearplayer = (Player) entity;
        double distance = nearplayer.getLocation().distance(player.getLocation());
        players.put(nearplayer, distance);
    }
    }
    return players;
}
public void runCommandNear(Player player, String command) {
        Map.Entry<Player,Double> maxEntry = null;
        for(Map.Entry<Player, Double> entry : getNearPlayers(player).entrySet()) {
            if (maxEntry == null || entry.getValue() > maxEntry.getValue()) {
                Player nearplayer = entry.getKey();
                nearplayer.performCommand(command);
            }
      }
}
 

 

@MaTaMoR_ But this doesnt support things like @a[r=10]

 

That's easy...

Code:java

 
public void runCommandAll(Player player, String command, Integer radius) {
    List<Entity> entitys = player.getNearbyEntities(radius, radius, radius);
    for(Entity entity : entitys) {
        if(entity instanceof Player) {
            Player players = (Player) entity;
            players.performCommand(command);
        }
    }
}
 

 

Yes, but there are more than just radius.

 

So create a system for everything, i'm not gonna do all for you . ... That's all .

 

@Bammerbom
You could try digging around in the shadowy realm of NMS and copy what you need.
EDIT: After a few minutes of browsing, I remembered that the shadowy realm of NMS is so for a reason. Writing your own parser will be way faster.

 

@Bammerbom I have made such a Parser really quick since I think it's usefull and allot of people would surely like to have it I'm just gonna try it out a bit, but I think it's gonna be done tomorrow It'll be added to my Library (PreLib) when it's done and I'm gonna hit up
