Solved Arranging Players to Freeze with ArrayLists

Hi. I have coded a scheduledrepeating task with the getServer().getScheduler()..... method and I have been wanting to add all Players from queue (ArrayList<String>) to frozen (ArrayList<String>) so the players can't leave their current positions until the countdown gets to a certain number.

Here's my code just in case:

Code:

//ArrayLists (All classes)
 
ArrayList<String> queue = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<String> frozen = new ArrayList<String>();
 
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 
//Countdown Code (Countdown.class)
 
if(number == 1224){
frozen.addAll(queue);
queue.clear();
            }
 
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Freeze Listener (PlayerListener.class)
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e){
    Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if(frozen.contains(p.getName())){
    e.setTo(e.getFrom());
    }
    }
 
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

For some reason, I think the one that didn't trigger was the Listener. It could have been the countdown.

If it was the action that didn't trigger, would someone tell me how to make an arrayList accessible from other Java classes?

If not, would someone tell me the error?

Thanks,

FabeGabe

 

I think you need to do (Player).getName to save it in the arraylist

 

Something I discovered a while back, setting the player's passenger to himself toggles a freeze effect, it doesn't make the player spazz out either.
Not sure if it still works, that was over a year ago.

Edit2: Ignore the dumb for-loop, lol. I was young and more stupid than I am now.

 

Barinade What I'm looking for is how to do that, yes, but while a repeating task is going on. In my case, a countdown. Not by a command.

 

Use runTaskLater if you aren't doing so.
I was sharing a better method, that's all.

 

Barinade I respect your methods on doing your plugins but I said what I was trying to do is freeze them or move them to a different arraylist once the countdown hits a certain number (1225) and unfreeze them once the countdown hits 1200. Would I have to do your method in those certain lines of code?

 

runTaskLater

 

Barinade Still not what I am looking for...

Probably PogoStick29 can help on this.

 

It is what you're looking for, you just don't know how to use it.

 

loooool RunTaskLater is good

 

//freeze players here
getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLater(new Runnable() {
//unfreeze players
},100L); //100L is the time in ticks before the code is ran. 20L = 1 second. 100L = 5 seconds.

If you want to access variables from your plugin class in a separate class, add this constructor
Plugin plugin;
public MyCustomClass(Plugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
}
//use plugin.myVariable to access variables in your main plugin class

 

MisterPhiloe I just don't know how to use runtasklater.. >_>

Barinade I use a different class for the countdown.
getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLater(new Runnable() {
would be
getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLater(new Countdown()
in my code.

Congratulations then? I don't care how you create the runnable, just saying you should runTaskLater in this case.

 

Barinade I have no idea how to use runTaskLater. :/ I explained to MisterPhaloe.

First off, I was wrong before. runTaskLater calls for three arguments, plugin, runnable, and long

getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new MyRunnable(), 100l); //where 100l is 5 seconds, 20 per second

 

FabeGabeMC I probably could.

Here's a video on cool downs (which you can adapt to unfreeze all players when the "cooldown" ends:

 

PogoStick29 Doesn't seem to work. I tried but it gave me a bunch o' errors:

PogoStick29 Well, add me on Skype? Skype: megazoroark16.

Here's the important line:

1. Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R1.entity.CraftItem cannot be cast to org.bukkit.entity.Player

Looks like you forgot to check if the entity was a player in whatever event your are using.

 

PogoStick29 just add me on Skype. i will explain what the problem is in more detail.

 

Or an easier way would be to use the System.currentTimeMillis() method.

 

*bump*

Please help me guys!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Do debug code, figure out what doesnt happen.

 

FabeGabeMC
You can only bump once every 24 hours.

Everyone else has told you how to fix it: nobody is going to add you on skype if you are being ignorant. This issue should be solved by now, in all honesty.

 

AoH_Ruthless I never bumped twice. Plus, I fixed it. For some reason, the

Code:java

if(number == 1224){
frozen.addAll(queue);
queue.clear();
            }

didn't trigger.

 

FabeGabeMC
That's great you fixed it!

But, you are bumping significantly if you look at your posts.
There is an edit tool, instead of adding multiple things in multiple posts.

 

AoH_Ruthless ah ok.

 

FabeGabeMC

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e){
if(frozen.contains(p.getName){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
p.teleport(p);
}
}

 

Ugh, why exactly are you teleporting the player to it's self?

 

Wolfey it wont it will just tele-port them to where they where standing. so you really frozen there intill you get remove off of frozen arraylist

 

I believe the method you're looking for is this.

Code:java

e.setTo(e.getFrom());
