Reload function.

Reload Function: After firing 16 arrows with the shotgun bow it displays a message in chat it sends the player a reload message. When the message is displayed you can not fire after until you have finished 'reloading' if you change the weapon you were on while reload it cancels the reload. You must then change to that weapon again and it will start reloading again. <----- This is a plugin request i need to know how i would do something like this?

Also how would a add a scatter shot when firing arrows. eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOwDg5qQSCY (00:28)

 

use a hashmap and save how manny shots he left

 

have you got an example?

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

 

You will need to create a delayed task for the reload and create an "isCancelled" variable for the reload.

 

but how do i need to know if the bow needs to be reloaded?

 

Like posted above, create a hashmap of players and ammo count. Then when a player attempts to fire, check if they're ammo is greater than 0

 

have you got an example?

 

i cant tell if this belongs in the plugin request section or not.. put some code together and be creative, experiment a bit and if you still cant get it post the code here with a more specific question

 

HashMap<String, Integer> hm = new Map<String, Integer>();

 

Map<String, Integer> shots = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
Map<String, Boolean> reloading = new HashMap<String, Boolean>();

That will make the HashMaps for you. Then you should do something like the following....

 

Thanks mate! ill try this later!

 

would it be more efficient to use 1 hashmap? <String, Integer, Boolean>

 

Not possible.

 

really? i thought you could do that. looks like i should do some more research on hashmaps!

 

Take a look at How hashmaps work.

 

you are awesome.
