[SIMPLE] Emerald Inventory Counter

I was hoping to add a competitive element to a ultra hardcore server by completing a weekly tally of emerald in inventory for all players. This way total emerald becomes something to fight over and becomes a scoreboard at the end of the week.

Essentially all I am looking for is a bukkit command to count the total emerald in each player's inventory and export it to a .txt file.

I might try this

Does it matter if it is a .txt file? I mean, can it be a .yml file?

Does it count offline players?

Thanks for having a look at this!

It would be nice to count all the players on the server including offline players. I plan on resetting the world every week so it would wipe the old players off the server.

The type of file doesn't matter too much. I just wanted something easy to copy and paste onto a website so it can be used as a scoreboard.

For Example:

:layer Name::.............................................::Score::
---------------------------------------------------------
PlayerName1...........................................................16
PlayerName2............................................................8
PlayerName3............................................................6
PlayerName4............................................................1

Again the format doesn't matter too much, that is just a suggestion. I'll be happy with anything you could come up with.

Thanks again!

 

Does anyone know the bukkit function that searches player inventory?

 

I will make it so when you do /countemerald it outputs it into the config.yml!

I will also do it so it outputs all of the players names and scores in no particular order, then finds the top 5!
e.g.:

Code:

Winners:
  First:
    Player:
    Score:
  Second:
    Player:
    Score:
  Third:
    Player:
    Score:
  Fourth:
    Player:
    Score:
  Fifth:
    Player:
    Score:
All-players:
  Player: score
  Player: score
  Player: score
  Player: score
  Player: score
  etc

Also does it need to count offline players inventories as well?

Oop.
EDIT: Oops.

 

Sounds good! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

I don't know if it is a lot of extra work, but having the players sorted by amount of emerald would definitely be nice.
