Solved Is there a way to get a certain amout of players in an ArrayList?

For my ultra hardcore I have it so you queue to get in the game. I have it in a list so players don't have to spam a join sign or command to get in the game.

 

oops forgot to put that in there (facepalm)
How could I get a certain amount from the list.

 

@Lightspeed Like a sublist?

 

No

 

@Lightspeed

Then what do you want?

 

Sorry my internet crashed I need to get a number of players from a array list

 

@Lightspeed

Sounds like you need a sublist, see teej's post.

 

@Lightspeed So do you need to actually grab a few players from that list and put them in a new list? List#subList(int, int). Or do you just want the length of the list? List#size()

@Skionz

Yes I need to grab an amount of players from a list and put them into another

 

@Lightspeed

 

Yes, sorry my pc has been broken for 8 months I completly forgot about bukkit.
So if i sound stupid I'm sorry

 

@Lightspeed This has nothing to do with Bukkit.

 

Code:

for (int i = 0; i < amountLoopTimes; i++) {
    secondList.add(firstList.get(0));
    firstList.remove(0);
    continue;
}

This will loop through the first list and transfer the object at the index 0 (next on the list) into the second list and then remove that object from the first list. Hopefully this helps @Lightspeed

 

Yes this is exactly what I need thank you (I'm a little new to bukkit c: )

 

@Lightspeed

That is exactly what List#sublist(int) does, except spread out over 4 lines and a lot more ugly. Not that this thread was solved on the third post or anything. *cough* if I had a dollar for every time someone reinvented the wheel except more poorly *cough*

 

That snippet didn't have any Bukkit in it... At all.
