Sub Routines

Is there anything like Sub Routines for a java plugin, e.g Create a subroutine and then i call like checkScore() it will run that code?

 

What you mean sub routine?
You mean a method?
You mean a thread?

 

Method, so i can say Call that method to check a players score

 

@JooshYT Yes, they exist, and you can call them as much as you want

 

Would i just do
public static void checkPoints {

}
then how would i call it?

 

I tried public static void essentials() {

}
but that dosnt work, what would i need to do instead?

 

@JooshYT Show what have you tried.

 

Code:

     //Inventory sorter
     public void inventory(){
         for(Player player: getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
             //------------------------
             //Set players inventory up
             //------------------------
             //Set armour
             ItemStack chestplate = new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE);
             player.getInventory().setChestplate(chestplate);
             ItemStack boots = new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_BOOTS);
             player.getInventory().setBoots(boots);
             ItemStack hat = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM);
             player.getInventory().setHelmet(hat);
             //------------------------
             ItemStack woodSword = new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_SWORD);
             player.getInventory().setItem(0, woodSword);
             ItemStack infiniBow = new ItemStack(Material.BOW);
             player.getInventory().setItem(1, infiniBow);
         }
     }
     

This works here, is there any way i could add an envhantment to the item stacks?

 

@JooshYT There are four different methods, they are available in the documentation

 

ok, thanks. So i dont have to create a new post is there a way to create a variable that includes their name e.g.
String score + player.getName() = "500";

then i can change their score by doing like

score + player.getName() =+ 10;

so i can set a player to have a individual score?

 

@JooshYT Mmmmm your question is hard to understand, but if it is what I think you may want to take a look at Maps

 

i dont know what i should look for in there.
I need like it to store players scores on the server but its only emp so im not storing to a config. And as the variable to keep their score number in i want the variable to be "scoreTheirName" as a string.

 

@JooshYT A String it's expensive if you want to modify it

Use a Map<UUID, Integer>, store the UUID of the player (or you can even store their name, since you're going to use it and you say it's only temporal) and the score as the Integer

 

Im not sure how i would set that as a variable. would it be like
int scoreMap<p.getName(), Integer> = 500;

 

I will agree with @timtower, before you start bukkit API that is based on java, learn java! Or at least the basics! What you are asking here is a java 101 basic, one of the first things you learn,
So spend some time N effort to learn java, it will make things much easier to understand and process.
Cheers!
