Solved Storing names + value

Hi bukkit, I have a problem. While I was making my pvpkits plugin, i wanted to add a value that contains a number off kills (killstreak). Before, i used an arraylist to store player names, but what is a better method to store player name + there killstreak?

 

If you want to map name->integer, you can use a HashMap<String, Integer>:

Code:

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

Look in the javadocs for the methods, the most important are:
- put
- get
- remove

 

hmhmm, interesting I tried to make a new class that stores the kills, deahts and killsteak. Then i made in the main class a new method that returns the values. But how do i display them to the user?

This is what i have:

Main Class:

Code:

package me.dutch_kids.pvpkits;
 
import java.util.HashMap;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class PvPkitsMain extends JavaPlugin
{
   
    public static HashMap<String, PvPkitsPlayerData> playerData = new HashMap<String, PvPkitsPlayerData>();
   
    public static PvPkitsPlayerData getPlayerData(Player player)
    {
        return playerData.get(player.getName());
    }
}

and the PvPkitsPlayerData class:

Code:

package me.dutch_kids.pvpkits;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
 
public class PvPkitsPlayerData
{
 
    String holder;
    int kills;
    int deaths;
    int killstreak;
   
    public PvPkitsPlayerData(Player holder)
    {
        this.holder = holder.getName();
        kills = 0;
        deaths = 0;
        killstreak = 0;
    }
}

 

You need getters in PvPkitsPlayerData.

Code:

public int getKills() {
  return kills;
}

And you can access it in main with:

Code:

PvPkitsPlayerData data = getPlayerData(palyer);
player.sendMessage("You've got "+data.getKills()+" kills.");

 

But i get the values already? Or am i doing that wrong?

Edit so i have to replace
public PvPkitsPlayerData(Player holder)
{
this.holder = holder.getName();
kills = 0;
deaths = 0;
killstreak = 0;
}

with the int method?

 

I am sorry, I don't understand you. Your question was:

 

you could just store it to a hashmap like ase34 suggested which I think would be the easiest way of doing this

 

yes ik, but you told me that the PvPkitsPlayerData class needed getters So i just have to add them to the class or do they replace the

Code:

String holder;
    int kills;
    int deaths;
    int killstreak;
   
    public PvPkitsPlayerData(Player holder)
    {
        this.holder = holder.getName();
        kills = 0;
        deaths = 0;
        killstreak = 0;
    }

?

 

Add of course. How would you save the values otherwise? I recommend learning Java basics before creting a mod.
