Hunger Games Style Spawning System

Hello,
I am wondering how to make it so when a player joins it teleports them to a certain block.

 

TCGDNoku player.teleportTo(loc); ?

 

CaptainBern I know but every one would spawn on the same block

 

TCGDNoku
Have a number. Increase it as people join. Teleport to that position in a list of locations.

 

TCGDNoku Then loop trough the players and spawn each to a random/diffrent block?

 

xTrollxDudex Ok Cool! I will try that

CaptainBern Randoms wont be up for the job

xTrollxDudex It didn't work for some reason

xTrollxDudex Maybe you should show him some code, I would but i have no idea how to do this.

PHP:

int count = 0;
List<Location> spawns = new ArrayList<Location>();
 
//add player method
player.teleport(spawns.get(count));
count++;

I created a podium object which held a position, and a boolean if it was occupied.
Then I did a simple for each loop on players, and incremented an integer. If the podium selected was full, select the next

 

I was looking at your code you put up, what's a .map file and how is a regular world used to generate that .map file? Sorry, I saw that and it caught my eye, hoping you can shed some light on this

You could've made your own post instead of bumping a 3 month old thread

If you notice the GameMap field on line 24 in that class, it's not initialized. This field is initialized on line 46-48 in that class, it chooses a random map off a transferred array of GameMap's from HG#getMaps() on line 91 and 623 in HG.java

I still use similar code, but instead of making the object serializable (because it's a waste of bytes and time), I just store all podiums in a single file.

Any extensions in the source you don't recognize, I probably made up.

Yeah, sorry about bumping a 3 month old thread, but I saw this portion and asked how it worked, sorry about that. Now, I understand that you are storing your object podium in a local file that consists of data; however, on your "addspawn" command, wouldn't there be a NPE because there is no GameMap? If you're in a world and run that command, there is no .map file for that world yet for it's podiums, so I can't see why it would not give off an NPE. Sorry, just having a little curiosity to this code, that's all

 

BajanAmerican

You're supposed to configure the maps and then it would create the file, so there should be no NPEs

Or tell the player that there are no maps if the size of the map is 0 and ban them.
