Getting all player locations

I need to get all the online players and then get all of their locations. I looked other places but I was still having trouble. I created an array for online players and one for locations.

Code:java

Player[] players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
 
ArrayList<Location> locations = new ArrayList<Location>();

How would I loop through it and play a sound at everyones location. I imagine with a for loop but Im not having any luck.

There are two ways to "iterate" (loop) through an array:

Code:java

Player[] players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
for(int i = 0; i < players.length; i++) {
    Player player = players[i];
}
for(Player player : players) {
}[/i]

(The second method is basically a short form for the first)

In the loop you can do anything you want with your players and it will be done to all players currently online, for example getting their locations etc.

For playing the sounds you don't need to store the locations in an list because you can just do player.playSound(...) and it will have the same effect but be more performance-effective.

 

Thanks

 

Zettelkasten you can just do

Code:java

for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
//code
}

 

Remember Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() will no longer return an Array. Be prepared to switch over to a Collection<Player>.
