Arena's made and detect chest then randomize

Hey,

how do you make when a arena is created, it detects the chests, logs their locations and when it starts randomizes the contents?

many thanks


(i would try myself and code it but i have no idea how to do it, the arena i have a way to do it, its just more the chest thing i need to know how to do it)

 

if(block.getType().equals(material.chest)){
//its a chest
}

 

its more how to loop through the selected arenas block to detect the chest

 

That depends on if you want to do a radial search or if you're saving the 'arena' in a cuboid/2 corner locations

How do you save the 'arena'? Just a location for players to spawn?

 

the arena is two corners, and the two corners get save and the spawns have to be set in the area

 

What I do is just create a command that when executed will toggle the ability to right click a chest and save its location to the config.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    String playerName = player.getName();

    if(event.getClickedBlock() != null && this.HashMapName.get(playerName)) {
        Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
        if(block.getType() == Material.CHEST) {
            Location loc = block.getLocation();
            //Save location to config
        }
    }
}

You can always of course just loop through all the blocks in a cuboid region and check if the block is a chest.
Need help with anything else?

 

Sort out the max xyz and min xyz of the two positions, you could probably use a comparator and switch to ease the process, unless fireblast709 has a better method (that isn't a radial search)

Then you can do:
for(int x=minx;x<maxx;x++) {
for (int y=miny;y<maxy;y++) {
for (int z=minz;z<maxz;z++) {
if (blockat xyz is chest) {
//do things
}
}
}
}

 

Barinade the method I know is Math.min(x,y) and Math.max(x,y)

 

In this case you could use
for (int x=Math.min(x1,x2);x<=Math.max(x1,x2);x++) { //x1 and x2 are the given x coordinates in both locations
//within range of the x coordinates, do the same for y1/y2 and z1/z2 for cuboid
}
Right?

 

Barinade yes
