    Hey. Just wanted to give you a written Thumps Up. Using your code for a Plugin I am writing currently. And it basicly reduced the time I need to write the plugin at arround 30%.
    Ok for you if I 'only' use your packets and your comments for giving you credits?^^

    Now this might just be me, but every time I try to use this Code I get an error with my createArena() and loadArena() :/

    I believe that I might be doing something wrong with my FileConfiguration ---> FileConfiguration path = plugin.getConfig(); "plugin" is set to my Main.java using ---> public Main plugin;

    Any ideas?

    Make sure that you actually HAVE an arena in the arena config file before calling loadArena()

    Also make sure that it saves the world aswell when you create an arena since by default it doesn't save the worldname

    JPG2000 What you might want to update (unless done so they actually look into the code)

    Instead of
    Code:java
    1. World world = Bukkit.getWorld("arenas." + keys + ".world");

    you need to do

    Code:java
    1. World world = Bukkit.getWorld(fc.getString("arenas."+keys+".world"));


    and in the createArena() method you are not saving the world there which might come in handy if you try to get it from the file on the loadArena() method ;)

    Edit: Oh and I just see. the complete loadArenas() Method is, the way it is right now not working if you ONLY set up the config file

    Pieman456 Could you show me how to save the locations when using set locations, I am a bit confused! I think you got it to work so could you spread the knowledge.

    Could someone help me?
    Code:java
    1. if (alias.equalsIgnoreCase("leave")) {
    2. ArenaManager.getManager().removePlayer(player, args[0]); //Would use our method made in our ArenaManager class, args[0] is the first argument they typed
    3. }


    It gives me an error at the player (player,args[o]); saying: player cannot be resolved to a variable. (same goes with the join command)

    I think this is because of my onCommand. Could someone tell me if this is true?


    OnCommand:
    Code:java
    1. public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {

    JPG2000 In the Arena Manager class , line 174. You can put
    Code:java
    1. arena.getPlayers().remove(s);

    instead of
    Code:java
    1. arena.getPlayers().remove(player.getName());


    Though it wouldnt make much of a difference , it is still shorter and faster.

    Developing Yeah, I missed that :p

    Krotass Everyone's first line of onCommand (besides the variable names) should be the same. Could you send me the whole method (onCommand)?

    Looks like you sort of copied the code. Change the "alias" to "cmd"
    You must also
    Code:java
    1. return true;

    On all your commands
    Edit:
    For example,
    Code:java
    1. public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
    2.  
    3.  
    4. if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
    5. sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Please use this command ingame");
    6. return true;
    7. }
    8.  
    9.  
    10. if (cmd.equalsIgnoreCase("join")) {
    11. //We would have to check the arguments first, but lets just be lazy! :p
    12. ArenaManager.getManager().addPlayer(player, args[0]); //Would use our method made in our ArenaManager class, args[0] is the first argument they typed
    13. return true;
    14. }
    15. return false;
    16. }

    Krotass Also check the args.length before you add the player to an argument, since it'll be null and thrown an error if the player typed one argument.

    I changed the code but the player section is not working (as before)

    Errors:
    player: player cannot be resolved to a variable

    Code:java
    1. if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("join")) {
    2. if(args.length == 0)
    3. ArenaManager.getManager().addPlayer(player, args[0]);
    4. return true;
    5. }

    Krotass You don't have a player variable made. Create on:
    Code:java
    1. Player player = (Player) sender;


    Now, I would like to get in something. Firstly, I honestly think that what your creating is way beyond your skill level, and as good as it is to push your abilities, this one is not working. You really don't (from my understanding and research) understand the fundamentals of java. By fundamentals, I mean pure basics, such as variables and objects and methods. If you tried to learn the other things in java (and later on Bukkit) you could create this mini game, using your own systems that works, and do all this in a breeze.

    SIDE NOTE: I don't like this kind of lecture, because its you and your life. Your welcome to go ahead and stay on this track, but trust me, you'll grow (and most likely quit out of rage) 10 times slower then if you start off with eiser things.

    BASICLY: Take a break for this, go learn (I recommend thenewbostone) and work your way up.

    JPG2000 I did not add this yes. The reason why is because it would give me an error in the addplayer selection as I think I said...

    Krotass That response made no sense. What I said is true; its erroring because you didn't have a player variable.

    BTW: Read my little short paragraph(s), its good advice man...

    I did read it and yeah I will start looking in the his tutorials again. It's just a pain watching them and I kind lost track of them at episode 23 or something when I realized there was more than 80 tutorials. I'll stop using this and stop begging you about stuff.

    Krotass No no no. Thats not what I said. I said take your foot off of the petal. Just start with easier things, and questions are fine.

    In ArenaManager (from line 215 to 217) you read the same value for the end location (always read endX var) from config:

    double endX = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endX");
    double endY = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endX");
    double endZ = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endX");

    The code would be the following:

    double endX = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endX");
    double endY = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endY");
    double endZ = fc.getDouble("arenas." + "keys." + "endZ");


    Anyway it's a very good tutorial. I'm using part of this code to write a plugin.
    If I have any suggestion I'll say here :)
    Keep up this work!!

    There is an error with the endPlayer method, in the for loop you call for arena.getPlayers() and then further down in the loop you have it remove the play from arena, causing an error. I fixed it by just removing that line, and after the loop I put this:
    Code:java
    1. arena.getPlayers().remove(arena.getPlayers());

    That should fix the error right up. :)
    PS: Honestly, I'm sure (Since arena.getPlayers() is an arraylist) you could probably just do this:
    Code:java
    1. arena.getPlayers().clear();

    Just to shorten it up even further.

    Suggestions:

    When adding a player to the arena, remove their active potion effects.
    Code:java
    1.  
    2. for (PotionEffect effect : player.getActivePotionEffects()) {
    3. player.removePotionEffect(effect.getType());
    4. }
    5.  

    and remember, grammar is important.
    Code:java
    1.  
    2. int playersLeft = arena.getPlayers().size();
    3. arena.sendMessage(player.getName() + " has left the Arena! " + playersLeft + (playersLeft==1?" player":" players") + " remain.");

    I have an question about the CreateArena method and the config!
    When edit your config, for example the null in your code.
    when i do
    Code:java
    1. Plugin p;
    2. FileConfiguration fc = plugin.getConfig();
    but it give me an nullpointerException!

    And question two: You have in the CreateArena Method, spawn points for join start and end!
    Code:java
    1. ArenaManager.getManager().createArena(args[0], player.getLocation(), player.getLocation(), player.getLocation(), i);
    2. // createArena(arena, joinlocation, startlocation, endlocation, maxplayers);

    But how do i sets those spawns not at the same time?
