Sounds fun

 

but once again im stuck with where to begin with coding. lol, i come up with interesting ideas but dont know what to code.

 

You have to start with a command that binds 2 players together
Then maybe a maximum distance between the 2 players, outside that distance they won't share anything

And then I would start with sharing pain

 

lol this is all greek to me. so i would need to use a flatfile or yml that would hold the twins. but see the major issue is how do i make multiple groups of twins?

examples:
earl
gump
-
will
dave
-
stephano
strelok.

 

I would put a twin pair per row, and use a delimiter like a space between them, then you'll get something like this

earl gump
will dave
stephano strelok

Then you have to load the textfile, split it into an array with /n as delimiter, then you'll get the couples
Then filter out the empty rows, and split the rest with space as delimiter, then you'll get the players in the twin couples




Edit: also str_replace all "/r" to "", because some people might edit it with notepad, and it uses "/r/n" as a newline

 

AUGH MY BRAIN IT BURNS! what who said that.... this is an interesting idea but i have no clue how to do this hahaha.

so wait i would do this?

/twins dave earl

so you would have to get the players into a string

" player.toString(""); "????

hmm ill have to give it a try. when i get home tonight. after some thinking it doesnt sound THAT bad. but eh i dont have the determination lol....

 

Hmmmm how to explain this, I know java, but not the bucket api, so I'll explain that in psuedocode
I'll explain it in parts

// add twin
Player typs /twin player1 player2
Create textfile to save, if it doesn't exist yet
Check if player1 and player2 are online
Check if player1 and player2 aren't paired yet:

Code:

boolean playerAlreadyTwinned = false;

String playerName = get the players name;
String[] lines = get textfile's data;

for( String line : lines )
{
    if( playerAlreadyTwinned )
    {
        break;
    }

    if( !line.equalsIgnoreCase("") ) // line isn't empty
    {
        String players[] = line.split(" "); // uses space as a delimiter
        {
            for( String player : players )
            {
                if( player.equalsIgnoreCase(playerName) )
                {
                    playerAlreadyTwinned = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

If they aren't paired yet (if playerAlreadyTwinned == false ), write this row in the textfile: player1+" "+player2

That's the code to pair players together

Now, on every damage the player gets, you must check if the player is paired, and if that player is online too.
Then you have to check if he's between 50 meter of that player.
And if so, the player should get only half the damage, and the other player should get half the damage too.

// share damage
Code to do everytime a player gets damage:

Code:

String myTwin = "";

String playerName = get the players name;
String[] lines = get textfile's data;

for( String line : lines )
{
     if( !myTwin.equalsIgnoreCase("") ) // he found his twin
     {
          break;
     }

     if( !line.equalsIgnoreCase("") ) // line isn't empty
     {
          String players[] = line.split(" "); // uses space as a delimiter
          for( int i=0; i<players.length; i++ )
          {
               for( int j=0; j<2; j++ )
               {
                    if( players[j].equalsIgnoreCase(playerName) )
                    {
                         myTwin = players[1-j]; // 1-j  turns 1 into 0, and 0 into 1
                         break;
                    }
               }
          }
     }
}

Check if myTwin is online, and if so, check if he's between the 50 meters from the player
Then share your damage with him

The best is to save a twin's name into java, so it won't have to 'search' his twin every time
That will reduce the lag allot

That's the code to share pain
