Checking if a player is in an area

Can someone please help me on how to check if a player is inside and area and if they are not they cannot execute a command, please paste your code

Thanks a lot!

 

onCommand
if(player.getLocation() == location

and

onPlayerMove()

 

Wow, honestly, this does not help me at all Why would you use onPlayerMove?

Edit: I was wanting to have a spawn area where they could walk around and if they are not within those coords then they cannot execute that command

 

Check their location when the command is executed.

 

Just use WorldGuard

 

Worldguard does exactly that

 

I am not wanting to use an alternate plugin...

 

then try hooking into world guard

 

Do you mean something like this?

Code:java

 
public boolean inArea(Location location1, Location location2, Location playerLocation){
    if(playerLocation.getBlockX() >= location1.getBlockX() && playerLocation.getBlockX() <= location2.getBlockX()){
        if(playerLocation.getBlockZ() >= location1.getBlockZ() && playerLocation.getBlockZ() <= location2.getBlockZ()){
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
 

Edit: Found out how to correctly post Java code (using the syntax BBCode tag).
Edit two, three and all after that probably: Trying out with the different syntaxes.

 

Wont work if you are standing in a negative coordinate

 

Ahh, thanks. I didn't think about that.
This might work, it did when I tested it.

Code:java

 
public boolean inArea(Location location1, Location location2, Location playerLocation){
    if((playerLocation.getBlockX() >= location1.getBlockX() && playerLocation.getBlockX() <= location2.getBlockX()) || (playerLocation.getBlockX() <= location1.getBlockX() && playerLocation.getBlockX() >= location2.getBlockX())){
        if((playerLocation.getBlockZ() >= location1.getBlockZ() && playerLocation.getBlockZ() <= location2.getBlockZ()) || (playerLocation.getBlockZ() <= location1.getBlockZ() && playerLocation.getBlockZ() >= location2.getBlockZ())){
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
 

 

I will make something for you when I get home in a few hours. Adding config files for multiple areas and stuff.

I am almost done with it

Here is my way of checking it.
