Disappear Items on the Ground

Ok, I was wondering that when a player dies he will drop all of his items but only for 10 seconds then they will disappear. How would I do this?

Anyone?

 

When the player dies, save all the items so that you are able to find them again with your plugin, then start a sync delayed task which removes the items after 10 seconds if they are still there. That's my idea

So do you want to delete the items after 10 seconds?

 

The Gaming Grunts
Yes, after 10 seconds I want them gone...

 

Basically you need to listen for the PlayerDeathEvent and then schedule a delayed task to clear the items. The code should look like this:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(final PlayerDeathEvent event){
 
        getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
 
            @Override
            public void run() {
                event.getDrops().clear();
                Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Drops cleared!");
            }
 
        }, 200L); //200 ticks = 10 seconds (20 ticks per second)
    }

I understand! Thanks!

The Gaming Grunts
When I put it in and tested it... it didn't work... :/ I have no errors or anything.

 

ajs333
code?

 

The Gaming Grunts
How much of dis coding chu want?
Here is the EventHandler:

Code:

 @EventHandler
        public void onDeath(final PlayerDeathEvent event){
   
            getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
   
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    event.getDrops().clear();
                }
   
            }, 100L);
        }

 

Is it in your main class? Did you register your events?

 

Yea, its in my main class and yes I registered events!

 

Yes, removing drops with clearing that getDrops() list somehow doesn't work, I already noticed that :/

 

ajs333
Hmm try this instead maybe:

Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){

 

The Gaming Grunts
Nope..

 

ajs333
It appears that the problem is that the timer is actually working, but the drops don't get cleared.

 

The Gaming Grunts
Ok, so how is that problem fixed? I'v been looking around and can't find anything...
What should I do?

What is the proper way to clear the droped items?

Can anyone help me... I really am confused and stuck...

 

The Gaming Grunts
Did you find how to do it?

 

ajs333
Is this in the main class?
If not, refer to a plugin variable:

xTrollxDudex
Yea, it is!

 

ajs333
Did you implement listener?

 

xTrollxDudex
Yea!

 

try this maybe it would work i found it at searching stuffs on google try it

Code:java

        Iterator list = player.getNearbyEntities(Double.parseDouble(args[1]), Double.parseDouble(args[1]), Double.parseDouble(args[1])).iterator();
        while (list.hasNext()) {
          Entity entity = (Entity)list.next();
          if ((entity instanceof Item)) {
            ((Item)entity).remove();

I've been trying to do this as well. I think what you can do is:

Code:java

//Call this itemspawn event method inside of your death event.
 
@EventHandler
public void onItemSpawn(ItemSpawnEvent e){
Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
e.getEntity().remove();
}
},10*20);
}

It gives me an error saying that "void is an invalid type for that variable."

 

ajs333
I think that is due to where you placed the @EventHandler.

Did you put the event inside of your other event method? That won't work.

You need to call onItemSpawn(); at the end of your death event.

Here?

Code:

@EventHandler
        public void PlayerDeath (PlayerDeathEvent e) {
            if (e.getEntity() == null) return;
            usedKit.remove(e.getEntity().getName());
            e.setDeathMessage(null);
            @EventHandler
                public void onItemSpawn(ItemSpawnEvent event){
                Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                        event.getEntity().remove();
                    }
                },10*20);
            }
        }

 

Code:

@EventHandler
        public void PlayerDeath (PlayerDeathEvent e) {
            if (e.getEntity() == null){
            return;
            }
            usedKit.remove(e.getEntity().getName());
            e.setDeathMessage(null);
          }
onItemSpawn();
}
@EventHandler
public void onItemSpawn(ItemSpawnEvent event){
                Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                        event.getEntity().remove();
                    }
                },10*20);
            }
        }

Hopefully this works right.
