How to assign a player input (from server chat) to a variable?

Hey guys.
I have a problem what I cant fix:
I want to do a Time command where the player can use the shortcut /tset (For time set) and then Day, Night, morning..

But if the player wants some special time in Ticks? (0 - 24000 in Minecraft)
I want to put the input from the chat into a variable and so I can set the time in ticks to what the player typed in the chat.
Any help appreciated!
(sorry for my bad english)

 

@JustFrozen You can get the time specified by usings 'args[0]' for the first argument. (/tset first second third etc)
Then parse the string to an integer and then do what you want with it.

 

@KarimAKL


Thats what i want to do, i already tried the args[0] method

 

You need to check if the argument is an integer first, so convert the string to an int.
Then do a check to see if the number is greater or less than 24001.
Wrote this quickly so not sure if it works, but something like this:

Code:

} else if(Integer.valueOf(args[0]) != null) {
                int time = Integer.valueOf(args[0]);
                if(time > 0 && <= 24001) {
                    w.setTime(time);
                }
            }

 

Thank you all a lot guys!
You also know the method to save the current world in a String?
(the name of the world where the player is right now f.e. 'world' or a map for a gamemode 'Survivalgames24'

 

You can get the world from a Player object, player.getLocation.getWorld.getName and that will return a String of the world name.

 

@JustFrozen Another way to check if the argument is an integer:

Code:Java

try {
    int number = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    if (number > 0 && number < 24001) {
        //Do something
    } else {
        sender.sendMessage("Argument 1 needs to be between 0 and 24000");
        return true;
    }
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    sender.sendMessage("Argument 1 needs to be a number");
    return true;
}

 

I also did the thing with the world name so you can see in wich world the time changes


It works great thank you all!
