Solved how to lock blocks efficiently?

Hey there!

I was writing a plugin to lock blocks (like WorldGuard), but I just want to lock single blocks

It works like that:

Every locked block is saved in a config file (.yml)

So the config looks like that:

Code:

File 1:
block1:
  owner: player1
  members:
    - member1
    - member2
  locked: true
  location: loc...

File 2:
block2....
and so on

And then every time when a player builds/breaks or interacts with a block I check if the block is in this config files

But somehow it takes very long when I have many blocks

So my question is : Is there a smart whay to lock this blocks efficiently ?

When yes I have a nother question ;D Is it possible to have more layers of locked blocks?

So for example I have a chest the is locked but the block was already locked
not the lock from the chest overwrites the old lock
But then I break the chest the old lock should be there again?

Thanks for your arwnsers! And sorry for my bad english

I would have the key of the block be the location that it's at, including the world.

For example:
128,64,98: // this would be at X:128 Y:64 Z:98

and then when you want to check if a block is locked, try and index the config at that key, if the config returns null, it's not locked. If it returns a value, then it's a locked block.

 

thanks for the awnser that helped alot... Sometimes I'm such an idiod... 1 file for all blocks is mutch simpler and faster!
Any idea how to fix the secound issue I asked?

Don't index the locks by their block type, index it by their location. That way, even if you break the chest (in your example), you will still have that location as a "locked block". Just make sure not to remove the location from the config.

 

jea thats an idea thanks!
