Solved Scoreboards, returning any players with a specific score.

Is it possible to get a player with a specific score? If you have any idea that'd be great!

 

@LuckehPickle What code do you have so far? Yes it's possible, but people won't spoon-feed you! Show us what you have and we will help you make it work.

 

@nverdier hahaha ok, I did alot of searching before hand and the closest thing I could find was getEntry(). heres my code

Code:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public void setupBoard(Player player){
        Scoreboard board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getNewScoreboard();
        Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("Prison", "dummy");
        Config config = new Config(main, "data");
      
        objective.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + "[" + ChatColor.WHITE + config.getString("Users." + player.getUniqueId() + ".Rank") + ChatColor.GOLD + "]");  
        objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
      
        objective.getScore("Money" + ChatColor.GRAY + ":").setScore(8);
        objective.getScore(ChatColor.GRAY + "$" + config.getInt("Users." + player.getUniqueId() + ".Money")).setScore(7);
      
        objective.getScore("Rankup" + ChatColor.GRAY + ":").setScore(6);
        objective.getScore(ChatColor.GRAY + "$10000").setScore(5);
      
        objective.getScore("Online Players" + ChatColor.GRAY + ":").setScore(4);
        objective.getScore(ChatColor.GRAY + "" + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length).setScore(3);
      
        objective.getScore("Website" + ChatColor.GRAY + ":").setScore(2);
        objective.getScore(ChatColor.GOLD + "atomichive.com").setScore(1);
      
        player.setScoreboard(board);
    }
  
    public void updatePlayerCount(Player player){
        Scoreboard board = player.getScoreboard();
        Objective objective = board.getObjective("Prison");
      
        //get the player with the score 3 and remove them
        //add a new player named Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length and set it with a score of 3
    }

 

Did you happen to find this?:

@1Rogue yes, but it only shows how to get a players score. or am I reading that wrong?

@1Rogue I can't only get the players score, because the player could be named anything. I need to instead get the player with a score of 3

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/org/bukkit/scoreboard/Scoreboard.html#getScores(java.lang.String)

Read that a little closer.

 

But doesn't that tell you the score of an entry? Whereas I'm trying to get the entry from a score. Whenever I try and use board.getScores() Eclipse says it must either be an Offline Player or a String. There is no option for an int. idk

 

What purpose would passing an int do? READ what the documentation says. READ what the string you pass to it does. READ what the returned value is. You cannot learn what the method does withing READING the documentation.

 

I have read it, several times now. getScores() returns all scores for the Entry that you pass, (a String). And in this situation that won't work. I instead need to get an Entry based on what Score it has (an int). Thats why I would pass an int (I do understand that it won't accept an int). The only thing I can think of now is Iterating through every Entry, getting its score and seeing if its equal to 3. Is that what you mean?

@1Rogue Thanks for your help, sorry for frustrating you but I eventually found that I could achieve this by Iterating through every Entry, and resetting any entries that equal 3, with the following code

Code:

public void updatePlayerCount(Player player){
        Scoreboard board = player.getScoreboard();
        Objective objective = board.getObjective("Prison");
      
        for(String s : board.getEntries()){
            if(objective.getScore(s).getScore() == 3){
                board.resetScores(s);
            }
        }
      
        objective.getScore(ChatColor.GRAY + "" + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length).setScore(3);
    }

Thanks for trying anyway, I know it can be extremely frustrating trying to help people with plugins.

Yup! That's what you would do (and subsequently achieved I believe).
