player can only use a command at a specific area

Been a while I was trying to figure this out.

In some games and languages for example you can detect if a player is near a specific area for example

Code:

If(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, then the cords will go here))

So i was wondering of there is anyway of doing this in java bukkit

Basically i just want to let a player access for example cmd /test near for example coordinates -1, -1 -1 and if he isnt near then he will get a null message and wont be able to access the command

 

You would have to do if (x < target.xmax && x > target.xmin && y < target.xmax && y > target.xmin etc etc etc)

 

Mind giving me a example of it with any cmd and coordinates please? That will help a lot, i learn more by looking then reading/listening, im more of a visual person lol

 

Code:java

 
    /**
     * Checks if a point is within the bounds of 2 other points.
     */
    private boolean isIn(Location point, Location corner1, Location corner2) {
        Location min = getMin(corner1, corner2);
        Location max = getMax(corner1, corner2);
        return point.getWorld() == min.getWorld()
                && point.getX() > min.getX() && point.getX() < max.getX()
                && point.getY() > min.getY() && point.getY() < max.getY()
                && point.getZ() > min.getZ() && point.getZ() < max.getZ();
    }
 
    /**
     * Gets the min points of a location.
     */
    private Location getMin(Location l1, Location l2) {
        if (l1.getWorld() != l2.getWorld()) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }
        return new Location(l1.getWorld(), Math.min(l1.getX(), l1.getX()), Math.min(l1.getY(), l1.getZ()), Math.min(l1.getZ(), l1.getY()));
    }
 
    /**
     * Gets the max points of a location.
     */
    private Location getMax(Location l1, Location l2) {
        if (l1.getWorld() != l2.getWorld()) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }
        return new Location(l1.getWorld(), Math.max(l1.getX(), l1.getX()), Math.max(l1.getY(), l1.getZ()), Math.max(l1.getZ(), l1.getY()));
    }

So in that case you would use isIn() with the players location and the location of the 2 points.

 

How will I set to the point? For example one point is coordinates 1, 1, 1 and the other point is 3,3,3? This is kinda confusing to be honest lol

 

new Location(player.getLocation().getWorld),1,1,1);
For example.

 

That ik but where will i place it for example in your code, since I dont see any specific variable to set the two points

 

The points are those passed to the method. I suggest you come back when you know a little bit more about Java programming, I have given you *all* the code.
