How To Check If A Player Is Moving In Bukkit

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to check every half a second or so if a player is moving and then put them into a map (which I can do!).

Thanks in advance,
Ben

Yeah i understand that, but how would I work out wether he is just walking and then when he stops he gets removed from a map.

 

Im new to java but maybe onPlayerMoveEvent cancel > ur code

 

If you wanted to check every half second, you would set up a repeating task with the scheduler, and have it loop through every player and check if "player.getVelocity().length() == 0", I believe.

 

What are you trying to do? There's probably a better way.

 

Well have you ever seen a Event Listener like

Code:

public void onDoingNothing(PlayerDoingShitallEvent Event)

I believe he is right when he says add a repeating task.
Implement this method into your plugin and then add "startTimer();" to your onEnable method.

Code:

public void startTimer() {
        getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
 
              public void run() {
                  for(Player player : getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
                      if(player.getVelocity().length() == 0) {
                          if(yourMap.containsKey(player)) {
                              yourMap.remove(player);
                          }
                      }
                  }
               
              }
            }, 10L, 10L);
    }

Also because PlayerMoveEvent picks up all Movement including mouse movement you will need to check that the players velocity isn't equal to 0 before you add them to the hashmap.

 

Heyyy.... XD

 

I meant what is the goal...
