Solved Pvp counter help

Hi. I'm working on my plugin and I wanted to add a sign that displays the total amount of pvp kills on the server. If anyone knows the coding on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks for the help.




I'm looking for something like this.

 

when the player clicks the sign, get the username of the player and then the kills, once you got the kills update the sign with the number of kills the player has got. This should be fairly easy to do

 

The problem i'm having is 'storing' the amount of players then have been killed.
I'm quite new to this.

 

what about in the config file?

 

NoLiver92 Store the total kills in the config? How would i do this?

 

This is one of the basic skills for a bukkit plugin developer and is contained in the plugin tutorial. here.

I suggest you go through the tutorial before starting more complex plugins

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDead (PlayerDeathEvent e) {
if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
getConfig().set("pvpKills", plugin.getConfig().getInt("pvpKills") + 1);
saveConfig();
}
}

 

Mattigins ok, you have to have a key for each player otherwise all the players will have the same kill count.

Code:java

int kills = plugin.getConfig().getInt(e.getPlayer()+".pvpKills") + 1;
getConfig().set(e.getPlayer()+".pvpKills", kills);

this code will get the kills for each player and then set them. I also suggest when the player joins the server you make sure they are in the config, if not create them or youll get an error at this point. Read the tutorial and it will chow you the setup and hopefully you'll understand this.

 

Thanks all.

 

That is all well and good but in his initial post he said he wanted to get the total pvp kills for the server.

 

Mattigins My mistake but knowing both is still useful.
