Top Stats

If I have a config that looks like:

Code:

(Playername):
  Wins: 1
(Playername):
  Wins: 2

ETC.
How do I get the top scorers in order to make a scoreboard/command? (I know how to make scoreboard and command just not sure how to get individual names and scores of the highest)

 

you could read from your config (to refresh) all two secs
and create 5 (or however players you wan't in your scoreboard) variables. the first variable will be the first player loaded from config, then check the next and place player in 1 place in second etc. load nextplayer check if bis wims are higher than the fith... if check if higher than
4 etc etc.

 

MexMaster But how do I check if their wins are higher?

 

wait a sec. i will start my pc and code a snippet

here:
with '//set the players as numbers...' i mean it would look like this in config:

Code:

players:
  '0':
    name: TrollFreak01
    wins: 5
  '1':
    name: Baboooo
    wins: 11
  '2':
    name: Whaaaaaat
    wins: 2
  '3':
    name: xxgamerxx
    wins: 27

you would need to set the every player in config when he joins for the first time (check in playerjoinevent if the player is set in config or so...)

Code:java

//set the players as numbers...
 
int placeOne = -1;
int placeTwo = -1;
int placeThree = -1;
int placeFour = -1;
int placeFive = -1;
 
boolean nextPlayer = true;
int currPlayer = 0;
 
while(nextPlayer){
 
if(config.isSet("players." + currPlayer + ".name")){
 
int currPlayerWins = config.getInt("players." + currPlayer + ".wins");
 
if(currPlayerWins > config.getInt("players." + placeOne + ".wins")){
 
placeFive = placeFour;
placeFour = placeThree;
placeThree = placeTwo;
placeTwo = placeOne;
placeOne = currPlayer;
 
}else if(currPlayerWins > config.getInt("players." + placeTwo + ".wins")){
 
placeFive = placeFour;
placeFour = placeThree;
placeThree = placeTwo;
placeTwo = currPlayer;
 
}else if(currPlayerWins > config.getInt("players." + placeThree + ".wins")){
 
placeFive = placeFour;
placeFour = placeThree;
placeThree = currPlayer;
 
}else if(currPlayerWins > config.getInt("players." + placeFour + ".wins")){
 
placeFive = placeFour;
placeFour = currPlayer;
 
}else if(currPlayerWins > config.getInt("players." + placeTwo + ".wins")){
 
placeFive = currPlayer;
 
}
 
//Set scoreboard (you need to get the name of players like config.getString("players." + currPlayer + ".name"))
 
}else{
 
nextPlayer = false;
 
}

try this, haven't tested it

btw: if nobody has killed anybody the first player loaded will be place one
so you can improve this alot i think

MexMaster Ill try this.

 

working?

 

I reread the code and saw that I would have to redo the entire stats. If I redo the stats Id prefer to do SQL but since I do not want to redo the stats file I'd like to avoid redoing it at all costs

 

Anyone have a solution?

 

wait what do you wan't now? SQL?

 

MexMaster How to use my current stats configuration and still get the top stats.

 

loop through all players (Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers() and Bukkit.getPlayers()[if offline players don't return the online players]) and check their stats with config.getString(p.get name() + "Wins")

and then set it like I said above but with strings and set their names than set their number under which they are saved in config

 

MexMaster Do I have t log every time a player joins so I can get offline players?

 

Hello The_Fancy_Whale

(I'm PorterK from bzmc.us )

Yeah it's easy, just use

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoinEvent(PlayerJoinEvent e){
 
}

 

ColaCraft Yes I know how to but would i have to make a separate players.yml file to keep track of offline players?

 

Code:java

File p = new File("/plugins/MyPlugin/data/" + p.getName() + ".yml");
 
 

Something like that?

 

No I am not looking for code. I am curious if in order to use Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers() do I need to log all of the players that join or does bukkit do that automatically?

 

You could implement a sorting algorithm to sort HashMaps by their values, and return an ArrayList ordered by the highest scores;

Code:java

public ArrayList<String> sortMap(Map<String, Integer> toSort) {
    ArrayList<String> fin = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (String player : toSort.keySet()) {
        for (int i=0;i<fin.size();i++) {
            String check = fin.get(i);
            if (toSort.get(check) > toSort.get(player)) {
                fin.add(i, check);
                break;
            }
            fin.add(check);
        }
    }
    return fin;
}

And then just loop through them, and add them one by one.

 

Maurdekye ColaCraft MexMaster But I take it there is no easy way to simply say. Find the highest number in this file. Now tell me the name its under?

 

The Fancy Whale

Code:java

List<String> names = getConfig().getStringList("players");
HashMap<String, Integer> scores = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for (String name : names)
    scores.put(name, getConfig().getInteger(name));
sortMap(scores).get(0);

That is assuming of course, you have your config formatted like so;

Code:

players:
  - TheFancyWhale
  - DYNAbeast
  - PorterK
 
scores:
  TheFancyWhale: 5
  DYNAbeast: 2
  PorterK: 56

 

Format is:

Code:

(playername)
  stats: (number)

 

The Fancy Whale If you want a list of players from the config, that has to be under a separate option. As far as I know there's no way to get every entry in a certain level as a list of strings.

 

Maurdekye Ill try formatting the stats file like that and ill get back to you. Thanks!

 

I am trying to implement this code but I am having trouble

 

i would them directly into a arraylist (player names) and then sort with the stats in config

algorithms: sorting-algorithms.com there are many you only need to port to java

 

I might be confused as well, as I see the answers fly all over the place, all assuming something else.

But I figure you have a .yml file with all the player that managed to set a score, correct? So for example: I joined the server, set a score, I left the server. The file would then be:

Code:

Stoux2:
  stats: (number)

If that's the case you can easily get all of the playernames out of the config using 'getKeys(false)'. Now you can do:
config.getInt(playername + ".stats"); to get the score. You now have the ability to sort them, or do what ever you want with those scores. Here's an example (Recommend running this in A-Sync btw):

Code:java

//Class for the Entries
    private class StatEntry implements Comparable<StatEntry> { //Comparable is an interface that you can implement. It allows you to the Collections.sort() this item.
 
        private String player;
        private int stat;
 
        public StatEntry(String player, int stat) {
            this.player = player;
            this.stat = stat;
        }
 
        @Override
        public int compareTo(StatEntry o) {
            return o.stat - stat; //Might be the other way around, always confused by that lol.
        }
 
    }
 
 
 
//In some method:
        ArrayList<StatEntry> entries = new ArrayList<>();
 
        Set<String> list = config.getKeys(false); //Get all of the playernames in the Config
        for (String playername : list) {
            int stat = config.getInt(playername + ".stats"); //Get the score
            entries.add( //Add a new StatEntry to the list
                new StatEntry(playername, stat)
            );
        }
 
        Collections.sort(entries); //Sort the list

 

wait, ok his last answer to this thread was, that he has trouble with implementing this...
The Fancy Whale could you please give us more information about your trouble?

 

MexMaster Stoux I guess I am just confused once I have read all of the names. How do I get the highest scoring names. Also I am not sure which stats file to use because you all gave me different responses.
I can use either

Code:

TheFancyWhale
  Stats: (Number)
MexMaster
  Stats: (Number)
Stoux
  Stats: (Number)

Or I could use:

Code:

Players:
  - TheFancyWhale
  - MexMaster
  - Stoux
Stats:
  TheFancyWhale: (number)
  MexMaster: (number)
  Stoux: (number)

 

The Fancy Whale what code do you have so far?
