Basic guide on obsidianDestroy plugin

Hello, I would basicly want a simple guide on how to create an obsidianDestroy plugin with config.
Like the config is:
TntHits: "1"
CreeperHits: "5"

Please help me, I'm stuck. I dont know where to begin or end.

 

I haven't seen this plugin, can you provide a link?

 

@Sm0oth_kriminal
no I want to know how to make it. like ObsidianDestoryer but less complicated

 

I suggest making a plugin request.

 

@InkzzzMC
no no no, I want to code it my self. I just need some help to start cause I dont know where to start.

 

Start here
You'll need "EntityExplodeEvent"

 

@woutwoot
Yeah, I've figured that out. I'm wondering how i check if the block is obsidian + how to check how many tnt hits it got.

 

Tnt hits at once?
I would suggest making it a total number of explosions.
I have never used entityexplodeevent, but I assume you can get the x y and z, then look for all blocks (in a for loop) and you can test for a block there (I believe getBlock (x, y, z) but correct me if I am wrong) and have some shape you can define with a set of relative points defined by the shape. I believe that most of these plugins have source code available.

 

Bumb

 

First of all you'll probably need the following to keep track of how much times the blocks were hit: Map<Location OR Block, Integer> --> the keys point to a certain block, and the values represent how much times it was hit.

Secondly what's the problem with @Sm0oth_kriminal 's solution? Listen to EntityExplodeEvent, get the Location of the explosion and iterate over the nearby blocks. If their type (or Material) is obsidian, increment the value in the Map and if it goes over the limit which was set in the config, destroy them.

 

@BeastCraft3 Please don't copy ObsidianDestroyer and distribute it for free.

 

@Totom3 @Sm0oth_kriminal
sorry smooth, for some reason I couldn't didn't see your reply.
And how do I make it so it will drop naturaly after 3 tnt hits? I just don't get it.

 

@BeastCraft3 World#dropItem

 

@Skionz
e.dropNaturlly. I know that part but I'm wondering how to check if its hit 2 times? I can't figure it out..

 

@BeastCraft3 EntityExplodeEvent. Iterate through the blocks and save the hits in a Map.

 

But how do I check if the Obsidian is hit???

@Skionz

 

@BeastCraft3 Get the Block's type. Check if it is obsidian. Increment it's value in the Map.

 

@BeastCraft3
onentityexplodeevent, just locate your map, and test if the durability is greater than config option! (Sidenote: I would use a custom event for checking durability and dropping, just so no duplicate code when it comes to different types of explosions

@BeastCraft3
Are you working on this?

@Skionz @BeastCraft3 @Totom3
what you'll want is a HashMap<block, durability> and when it explodes, go to the map, set event.getBlock () (aka key) to durabilitymap.get (event.getblock()) + 1


Now what I am not sure about is editing the specific x y and z coords to set all of the areas of the explosions durability
@Skionz probably knows more java! Skionz how do you edit the x y independently ?
(P.s. I am 13, so my knowledge and time are a little limited)

 

He would have to iterate through the 'exploded' blocks with EntityExplodeEvent#blockList()

 

@Skionz
What makes up a var of type 'location' and could I alter them? Could I combine say e.getLocX() and pass that to 'location'? In the config, could you have a list of points in a matrix that are relative(offsets) to the centerpoint! (e.g. 0, 0, 0; 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1; -1, 0, 0; 0, -1, 0; 0, 0, -1)?

(would produce a 1 radius circle)

And what I was talking about with the setting just X Y and Z coords is that by doing so, you could simply add the values from the matrix point list! So users an design their own 'exploded' obsidian range!

Code:

Location A = e.getBlockX(), e.getBlockX(), e.getBlockZ();
/*Is there a way to do this? And I hear that Hashmaps take up a lot of ram, so we could store it as a List<String>, but I don't know all the 'Getting' method of List<>*/

We could do a very cheap method of serialization!

Code:

String skey = e.getBlockX() + ", " +  e.getBlockY()  + ", " + e.getBlockZ();
/*Our "nice" serialization*/
HashMap<String, Int> durmap = new HashMap();
/*creating our hashmap (empty)*/
if (!(durmap.get(skey) == null)) {
/*You'll see why*/
/*todo for-loop*/
for (x<= #POINTSINMATRIX#, x++) {
Int matrixoffsetx = getConfig(args...);
Int matrixoffsety = getConfig(args...);
Int matrixoffsetz = getConfig(args...);/*not gonna do that right now, just getting offsets*/
Int matrixx = e.getBlockX() + matrixoffsetx;
Int matrixy = e.getBlockY() + matrixoffsety;
Int matrixz = e.getBlockZ() + matrixoffsetz;
/*taking offsets and applying them to each block instanec*/
String mkey = matrixx + ", " + matrixy + ", " + matrixz;
/*getting a serialized key with the finished points*/
Int currentdur = (durmap.get(mkey);
/*getting currentdurability*/
Int afterdur = currentdur + 1;
/*adding one*/
durmap.put(mkey, afterdur);
/*setting value*/
}
}
else {
durmap.put(skey, 0);
}

And this would be your checkdurability(String skey) (it is a custom event)

Code:

if (durmap.get(skey) >= getConfig("path.to.durability")){
String<string> matrix = getConfig().getStringList("path.to.matrixlist");
List<Integer> coordlist = Arrays.asList(matrix.split(",\\s*"));/*we need some just general string parse*/
int xcoord = coordlist.get(0);
int ycoord = coordlist.get(1);
int zcoord = coordlist.get(2);
/*just getting coords from our serialized list!*/
Block blockinquestion = world.getBlockAt(xcoord, ycoord, zcoord);
blockinquestion.setType(Material.AIR);
}

**DO NOT USE e.getLocX(), use e.getBlockX()**

EDIT: You would have to iterate it through the matrix list, but you could make a matrix list from config to iterate through! such as...

Code:

List<String> matrix = getConfig().getStringList("path.to.matrixlist");
int sizeoflist = matrix.size();
/*you can use the size and the contents to drive the function of the for loop*/

Would I need to parseInteger?

I might get this done, might not! a lot of annoying things going on!
Probably won't, BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHEN
I have a class with no actual errors...
