Is a player array possible?

[tlr38usd]

Could I somehow get an array of all the players on a server? If so how?

perhaps something like FMLServerHandler.instance().getServer().getConfigurationManager().playerEntityList.toArray()? (warning: not tested)

Ok, that gave me the list, but now that I have the list I'm not sure it's what I want.

 

I'm using my server tick handler to check if a player has a flight buff and then do some calculations and then change the motionY player variable. What I had was this

private void onWorldTick(World world) {

	EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;

 

Which worked fine in a single player world, but on lan only the player that started the game got the buff.

 

I then tried this

private void onWorldTick(World world) {

	List<EntityPlayer> players = MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().playerEntityList;

	for(int i = 0; i < players.size(); i++)
	{
		EntityPlayer player = players.get(i);

 

But that seems like that makes the player a read-only variable. I can read the username, but that's pretty much it. I can't change the motionY or add velocity which doesn't make sense to me because it's the same EntityPlayer.

 

Also in a server situation with hundreds of players would it be smart to have a for loop checking every player every tick. If not then what is the best way?

use a server tick handler instead, itll ball the method in the handler for every player without having to deal with the list

if (type.equals(EnumSet.of(TickType.SERVER))) vs. if (type.equals(EnumSet.of(TickType.WORLD)))?

public class ServerPlayerTickHandler implements ITickHandler{

@Override
public void tickStart(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override
public void tickEnd(EnumSet<TickType> type, Object... tickData) {
	EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP) tickData[0]
                //do stuff with the player
}

@Override
public EnumSet<TickType> ticks() {
	return EnumSet.of(TickType.PLAYER);
}

@Override
public String getLabel() {
	return null;
}
}

That doesn't work either, it just makes a bunch of weird client-server mismatches.

no thsi method is working its what im using for my mod.

 

can you explain what are the mismatch/bugs ?
