[1.8] How to get the players ping

[Jedispencer21]

What I am trying to do is in my hud I am trying to display some information. I have tried:

 

 

private String getPingInformation()

{

NetHandlerPlayClient handler = this.mc.thePlayer.sendQueue;

List list = new ArrayList(handler.func_175106_d());

Iterator iterator = list.iterator();

 

while (iterator.hasNext())

{

NetworkPlayerInfo networkplayerinfo = (NetworkPlayerInfo) iterator.next();

EnumChatFormatting enumchatformatting;

if (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() <= 0) enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.RED;

else if (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() < 150) enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.GREEN;

else if (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() < 300) enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.YELLOW;

else if (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() < 600) enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.GOLD;

else if (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() < 1000) enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.RED;

else enumchatformatting = EnumChatFormatting.DARK_RED;

return "Ping: " + enumchatformatting + (networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime() <= 0 ? "Unavailable" : networkplayerinfo.getResponseTime());

}

 

return "Ping: Unavailable";

}

 

 

and it sometimes works, but most of the time it returns 0.

Maybe, but I would also expect the ping to update every so often, but it seems the stay at the same number for long periods of time.

EDIT: What happens it when I join a server the ping will be a single number for about 5-10 seconds, then goto 0, then a random time later will be another number, and continuously do that.

The only reason I wanted the players ping was for my HUD to tell the player what their ping was, since I already have it displaying the server IP.

I do know that there is a way to do it without calculating it myself because the pixelmon mod does it with their custom tab list with the vanilla methods.

I know that and they get the response time based on the iteration through the list of players.
