Custom Ranking System
-
Hi there. By the end (if not during) this tutorial, you will be able to write a custom rank system. This is rated at a scale of intermediate. You should be familiar with Java Enums (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/enum.html) before starting.
Starting off, we will create our Enum with the prefix in the constructor. This will allow us to keep things tidy and easily accessible.
Now, we're going to need to store the player's rank. In this example, we will use a flat file storage system, but this can also be achieved through a database. To set up our config file, we will do the following in our onEnable and onDisable:Code (Text):
public enum Rank {
// Let's use what most servers have.
OWNER(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "OWNER");
ADMIN(ChatColor.RED + "ADMIN"),
MOD(ChatColor.GOLD + "MOD"),
HELPER(ChatColor.YELLOW + "HELPER"),
MEMBER(ChatColor.GRAY + "MEMBER"),
private String prefix;
Rank(String prefix) {
this.prefix = prefix;
}
public String getPrefix() {
return prefix;
}
}
In a desired class, the following methods will be used to access the stored ranks:Code (Text):
@Override
public void onEnable() {
saveDefaultConfig();
}
@Override
public void onDisable() {
saveConfig();
}
As for the base of this system, you're done! You can now freely show the player's rank in chat, etc, with the previous methods. Happy coding!Code (Text):
private FileConfiguration config = Main.getInstance().getConfig();
public void setRank(Player player, Rank rank) {
config.set("Ranks." + player.getUniqueId(), rank.toString());
}
public Rank getRank(Player player) {
String val = config.getString("Ranks." + player.getUniqueId());
return (val == null ? Rank.MEMBER : Rank.valueOf(val));
}
public boolean hasRank(Player player, Rank rank) {
return (getRank(player).compareTo(rank) <= 0);
}
