Java - How do I make a counter for each player?

[EpicFooF]

I am trying to create a plugin that has a "warnings" feature.
It basically allows staff members to use /warn [player], and if a player reaches a specific amount of warnings he will be banned.
So my question is, how do I make a counter for each player? I don't want that all of the players will have the same amount of warnings.

Thanks for those who will help!

Associate the UUID of the user with an amount of warning points. You can store it in a database, file or however you please.

A good idea is to only create a row for a user with warning points, that way you can just assume that if the UUID isn't there, it has 0 warning points.
Every time you add a warning point, check the warning points to see if it has reached a certain number. If it has, do whatever you please.

You'd need to log them in flat file (not recommended), local database or MySQL. For starters, just use a flat file, create like additional bans.yml file, and log every warning, with player's uuid in there.

edit: looks like i was a second late :/

Alright, thanks.

Well this is just something I came up with for you just now. Not tested in eclipse idk if its correct but.

    public int getWarnings(UUID uuid){
        return getConfig().getInt("warnings." + uuid.toString());
    }
   
    public void addWarning(UUID uuid){
        setWarnings(uuid, getWarnings(uuid) + 1);
    }
   
    public void setWarnings(UUID uuid, int amount){
        getConfig().set("warnings." + uuid.toString(), amount);
    }

EDIT: edited method names feel free to use this

Alrighty so. You've got two options here I guess.

You can create a new HashMap, storing the uuid like so:

private Map<UUID, Integer> warnCounterMap;
//Initialize it however you want

Or you could go overkill and create a "WarnManager" class like so (I have time to kill lol).

Spoiler

public class WarnManager {
private static List<WarnManager> allManagers = new ArrayList<>();
public static List<WarnManager> getManagers(){ return allManagers; }

private static Map<UUID, WarnManager> managerCache = new HashMap<>();
public static Map<UUID, WarnManager> getManagerCache(){return managerCache;}
  
    private int warningCount;
  
    private UUID id;
  
  
    public WarnManager(Player p)
    {
        this.id = p.getUniqueId();
        loadWarningCount();
        allManagers.add(this);
        managerCache.put(p.getUniqueId(), this);
    }
  
    private void loadWarningCount()
    {
        //Load data however you want, check if player is in the database
        //And generate stuff accordingly.
        this.warningCount = HOWEVERYOUGETCOUNT;
    }
  
  
    public int getWarnings()
    {
        return this.warningCount;
    }
  
    public void incrementWarnings()
    {
        warningCount++;
        //Check for amount of warnings etc. do whatever you want.
    }
  
  
    public void handleLeave()
    {
        allManagers.remove(this);
        managerCache.remove(id);
        //Store the data however you want.
    }
  

  
  
    public static WarnManager getWarnManager(UUID id)
    {
        return getManagerCache().get(id);
    }
  
    public static WarnManager getWarnManager(Player p)
    {
        return getManagerCache().get(p.getUniqueId());
    }
  
}

Adapt it however you want

Remember to call a new WarnManager object on the player join and to handle the leave on the leave.

Thanks a lot
