Getting 2 variables.

[DaMaGeX]

Hello everyone, I want to fetch 2 player variables from all players that are currently online and then put them in a SendFrame126, i've tried the following code, but it crashes me. Can anyone help me with this?

And I also would like it that the highest scores come in first with the right usernames, but it really goes to far for me.
I've tried, but I can't do it.
I've started programming with Java just 3 days ago.

public void scoreMenu() {
            clearQuestInterface();
            int[] scores = new int[256];
            String[] names = new String[256];
            for(int i = 0; i < server.playerHandler.maxPlayers; i++) {
            if(server.playerHandler.players[i] != null) {
            scores[i] = server.playerHandler.players[i].playerScore;
            names[i] = server.playerHandler.players[i].playerName;
            
            if(i >= PlayerHandler.getPlayerCount()) {
                    for(int a = 8720;a<8799;a++) {
                    sendFrame126("",a);
                    }
                    for(int s = 0; s<PlayerHandler.getPlayerCount();s++) {
                    sendFrame126(""+Integer.toString(scores[s]),8720+s);
                    }
                    for(int p = 0; p<PlayerHandler.getPlayerCount();p++){
                    sendFrame126(""+names[p],8760+p);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        sendQuestSomething(8713);
        showInterface(8714);
        flushOutStream();
    }

Thanks in advance,

Your original reason for crashing was a nullPointerException, which meant you were trying to point to something that didnt exist.
You'll notice I removed both for loops and made it one, there's no point looping twice. The new for loop block is a bubble sort in java, this orders the highscores, with the highest score first.
I also changed it so that the printing out only happened once all of the players scores/names have been assigned, not as it happens, as this means you're doing multiple print loops for each time you loop around a person, very inefficient, so this is slightly more efficient.

All I can suggest is reading through books as you program your server, best way to learn, practice!

Enjoy, I'm going to bed, 4:30am
