Api and threading issue?

james1bow · 2025-11-09T10:34:35+01:00

i have been working on a rather large plugin and i NEED to implement threading. i have been driving myself crazy with an issue tho. it seems to me that if i create a new thread the API creates hundreds of new threads. i have done some testing and i dont no think it is my code. any input would be helpful.

Java

// Init player method
public void initPlayer(Player player){
        if(rpCore.getConfig().getDevConfig().getMultiThreadEnabled()){
            Thread initThread = new Thread(new InitPlayer(rpCore, player, rpCore.getConfig().getDevConfig().getMultiThreadEnabled()));
            initThread.start();
        }else{
            new InitPlayer(rpCore, player, rpCore.getConfig().getDevConfig().getMultiThreadEnabled());
        }

    }

Java

//class init player called from Init method
public InitPlayer(RPCore rpCore, Player player, Boolean multiThreadEnable) {
        this.rpCore = rpCore;
        this.player = player;
        this.multiThreadEnable = multiThreadEnable;
        playerMenus = new HashMap<>();
        implementingMenuElement = new HashMap<>();
        implementingSettingsElement = new HashMap<>();
        if(!multiThreadEnable){
            println("Running InitPlayer NON-Threaded",10);
            initPlayerSettings();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void run(){
        println("Running InitPlayer Threaded "+Thread.currentThread().getName(),10);
        initPlayerSettings();
    }

    private void initPlayerSettings(){
        HashMap<String, String> settings = rpCore.getDatabaseManager().getSettingsDBController().getPlayerSettings(player.getUID());
        ps = new PlayerSettings(rpCore);
        ps.setBackgroundName(settings.get("backgroundName"));
        ps.setBackgroundImage(rpCore.getAssets().getImages().getImageByName(settings.get("backgroundName")));
        ps.setHeaderFont(Font.valueOf(settings.get("headerFont")));
        ps.setHeaderFontSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("headerFontSize")));
        ps.setHeaderFontColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("headerFontColor")));
        ps.setTextFont(Font.valueOf(settings.get("textFont")));
        ps.setTextFontSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("textFontSize")));
        ps.setTextFontColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("textFontColor")));
        ps.setBorderColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("borderColor")));
        ps.setBorderSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("borderSize")));
        ps.setButtonBackgroundColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("buttonBackgroundColor")));
        ps.setButtonBorderColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("buttonBorderColor")));
        ps.setButtonFontColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("buttonFontColor")));
        ps.setButtonFontSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("buttonFontSize")));
        ps.setButtonFont(Font.valueOf(settings.get("buttonFont")));
        ps.setButtonBorderSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("buttonBorderSize")));
        ps.setMenuFont(Font.valueOf(settings.get("menuFont")));
        ps.setMenuFontColor(Integer.parseInt(settings.get("menuFontColor")));
        ps.setMenuFontSize(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("menuFontSize")));
        ps.setInteractionKey(Key.valueOf(settings.get("interactionKey")));
        ps.setInteractionOptionKey(Key.valueOf(settings.get("interactionOptionKey")));
        ps.setHideMenuOnExit(Boolean.parseBoolean(settings.get("hideMenuOnExit")));
        ps.setHideInfoTextOnExit(Boolean.parseBoolean(settings.get("hideInfoTextOnExit")));
        ps.setMainMenuPositionX(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainMenuPositionX")));
        ps.setMainMenuPositionY(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainMenuPositionY")));
        ps.setMainMenuSizeX(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainMenuSizeX")));
        ps.setMainMenuSizeY(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainMenuSizeY")));
        ps.setMainPanelPositionX(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainPanelPositionX")));
        ps.setMainPanelPositionY(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainPanelPositionY")));
        ps.setMainPanelSizeX(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainPanelSizeX")));
        ps.setMainPanelSizeY(Float.parseFloat(settings.get("mainPanelSizeY")));

        if(rpCore.getConfig().getBaseConfig().getGeneralConfig().getDebugTextEnabled()) {
            ps.debug(settings);
        }

//ps.debug method
println("[RPCore/PlayerSettings]" , 9);
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : settings.entrySet()) {
            String key = entry.getKey();
            String value = entry.getValue();
            println("\t "+key+": -> "+value, 14);
        }
