hi guys, iv got a - DefaultModelList myLoot;

I'm kinda stuck converting this list into a working looting method.

 any help is appreciated.

 

I'd say convert your model to an array by copying contents over while iterating the model, using the enumeration returned by the DefaultListModel#elements method.

 

Then pass that array using getGroundItems().closest(array) to get the closest desired item on the ground; or getGroundItems().filter(array) to get them all.

toArray?

toArray?

 

toArray doesn't make use of generics, and will always return Object[], so he'd have to convert it regardless to use it with the EntityAPI

He could actually use copyInto, which is backed by System.arraycopy. But seeing how DefaultListModel is backed by Vector, it would be wiser to use your own ListModel implementation, allowing you to add this support while potentionally increasing performance.
