Help with Skript-Placeholder

[balmy gorge]

So I want to make a placeholder work in Skript, Like Balance,
and probably make things like custom levels but I need help with the basics on how to make placeholders! Can somebody help me out? I will also use it in my own Scoreboard so if possible thanks!

[half rune]

for balance/economy: skript has vault support
for custom values: make a skript scoreboard using something like SkBee, and just use %{variable_here}% like you would any other place

[balmy gorge]

I tried using it

on actionbar

it sent me errors

[half rune]

[balmy gorge]

wait

  if event-block is wheat[age=7]:
    if name of tool is "&x&E&6&A&6&7&1Wooden Hoe ★★":
      send action bar "&e+$1.50 &8%vault_eco_balance_commas%" to player
      add 1.50 to the player's account
      apply potion of speed 1 without particles to player for 1 second replacing the existing effect
      play sound "entity.experience_orb.pickup" with volume 0.1 to the player```

i think the error is that wheat[age=2] isn't valid in skript, so all the code below it for that section is presumed to be normal code and shouldn't have the extra tab

one sec

[balmy gorge]

no

all of those woorks

just this line

[half rune]

send the error?

[balmy gorge]

send action bar "&e+$1.50 &8%vault_eco_balance_commas%" to player

isnt

wait

[half rune]

is vault_eco_balance_commas a variable

[balmy gorge]

wdym

[half rune]

do you have a variable named vault_eco_balance that you're trying to get?

[balmy gorge]

nope

how do i make a variable

[half rune]

try %player's balance%

[half rune]

set {(variable_name_here)} to (whatever you want to set it to)

[balmy gorge]

Oh yes it works

thanks

[balmy gorge]

so

variable name is supposed to be the placeholder?

You need skript-placeholder addon and the placeholder expression

[balmy gorge]

I got skript-placeholder, Another question what is the expression is supposed to be

in skript

[half rune]

sorta
so variables are used to store data of any kind, numbers, text, etc. so you can use them later
say for example you wanted to store the name of a custom pet, you'd do
set {petname.%player's uuid%} to "Pet 1"
then you could access that variable from inside skript again with
%{petname.%player's uuid%}%

[balmy gorge]

oh ok

[balmy gorge]

I can do this to anything

[orchid charm]

placeholder "your_placeholder_here"

But don't use for balance

[balmy gorge]

I can use for something else like

statistic

player

vault rank

[orchid charm]

Depends

Not for rank. Skript has an expression for it

[balmy gorge]

where Can I see all of skript expressions already added?

so I don't have to ask help again

[solemn cove]

for balance, you can literally just use player's balance (assuming you have Vault and a compatible economy plugin such as BeeConomy)

for placeholders, you need to first set a variable to the value of the placeholder, then show the variable

set {_var} to placeholder "your_placeholder_here" from player

[balmy gorge]

so I can do

set {_gems} to placeholder "Gems" from player

[solemn cove]

yep! then you can use the variable as you would any other

[balmy gorge]

how do i make it show numbers though

[solemn cove]

what is it you are referring to?

[balmy gorge]

Like if I make a custom currency like jewels or gems

How do I make it so if i have that required quantity for pets

or

I want to give myself

gems

like it becomes

78 gems

1.9k gems
