development

[cinder forum]

because you need to use

[shell moon]

well

[lyric gyro]

just note how it allows me to use the vertical bars in one if statement but not on the other

[shell moon]

because you used it wrong

👇

[cinder forum]

because you need to use if action == Action || action == Action and not just if action == Action || Action

whqt

ooh

xd

[lyric gyro]

i used what wrong

[shell moon]

☝️

[lyric gyro]

OHHH

I see

rookie mistake

guys do I also put Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK

some blocks can be right clicked

and it would be annoying if you accidentally sounded the horn while trying to right click a block

[shell moon]

thats up to the developer

(and how horn works)

[lyric gyro]

can I just send the whole code here

so you guys can check it out?

just to make sure

if there are anything that could

you know, break the code idk

ah

I can't even send it

oh well

i'll just test it in game

[shell moon]

dosnt work?

test it first

if it doesnt, feel free to ask, someone will reply

(eventually xd)

[robust flower]

how do I solve this generics issue?

[lyric gyro]

get rid of the <?>

[robust flower]

I thought that there would be a way of keeping the <?>, seems like suppressing the "raw type" warning is the only solution then...

[lyric gyro]

mhm

[dusky harness]

or can't you pass in a generic to newUpdater?

assuming that's your own class

or would that change too much stuff

[lyric gyro]

it's jdk

[dusky harness]

ah

[dark garnet]

im using paper's AsyncChatEvent, and im not sure how to achieve the same thing i had with PlayerAsyncChatEvent with the setFormat and setMessage thing

[shell moon]

Dont use that

i mean, why not simply using AsyncPlayerChatEvent?

[dark garnet]

paper said it was deprecated but i assume thats just paper being paper

is there a way to get rid of the deprecated warning?

[shell moon]

pretty sure it is like that

if you open spigot docs, its not deprecated

they deprecated it in favour of his AsyncChatEvent

which supports audience and component i guess

[dark garnet]

they made a ton of things deprecated

in favor of adventure

[shell moon]

i know, i'll never use those events as i support Spigot

[dusky harness]

[shell moon]

i just hope they dont remove them

[dusky harness]

they won't remove them as they keep spigot compatibility

[shell moon]

otherwise people asking "its not workingggggggggggggg"

[dark garnet]

i hate adventure

its just too much

[shell moon]

yeah, i know, i just hope they dont remove it

(eventually)

[dark garnet]

so is there anyway to get rid of the deprecated warnings?

[shell moon]

mmm ignore it?

(if you support spigot, why not simply use spigot api)

[dusky harness]

what do you need setFormat and setMessage for?

since you can probably do what you want in AsyncChatEvent

[dusky harness]

paper api is based off of spigot api

unless you're trying to say spigot > paper

then um

AsyncChatEvent lets you get the final message, original message, and the player

[shell moon]

If that requires paper, people using spigot will have errors

thats what i mean

not encouraging people to use spigot over paper

[dusky harness]

alr

[shell moon]

but i wont tell them to switch to paper, even when its better

[dark garnet]

prefix, player, suffix, chat color, message
upon trying, it still showed the <srnyx> at the beginning
but its fine imma just use AsyncPlayerChatEvent again its not a huge deal

[shell moon]

so, basically a chat plugin

[dusky harness]

oh what does it not let you modify the whole message?

hmm

[olive dirge]

so i'm getting contents in prepareitemcraftevent

are those contents the same exact copy as the one placed?

[dark garnet]

well it was already weird cause u cant rly use replace with components (at least not efficiently/neatly)

cause rn this is what i have:

format = format.replace("%playerprefix%", new MetaManager(player).getPrefix());
format = format.replace("%player%", "%1$s");
format = format.replace("%playersuffix%", new MetaManager(player).getSuffix());
format = format.replace("%message%", "%2$s");```

[dusky harness]

wait for asyncchatevent

if you do event.message(Component.text("a")) for example

does it say <srnyx> a?

or a

[dark garnet]

sry gimme a sec ive gotta fix some other small bugs before i can build

[dusky harness]

alr

[olive dirge]

anyone know? I can't seem to find a way to test it

[dusky harness]

if you mean items from PrepareItemCraftEvent#getInventory, then I'm pretty sure it's the same exact item, yes

[olive dirge]

hmm will get inventory only get the items from the crafting part

not the whole inventory

[dark garnet]

theres no other way? cause it marks sendTitle, broadcastMessage, setLore, setDisplayName, AsyncPlayerChatEvent, etc... all as deprecated

basically anything that doesnt use components lmao

[shell moon]

if you plan to support spigot api

1. Ignore all warnings

2. Supress all warnings

[dusky harness]

if you plan to support spigot api

[shell moon]

3. use spigot api

[dusky harness]

don't use paper api

[dark garnet]

one of my dependencies requires it

[dusky harness]

but since you're using paper api I'm assuming this is on a priv server or something

[dark garnet]

it is yeah

[dusky harness]

if you want you can create a method to convert legacy to components
or use static imports (which some kyori people recommend) ```java
text("hello").color(RED)

there's also Component.join (I think that's the name?) to combine multiple colors, etc

[dark garnet]

no point when bungee colors have been working fine tbh

[dusky harness]

migrate to adventure if you're already using bungee 😌

avoids the deprecation

[dark garnet]

bungee colors = ChatColor

[dusky harness]

although if you have a lot it might take a bit of time

[dusky harness]

Oh

still migrate to adventure 😌 or create a method to convert legacy to components

[dark garnet]

but like, no, 💤

[dusky harness]

unless you have like 50 it shouldn't take too long to create a method to convert legacy to components

with find & replace

I mean you'll still have to manually do a lot of work

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark garnet]

yea and theres not much benefit

(if any)

[dusky harness]

No deprecation 😌

I mean that's why I did it

🤷

not required

paper won't remove it

[dark garnet]

😭

paper is sooo silly

[dusky harness]

or you can just write new code with adventure

:))

and then your project will be half adventure half legacy

lol

[dark garnet]

nO

[dusky harness]

and then for config you can use minimessage 😌

[dark garnet]

NOOOO

[dusky harness]

paper slowly converting you to adventure

😌

[dark garnet]

ok sorry

[dusky harness]

lol

[dark garnet]

not minimessage PLEASE

anything but MINImessage

[dusky harness]

minimessage 😌

[dark garnet]

no... nooo... NOOO

[dusky harness]

bad barry

[dark garnet]

haha

[dusky harness]

yes

YES

[dark garnet]

NOO!!

[dusky harness]

IT MUST HAPPEN_ _

[dark garnet]

PLEASE

[dusky harness]

IT IS INEVITABLE _ _

ok anyways

[dark garnet]

omg i love github copilot

[dusky harness]

same

useful in things when I'm writing repetitive stuff

I don't really use it for what people think of it as

like commenting something and copilot doing that

for that I just use google 😎

[dark garnet]

yea repetitive stuff comes in handy https://cdn.venox.network/idea64_Pww0Ez4xMZ.png

[dusky harness]

lol

ok but besides that

github copilot is pretty neat

[dusky harness]

💀

[dark garnet]

fr

[dusky harness]

okay copilot

[dark garnet]

its been thru some stuff

[olive dirge]

is there an event that checks for when a player is hitting a block?

[dark garnet]

playerinteractevent

[dusky harness]

playerinteractevent

aw

[dark garnet]

:)

[olive dirge]

interesting, alright thanks

[dark garnet]

use PlayerInteractEvent#getAction

[olive dirge]

left click im guessing?

[dark garnet]

i think there is left click block (and right click too)

[dusky harness]

yes

👍

[dark garnet]

please. help. 😭 https://img.venox.network/idea64_fCGteMlmtT.png

hehehehehe

Hehehehehehe

omg there is more

it didnt load everything

[dusky harness]

:)))

[dark garnet]

yes

[dusky harness]

huh

weird

maybe I'll experiment with it tomorrow

[dark garnet]

public class ChatListener implements Listener {

[dusky harness]

it's almost midnight for me 🥲

[dark garnet]

same but do u see me sleeping?

true devs dont sleep

[dusky harness]

uhhhhhh

[dark garnet]

r u a fake dev?

[dusky harness]

yes I do actually

I do see you sleeping

[dusky harness]

here's the proof

zzz only happens when you're sleeping 🤨

[dark garnet]

omg omg omg

noooo

anyone familiar with mongodb api?

I think I kinda have 500+ connections after reloading the plugin that many times

Do I create a connection everytime I create a mongoclient

[merry knoll]

yes

[dense galleon]

Why is it that when I try setting the display name of an item drop, those two [] square brackets appear?

[high edge]

Code

[dense galleon]

item.customName(stack.displayName());

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOWEST)
    public void onItemDropSpawn(ItemSpawnEvent event) {
        Item item = event.getEntity();
        ItemStack stack = item.getItemStack();
        item.customName(stack.displayName());``` more specifically

[high edge]

print out the values

[dense galleon]

But yeah, the stack doesnt have those brackets in the name

[high edge]

Does setting it add it?

[dense galleon]

Yeah that's what it seems to do

[dense drift]

That's intended

get it from meta

[dense galleon]

Huh what why is it intended

[dense drift]

e.g. when you get killed, the item showed in chat has [] around + hover

[dense galleon]

Aah I see

[dense drift]

will get the same result if you use ItemStack#displayName in a chat message

[icy shadow]

it's for stuff like the death messages i presume

yaeh

[dense galleon]

Yeah there we go

[icy shadow]

player was killed by player using [blah]

[dense galleon]

Another question: I noticed that when clicking twice in an inventory, the game thinks it's three clicks?

Ahhh there's a double_click click type

[dense galleon]

Can I set the color of a SPELL particle?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Particle.html on here it doesn't look like I can

[echo igloo]

Hey, I want to make custom textured rank tags but I don't know the sizes. If anyone knows please help me 🙂

and If there's a suggested font to use that would help as well

[dense galleon]

How is PlayerItemConsumeEvent#setReplacement supposed to work? Trying to prevent bottled honey from giving players a glass bottle after being consumed.

if (item.getType() == Material.HONEY_BOTTLE) {
    event.setReplacement(new ItemStack(Material.AIR));```
What this seems to do though is, if the player has multiple honey bottles in a single stack, it sets the whole stack to air and gives the player an empty bottle

[fiery pollen]

Does something exist where:

If I have two keys for one object in a map, for example a string and a integer. And if I get this object using 1 key, and change it and put it back in the "map". It will also be changed for the other key in the map?

[dense galleon]

Checking what the event.getReplacement() method returns, it's null? is that normal?

[merry knoll]

depends

if you wrap that with another object and keep the reference the same

then you can change the wrapped object inside the object you store it in

so you can edit the object, but cant change it and hope it stays the same on the other map

[fiery pollen]

Ah I see

[lyric gyro]

so i have a system where when you put on a certain block, you get a rainbow glass helmet. it constantly checks if the item on your head has certain nbt data, and if so, continues the loop. the issue, i want it so when you click on your helmet slot with the same item it stops the loop. although i do not know how to do this since they are same exact item. (clicking on rainbow glass helmet currently on head with glass would continue the loop as it would check for nbt data and obviously it would have that since same item).

[merry knoll]

keep a state variable

its on - off

click - put variable true - enable loop

click put variable false - end loop

[lyric gyro]

the issue is it would have to be a player based variable since there could be multiple people wearing it

also, can i cancel a bukkitrunnable from outside the bukkitrunnable?

[merry knoll]

and this is an issue how?

[merry knoll]

yes, make a variable then check the variable inside the runnable

[lyric gyro]

someone helped me organise and make my code more readable and less confusing

although its way more complex now

and I don't understand some parts of it

    public void addHorn(String name, Horn horn) {
        this.horns.putIfAbsent(name, horn);

    }

    @Nullable
    public Horn getHorn(String hornMaterial){
        return this.horns.get(hornMaterial);
    }```

what is this part doing

I don't know much about HashMaps and I don't know what this 'putIfAbsent' method is about

[proud pebble]

it adds the horn to the map, but wont replace it if you try to add the same one again

[lyric gyro]

why does it need a hashmap though

is it because there are multiple horns?

[wary dust]

anyone got any clue about SWM mem leaks on 1.8

[next pivot]

SQLUtils.getTopByPoints(Integer.parseInt(params.split("_")[2])).getName();

        return ordered.get(position - 1);
    }```
This is literally all it is, and it works completely normal anywhere else, but with DeluxeMenus it takes way too long.

[dawn viper]

when is it executed?

do you have an event or smth?

does PAPI even have any events 👀

[next pivot]

The first line is actually what is returned when a certain custom PAPI placeholder is called/requested.

[dawn viper]

oh okay I think I see

can you send the menu you're using?

[broken elbow]

ok. just to e sure, what is ordered? and what does the #get method do?

[dawn viper]

check here for the start of the discussion
#general-plugins message

[broken elbow]

ah

I was looking for it

[dawn viper]

yeah, forgot the context, sorry 😅

[merry knoll]

i feel like they are doing some sql

stuff on placeholder

[broken elbow]

I saw SQLUtils and I thought maybe they're doing sql queries

in a placeholder request

which would definitely be the cause

[merry knoll]

ye exactly

[next pivot]

Sadly, no, I'm not the one who has access to that, but the person who's testing it reports it (and I can see that in the logs) taking over 3s.

[merry knoll]

how would it not affect other placeholders though

and only affect deluxemenus

[dawn viper]

can you ask him to send it?

maybe he just have an update_interval of 3 in his menu

which would explain why

[next pivot]

There are no SQL queries involved, it's just in that class cos I was testing something, but it is just an ArrayList.

[dawn viper]

I'm guessing faster refresh intervals

[next pivot]

Alright, give me a second.

[broken elbow]

can you maybe try to replicate that yourself?

or get the menu

from them. yeah

[next pivot]

Yeah, I will ask them for it now.

[merry knoll]

yes but, on a menu (on open at least) placeholder should just appear as normal

unless they are doing some io on the placeholder call

[dawn viper]

is it not appearing? 👀

[merry knoll]

thats what i am gathering from "slow"

[broken elbow]

aki, it's just slow to open the menu

[dawn viper]

from what I understood it's that is that the method is called when opened, and then every 3s instead of 1s or smth

[broken elbow]

since DeluxeMenus creates the items and the menu when the open command is executed

[next pivot]

So, let me explain exactly what happens.

[merry knoll]

yes, so the interval is not the issue here

[broken elbow]

so the placeholder just blocks the thread so it takes a while for the menu to open.

[merry knoll]

exactly what i am saying as well

but that doesnt make sense

if its doing it on deluxe menus only

[broken elbow]

yeah.

it should happen every the placeholder is parsed

@next pivot how did you end up figuring out it's your placeholder that causes this? is there like a lag dump or whatever they're called?

[merry knoll]

3 seconds is hella slow

even for sql

[next pivot]

2. There is a total of 18 placeholders to be called, but all of them are just a simple ArrayList#get methods, so it shouldn't take long at all.

3. A single get() method call takes a few seconds, it takes about 15-60 seconds for all of them to be executed.

4. The GUI opens.```

[merry knoll]

15 - 60 seconds for the gui

what

[next pivot]

Yup...

[merry knoll]

feel like you would disconnect no?

keepalive is like 30 seconds by default

[next pivot]

Weirdly - you don't.

[broken elbow]

it doesn't block the main thread Aki

DM creates the menus async

[next pivot]

Oh, that's alright than.

[merry knoll]

ah, that makes more sense

[next pivot]

But it still takes waaay to long.

[broken elbow]

just the menu will take long to open

[merry knoll]

i know some forks send keep alive

on another thread

[broken elbow]

ImDaMilan. Any chance you're actually loading a bunch of head- materials in the menu?

[next pivot]

As I said, the placeholder runs just fine however I call it, just not on DeluxeMenus.

[dawn viper]

what if you remove every instance of the placeholder in the menu

and try to open it?

does it still take 60 seconds to open?

[merry knoll]

i feel like this is not a placeholder issue

[dawn viper]

yeah

[broken elbow]

yeah same.

[next pivot]

We tested it using some other plugins as well as our own, the placeholder call was instant, but with DM it takes so long, we don't know why.

[broken elbow]

this. @next pivot

[dense drift]

do you have anything else that needs to be loaded, beside that placeholder?

e.g. heads as blitz said

[merry knoll]

dont heads get cached after the first call?

[broken elbow]

now they do

but on older version they didn't

[next pivot]

I sent a message to the guy that's testing it, I'm waiting for him to respond exactly what is being loaded in the GUI.

[merry knoll]

ah

[dense drift]

are you sure, blitz?

[broken elbow]

yeah

[dense drift]

or only baseheads were cached?

[broken elbow]

all heads except the ones that were taking in player names

were

[next pivot]

He sent me the file, where can I send it?

[dense drift]

ah ic

[broken elbow]

it was getting the offline player every time.

[dense drift]

but there's very few use for head- anyways

basehead ftw

[broken elbow]

there are a few heads

there's just so few of them tho.

[dense drift]

yeah exactly

[next pivot]

Funny enough - that's what the GUI is for.

[dense drift]

please use a filler item instead of 30 separated glass panes

[broken elbow]

can you also get the version of deluxemenus the guy is using?

[broken elbow]

not their menu

someone that reported this

[dense drift]

oh sorry

[next pivot]

Alright, give me a sec.

[merry knoll]

semi unrelated, i got a method for pulling uuid out of mojang how long do you think is safe as a cache?

[dense drift]

if you use another material does it load instantly?

for how long do you need it though?

[merry knoll]

its needed as its needed

used for anything done for offline players / not logged in before players

[broken elbow]

yeah. like gaby said, can you recommend them to temporarily change the material:s for the top items to something like dirt? see if that still takes seconds to load or not

[next pivot]

He also said that all other menus load fine, but still, the placeholder also runs just fine on anything but DM, and it's literally just one return statement...

[next pivot]

Alright, I'll tell him now.

[merry knoll]

im willing to bet its not the placeholder

but the head call using the placeholder

after

[next pivot]

1.13.5

[broken elbow]

ok. so yeah I'm like 99% sure now. but please still ask them this.

I'll just write 1 long message explaining what I think happens lol.

[next pivot]

Sending it to him now.

[dense drift]

could try to update to latest version, or is the cache not new?

[next pivot]

"the other menus are the same as this one and work perfectly"
"if that was the issue it would take forever for the other leaderboard menus"

-His messages.

[broken elbow]

For head- materials, DeluxeMenus used to make the Bukkit#getOfflinePlayer request every time the menu was opened and sometimes that ends up making a request to Mojang. This was fixed in version 1.13.6 (DeluxeMenus) by caching the heads so it will only make the requests to Mojang when the menu is first opened and then any time the menu is opened after it will open basically instantly until the server restarts.

[next pivot]

He is still arguing that that is not the issue.

[broken elbow]

I mean you can test all of this yourself if you want to confirm. Just set up DeluxeMenus 1.13.5 and use their menu and see if you can replicate.

[dense drift]

How do they know it is not?

[next pivot]

https://paste.helpch.at/zonemotofi.bash

He told me to send you this and tell you that this one works fine.

[broken elbow]

yeah but you can still set up and test this yourself. and it would take them seconds to change the materials to dirt and back. it's just part of the debugging process

[merry knoll]

i mean its highly probable that one menu has cached players

and other doesnt

[dense drift]

Whats different beside every item having update true?

[merry knoll]

since its just offlinePlayer call

[broken elbow]

the placeholder.

one uses ajlb, one uses airidalegangs.

[merry knoll]

again, unless they have the exact same heads

[dense drift]

Ah, sorry

[merry knoll]

one menu opening fast

proves nothing

one could be doing an api call, other loading from file

[broken elbow]

just ask them to do this for debugging purposes. If it's not that we can move over to other steps.

[next pivot]

As I said, the placeholder is just a return statement that gets an index from an ArrayList, I see no reason why that could be bad for performance.

[broken elbow]

yeah. and that's how we feel as well

that's why we want them to do that step. so we can prove or disprove our theory and move to other theories

[dense drift]

All heads are loaded in the same way, Aki, so if both placeholders return a value instantly it should behave the same.

[broken elbow]

but we can't really do that if all they say is "no it's not it" with no proof

[vapid tangle]

changed all the materials to dirt and it still takes forever to load

[broken elbow]

what if you remove the placeholders from the display name as well.

[merry knoll]

why not just run the new version

[dense drift]

[merry knoll]

and see if that fixes it

its just a jar swap

[vapid tangle]

removed placeholder from display name and it loads instantly

[dense drift]

Blitz, what is the fallback value for update_interval ?

[broken elbow]

10

seconds

[dense drift]

Hm, ok

[broken elbow]

ok. now we can move to other debugging. that's all we needed. thank you

[next pivot]

If it is an issue with our plugin, I'm more than willing to fix it, but I just can't see any reason at all why a single get() method could cause any issues, especially only when ran trough DeluxeMenus.

[broken elbow]

@next pivot mind showing us your entire Placeholder class?

[dense drift]

Is the data cached?

[broken elbow]

gaby, they are saying it's just a list#get

so yes

in theory.

[dense drift]

Well, the data can also be loaded from a db as a list

[next pivot]

Yeah, sure, I can paste the whole class if you want.

[next pivot]

It does, but only at the onEnable().

[dense drift]

Okay

[vapid tangle]

I wont pretend I know anything about plugin coding, but it seems to be if 9 menus with the exact same material as a head, and placeholder in the displayname work perfectly, and this one specific menu take 5-15 seconds to load. its not an issue with the menu, its an issue with the plugins placeholders somehow.

[dense drift]

@vapid tangle update to latest version of DM just in case

[vapid tangle]

sure

[dense drift]

Is not worth to test bugs on older versions

[broken elbow]

yes. we can tell that now. but debugging is not just as simple as a yes or no. We need to take every step from the start and debug each one of them. when we can tell for sure this step is not it, we move to the other and so on (which we just did after you confirmed).

[vapid tangle]

I understand

[merry knoll]

except that its not true

[vapid tangle]

my apologies if I came across as being rude

[merry knoll]

if all heads are the exact same name, then its true

[vapid tangle]

well shit

latest version of DM fixes it

[next pivot]

Hahaha, I just pasted the class!

[dense drift]

Hmm

[vapid tangle]

still would be nice to know what the issue actually was

[next pivot]

.

[dense drift]

Caching

[broken elbow]

this @vapid tangle

the simplest explanation I Could give

[dense drift]

Make sure you test the original config, with heads and placeholder as display name

[broken elbow]

basically deluxemenus wasn't actually caching heads and that would sometimes lead to requests made to mojang

which can take time

[vapid tangle]

yeah, but weird that it didnt do it with any of the other menus that use heads

[broken elbow]

I mean it could very well be that maybe ajlb already does some caching or something

[vapid tangle]

could be

well thanks for your help and sorry, I should have updated the plugin before coming here

[dark garnet]

how can i accurately simulate setting an armor stand's velocity using teleportation?

[next pivot]

Thank you all guys!

[vapid tangle]

is there a donation link somewhere? lol

[dense drift]

Deluxemenus still loads the heads though, hmm

[broken elbow]

no need.

[broken elbow]

yeah but maybe ajlb does some offline player requests and I believe spigot caches those offline players for a period of time

[merry knoll]

velocity = distance / time

go from there

[dense drift]

Fair

But shouldnt that also be the case with dm? XD

Weird anyways

[broken elbow]

yeah. idk either man

[dark garnet]

that doesnt rly help :/
how would i get all the different locations between point A and point B?

[merry knoll]

divide by period

lets say you want to move 1 block per second

then you gotta move the armor stand 1/20th of a block

each tick

so you can just do speed in blocks / 20

and move that much each tick

[dark garnet]

but how do i make sure its going in the right direction

[merry knoll]

wha

speed has 3 dimensions

you set the speed accordingly

you might want to check some basic geometry

[broken elbow]

math 😭

hurts

[dark garnet]

ok so what would go in stand.teleport(Location)

[merry knoll]

lmao

if you got a speed already then you just add speed / 20 as offset

to last location

but teleport wont work with what you want to do afaik

you need to do packetwise move packet

not teleport

[lyric gyro]

is there an event for hitting an entity?

or is it just interact event?

[dark garnet]

entitydamagebyentityevent

[lyric gyro]

for player

specifically

[dark garnet]

if (!(event.getAttacker() instanceof Player)) return;

[lyric gyro]

k

[merry knoll]

if you want to move from location a to location b

you get direction vector by doing b - a / length

then you multiply that by a speed to get your speed vector

[lyric gyro]

hmm

is there a way to create a new potion effect?

[merry knoll]

a custom one?

[lyric gyro]

yeah

I wanted to make so that when you play a horn, it makes every damage you do to someone or to some mob

summon a lightning

it needs to be a potion effect

because you will only summon lightnings on hit for a short period of time

[merry knoll]

it does not have to be a potion effect no

you can do temporary stuff without them being potions

[lyric gyro]

oh

[merry knoll]

record the time it starts

record how long

check when someone hits if it expired

??

profit

[lyric gyro]

i think a potion effect is easier though idk

[merry knoll]

no

[torpid raft]

no

[merry knoll]

dont rely on other systems

[lyric gyro]

idk how ill do that

[merry knoll]

this exactly

[lyric gyro]

yeah

"record the time it starts"

[merry knoll]

System.currentTimeMillis

[torpid raft]

get the system.currentTimeMilis

[merry knoll]

can also use the new way

with instant class

instant.now i think

[torpid raft]

can also use game ticks if you want the effect to persist between restarts without progressing

[lyric gyro]

i think before i try to continue developing this plugin i have to understand it

some dude just helped me make it more safe and readable

but it also made it a lot more complex and confusing for me to understand

some parts of it i just can't understand

[torpid raft]

send code

[robust flower]

I just discovered a new way of spawning particles using ParticleBuilder, since when does this exist? Did you guys used it already?

d;paper ParticleBuilder

[uneven lantern]

com.destroystokyo.paper.ParticleBuilder

public class ParticleBuilder

ParticleBuilder has 1 extensions, and  17 methods.

Description:

Helps prepare a particle to be sent to players. Usage of the builder is preferred over the super long World.spawnParticle(Particle, Location, int, double, double, double, double, Object) API

Requested by: SecretX • paper

[dense drift]

I used it on 1.16, is probably older

d;paper-1.13 ParticleBuilder

[uneven lantern]

Requested by: GabyTM | RO • paper-1.13

[lyric gyro]

me?

[torpid raft]

yes

[lyric gyro]

i can just stream it to you

on intellij

it's easier

too many classes

it will get confusing if i just post everything here

[dusky harness]

Three dots - VCS - Github - create repository

Or smth like that

[lyric gyro]

I don't even have a GitHub account

[torpid raft]

im on mobile + at work

just gimme the juiciest screenshot you can muster

[lyric gyro]

fine

but after that

go do your job

the world depends on you

[torpid raft]

very horny method call you have there

[lyric gyro]

these parts I could not understand

[lyric gyro]

😳

im basically becoming the horn master

no one i've talked to so far understand how horns work

or knew very little about it

[torpid raft]

so far you've shared the class responsible for tracking what horns exist

seems pretty easy to decipher so far, it just gives you a horn of a certain name when you ask for it

[lyric gyro]

what is hashmap and put if absent doing

[torpid raft]

although its weird that in the one snippet it calls the string key an instrument but the other class calls it the material

[torpid raft]

a hashmap is like a python dictionary if you know what that is

it lets you use one object (a name) to retrieve a different object (a horn)

put if absent essentially only adds a new entry into that hashmap if no horn by that name exists yet

preventing the user from overriding a horn with a name that was already taken

[lyric gyro]

i wonder why this is important

because the plugin is basically modifying the goat horns

[torpid raft]

brb back in 30

working

[lyric gyro]

not creating new items

[dusky harness]

Oh lol

[lyric gyro]

i'll just create one

can you help me understand this thing?

[lyric gyro]

no response 😠

https://github.com/System0utPrintLn/Hornspawn

here it is

@dusky harness

[dusky harness]

I told u above

I'm on phone rn

Can't look

[lyric gyro]

you did?

you didnt

[dusky harness]

Here

Although u have to login to github in intellij

[merry knoll]

what do you not understand

[lyric gyro]

these two parts

specifically

but

I'd like a better understanding of the whole thing

[merry knoll]

so you got a horn manager

that holds different types of horns

idea is that you can get the horn you want (each of these hold different logics in them)

this.hornspawn.getHorns.getHorn

just gets you the logic

[lyric gyro]

mhm

the logic

is the thing inside each horn class right?

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffect;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType;

public class SingGoatHorn implements Horn{

    @Override
    public void action(Player player) {
        player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 400, 1));

    }
}```

like this

[merry knoll]

yes

so SingGoatHorn

when you call .action on it

applies potioneffect

each horn has to have an action

since its implementing Horn interface

for the map

imagine it as a variable of sorts

but instead of having to define them one by one, you can define as many as you want

then you can pull it as needed dynamically

[lyric gyro]

kinda like an arraylist?

[merry knoll]

kinda

in arraylist

your pulling thing is the index

as in 0 -> obj 1

[dusky harness]

Do you understand inheritance

[merry knoll]

1 -> obj2

[dusky harness]

Extending classes

[lyric gyro]

yeah

[merry knoll]

he doesnt no

but no need its not his code

with maps

instead of numbers

you can put anything as the left side

in your case its these texts

[torpid raft]

yeah aki describes it well

[merry knoll]

so when you ask a map

[torpid raft]

a map is like an array / list but instead of using a numerical index you can use an object as the index

[merry knoll]

hey give me "minecraft:ponder_goat_horn"

it will give you the instance holding the logic

for ponder goat horn

[lyric gyro]

I see

and what more?

[merry knoll]

putifabsent

thing

is basically telling it

hey, does "minecraft:blabla" exist already?

if yes do nothing

if not put the one i give you there

as its defined in the name itself

put IF ABSENT

its kinda useless in your use case, you could use just put as well

but it avoids overriding the old value

if an old value exists

i would personally make an enum instead of using raw texts

as the left side on the map

but its up to you

[lyric gyro]

well, i didnt came up with most of this stuff

a guy just helped me making the plugin better

before I just did everything in the same class

with switch statements

[merry knoll]

yes, thats the main advantage of a map

instead of a switch case that will get longer and longer

you get to seperate the logic

into separate classes

so its easier to understand

[lyric gyro]

i think it even makes the code run faster

[merry knoll]

nah

both switch and map are O(1)

in your use case

[torpid raft]

switches are likely a little faster but not in a way that matters

just because there's less objects to unbox and jump through

[merry knoll]

this, you dont optimize on stuff like this

if you have performance issues, chances are you are doing something way worse somewhere else

[torpid raft]

yeah

premature optimization is the root of all evil

• some comp sci guy

[merry knoll]

hell yes, imma write all io operations on main thread

[lyric gyro]

now

I need to find a way to make all attacks summon lightnings everytime you damage someone or a mob

this after you sound a horn

[merry knoll]

you need to do some time calculations then

System.currentTimeMillis()

gives you the amount of milliseconds passed since epoch

so, it allows you do this:

get time when horn is used

then get time when someone hits something

if you do time 2 - time 1

it tells you how many milliseconds passed

you divide that by 1000 to see how many seconds passed

lets say you want the buff to last 10 seconds, you just check if the difference is less than 10 * 1000

if yes, apply lightning on that hit

if not, return out of the event

[lyric gyro]

    public void onHitEvent (final EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){

        World world = event.getEntity().getWorld();
        if (!(event.getDamager() instanceof Player)){

        }```

is this a good start?

(no)

[merry knoll]

yes

then you want to return out

in that if

since attacker is not a player

[lyric gyro]

right

I was about to say

I could barely understand that if statement

given the amount of parenthesis

[lyric gyro]

so @merry knoll

this event will trigger only when I sound the goat horn?

[merry knoll]

nope

it will trigger every time

an entity damages another entity

[lyric gyro]

how do I make it so that it will only trigger when the horn is sounded?

[merry knoll]

you need to store who has the buff

hint, you want a map for this

[lyric gyro]

hmmm

y

[merry knoll]

another hint, you want to have player uuid on the left

so you can be like

hey does this player have buff

[lyric gyro]

what is player uuid to be exact

[merry knoll]

its unique id of the player

[lyric gyro]

this aint gonna be easy

but if programming was easy

then everyone would be a nasa engineer

nasa engineers dont code

but anyways

[torpid raft]

some of them do

how else did curiosity know how to sing happy birthday

[lyric gyro]

how do I create a hash map

i forgot

[torpid raft]

new HashMap<>();

[merry knoll]

new HashMap<Type1, Type2>()

[lyric gyro]

I feel like this one will be the hardest one to do

the other one just summons goats that attack mobs

[indigo apex]

Hey guys how, can i fix it

yaml menu_title: '&7Previewing: ' open_command: potionkit size: 9 open_requirement: requirements: permission: type: has permission permission: deluxemenus.admin deny_commands: - '[message] &cYou don''t have permission to do that!' items: '1': material: POTION potion_effects: - SPEED;10;1 amount: 1 slot: 0

[wintry grove]

So I'm back, and it is still regex time

I have done some improvements to the system I'm working on, but I'm still dancing in my ass because the regex doesnt work, and thats something that doesnt surprise me.
Right now the regex is this:
(ꑡ|ꐇ|ꐆ|ꐅ|ꐄ) ([a-zA-Z0-9]+): ([a-zA-Z 0-9\W]+)

It matches 3 groups:

• The rank, which is a 3 unicode character thing
• The Username,
• And the Message

The part I'm having problems with is the fucking rank part, although it should work, according to my brain and google, it doesnt.

For example, this is a message that it is supposed to be able to parse:
ꐄ StarL0stGaming: imagine suffering to a fricking set of characters called string that supposed to make my life easier

But, it throws this error:
https://paste.helpch.at/ewasucuped.apache
The method that uses the regex is this one:
https://paste.helpch.at/kicimitotu.js

I'm in pain

[dusty frost]

i imagine there's a unicode problem somewhere, of something not supporting it

also of note, a valid minecraft username can have _ in it lol

[wintry grove]

ik

forgor the //W thing

I'll add it

but thats not my problem

[dusty frost]

i mean yeah, my guess is unicode

[wintry grove]

pretty much

according to google java should support that

IJ parse the first and third unicodes into the number thing

the mid one or the second is not parsed into that

should I try changing it to the number code?

[dusty frost]

To match a specific Unicode code point, use \uFFFF where FFFF is the hexadecimal number of the code point you want to match. You must always specify 4 hexadecimal digits E.g. \u00E0 matches à, but only when encoded as a single code point U+00E0

In Java, the regex token \uFFFF only matches the specified code point, even when you turned on canonical equivalence. However, the same syntax \uFFFF is also used to insert Unicode characters into literal strings in the Java source code. Pattern.compile("\u00E0") will match both the single-code-point and double-code-point encodings of à, while Pattern.compile("\\u00E0") matches only the single-code-point version. Remember that when writing a regex as a Java string literal, backslashes must be escaped. The former Java code compiles the regex à, while the latter compiles \u00E0. Depending on what you’re doing, the difference may be significant.

[wintry grove]

I'm confused

[broken elbow]

and apparently dots as well

[dusty frost]

https://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html

[dusty frost]

what no?

[broken elbow]

idk man. I think gaby posted a link to a paper regex where they also match dots

in player names

like inside a paper patch

[dusty frost]

probably for like Geyser or something

[broken elbow]

yeah but those prefixes are customizable tho

[dusty frost]

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4408950195341-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Username-VS-Gamertag-FAQ#:~:text=Accepted characters%3A,character accepted is _ (underscore)

[broken elbow]

I guess the default one is indeed dot.

[dusty frost]

https://i.imgur.com/qBMsfiM.png

[broken elbow]

yeah. I know

maybe old usernames?

I Know they used to allow 3 char names

2*

not 3

but very long time ago

[dusty frost]

yea yea

weird stuff

[wintry grove]

it pretty much follows what it says there

I'm confused

[lyric gyro]

how do you extend an entity

[dusty frost]

i thought of like 6 different jokes to that question and none of them were funny

but also this sounds like an xy problem, unless you're making a mod?

[dusty frost]

what about the middle thing

[wintry grove]

wait

[broken elbow]

found it @dusty frost. took me 8 minutes lmao. It was in a reply to a DeluxeMenu PR. https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/master/patches/server/0821-Validate-usernames.patch#L32

[dusty frost]

oh shit lol wtf

that's so bizarre

[wintry grove]

is that supposed to be a regex

its so weird

[broken elbow]

no

I'm going to assume you're trolling now? XD

[wintry grove]

I dont even know either lmao

[broken elbow]

can't find any comments about it.

[lyric gyro]

cause I want to create a custom entity

[wintry grove]

[broken elbow]

btw starlost. maybe instead of throwing errors check if there 's a match first? XD and just log it

[wintry grove]

wait how

and wdym lmao

do I log the result of matcher.group()?

[lyric gyro]

you need to check if there's a match before doing anything

if matcher.matches

[dusky harness]

don't you also have to do matcher.find?

[lyric gyro]

no

they check different things

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#matches()

[dusky harness]

oh

[wintry grove]

let me get the shotgun rq

then why does it throw an error then

the it must be that I'm using matcher.group()

[broken elbow]

show your code. lol

[wintry grove]

https://paste.helpch.at/elidusunec.js

[broken elbow]

what's at ChatHandler line 66

[wintry grove]

nothing lmao

[broken elbow]

oh noes.

[wintry grove]

changed the code

[broken elbow]

please do not compile the regex pattern

every time

[broken elbow]

yeah. when the error was being thrown, what was there?

[wintry grove]

https://paste.helpch.at/kicimitotu.js

this was the old method

[broken elbow]

yeah but like 66 specifically. was it String test = matcher.group();

?

[wintry grove]

should I compile it at the constructor?

[broken elbow]

you can just make it static

[wintry grove]

it was line 69 iirc

hehe funny number

[lyric gyro]

you're still not checking if it matches

[lyric gyro]

you must check either matcher.matches/.find before using group and other stuff

[broken elbow]

he does

https://paste.helpch.at/elidusunec.js

this is the current code

[broken elbow]

the one here is the old one.

[lyric gyro]

yeah okay and it works

[broken elbow]

yeah. but he's wondering why it works when he checks

but not when he doesn't

[wintry grove]

yeah

[lyric gyro]

because you have to check

it's a must

[wintry grove]

really

[broken elbow]

well here's your answer

[lyric gyro]

read the javadoc for pattern

[broken elbow]

yup lmao

well idk about Pattern but on Matcher#group

[wintry grove]

my bad

so if I do matcher.group() it should work now right?

[broken elbow]

as long as you use Matcher#matches first

[wintry grove]

aight

also what exact group does that method return

bc it doesnt return an array

just a single string

so I'm guessing it returns only one group

[broken elbow]

the next one

there is a group method

that takes in an integer parameter

that is to specify the group you want to get by index

[wintry grove]

does it work like an array

from 0 to infinity

or just 1 2 3

[lyric gyro]

group() (or group(0)) will return the matched string, if your pattern has capturing groups you pass in the group indexes (obviously starting from 1, because 0 is the whole match)

[wintry grove]

aight

[broken elbow]

from 0 to however many groups there are

[wintry grove]

aight

so the classic 0 = 1

[broken elbow]

wait 1?

[wintry grove]

good

tysm then

oh

[broken elbow]

no no star. read what emily said

[wintry grove]

aight

[broken elbow]

I Did not know that

[wintry grove]

yeah

[broken elbow]

actually. unless I Did and just forgot lol

which is very much possible

[wintry grove]

let me try then

[broken elbow]

d;jdk Matcher#group-int

[uneven lantern]

java.util.regex.MatchResult#group

String group()
throws IllegalStateException```

Description:

Returns the input subsequence matched by the previous match.

For a matcher m with input sequence s , the expressions m. group() and s. substring(m. start(),
m. end()) are equivalent.

Note that some patterns, for example a*, match the empty string. This method will return the empty string when the pattern successfully matches the empty string in the input.

Returns:

The (possibly empty) subsequence matched by the previous match, in string form

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If no match has yet been attempted, or if the previous match operation failed

this sucks

why is there n group with parameters method

[wintry grove]

ye

its building rn

[lyric gyro]

why is bukkit the default

[broken elbow]

anyways. I Was going to say, reading the docs will help lol. They seem to be pretty well documented

[lyric gyro]

d;jdk Matcher#group(int)

[uneven lantern]

java.util.regex.MatchResult#group

String group(int group)
throws IndexOutOfBoundsException, IllegalStateException```

Description:

Returns the input subsequence captured by the given group during the previous match operation.

For a matcher m , input sequence s , and group index g , the expressions m. group(g ) and s. substring(m. start(g ),
m. end(g )) are equivalent.

Capturing groups are indexed from left to right, starting at one. Group zero denotes the entire pattern, so the expression m.group(0) is equivalent to m.group().

If the match was successful but the group specified failed to match any part of the input sequence, then null is returned. Note that some groups, for example (a*), match the empty string. This method will return the empty string when such a group successfully matches the empty string in the input.

Returns:

The (possibly empty) subsequence captured by the group during the previous match, or null if the group failed to match part of the input

Parameters:

group - The index of a capturing group in this matcher's pattern

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - If there is no capturing group in the pattern with the given index
IllegalStateException - If no match has yet been attempted, or if the previous match operation failed

[wintry grove]

someone tell that bot that I'm not in bukkit or spigot lol

[wintry grove]

yeah

still

tysm

[lyric gyro]

absolutely true

surprisingly, reading the things you're using helps

[wintry grove]

imagine reading

[broken elbow]

tbh

why do that when you can debug for 6 hours and also make other lose brain cells in a discord server with you?

[wintry grove]

yes

but not for 6 hours

change it for a week or two lmfao

it isnt returning the first group

and also turns out that it is also able to parse the character

[broken elbow]

wdym?

code maybe?

[wintry grove]

wait I'm the stupidest person alive

I forgot to change it from 0 to 1

[lyric gyro]

why do i even bother

[wintry grove]

I mean you have a fair reason

[broken elbow]

to not bother

[wintry grove]

yes

tysm to both of you

[lyric gyro]

so

will anyone help me creating a custom entity?

wanted to create a custom goat that targets hostile mobs

[wintry grove]

I mean

spigot forums exist

[lyric gyro]

they havent been that helpful

[lyric gyro]

i cant extend entitygoat

i cant extend any entities

why

why is goat a fucking interface

i cant understand

[dark garnet]

trying to make a custom entity too lmao
im following this tutorial: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/nms-tutorials-2-custom-nms-entities-1-11.205192/
im using the same "special constructor" that they made but i get this:

Cannot resolve method 'setPosition' in 'Stand'
along with other things, is it cause im using 1.19.2 and the tutorial was made for a earlier version?

[wintry grove]

dont know

I have never touched custom entities

[dark garnet]

[robust flower]

if I have an hierarchy of Listeners aka one abstract class implementing Listener and a concrete implementation, and both concrete class and parent class got methods annotated with @EventHandler, will PluginManager register the methods on parent class(es) too?

[lyric gyro]

what are you creating

[dark garnet]

armor stand that doesnt have gravity but can still have velocity

using https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/armor-stand-no-gravity-velocity.135046/#post-1435347

but everything is outdated

[lyric gyro]

i'm just trying to create a goat that attacks hostile mobs

[dark garnet]

i hate nms

[lyric gyro]

but I can't extend entitygoat because it literally doesnt exist

i cant extend anything

the closest thing i found was "goat"

[dark garnet]

did u import spigot (not spigot-api)?

[lyric gyro]

yes

[dark garnet]

compileOnly("org.spigotmc:spigot:1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT")

so u have that?

[lyric gyro]

and its an interface

[lyric gyro]

yep

[dark garnet]

does CraftGoat exist

[lyric gyro]

1.19 for me

[lyric gyro]

what is craftgoat

[dark garnet]

craftbukkit goat

[lyric gyro]

yes

[dark garnet]

im using CraftArmorStand

try extending that

wth is craftserver bruh 😭

[lyric gyro]

thanks

i think this solved my problem

[lyric gyro]

nms is weird

but good

[dark garnet]

ah i think i got it

    public Stand(Location loc) {
        super((CraftServer) Bukkit.getServer(), new EntityArmorStand(EntityTypes.d, ((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle()));
        this.b(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());
    }```

but b doesnt exist sooo

[lyric gyro]

yeah not really

why is the tutorial different

[dark garnet]

when was it made?

i think a lot of stuff is version-dependent

[lyric gyro]

literally 2017

[dark garnet]

yea might be outdated

use https://minidigger.github.io/MiniMappingViewer/#/mojang/server/1.19

[lyric gyro]

jesus fucking christ why is firefox lagging my computer

[dark garnet]

w h a t

for god's sake just WORK

what am I doing wrong

What does the error say

[lyric gyro]

that entity goat simply does not exist
