[lyric gyro]

your comment however was not

[tired olive]

how would u know

[lyric gyro]

I think I know what I consider my own time worth

[tired olive]

u maek no sense

[lyric gyro]

it's my own time

it makes total sense

I am the one to decide if I find my own time I myself spent on doing something worth it or not

[bitter basin]

why are you even testing code, if your not 1 shot writing ur code with perfection, then you shouldn't be a programmer

[dark garnet]

alr so what do i do?

[tired olive]

what ur doing is fine

[dark garnet]

but it doesnt work :/

[tired olive]

why not

[dark garnet]

shadowJar doesnt generate javadoc or test file

[tired olive]

move the test plugin out of the src/tests directory

thats usually for automated tests

make a test plugin module

[dark garnet]

ok i made test-plugin

[tired olive]

put the plugin in there

[dark garnet]

done

[tired olive]

good job

[dark garnet]

now what :/

[tired olive]

code it like a normal plugin

[dark garnet]

what, it already is tho :/

this is what i have rn https://max-is.very-stinky.com/idea64_psEQlyZAf8.png

[dark garnet]

still need help

[dusky harness]

did you configure it

it won't automatically add the stuff in test-plugin to the jar

why not just add like a test command instead?

idk how your test-plugin works

but if it was using mockbukkit it'd be in tests

[dark garnet]

its just a plugin thats compiled

[dusky harness]

but why not combine it all into one?

[dark garnet]

wdym?

[dusky harness]

and have like a config option or constant for test

what do you have in test-plugin?

[dark garnet]

a plugin that uses (tests) the api thats in main

[dusky harness]

tbh I'd just make a command that tests the api

[dark garnet]

i want a file to be compiled

so i can run it on an actual server environment

[dusky harness]

I mean like why not combine it into the main module

[dark garnet]

cause then the api would include the test plugin which is unnecessary, cause no ones ever gonna use it

[dusky harness]

make another module

multi module gradle project

[dark garnet]

isnt that what i did?

[dusky harness]

ig that's the only way to do it

no

that's a source set (?)

[dark garnet]

ok how do i make another module

[dusky harness]

okkk ill leave this part to someone else

🙃

[dark garnet]

ok i figured everything out

but i still need to find a way to have gradle shadowJar also generate javadocs jar (doesnt have to be uber)

[tired olive]

here

[dark garnet]

Task 'javadocJar' not found in project ':AnnoyingAPI'. Some candidates are: 'javadoc'.

[tired olive]

i think u need the java-library plugin

[dark garnet]

nope, still doesnt work

[tired olive]

try

java {
    withJavadocJar()
}

[dark garnet]

ye thats what i had before, but i dont think it runs with gradle shadowJar

o wait that made the gradle shadowJar javadocJar command work nice

ok last issue i think
so rn in the main build.gradle.kts, i have this:

plugins {
    java
    id("com.github.johnrengelman.shadow") version "7.1.2" apply false
}```however, since `java` is there, when i run `gradle build` in the root directory of the entire project, it generates an empty jar file in `build/libs` (as well as the `build` folder in general). how can i prevent it from generating the `build` folder when running `gradle build`?

[lyric gyro]

uh the proper solution is to not have the java plugin there

idk about the whole build folder but you can stop it from creating a jar with tasks { jar { isEnabled = false } } or something similar, i don't remember the exact field name

[dark garnet]

but i need it for dependencies and stuff

[lyric gyro]

well you see, no

gradle is more versatile than you'd think

[dark garnet]

if i remove it, it errors and doesnt build

[lyric gyro]

well yeah it's not "just remove it"

it's a tad more "complex" if you have a simple setup

[dark garnet]

alright ill go the lazy route per usual

[tired olive]

you could just run the test task nvm

its the exact same as build but doesnt run the jar task

[dark garnet]

ended up doing this btw, to prevent everything from running:

// Prevent java tasks for root project from running
tasks {
    jar { enabled = false }
    classes { enabled = false }
    assemble { enabled = false }
    testClasses { enabled = false }
    check { enabled = false }
    build { enabled = false }
}```

im new to this whole thing how do i get the build file?

[bright pier]

The pom.xml

What makes you think something is wrong with it

[upbeat shuttle]

because build artifacts button is greyed out which i think i need to do that to have it build the jar file

i tried building project and i think it does that succesfully

Executing pre-compile tasks...
Running 'before' tasks
Checking sources
Copying resources... [ChatPoll]
Running 'after' tasks
Finished, saving caches…
Executing post-compile tasks...

the second file i pasted is the pom.xml

hmm now i am getting this error "Unresolved dependency: 'net.md-5:bungeecord-chat🫙1.16-R0.4-deprecated+build.6'"

I have a layout setup, with a number of plots, and they are assorted sizes. In between the plots, I want paths. I only want paths when the plots are occupied, so they need to be custom. I can get a schematic, but I dont want a hundred different schematics for each use case. Is there anyway to take a long path schematic and crop/cut off the part that I dont need?

@icy shadow i unfortunately took ur advice... but what would relocating do exactly, and exactly how would i go about doing it if i did do it?
also, how can i make it so that when checking for dependencies, i can prevent stuff like this:
PluginA has dependencies DiscordSRV and ViaVersion
PluginB has dependencies DiscordSRV and EssentialsX
since PluginA and PluginB both depend on DiscordSRV, it'll be downloaded twice, how do i prevent that?

[dusky harness]

i unfortunately took ur advice
lol

[dusky harness]

since PluginA and PluginB both depend on DiscordSRV, it'll be downloaded twice, how do i prevent that?
No need

but what would relocating do exactly, and exactly how would i go about doing it if i did do it?
idk what u mean

[dark garnet]

wdym no need there is need, i dont wanna spam (well just unnecessary calls) the modrinth/spgiot/bukkit/external servers

[dark garnet]

idk he said something about relocating

[dusky harness]

I mean ppl host maven central mirrors but I don't think one for spigot/modrinth/etc are needed since you're not downloading it each time (I'd assume it'd be cached, no?)

[dusky harness]

do you know what relocating is?

[dark garnet]

sry i shouldve been more clear. my api downloads plugin dependencies specified by the plugin using the api

so in the example i gave, the api would download DiscordSRV onto the server

[dusky harness]

wait huh

your plugin installs other plugins?

[dark garnet]

downloads, enables them if specified

[dusky harness]

downloads if specified?

like in config?

[dark garnet]

sorta yeah

dependency example: https://github.com/srnyx/annoying-api/blob/main/src/test/java/xyz/srnyx/testplugin/TestPlugin.java#L32-L35

download class: https://github.com/srnyx/annoying-api/blob/main/src/main/java/xyz/srnyx/annoyingapi/dependency/AnnoyingDownload.java

[dark garnet]

i think i scared dkim away

i hope hes not crying rn :(

[dusky harness]

note that they likely have ratelimits (modrinth and spiget have ratelimits iirc) to prevent excessive traffic already

[dark garnet]

yea but i'd rather not hit those ratelimits, could lead to getting blocked too

[dusky harness]

also uhh i personally have a plugin which calls spiget like 20 times every time i start the server

lol

it was difficult to find a pastebin service with non-strict ratelimits that could allow editing

[dark garnet]

waht????????

just make ur own? thats what i did :/

https://paste.srnyx.xyz

[dusky harness]

it doesn't allow editing though ☹️

[dark garnet]

it could tho

would just have to switch to a different paste thingy

[dark garnet]

ok so how would i fix issue if i only wanna download duplicate dependencies once

[dusky harness]

only download it if it's not already in the server plugins folder

[dark garnet]

problem is that it checks dependencies at the same time (on load)

so all the plugins using api checks dependencies before any of them even start downloading

[dusky harness]

you can either:

• you can make it check first thing in onEnable
• open each JAR file and check the plugin.yml

i do the second one

[dark garnet]

2nd one doesnt make sense

what jar file would be opened

[dusky harness]

every file in plugins/

[dark garnet]

but when dependencies r checked (on load), none of the dependency files exist yet, cause none of them have been downloaded

[dusky harness]

but once you download them

they exist

[dark garnet]

but then they'd already be downloaded...

[dusky harness]

I thought that's what you were asking

if it's already downloaded or not

[dark garnet]

nono

if another plugin using my api has the same plugin marked as a dependency

[dark garnet]

so that PluginA and PluginB dont both download DiscordSRV, only 1 of them should download it

[dusky harness]

it would be downloaded it plugins/
so check if it already exists
if it doesn't, download it
if it does, do nothing

[dark garnet]

but they're checked before any of the plugins start dependency downloads

[dusky harness]

block the main thread

it's in onLoad anyways and it shouldn't take a while so it doesn't matter

unless onLoad is async

ig u can check that but i dont think it is

[dark garnet]

wait sry they're checked onEnable

[dusky harness]

probably shouldn't be but now you're sure it's sync

im 99.99999% sure onEnable runs sync

[dark garnet]

is there any other way? blocking main thread sounds dangerous and a bit excessive

[dusky harness]

wait are you loading the plugin manually?

[dark garnet]

which one? the dependency or mine?

[dusky harness]

spigot does it themselves

with its library loading feature

iirc

[dusky harness]

are you loading the dependency manually?

like

for example luckperms

are you downloading it and enabling it on the same server run?

since if so, you'd have to use onLoad probably

[dark garnet]

if the dependency has enableAfterDownload set to true

[dusky harness]

yeah I'd use onLoad then

since then you're going to be calling onLoad and onEnable in onEnable

which may cause issues

[dark garnet]

alr then there is new issue

[dusky harness]

it also might conflict with other (soft) dependencies

and loadbefores

[dark garnet]

i want the plugin to load after the dependencies are installed

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

what if i just loaded the dependencies?

[dusky harness]

spigot might try loading it twice

[dark garnet]

no

all plugins load at the same time

[dusky harness]

the dependency of the dependency I mean

no they don't

well they don't load at the same time

they load in a for loop

[dark garnet]

so pretty close

[dark garnet]

ok i checked spigot code

and it looks like it wont

[dusky harness]

link?

[dark garnet]

spigot first gets a map of all the files, and then runs a for loop to load each of them

[dark garnet]

im using intellij

[dusky harness]

yes, and those can include the dependencies of the dependencies

[dark garnet]

it cant

[dusky harness]

ok too many "dependency" words

here's an example

[dark garnet]

the dependencies wont have been downloaded yet

1. Spigot gets plugin files (plugins)
2. Spigot loads plugins from plugins
   a. Plugin using API is loaded
   b. Plugin downloads dependencies
   c. Plugin loads dependencies
3. Spigot enables plugins

[dusky harness]

This isn't true but let's say LuckPerms depends on PlaceholderAPI

Your plugin depends on LuckPerms
Your plugin downloads and enables LuckPerms BUT PlaceholderAPI hasn't enabled yet because that file has not been reached yet in spigot's for loop
LuckPerms fails to enable due to the missing dependency
Later, PlaceholderAPI downloads the files

[dark garnet]

if luckperms depends on placeholderapi, then my plugin would also declare placeholderapi as a dependency

[dusky harness]

alr then it should work

[dark garnet]

wait would it

[dusky harness]

you can look at plugwoman's code for the plugin loading/enabling

you'll have to call onLoad and onEnable at the correct times though

[dark garnet]

if (enable && dependency.enableAfterDownload && manager.getPlugin(dependency.name) == null) {
    try {
        // Load and enable plugin
        final Plugin dependencyPlugin = manager.loadPlugin(dependency.getFile());
        dependencyPlugin.onLoad();
        manager.enablePlugin(dependencyPlugin);

        // Register commands
        PluginCommandYamlParser.parse(dependencyPlugin).forEach(command -> plugin.commandRegister.register(command, dependencyPlugin));
        plugin.commandRegister.sync();
    } catch (final InvalidPluginException | InvalidDescriptionException e) {
        plugin.log(Level.SEVERE, "&4" + dependency.name + " &8|&c Failed to load plugin!");
    }
}```

maybe i should just live with multi-download

ok im going to sleep

[dusky harness]

have u tried googling for examples or asking the author of tokens?

here's some examples, but the source codes arent available so you could try decompiling (if ur using intellij u could use that): https://advancedplugins.net/category/addons (ones starting with T-)
if u do decompile, just make sure to not use any of it's code, else it'd be against whatever license they have

[dusty prawn]

Hello, I'm making my first plugins and i want to die

can someone help me?

[broken elbow]

with which part? dying or making a plugin?

[dusty prawn]

first part would be awesome

i mean, the first you said hahaha

[broken elbow]

Ah. Well then, I present you:

[mental cypress]

What are you trying to do, and what do you have so far?

[dusty prawn]

Thanks hahahahahaha

[broken elbow]

Always here to help!

[dusty prawn]

I'm trying to set specific coordinates or warps and then make all the players in a team randomly teleport to one of them

[broken elbow]

Now time to wait for both Discord and Minecraft to ban me because talking about this kind of stuff is against their TOS.

😭

[dusty prawn]

for each player

[mental cypress]

Alright so it sounds like you want a list of location objects.

[dusty prawn]

nooooo, sorryyyyy

[mental cypress]

And then you would loop over all over the players in that team and for each one pick a random entry from the list of locations

I don't think Java has a random method on their lists, does it? I'm still in Kotlin mode.

[broken elbow]

I feel you 😭

I have to learn python

it sucks

[dusty prawn]

I copied another plugin, i dont want to create a public plugin because I'm a twitch streamer and i just want to use it in my server

so i will show you what i have give me a sec

[mental cypress]

Okay!

[broken elbow]

    List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(firstElement, secondElement, thirdElement, etc);
    Random random = new Random();
    int randomElement = list.get(random.nextInt(givenList.size()));

This is a simple way to get a random element from a list in Java. It indeed does not have a method provided like Kotlin.

A thing to note is that you can get duplicates as it doesn't remove the elements from the list. Also you should probably not create the Random object every time you get an element

[mental cypress]

That is correct. You can make a one-off function that just calls a class initialized random object.

[dusty prawn]

if (cmd.name.equals("randomwarp", ignoreCase = true)) {

  if (args.size == 0) {
    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED.toString() + "You have not specified a spawn arena name!")
    return true
  }
  if (args[0].isEmpty()) {
    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED.toString() + "You have to specify a warp channel!")

    return false
  }

  // Here i want to set the myPlayerTarget var to each players of the args[1] team
  }

// these 3 lines work perfectly, it teleports my players to the random warps, but only to specific players
    val locList = locationMap[args[0]]!!
    val `in` = randInt(0, locList.size - 1)
    if (myPlayerTarget != null) {
      myPlayerTarget.teleport(locList[`in`])
}
return true

}

this is the part i need to correct

the only thing i need is the team part, make every player tp

[mental cypress]

public class MyClass {
    private final Random random = new Random();
    private final List<Location> locations = new ArrayList();

    // Stuff here, maybe add locations to the list.

    public Location getRandomLocation() {
        return locations.get(random.nextInt(locations.size()));
    }
}

That might be the class setup that would have the random and the list of locations and then there's the function to pull a random location from that list.

You need to have your list of members in the group somewhere, so you need to iterate over all those members and then player.teleport() them.

[dark garnet]

fyi, unrelated to ur problem, but u should be using CommnadExecutor instead of listening to the command event (i assume thats what ur currently doing), here's a wiki on how to use CommandExecutor: https://spigotmc.org/wiki/create-a-simple-command (i didnt fully read over it so im just hoping its sufficient 💀)

[dusty prawn]

and for the teams is there any Team.members or else?

[mental cypress]

I mean Team is not a thing in Minecraft. You have to make that yourself.

Actually Scoreboard Team might be a thing but yeah.

[dark garnet]

yes it is

[dusty prawn]

Thankyou! i will take a look

[mental cypress]

In terms of what he is wanting, I doubt it's that.

[dark garnet]

if ur using minecraft's scoreboard teams it'd be Team#getEntries, which returns a list of player names im pretty sure (so you'd use Bukkit#getPlayer to turn the name into a Player)
if ur not using scoreboard teams it'd be something different, depending on what ur using

[dusty prawn]

the command 7/team join,and etc doesn't exist in minecraft? maybe i was using a plugin and didn't know

[dark garnet]

alright yea ur using scoreboard teams, so use Team

[dusty prawn]

hhmmmm okey okeyyyyy, thankyouu

[dark garnet]

if u need help with getting the Team lmk

[dusty prawn]

unfortunately here in my country it's super late, i entered the server as a last resource hahaha, tomorrow i will try again and probably come back here to cry a little bit more, thank you so much @dark garnet @mental cypress and @broken elbow 😁

[dusky harness]

in case you guys haven't noticed

this is kotlin

btw

so you can use the random function

[dark garnet]

omg it is??

it is...

[dark garnet]

so this probably wont work for u @dusty prawn (but go sleep and do it tmr bc late night developing is not fun 😭)

[dusky harness]

there's a bunch of stuff that can be changed but since they're new I'll just leave it how it is

[dark garnet]

ye its better to just solve the original issue they have than to start telling them everything they did wrong
only good to do that with devs that have a bit of experience and will actually understand everything ur telling them

[dusky harness]

yeah
i basically only said the above message just because I wanted to show that it's not kotlin in its full potential

🤩

kotlin = best

[dark garnet]

lucky u did say something else we'd be continuing to help in java 💀

[dusky harness]

i can't believe no one noticed lol

the first line is kotlin 💀 💀 💀

[dark garnet]

not used to seeing new devs (or at least new mc devs) start in kotlin

[dark garnet]

thing is, i literally saw the ignoreCase = true and my brain just processed "ok so its basically doing equalsIgnoreCase"

[pulsar ferry]

To give you credit, it can be a bit hard without it being on a codeblock

[dark garnet]

[wet fox]

Is there a way to create new servers from a plugin in velocity?

[bright pier]

I have little experience with velocity, but I would have to guess you wouldn't be able to. You'd need to manually make them

[wet fox]

You can change the config and use the reload command in order to do it, this is why I would guess it would be possible via the API

[bright pier]

Changing an already existing file and running a command is one thing, but Creating an actual server...

[wet fox]

Yeah I mean adding the server onto the config file programatically

Not actually creating the minecraft instance

[broken elbow]

I found this in the velocity 3.0.0 javadocs https://jd.papermc.io/velocity/3.0.0/com/velocitypowered/api/proxy/ProxyServer.html#registerServer(com.velocitypowered.api.proxy.server.ServerInfo)

[wet fox]

Ghost ping?

[dusty prawn]

Hello, It's me again

[dusty prawn]

after this message I am today trying again hahaha, What i understood is that i need to use Kotlin, does anybody know how to acces the memebers of a scoreboard team in kotlin coded plugin?

(I deleted this message 😛)

[dusty prawn]

var board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager()!!.newScoreboard
var myBoard = board.getTeam(args[1])

  for (player in myBoard.  <HERE> )
  {
    val locList = locationMap[args[0]]!!
    val `in` = randInt(0, locList.size - 1)

     player.teleport(locList[`in`])
  }

Okey i think i have something, i just need how to get players from the team

@dusty prawn

[dusty prawn]

Thankyou Gaby

I did it!! i achieved my first goal!! yeeeeeyyyy (Spoiler i did not)

var board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager()!!.mainScoreboard
var myBoard = board.getTeam(args[1])

  for (player in  myBoard!!.entries )
  {
    val locList = locationMap[args[0]]!!
    val `in` = randInt(0, locList.size - 1)

     Bukkit.getPlayer(player)!!.teleport(locList[`in`])
  }

It now works, but only for 1 player

Okey, Its because geyser renames them with .(name) any clue?

[dusty prawn]

now i did it

[echo birch]

Help please.
I have the code
` @EventHandler
public void test1 (PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent click) {
Player player = click.getPlayer();
ArmorStand stand = (ArmorStand) click.getRightClicked();

    if (stand.getScoreboardTags().contains("VehicleMP")) {
        stand.addPassenger(player);
   
    }
}`

And it causes this exception
Internal Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: EntityDismountEvent cannot be triggered asynchronously from another thread.

[proud pebble]

i see no reference to the EntityDismountEvent, are you sure its this chunk of code thats causing the issue?

[forest jay]

I want check if a player is somewhat looking at an entity. I dont need their crosshair on the entity, I just need it with -45 yaw and +45 yaw of the entity. How can I get the direction of the entity from the players perspective? Or is there a simpler way to accomplish what I want done?

[molten wagon]

I get this error, I have done like the guides I find when google to set up modules and dependencies. But of some reason can't it find the class when compile.

[dark garnet]

btw u should be declaring locList outside of the for loop

and remember that locations will be reused (as in 2 players can be teleported to the same spot), but i assume thats what u want

[dark garnet]

all i know is that it'll involve ray tracing, maybe that'll help u (or someone else) figure it out

wait why do u need the direction the entity is looking?

[forest jay]

For a chat plugin. I only want the chat to trigger when the player is semi looking at the npc

So I need the players yaw

And then I still have yet to figure out the yaw that will hit the entity

[dark garnet]

have u tried using ray tracing with a bigger raySize (i think default is 0.1 or something)?

d;world#raytraceentities

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.World#rayTraceEntities

@Nullable
RayTraceResult rayTraceEntities(@NotNull Location start, @NotNull Vector direction, double maxDistance, double raySize)```

Description:

Performs a ray trace that checks for entity collisions.

This may not consider entities in currently unloaded chunks. Some implementations may impose artificial restrictions on the maximum distance.

Returns:

the closest ray trace hit result, or null if there is no hit

Parameters:

start - the start position
direction - the ray direction
maxDistance - the maximum distance
raySize - entity bounding boxes will be uniformly expanded (or shrinked) by this value before doing collision checks

Page 2 • Requested by: srnyx • spigot

[forest jay]

I think I can use this with the players look direction and then using a raysize of 3 to expand the hitbox by 3 times.

[dark garnet]

ye that should work

wait will the result return a list of entities? or just one? if it just returns 1, it might not work if other players r nearby (unless u add a predicate)

[forest jay]

its just one

[forest jay]

here is how I did it

Entity entity = newPlayer.getWorld().rayTraceEntities(newPlayer.getLocation(), 
    newPlayer.getLocation().getDirection(), 
    3, 
    3, 
    entity1 -> entity1 instanceof Player && !Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().contains(entity1)).getHitEntity();

if (entity == null) {
    continue;
}```

[dark garnet]

u can remove the !Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().contains(entity1) part, entity1 instanceof Player already does the equivalent of it (since a Player can only represent an online player)

wait

[forest jay]

well no, because an NPC is a player

it is a ServerPlayer

[dark garnet]

oh

that is weird

[forest jay]

I already tried the first part alone

its weird, an NPC is like a fake player

it isnt considered an online player, but is still a "player"

[dark garnet]

r u using java 16+?

also if u have other npcs in ur world, u should add another check to make sure its the right one, unless it doesnt matter what npc it is

[forest jay]

I am using Java 17

[forest jay]

yeah I have something for that too

I was having issues of the npcs being triggered by other npcs as well

that is where the check for if it was an online player came in

[dark garnet]

u should do this then: entity1 instanceof Player player1 && !Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().contains(player1)
just for consistency and readability

[forest jay]

yeah I have the pattern variable in my current code

[dark garnet]

o ok, i dont get such privileges in java 8

[forest jay]

yeah, that is one of the big reasons I am coding for 1.19

just the straight up java features are worth it

[dark garnet]

ye im only doing 1.11+ cause its an api

[forest jay]

ah

I am building my own network, and I just going to make a backwards compatible system to allow previous versions

[dark garnet]

have u already tried viaversion + viabackwards (+ viarewind)?

[forest jay]

yeah. and then I am modifying the server jar to make it as bare bones as physically possible for my server

[dark garnet]

sry i cant choose 😭

[forest jay]

I am not too worried about performance, but it is still good to consider

[dusky harness]

you probably won't care about this but I found https://github.com/Bloom-host/Petal which is a fork of pufferfish which is already fast which might have patches that you want 🤷

it's still new though and might not be stable

[forest jay]

yeah, it is fun being the only one who gives a f*ck about anything related to the server, and being able to make all the choices.

[forest jay]

yeah, I have heard of Petal, but havent tested it out yet

[dusky harness]

ah alr

just wanted to put it out there in case you haven't

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark garnet]

oh i was talking about me choosing which big brain emoji to use but yea that too

[dark garnet]

wasnt there controversy with bloom host? or was that a different one

[forest jay]

ah, applies anyways

[dusky harness]

no idea i haven't heard of any controversy of any hosting company

[forest jay]

from everyone I know they love Bloom

[dark garnet]

probs a different host then

[forest jay]

I know OVH has some controversy

I am not really sure what their issues were, but I have heard from a lot of people to stay away from them

[dark garnet]

it was a while ago, it was just a host doing sketchy stuff or something idk

[forest jay]

ah

[jade wave]

[dark garnet]

anyone else know what BM meant cause he is no where to be seen 😭

[pulsar ferry]

Wdym by "it'll be downloaded twice"?

Need more context and too lazy to go up and read all

[forest jay]

I tried this and it still triggers if they are anywhere around me, not just if I am facing them

[dark garnet]

ignore that, just need this answered:

but what would relocating do exactly, and exactly how would i go about doing it if i did do it?

[dark garnet]

try using newPlayer.getEyeLocation().getDirection()

[forest jay]

I am currently using that

[dark garnet]

this is what i have:

final Location eye = tagger.getEyeLocation();
tagger.getWorld().rayTrace(eye, eye.getDirection(), range, FluidCollisionMode.NEVER, true, size, check);```

[forest jay]

RayTraceResult result = newPlayer.getWorld().rayTraceEntities(newPlayer.getLocation(), newPlayer.getEyeLocation().getDirection(), 3, 2, entity1 -> entity1 instanceof Player player1 && !Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().contains(player1));

if (result == null || result.getHitEntity() == null) {
    continue;
}

if (result.getHitEntity().equals(getEntity().getEntity()))
    inDialogue.add(openPlayerDialogue(newPlayer));

[dark garnet]

im not using rayTraceEntities because i also needed to check for blocks

[dark garnet]

i think 2 is too big

mine uses 0.2 and it just barely goes off of the entity

[forest jay]

it is supposed to be a multiplier of their hitbox

I think*

[dark garnet]

i dont think so idk

cause 0.1 is if u want them to be looking directly at them

[pulsar ferry]

I don't know about your case specifically but here is an example
Plugin A shades lib A v1
Plugin B shades lib A v2
If A loads first, it'll load v1 therefore breaking B
If B relocates A to be B.A, now plugin A shades lib A, and plugin B shades B.A, now when they load it'll be loaded like a different lib therefore not causing any issues

[forest jay]

raySize - entity bounding boxes will be uniformly expanded (or shrinked) by this value before doing collision checks

[dark garnet]

ye but ive tested it a lot

cause im making a laser tag plugin

[forest jay]

is it expanded by blocks?

[dark garnet]

i have no idea, i just continuously tested until i got what i wanted 💀 (which is 0.2, gives the player a little bit of aim assist, but not too much)

[forest jay]

ah

[dark garnet]

i was using 1 at first and every time we tested the game ppl would be able to shoot players way too easily (basically not actually hitting them)

[dark garnet]

ohhhhh, so if:
Plugin A shades lib A v1
Plugin B shades nothing
Plugin B will still be able to use lib A v1 from Plugin A's shading of it?
not what i want to do, but this will help me understand it

[forest jay]

I tried 0.8 and it works perfectly 🙂

[dark garnet]

yay!

[forest jay]

I will send video in a few minutes

[dark garnet]

alr

btw u should probably make it check if the npc is nearby the player (maxDistance) so that it doesnt fire unnecessary ray traces (unless Entity#getNearbyEntities uses ray tracing, but idk)

d;entity#getnearbyentities

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.entity.Entity#getNearbyEntities

@NotNull
List<Entity> getNearbyEntities(double x, double y, double z)```

Description:

Returns a list of entities within a bounding box centered around this entity

Returns:

List<Entity> List of entities nearby

Parameters:

x - 1/2 the size of the box along x axis
y - 1/2 the size of the box along y axis
z - 1/2 the size of the box along z axis

Requested by: srnyx • spigot

[forest jay]

I check that first actually

and then it loops through those and then does the raycasts

and it only raycasts every 5 ticks, which means it has a little lag, but doesnt slow down the server

[pulsar ferry]

Yeah

[dark garnet]

ok so i should definitely relocate

[dark crag]

how is the real api
i need the api
the plugin is not working

[lyric gyro]

bro what

[wintry frost]

Are their any sources to see api changes from 1.19.2 to 1.19.3?

[leaden plume]

exactly smh

[dark crag]

Bro
Is not working
This
import me.clip.placeholderapi.expansion.PlaceholderExpansion;
Is not working

[spiral prairie]

okay

[dark crag]

Bro I need the right api to program my coin system because the plugin doesn't work

[pulsar ferry]

At the end, the real api was the friends we made along the way

[dark garnet]

the real api, they need the api for their plugin

hope that helps

[dark garnet]

this is the closest thing i could find: https://hub.spigotmc.org/changelog/

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/commits/bf3239f7a3d8ff0359bcacd13012081146ff3c3b

[dark garnet]

i forgot to ask how to relocate or if u have a recommended guide

[pulsar ferry]

https://imperceptiblethoughts.com/shadow/configuration/relocation/

[dark garnet]

oh its literally just that ok

[pulsar ferry]

Yeah it's very simple

[dark garnet]

now could it be possible for my api to be relocated without requiring anything in the project using the api?

so like something i could put into the api to make that happen?

if not, how do ppl usually make an api, ensuring versioning isnt an issue and without requiring relocation?

[forest jay]

What do you mean "doesn't work"

[dark garnet]

is this the correct way to relocate? or should the destination be in a different format?

relocate("xyz.srnyx.annoyingapi", "xyz.srnyx.annoyingexample.annoyingapi")```*`xyz.srnyx.annoyingexample` is the plugin*

[lyric gyro]

sure

[echo birch]

yes

[river solstice]

hey. I've a question with dependencies.
currently I have a quite big dependency (is not a plugin) that I shadow inside the plugin.
is there a way to just place it in the plugins subdirectory 'libs' or something like that and load it from there?

or since it's an implementation it wont work?

[dark crag]

I can't import me.clip.placeholderapi.PlaceholderAPI;
import it says does not exist I need the api for my coin system to display it in the scoreboard

[forest jay]

Show me your pom.xml or build.gradle

You are most likely importing it wrong

[dark crag]

I don't have I have ecplise

@forest jay

[dense drift]

add the papi jar there and I guess it will work

it is highly recommended to use a build tool

[forest jay]

A build tool would make it way easier

[wheat carbon]

curious, did a youtube tutorial make you use eclipse?

[forest jay]

I don't know eclipse, I am a JetBrains guy, you might want to Google it.

[wheat carbon]

just curious how people stumble onto eclipse in 2022

i'm guessing it's ancient youtube tutorials

[dark crag]

Java build path?

[dense drift]

exactly piggy

idk, however you added spigot api @dark crag

tbf I found it more difficult at the beginning to build a jar using the built in thing than with maven

[worthy quartz]

maven is easy

slap some plugins and dependencies and mvn package does the heavy lifting for you :)

[dark crag]

I can't send a screenshot here, but I have the 1.16.5 spigot jar in it, yes

after you figure this out, help yourself and change the tutorial you are watching

don't watch tutorials

read the docs

and use intellij

and maven

[dense drift]

reading the docs is not for everyone

[worthy quartz]

upgrading from eclipse to intellij is like upgrading from a toyota to a bugatti

[worthy quartz]

he has to learn to read the docs, because there aren't tutorials for everything

it's the same in the hardware parts

[dark crag]

The problem is I have no idea how to import plugins like Vault LuckPerms or something

[worthy quartz]

if I want to drive an IC I don't go on youtube and watch what to connect where

I open the datasheet of the specific IC and read how to make it work

[dense drift]

Starting by reading docs and reading docs later on to learn about a functionality are two different things

[dark crag]

Just tell me how the shit goes

[dense drift]

Max, nobody uses the default build tool of eclipse

[worthy quartz]

sorry, we're not your parents to spoonfeed you. first, you are not a baby, you can eat by your own. we can only cook you the food.

[forest jay]

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Go there

Once you download it, install the Minecraft Development plugin. Then create a new spigot project, and it will set everything up for you.

Then it is literally pasting one line of code to add papi

[worthy quartz]

minecraft development plugin kinda sucks tbh

[forest jay]

It's easy for beginners tho

@dense drift please make a rule so that everyone who uses eclipse and asks questions about eclipse here shall be banned. Thanks <3

[brittle thunder]

Outdated, cumbersome, lacks in any sort of customizations to the build flow, requires local jar files for all dependencies,

[worthy quartz]

little to no support for maven and gradle to add *

[dense drift]

read the topic of the channel

the problem wasn't eclipse, but its build system

[hoary scarab]

How is it outdated? Its still getting updates.
You can use maven or gradle if you don't like its build path.

[brittle thunder]

oh eclipse works fine with maven, havent tried with gradle, but the problem I mentioned is its inbuilt build system (in reply to ivan)

[worthy quartz]

getting updates != not outdated

[brittle thunder]

Outdated in the sense it doesnt have any value in the current system

[hoary scarab]

I prefer the build path rather than maven or gradle

[brittle thunder]

No one wants to sit down and do all dependency resolutions by hand

[hoary scarab]

Only reason I use maven is for later minecraft versions because I make use of the spigot maven plugin

[brittle thunder]

Sure, you do you ig

[worthy quartz]

well then. what if you had 20+ dependencies? you're still gonna do the "build path"

[hoary scarab]

I do 😉

[brittle thunder]

Ok?

[hoary scarab]

Yeap and I do xD

[brittle thunder]

Have fun, ig?

lol

[lyric gyro]

you can't integrate it in CI

that is crucial to many devs

[worthy quartz]

well what about if it is a open source plugin and I want to contribute? I'd directly be pushed back from contributing if it doesn't use maven or gradle.

[worthy quartz]

that's too one of the many downsides of using this method

[hoary scarab]

37 dependencies currently in my minions plugin

Hello, is there a way to hide splash potion effect when we throw it for specific players only ?

[river solstice]

I sincerely doubt that, but you do you

[forest jay]

from my knowledge potion effects are client side, although I bet there is a way to hide it. I think I have seen some people do it.

@warm spear https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/hiding-and-creating-splash-potion-particles.157470/ here is a forum post on how to do it

[dusky harness]

although that's particles

by potion effect he probably means like the potion effect status shown

which im not sure can be hidden

[forest jay]

he mentioned splash effect

[dusky harness]

yes

which I would think would refer to actual splash effect / particles, not the gui, but idk

Here @dusky harness

[edgy anchor]

I'm enquiring about a spigot plugin I'm writing, its a collection of "microplugins" which can be enabled and disabled on the fly, there is one class I need the entire plugin to be able to use and see updates on unanimously, how would I do this in Java?
(Because this class is how the features can tell whether they are enabled or disabled, and also communicate about their status
Essentially a "global" initialisation of this class, in the really stupid way of saying it
I was passing this class to each of the commands and features, but it seems to have fallen out of sync

I've been fiddling with static, but I'm not sure how to do it properly

Because I dont want to hand the controller itself to the individual features for the sake of "dont let things have more power than they need" each feature has a "meta" class which is able to control its specific status within the controller, preventing the feature from fiddling with things outside of its intended scope

I think thats where this is going wrong, when initialising the meta class I pass the controller into it, but when I update the controller elsewhere, the meta classes do not receive that update

    public void enableItemEco() {
        featureMeta meta = new featureMeta(featurecontroller, featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO, null);
        Material currencyItemType = Material.matchMaterial(getConfig().getString("ItemEco.currency-item"));
        commandSkeleton depositCommand = new commandSkeleton("deposit", new depositCommand(econ,this, helper,meta));
        commandSkeleton withdrawCommand = new commandSkeleton("withdraw", new withdrawCommand(econ,this, helper,meta));
        featurecontroller.setCommands(featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO, new commandSkeleton[]{depositCommand,withdrawCommand});
        if(getConfig().getBoolean("ItemEco.enabled")) {
            if(featurecontroller.getFeatureStatus(featurecontroller.VAULT_API) == featurecontroller.FAILED) {
                getLogger().warning("ItemEco has been disabled due to Vault API status FAILED. Please install > https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/vault.34315/");
                featurecontroller.disableFeature(featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO);
            } else if(currencyItemType == null) {
                getLogger().warning("Disabling ItemEco as item specified in config cannot be found");
                featurecontroller.disableFeature(featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO);
            } else {
                featurecontroller.enableFeature(featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO);
                getLogger().info("ItemEco is now enabled");
            }
        } else {
            getLogger().info("ItemEco disabled by config");
            featurecontroller.disableFeature(featurecontroller.ITEM_ECO);
        }

    }

Example of one of the actual parts which enables the features

the meta class, which is given to each of the commands and events

package life.ferret.ferretPlugin.FerretCoreTools;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;

public class featureMeta {
    private featureController controller;
    private String featureName;

    private String disabledMessage = ChatColor.RED + "Feature is currently disabled";

    public featureMeta(featureController featureController, String featureName, String disabledMessage) {
        this.controller = featureController;
        this.featureName = featureName;
        if(disabledMessage != null) {
            this.disabledMessage = disabledMessage;
        }
    }

    public boolean iAmDisabled() {
        if(controller.getFeatureStatus(featureName) != controller.DISABLED) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public void selfDisable() {
        controller.disableFeature(featureName);
    }

    public boolean continuePermitted(CommandSender sender) {
        if(iAmDisabled()) {
            sender.sendMessage(disabledMessage);
            return false;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
}

[edgy anchor]

I know this has funny sounding method names, but when the features use it, it sounds more appropriate, meta.iAmDisabled() is easy to understand in an if statement and the like for human readability

Sorry for the giant wall!

Any support is appreciated <33333

(This is after I have been fiddling with static methods btw, which is why it doesnt look like its an instance like it was before, Just realised those changes are in the copypaste)

originally the featurecontroller was an instanced object made in the main class of the plugin and passed around

(Edited so they are now back to the original instanced versions I was talking about

private featureController controller; is it this specifically which I want to make static? And nothing else? I feel that might be it

just where the classes are actually taking in the variable

I'm going to give that a try for learning purposes

Didn't seem to change anything

(Happy to open a branch of my repo to commit my current work to look at with someone!

[signal grove]

what exactly is featurecontroller used for

you have a disable function within each feature

you can store the boolean within that class, and leave the featurecontroller out of it

then you can also use it in your iAmDisabled() method

this way, you won't need static featurecontroller, nor do you need to inject it into each feature

something like this

package life.ferret.ferretPlugin.FerretCoreTools;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;

public class featureMeta {
    private String featureName;
    private boolean enabled;

    private String disabledMessage = ChatColor.RED + "Feature is currently disabled";

    public featureMeta(String featureName, String disabledMessage) {
        this.featureName = featureName;
        this.enabled = true;
        if(disabledMessage != null) {
            this.disabledMessage = disabledMessage;
        }
    }

    public boolean iAmDisabled() {
        return !enabled;
    }

    public void selfDisable() {
        enabled = false;
    }

    public boolean continuePermitted(CommandSender sender) {
        if(iAmDisabled()) {
            sender.sendMessage(disabledMessage);
            return false;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
}

[edgy anchor]

Feature controller is for the core command which allows it to monitor the status of the plugin, and control the operatiion of the features, it also manages a bunch of other useful stuff!

[signal grove]

ok, what i would do is have featurecontroller store a list or map of featureMeta objects

[edgy anchor]

And then feed those meta objects to the induvidual features?

which can call back to it?

[signal grove]

im not sure what you mean yet, i meant featurecontroller would store something like HashMap<String, featureMeta> allFeatures

then you could make calls such as

featureMeta feature1 = allFeatures.get('feature1');
feature1.disable()

something like that, is just pseudocode though

I am raycasting from the player eyes in the direction of their eyes. I am running into issues of things colliding with the player from behind and triggering the raycast. I was thinking, I could just move the ray forward in the direction of the player's eye, but I cant figure out how to do that. Is there something built in for what? What would be the best approach? Thanks! 🙂

[lyric gyro]

there's a ray trace method that takes a Predicate, you can pass one that returns false when the entity is the player

[forest jay]

well, I need to check for players

but it should only trigger when facing a NPC (which is technically a player), but when the collide, their hitbox cross into the raycast

[lyric gyro]

ignore the player

not every player

[forest jay]

but how do I know that it isnt a player I want?

the NPCs move around

that is why they collide

[lyric gyro]

you don't want the ray to collide with the player you're raycasting from, right?

[forest jay]

thats not the issue

it doesnt collide with the player it is raycasting from.

An NPC has the chance of walking into the player, at that moment, the NPC's hitbox collides with the raycast and the server thinks the player is look at it, even though it is behind/to the side of them.

does that make sense?

[round sail]

start the raycast forward so it’s coming from in front of the players eyes and not center of head. If that still produces that behavior in a way you don’t want I think you’d begin sacrificing accuracy to make it any better.

or idk if one of the ray trace methods has like a minimum distance thing.

[signal grove]

so you can get the players eye location, and add an offset of the players radius to it, in their eye direction

float radius = Math.sqrt(2*0.4*0.4); // Get a "rounded" radius circumscribing the hitbox.
Vector dir = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection().normalize();
Vector offset = dir.multiply(radius); 
Location startingLocation = player.getEyeLocation().add(offset);

you may need some more casting, this is just a guess

[forest jay]

it is already coming from the eyes

[forest jay]

this looks promising, I wasnt sure how to execute this. Thanks, I will try it in a sec. 🙂

[calm loom]

How do I when a block is place send a message in chat?

[broken elbow]

Would be nice if you kept the questions to a single channel. Thank you. Here is the same answer I gave you in #dev-general: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[calm loom]

Okay ty for that but how do i make it so it just has to be like right clicked like it doesnt have to be placed

[broken elbow]

You use the PlayerInteractEvent

[calm loom]

tysm

[broken elbow]

the event has a method called getAction which will tell you what type of interaction was made

d;spigot PlayerInteractEvent#getAction

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent#getAction

@NotNull
public Action getAction()```

Description:

Returns the action type

Returns:

Action returns the type of interaction

Requested by: BlitzOffline • spigot

[calm loom]

Could you write an example?

im still kinda confused

i get the jistr

but im confused on how i would write that out

[broken elbow]

import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;

public class RightClickBlockListener implements Listener {

    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
            event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You right clicked a block!");
        }
    }
}

[calm loom]

tysm man

[calm loom]

is it possible to brodcast that message like instead of event get player it would be event broadcast send message "blah blah blah

[broken elbow]

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;

            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getPlayer().getName() + " right clicked a block!");
        }
    }
}

[calm loom]

i know i have already asked for alot but im guessing for a specific block i would do get clicked block and then if its my block that i want to be clicked it executes and that is alll i need

[broken elbow]

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;

        if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK) {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getPlayer().getName() + " right clicked a diamond block!");
        }
    }
}

TimerCommand.createTimer(); if i dont put any time in the parthensasies it will allow for the command sender to choose correct?

[broken elbow]

No idea what TimerCommand is

Is that your own code? Or where is that class from?

[calm loom]

my own

can you not help me in that case

[broken elbow]

Well then you'll have to show me the class to know that.

Since your question makes no sense without context

Put the code in a paste bin like https://paste.helpch.at and send the paste here

[mystic gull]

Hello what is the most efficient way for item events, checking item displayName or adding a custom nbt tag and checking for it ?

[pulsar ferry]

NBT tag

[broken elbow]

And even better, if it's 1.14+ you can just use the built in PersistentDataContainer instead of having to work with NMS or to use a library/plugin like NBT API

[hoary scarab]

Itemstacks don't have PDC yet do they?

[spiral prairie]

._.

do item stacks have nbt?

[hoary scarab]

Yes

[spiral prairie]

so, yes

[hoary scarab]

Not asking about nbt. Talking about PDC which is usually limited to entities, certain blocks (tile entities) etc...

[spiral prairie]

pdc basically is nbt

[hoary scarab]

Yes but it's a different object in minecraft

[spiral prairie]

no its not

pdc is bukkitValues in NBT

[hoary scarab]

If I rember right, Item has PDC but ItemStack has nbt. 2 different accessible objects

[hoary scarab]

So it does have it now

[spiral prairie]

get the item meta and then the pdc

[hoary scarab]

Just say that xD

[spiral prairie]

.

just read my message xD

[hoary scarab]

You were implying nbt and pdc were the same which wasn't my question.

2 different objects

[spiral prairie]

?

i answered your question

my point was pdc being nbt but with a bukkit wrapper

[lyric gyro]

PDC is how you store things in the NBT within the API

NBT does not exist in API

Of course they are two different objects, they exist in two entirely separate realms

[spiral prairie]

^

if the thing has nbt, it 99.9% has pdc too

[pulsar ferry]

Since 1.14

[forest jay]

I am having an issue using Paper 1.18.2, I put the API version as 1.12, as that is the lowest it is supposed to go down. But, it says invalid api version 1.12, is there a reason to this?

[dense drift]

api version was introduced in 1.13, so the lowest value is 1.13

[broken elbow]

if you want to support lower than 1.13, just don't set that version at all. At least I believe that's what you have to do

[dense drift]

nah it works fine

the check only exists on 1.13+ anyways

[dusky harness]

No you shouldn't include it or else spigot won't apply backwards compatibility

It'd be nice if it had Sound compat too though

[dense drift]

just don't set that version at all.
i was refering to this

[spiral prairie]

what? https://upload.skyslycer.de/idea64_D8Dae6JQhH.png

github workflow/actions question
hi ive already hit my google limit for this issue, so im asking here now
i have 2 jar files generated in api/build/libs and 1 jar file generated in example-plugin/build/libs
i want to have all 3 of those jar files put into the root directory of the Artifact ZIP file when using actions/upload-artifact@v3.1.1
this is what i currently have:

- name: Upload artifacts
  uses: "actions/upload-artifact@v3.1.1"
  with:
    name: AnnoyingAPI
    path: |
      api/build/libs
      example-plugin/build/libs```however, the structure in the artifact zip file is like this:```
api/build/libs:
  1.jar
  2.jar
example-plugin/build/libs:
  3.jar```when it needs to be this:```
1.jar
2.jar
3.jar```

[broken elbow]

try setting the absolute path not the parent directory.

so

- name: Upload artifacts
  uses: "actions/upload-artifact@v3.1.1"
  with:
    name: AnnoyingAPI
    path: |
      api/build/libs/1.jar
      api/build/libs/2.jar
      example-plugin/build/libs/3.jar

[spiral prairie]

and mine?

[hoary scarab]

🤦

[spiral prairie]

your point was there were two different objects in the api

my point was pdc is nbt

i have no idea why youre having a tough time understanding it

and i dont know why youre trying to continue this beef

[hoary scarab]

If I continue with the convo I'll just have to keep using the face palm emoji at this point.

[spiral prairie]

explain to me why that is dumb

i have time

[hoary scarab]

I didn't say it was dumb. I said they were 2 different objects

[dense drift]

https://github.com/srnyx/annoying-api/blob/main/api/src/main/java/xyz/srnyx/annoyingapi/AnnoyingUtility.java#L42

[broken elbow]

PDC just saves the tags as NBT tags under the BukkitValues tag

[dense drift]

yeah, pdc is just bukkit's nbt implementation, nothing more

[spiral prairie]

and i said that both are in fact NBT (storage wise)

[broken elbow]

but yes they are different objects. one is a wrapper for the other one however

[spiral prairie]

i was making the point that anything that has NBT has PDC

what the two objects in the shitty bukkit api have to do with my point or your question is still a mystery to me. please elaborate

[icy shadow]

most productive #development conversation

[broken elbow]

second most productive. pretty sure the most productive conversation was the one betwen mrivanplays and modi yesterday

[icy shadow]

oh yeah that was pretty good

[dense drift]

PDC is a NBT compound, NBT represents anything about an item (display, durability, enchantments, etc.)

[dark garnet]

cause its annoying to use (at least for other ppl lmao, i understand it completely 😈)

[spiral prairie]

and?

[dense drift]

anything that has NBT has PDC
is the other way around, if something has PDC it has NBT

[dark garnet]

is there a way to "move compiled jars in the workflow/job" or something?

[spiral prairie]

sorry, let me rephrase: Anything that has NBT has the possibility to have a PDC added through the Bukkit API

[dark garnet]

nah, most productive was in #dev-general 2 days ago trying to compile a project

[pulsar ferry]

I have no idea tbh, I'd say your best bet is to open an issue on the action's github and ask if it's possible

[dark garnet]

sounds like work, its christmas so ill let future me deal with it :D (thanks future me, ur always there for me )

Question: I use WE to create a custom enchantment that will destroy blocks in an area. What would be a good way to remove only blocks that are inside the mine region (a rectangle)? I was thinking about using EditSession#replace (since I need to access each block to create drops anyways) and check if its location is within mine's region

[spiral prairie]

WorldEdit?

oh

i thought you created an enchantment through WE

[lyric gyro]

lol

[dense drift]

the power of friendship

[spiral prairie]

i mean, if the area isnt too large, you could just go with bukkit

[lyric gyro]

eeeh

[spiral prairie]

loop through all coords and just break naturally

[dense drift]

god no

[lyric gyro]

hold up let me try something

this is gonna be terrible

[spiral prairie]

you can create a CuboidRegion

[lyric gyro]

oh god

this works

this is so terrible

/fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:air destroy

[dense drift]

smh

I will use WE, that's not the question

[lyric gyro]

i don't know if WE API lets you easily generate drops tho

like when "destroying" blocks

[dense drift]

oh no, my question is what would be a good way to check if block x is within the mine region

Something like this, the black rectangle is the mine and the red one is the region where blocks will be broken

I need to loop trough each block to generate the drops, if I can access the location via EditSession#replace(Region, Pattern) (I think it is pattern), that's fine I guess

[lyric gyro]

I feel like you're doing this the wrong way around

I would first generate the collection of blocks to destroy, and as you generate it check that it's within bounds (also let's you "fail-fast" and stop going forward once you "hit a wall"), and then batch-destroy them

[proud pebble]

when implementing enchantments inside of a mine i just checked if block isAABB and changing the drop if it was

[lyric gyro]

Because destroying them one by one and generating drops as you go is going to be slower, there are a bunch of special cases that make batch replacement faster

[proud pebble]

couldnt you just count how many of those blocks in a region is inside and outside of the black box and do some bs to generate the drops for all of them instead of doing it one by one

tho that would be less accurate afaik

i think when i attempted to do mass generation of drops i just forlooped from 0 to total blocks

[dense drift]

My idea was to use EditSession#replace which in theory loops trough each block, and if it is inside the mine I then add the drops to a list and set the block to air
after than call EditSession#flush or whatever the method is

[proud pebble]

i think every tool ive seen for calculating drops just generated the drops X times for how many times its supposed to do it

[dense drift]

replaceBlocks actually https://github.com/EngineHub/WorldEdit/blob/master/worldedit-core/src/main/java/com/sk89q/worldedit/EditSession.java#L1207

[signal grove]

Is it a question of efficiently splitting the regioms or a question of how to break only certain blocks with drops

[dense drift]

I think something like this will do

session.replaceBlocks(
  region,
  Mask (vector) -> // check if the location is within the mine location and generate the drops according to its material
  Pattern () -> // set all blocks to air
);```

[signal grove]

Is fill destroy inefficient

I’m wondering if you can first delete the blocks outside the regions

Then just fill destroy the overlap to get the drops handled

[dense drift]

wdym?

[signal grove]

the question is about efficiently generating drops right

[dense drift]

Well, I was wondering how I can check if the block is within the mine region, but that is easy to solve because Mask providers a BlockVector3

About drops, in theory I think I need to check only certain materials that have different drops regarding if the pickaxe has silktouch or not

[signal grove]

Maybe a map of materials to their silk touch counterparts

And if it doesn’t exist as a key, it’s normal

[dense drift]

yeah yeah

btw, why just do not simply use groovy for scripting? It's much more comfortable.

i think it was because JS was included below java 16 (like 70% sure)

and because no server owner knows about groovy

groovy is better for people who wanna move from js

groovy is a dynamic language

I've never used JS myself so I can't say much

I do know that nashorn isn't exactly JS though

you can simply run this code and dump after few minutes

[flat anchor]

same as each request

[dense drift]

According to some SO posts, looks like we can use a single ScriptEngine and just create new bindings for each execution

Though they say the nashorn engine is not thread safe, so I guess we can create a separate engine for each thread that is not the main thread (maybe a cache?)?

[flat anchor]

ThreadLocal exists

i tried asking ChatGPT but it keeps telling me the same things over and over and over and over again, basically just telling me to make sure its relocated correctly (which it is)

now its telling me to make sure the classes dont have any syntax errors... of course they dont... or else they wouldnt be able to be compiled...

ChatGPT is actually wrong a lot of the time

It's not groundbreaking by any means

[dark garnet]

ok now its working :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD i love when things randomly starting working :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i love when i change absolutely nothing and it just magically fixes itself, soooooo amazing

[rugged bane]

It’s been fantastic from personal experience, I use it a lot at work

[icy shadow]

I'm not saying it's bad but probably around half of the things I've tried have given subtly wrong responses, especially if you're asking it for code

It'll just make functions and things up a lot of the time

[rugged bane]

Ahhh, yeah - I’ve only asked it questions like naming tests, and Amazon AWS stuff

Not really code so much

[brittle thunder]

Yup, generates senseless modifiers for compose, almost always

[dark garnet]

but i use chatgpt to code all my stuff guys

if u dont then ur not a real programmer

[icy shadow]

it's good as more of a google alternative but for actual code questions it's really not great

[brittle thunder]

Mhm

[rugged bane]

I think that’s how I’d describe it too

[brittle thunder]

It does work with code if the question is very general

[rugged bane]

Amazing for asking questions that saved hunting google

[icy shadow]

yeah and also it's decent at stuff like generating text

[brittle thunder]

Specific to any libraries is well yea, expectly not too well

[icy shadow]

mm

[mental cypress]

I've had a decent experience with it so far.

[icy shadow]

yeah it's not bad by any means

has many good uses

[dark garnet]

BM where were u for the past week or so

[icy shadow]
