aha

so the taskID

is a field variable that is not dependent on the player's name

What you should do is make a runnable class

or just store all taskIDs to a list if you wanna do this

I personally would make a runnable class that does everything at once

so one runnable that goes every 20 ticks, doing all the ability stuff

[echo briar]

ah okay, could you possibly make a small example of how that would look? using a runnable class instead?

[grim oasis]

gives armor, removes armor, etc.

I would also change your items to be created only once

[echo briar]

okay

[grim oasis]

create private field variables, initialize them in the constructor

instead of every right click

[echo briar]

gotcha, okay

[grim oasis]

public class MinerRunnable extends BukkitRunnable {
    
    private static //counter map
    
    public void run() {
    }
    
}

I'd say make a map per ability if you have multiple

and just add the player to it then they first activate

but that runnable should run every 20 ticks no matter what

[echo briar]

Ahhh alright, i'll see if i can get that to work

[prisma briar]

How can I create a system to hides players' nametag but only visually to certain players? I want to hide the nametag If the player e.g: behind a block, sneaking, etc.

[wintry grove]

I think there is a packet for that?

[grand canyon]

Regarding threads when its done how can you get the results?

[dusty frost]

CompletableFutures usually

and/or callbacks

[icy shadow]

poobacks

[grand canyon]

Imagine you have List<BlockPos> of different positions. What is preferable the best method to figure out which of all those locations are the closed to the player?

[sterile hinge]

a loop?

[worn jasper]

When a player is kicked, is the playerquit event called?

[grand canyon]

yea

[worn jasper]

Okay, also, do PDCs run async?

In the sense of taking a while to return something?

[grand canyon]

pdc?

[worn jasper]

Cause I am having issues with pdcs where if I leave when the pdc is getting changed, it resets it

PDC = PersistentDataContainer

[grand canyon]

ic

[worn jasper]

So....

[sterile hinge]

what does "taking a while" mean

everything is taking a while

[worn jasper]

Well it means that by the time it changes, I am not online anymore

[sterile hinge]

that might be ugly details of the implementation - if the event is called after the player data is saved, changes to it when handling the event won't be written anymore

[pure crater]

Seems really hacky lol

[sterile hinge]

all that versioning stuff is basically just a strategy pattern

[dense drift]

what if getTag would be a Map<ServerVersion, String> getTagMethod?

[hoary scarab]

Cause then I have to create a map entry of each version instead of specific ones.

[dense drift]

there's getOrDefault

[hoary scarab]

True. Wanted to stick with enums though but doesn't look like its possible in the way I want.

Ah... My thought process was if I do it as maps I still have to do multiple methods to check the version and add the input to the map so might as well use enums since it was basically the same. ("basically the same" in this case not all)

My issue is really just not being able to variablize as enum lol (Ex; Enum variable;)

[dense drift]

?

[hoary scarab]

Since I couldn't do Enum current; I went with trying to nest and use interface

[dense drift]

I mean, you still need an interface for enums, how else would you be able to call that extra getMethod() on just Enum?

[sterile hinge]

why don't you just write a strategy-pattern like implementation for each version?

[dense drift]

^

[sterile hinge]

it's the typical approach for a reason

[hoary scarab]

Such as?

[sterile hinge]

you have a common interface, e.g. Adapter, with methods that do what you need to do version-specific. Then, you have one implementation of that interface for each version

[hoary scarab]

Cause I didn't wanna multi-class it

[sterile hinge]

?

[hoary scarab]

Just got rid of having a class per version xD

[dense drift]

Is either what ywell suggested or reflections, there's no in between

[sterile hinge]

what's the problem with that?

and what's the advantage of anything else?

[hoary scarab]

I don't like having the same code in 17 different classes lol

[hoary scarab]

Cleanliness...

[sterile hinge]

so you rather write more code, less understable in one class?

[hoary scarab]

Less code and to the point in 1 to 2 classes yes.

[sterile hinge]

have fun debugging that mess ig

[hoary scarab]

Haven't had a problem with it. Just have to add the method names for new versions but wanted to clean it up by using enums

[sterile hinge]

I mean yeah, you can do that

but that all looks inefficient af

[hoary scarab]

I mean its cached so...

Might not even do enums cause its still a bunch of them spammed with getMethod() xD

[sterile hinge]

so... you create one class per method with n objects each instead of n classes and one object at runtime

[hoary scarab]

I wanna say not at runtime as I create the instance of the class async when its ready to be loaded.

[high edge]

Please don't tell me you use white theme

[hoary scarab]

Of course I do.

[high edge]

burn the heretic.

[hoary scarab]

I don't have weak eyes 😉

[dense drift]

man, this is anything but clean

[hoary scarab]

Read the message above that one lol

[dense drift]

Still

[warm steppe]

Is that eclipse?

[hoary scarab]

Yes

[kind granite]

may i introduce you to my good friend extends

[hoary scarab]

Try using extends on enum classes 😉

[kind granite]

try using enums appropriately 😉

use a map like gaby suggested

[hoary scarab]

Read the conversation you necro posted too lol

[kind granite]

i have

most of it was you ignoring people

[hoary scarab]

Then you didn't read it right.

Carry on.

[torpid raft]

necro posted? is this a forum

[lyric gyro]

I mean that's literally what happened, you shared something and you literally asked for suggestions, then you proceeded to ignore every single response

[hoary scarab]

Best term for the situation

[torpid raft]

your first message is 3 hours old

[lyric gyro]

lol

[hoary scarab]

Yeah convo ended over an hour before lucyy made a comment.

[torpid raft]

well it is a public chat, i can't imagine that you only wanted one person to respond

[limber hedge]

    private static void createExample() {
        ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.NETHERITE_SWORD);
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();

        meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + "EXAMPLE");
        List<String> lore = new ArrayList();
        
        lore.add(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&7EXAMPLE LORE"));
        meta.setLore(lore);
        meta.hasItemFlag(ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);

        Pole = item;
    }```
Why does the ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES not work here?

The item still has attributes

[hoary scarab]

"has"? You need addItemFlag

[hoary scarab]

Yeah but posting long after a conversation ended... Meh

[limber hedge]

🤦‍♂️

[kind granite]

its one c and two ys damnit >:(

[amber briar]

I wonder how young one must be to still quantify 3 hours as long... I mean I know time seems to speed up as you get older, but....

I mean you can kill 2+ hours easily by watching a movie or 45m-1hr TV episodes

Time in that case just ✨vanishes✨

[torn heart]

i'm trying to get better at working with npcs and such, and i looked for some threads and found out how to add the top layer of a skin for example. they used this resource to figure out the id's: https://wiki.vg/Entity_metadata#Player

thing is because its updated for 1.19, and i'm working on 1.8, the index's aren't the same

so if anyone could help me understand how to get the old index from different versions that would be helpful

for example i know that this changes how the skin is displayed, and i understand this function fully, with 10 being the value to modify and the (byte 127) corresponding to which parts to display, but i'm not sure where the 10 is from, i know it's correct, but i can't find a page showing its value

DataWatcher watcher = npc.getDataWatcher();
        watcher.watch(10, (byte) 127);```

for example here : https://wiki.vg/Entity_metadata#Player to change the same value i would do index 17 instead of 10

[winged pebble]

One option is just go to Entity -> EntityLiving -> etc -> EntityPlayer and count the order they register to the datawatcher

[torn heart]

i don't understand...?

[winged pebble]

The index represents the order in which it is registered to the datawatcher

[torn heart]

i'm not exactly sure how to do this though

[winged pebble]

So for example (this is 1.16.5) this shows where they register each part of the datawatcher for Entity

You can see that the second is at least named so you can tell what it is

[torn heart]

idk if this is relevant but 1.8 doesn't have a DataWatcherRegistry

[winged pebble]

Yeah, it's a bit more manual

[torn heart]

wait so this is in the Entity class?

[winged pebble]

I'm just helping you understand the general idea

Yes

And if you look on the wiki.vg for Entity, you can see it lines up (at least ignoring the newer stuff)

It's a bit less terse with 1.8.8

[torn heart]

yea i saw that

i can't find anything like that in the EntityPlayer class though

am i doing something wrong?

[winged pebble]

It's probably EntityHuman

[torn heart]

lemme check

[winged pebble]

yup

[torn heart]

yea you're right

wait so

sec

wait so okay i can see the methods now

but how can i figure out what each of them actually does

[winged pebble]

Your best bet is to look at wiki.vg and pick out what would exist at the time

[torn heart]

like with an older version of the wiki...?

[winged pebble]

You might be able to look at an archived version, yeah

But I meant the current one

This might help as well

This was for 1.16

[torn heart]

wait what class is this

[winged pebble]

It's from my own library I made once

[torn heart]

well this has been really informative, thank you

[winged pebble]

No problem! I looked deep into this for 1.16 because I made npcs that worked with pathfinders but looked like players (and weren't EntityPlayer)

[limber hedge]

I'm trying to create a sell GUI where players place their items into a gui then click the sell button to sell them. I've come across this problem:

        if (e.getView().getTitle().equals(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "Ore Merchant")) {
            //if they inside of sell gui

            if (e.getSlot() == 49) { //if they click sell button
                player.updateInventory();
                for(int i = 0; i<=53; i++) {
                    if (!(inv.getItem(i) == null)) {
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(inv.getItem(i).getType() + "");
                        if (isGem(inv.getItem(i))) { //if its a gem
                            inv.setItem(i, new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
                            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(i + "WORKED");
                        }
                    }
                }
                }

        }```

When they place the items inside the GUI and click the button it this acts like the items don't exist and are skipping over them like they are air blocks.

Full class:
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/xejevazasu.java

Its ugly but gets the job done :/ (visually)

not sure how I could clean it up

[torn heart]

you should probably actually send the isGem function

[limber hedge]

    public static boolean isGem(ItemStack item) {
        if (item != null) {
            if (item.getItemMeta() != null) {
                if (item.getItemMeta().getLore() != null) {
                    if (item.getItemMeta().getLore().size() >= 0) {
                        if(item.getItemMeta().hasLore())
                            if (item.getItemMeta().getLore().get(0).equals(Ores.FineAmber.getItemMeta().getLore().get(0))) {
                                return true;
                            } else {
                                return false;
                            }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }```

All the items hold the same first line of lore

[torn heart]

why do people keep identifying items with lore...

use nbt tags :/

[limber hedge]

I would if I knew how to but havent learnt that yet

[formal crane]

So i am trying to get "exampleCategory" from my json file but when i try this is gives a null value,

here is my json file: ```json
{
"categories": {
"exampleCategory": [
"avoir/hebben",
"etre/zijn"
]
}
}

This is what i have tried so far but gives the null value:
`JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get(JsonObject.get("exampleCategory"));` & `JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) jsonObject.get("categories.exampleCategory");`

[grim oasis]

if (!(inv.getItem(i) == null)) => if (inv.getItem(i) != null)

[icy shadow]

JSON is not yaml, you can't use .
try getting the categories object first then get the exampleCategory array from that

[limber hedge]

ty that makes it look nicer

[grim oasis]

so does no arrow code 😉

?plsnoarrowcode

[neat pier]

FAQ Answer:

https://blog.codinghorror.com/flattening-arrow-code/

Requested by: cj89898 • plsnoarrowcode

[grim oasis]

I'd recommend trying that with this code

[limber hedge]

The brackets were from me testing debug messages

The debug messages just skip over all the items I place in the GUI and just print out the glass and player heads

    public static boolean isGem(ItemStack item) {
        if (item != null) 
            if (item.getItemMeta() != null) 
                if (item.getItemMeta().getLore() != null) 
                    if (item.getItemMeta().getLore().size() >= 0) 
                        if(item.getItemMeta().hasLore())
                            if (item.getItemMeta().getLore().get(0).equals(Ores.FineAmber.getItemMeta().getLore().get(0))) 
                                return true;
        return false;
    }```

[lyric gyro]

oh my

size() >= 0
this will always be true tho

either the list is empty or it isn't

[grim oasis]

I see what you were saying about the brackets

but not what I was referring to

this is my most recent sellmenu class https://paste.helpch.at/ziqigesezi.java

the way you're opening the inventory now, you will run into the problem that it's the same inventory for everybody

[limber hedge]

Your one is very pretty but I dont understand it

[grim oasis]

that's fine

when you currently run it, what debug messages are you getting?

[limber hedge]

Its just all GLASS and HEADS but the items I place in it are COAL

[grim oasis]

so it never said WORKED right?

[limber hedge]

Yea never said it

[grim oasis]

add more debug messages back to isGem

[limber hedge]

When I put in Bukkit.broadcastMessage(inv.getItem(i).getType() + "");
It doesnt notice the items I place in the GUI at all

So it never accepts isGem because all it is checking is the Background items and the button itself

[grim oasis]

where do you have room to put items?

[limber hedge]

Inside of the GUI where I place AIR

[limber hedge]

On line 48

I guess I dont need to put anything there since nothing is air anyway

[grim oasis]

hmm

get the clicked inventory items

instead of the field variable inv

[limber hedge]

Bukkit.broadcastMessage(e.getCursor().getType() + "");

[grim oasis]

take a look at mine

final Player p = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
    if (e.getRawSlot() >= 45 && e.getRawSlot() <= 53)
      e.setCancelled(true);
    if (e.getRawSlot() >= 45 && e.getRawSlot() <= 48) {
      p.getOpenInventory().close();
    } else if (e.getRawSlot() >= 50 && e.getRawSlot() <= 53) {
      double totalValue = 0; //items to sell
      double totalAmount = 0; //value of items

      for (int i = 0; i <= 44; i++) { //loop through inventory
        ItemStack currentItem = e.getClickedInventory().getItem(i); //Current Item in the slot of the CLICKED inventory

        if (currentItem == null) {
          continue;
        }

        String itemName = currentItem.getType().toString().toLowerCase();
        if (!allItems.containsKey(itemName)) {
          continue;
        }
        double sell = allItems.get(itemName).getSell(p); //gets the sell price
        ItemStack blankItem = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(itemName.toUpperCase())); //retrieves a blank copy of the item I'm checking
        if (currentItem.isSimilar(blankItem)) { //checks if the current item is the item to compare to
          int amount = currentItem.getAmount();
          e.getClickedInventory().setItem(i, null);
          DeluxeShop.getEconomy().depositPlayer(p, sell * amount); //sells the item
          totalAmount += amount; //adds item amount
          totalValue += (sell * amount); //adds sell value
        }
      }
      if (totalAmount == 0) {
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&8Nothing to sell!"));
      } else {
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&',
            "&6Successfully sold &a" + totalAmount + " items &6for &a" + DeluxeShop.DECIMAL_FORMAT.format(totalValue)));
      }
      p.getOpenInventory().close();

you see I get the actual inventory the player is using, from the event

instead of the field variable

no, I guess I sent a lot

[limber hedge]

How does your one work?

Mine works by loading all the items into the GUI then clicking the sell button

Then it for loops through all the slots, checks if its a gem then if it is it broadcasts WORKED

I cant visualize yours, that is what is making it difficult for me to understand what is does or how it works

[grim oasis]

I added some comments

The big difference between me and you

        ItemStack blankItem = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(itemName.toUpperCase())); //retrieves a blank copy of the item I'm checking
        if (currentItem.isSimilar(blankItem)) { //check

is this

because I compare it to another item

you use an isGem(currentItem) method

basically, just try changing it to #getClickedInventory and use that

just see if it works

if you're confused still send your class

[limber hedge]

I understand yea

        if (e.getView().getTitle().equals(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "Ore Merchant")) {
            //if they inside of sell gui

            if (e.getSlot() == 49) { //if they click sell button
                player.updateInventory();
                for (int i = 0; i <= 53; i++) {
                    ItemStack currentItem = e.getClickedInventory().getItem(i);
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(currentItem.getType() + "");
                    if (currentItem == null) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    if (isGem(currentItem)) { //if its a gem
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(i + "WORKED");
                    }
                }
            }
        }```
It says worked now

Thank you for your help

and thank you for being patient

[grim oasis]

I still recommend making a new inventory every time you open it though

@limber hedge

[limber hedge]

        SellGUI gui = new SellGUI();
        gui.openInventory(target);```

this runs when they do the cmd

[grim oasis]

also try some for loops for items vs 1 for loop and a bunch of ifstatements

[grim oasis]

oh that's not what you wanna do

when do you register the listener?

ohhhh\

I think I know why it wasn't working earlier

[limber hedge]

In onEnable()

[grim oasis]

with a new instance of SellGui

every time you run the command, you make a new instance of it

which is NOT the listener

instead you should store it when you register it, then just use gui.openInventory(target)

[limber hedge]

I use to do that but when two players had the same GUI open they could see what each other were putting in it

[grim oasis]

exactly what I said

[grim oasis]

earlier

so what you want to do is make a new inventory in the openInventory part

not make a new SellGui in the command

my sellmenu for reference: https://paste.helpch.at/ziqigesezi.java

basically just gotta move the itemsetup to the openInventory part

[limber hedge]

I have it set up with init() then init() is inside of openInventory

    public void initializeItems() {
        createSell(0);
        createBackgroundItem();
        createInformationBook();

        for (int i = 0; i <= 53; i++) {
            if (i == 49)
                inv.setItem(i, SellItem);
            if (i == 4)
                inv.setItem(i, InfoBook);
            if (i == 0 || i == 1 || i == 2 || i == 3 || i == 5 || i == 6 || i == 7 || i == 8 || i == 9 || i == 12 || i == 13 || i == 14 || i == 17 || i == 18 || i == 26 || i == 27 || i == 35 || i == 36 || i == 39 || i == 40 || i == 41 || i == 44 || i == 45 || i == 46 || i == 47 || i == 48 || i == 51 || i == 52 || i == 53 || i == 54 || i == 50) {
                inv.setItem(i, BackgroundItem);
            }
        }
    }

    // You can open the inventory with this
    public void openInventory(final HumanEntity ent) {
        initializeItems();
        ent.openInventory(inv);
    }```

Wait really I've been doing it wrong all this time

so the create part i put in open as well

[grim oasis]

remove the field variable inv

[limber hedge]

inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 54, ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "Ore Merchant");

[grim oasis]

yep

if you remove the field variable first the IDE will start yelling at you

easy to see where you have to make other changes imo

[limber hedge]

So what do I put int SellGUI()

public class SellGUI implements Listener {

    public ItemStack SellItem;
    public ItemStack BackgroundItem;
    public ItemStack InfoBook;

    //(X/100)x15 MINING FORTUNRE EQUATION

    public SellGUI() {

    }
    // You can open the inventory with this
    public void openInventory(final HumanEntity ent) {
        Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 54, ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "Ore Merchant");
        ent.openInventory(inv);
        createSell(0);
        createBackgroundItem();
        createInformationBook();

        for (int i = 0; i <= 53; i++) {
            if (i == 49)
                inv.setItem(i, SellItem);
            if (i == 4)
                inv.setItem(i, InfoBook);
            if (i == 0 || i == 1 || i == 2 || i == 3 || i == 5 || i == 6 || i == 7 || i == 8 || i == 9 || i == 12 || i == 13 || i == 14 || i == 17 || i == 18 || i == 26 || i == 27 || i == 35 || i == 36 || i == 39 || i == 40 || i == 41 || i == 44 || i == 45 || i == 46 || i == 47 || i == 48 || i == 51 || i == 52 || i == 53 || i == 54 || i == 50) {
                inv.setItem(i, BackgroundItem);
            }
        }
    }```

And do I still use:

        SellGUI gui = new SellGUI();
        gui.openInventory(target);```
Inside of my command?

[grim oasis]

no, do not make a new SellGui

you have to use the one you originally create in onEnable

all you do is gui.openInventory(target) (probably plugin.sellGui.openInventory(target) or something similar)

[limber hedge]

And what do I put in onEnable?

Since SellGUI() is completely empty in the SellGUI Class

[grim oasis]

send your main class and your command class

I gotta go get some food here

[limber hedge]

https://paste.helpch.at/uqedoyuxoj.java

I use an API for Command Class

Startup Function which is called in onEnable()
https://paste.helpch.at/fiyezukesa.java

Sell GUI Class:
https://paste.helpch.at/afegocegin.cs

[grim oasis]

idk how to help you man

it's honestly all over the place

idk why you have a StartUp class and a startup method outside of your main class and outside of onEnable

basically you should be instantiating the command class with an instance of your plugin that you can later call back to to access the SellGUI listener instance you create

[leaden sinew]

Please do if (i > # && i < #) instead of checking each one

[grim oasis]

better than my idea

[torn heart]

so right now i'm trying to create custom pathfinding npcs for 1.8. basicly the idea is that they can follow and fight eachother. https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-creating-custom-entities-with-pathfindergoals.18519/ i tried to follow this tutorial, but i don't believe EntityPlayer has pathfinding goals, and i don't know how to get around this other than creating my own pathfinding logic, which would be difficult and most likely inefficient. could anyone help? thanks

[rigid mountain]

Question, so i have this command and im making a bitcoin farm type thing. But when i add it to the players inventory it doesnt do anything. im in 1.8, but that shouln't matter as i add stuff to inv multiple times elese where.

                                System.out.println(gpu);
                                player.getInventory().addItem(gpu);
                            } else {
                                if(Bukkit.getPlayer(args[2]) == null) {
                                    player.sendMessage(Message.INVALID_PLAYER.getMessage());
                                } else {
                                    Player t = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[2]);
                                    t.getInventory().addItem(gpu);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                } ``` Everything souts as it should

[pine flax]

Try with Player#updateInventory after adding the item

[rigid mountain]

i tried that but that didnt change anything

[west socket]

I'm having a really bizarre issue where some entities won't spawn unless the world has been loaded by a Player since restart (using Bukkit.getWorld.spawnEntity) Anyone know why this might be the case?

[pure crater]

you sue that the chunk you are spawning the entity in is loaded?

[west socket]

Does it have to be?

[pure crater]

Yes

[west socket]

Because I have other entities closer to the world's spawn point that load in fine

Either way, there is no player in the world

Thats strange, I guess I'll force load it

[pure crater]

try force loading it

d;spigot World#spawnEntity

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.RegionAccessor#spawnEntity

@NotNull
Entity spawnEntity(@NotNull Location loc, @NotNull EntityType type, boolean randomizeData)```

Description:

Creates a new entity at the given Location.

Parameters:

loc - the location at which the entity will be spawned.
type - the entity type that determines the entity to spawn.
randomizeData - whether or not the entity's data should be randomised before spawning. By default entities are randomised before spawning in regards to their equipment, age, attributes, etc. An example of this randomization would be the color of a sheep, random enchantments on the equipment of mobs or even a zombie becoming a chicken jockey. If set to false, the entity will not be randomised before spawning, meaning all their data will remain in their default state and not further modifications to the entity will be made. Notably only entities that extend the Mob interface provide randomisation logic for their spawn. This parameter is hence useless for any other type of entity.

Returns:

the spawned entity instance.

Wow, that was really the solution to the bug I've been tearing my hair out about for 2 days

I really appreciate that

That's slightly embarassing

[stuck hearth]

That is embarrassing 😳

Jk, you're doing great

[torn heart]

i'm following this tutorial for 1.8: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-creating-custom-entities-with-pathfindergoals.18519/
and it's working fine, but i'm trying to make it go to a set location with this: ```java
public class PathfinderToLoc extends PathfinderGoal {

private double speed;

private EntityInsentient entity;

private Location loc;

private NavigationAbstract navigation;

public PathfinderToLoc(EntityInsentient entity, Location loc, double speed)
{
    this.entity = entity;
    this.loc = loc;
    this.navigation = this.entity.getNavigation();
    this.speed = speed;
}

public boolean a() {
    return true;
}

public void c()
{
    PathEntity pathEntity = this.navigation.a(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());

    this.navigation.a(pathEntity, speed);
}

}```thinig is, this just isn't working. the zombie just isn't moving to the position at all

it's implemented in the actual custom class and all: java this.targetSelector.a(new PathfinderToLoc(this, new Location(world.getWorld(), 0, 82, 0), 1.0D));

[torpid raft]

🥴

how about just

Set<T> backgrounds = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList({0,1,2,3,5,6,...}));
if (backgrounds.contains(i) ) {
  inv.setItem(i, BackgroundItem);
}

(you would actually want the list of backgrounds as a final static variable but you get the gist)

can anyone help w/ this?

[halcyon ermine]

Hello everyone, I recently started developing plugins, so I still don’t know much, so I immediately apologize for the stupid questions. Is there any way to keep track of when a mob enters and exits (this must be checked) from a certain player radius? When the mob enters the radius (you can check .getNearbyEntities) and when it leaves it. I want that when a mob enters the player's radius, he was given a glow effect, and when he left, the effect was removed. And the radius values are static

[lyric gyro]

Right so you basically can just make a simple runnable which loops through all online players. Then you can get the player’s location inside that loop, and getNearbyLivingEntities with whatever radius you want, loop through those entities and give them the glow effect for like 3 seconds

[halcyon ermine]

You are genius

[lyric gyro]

Far from it, just simple problem solving!

[errant pilot]

how do i get the BaseComponents part for Player.Spigot.sendMessage()?
it doesnt have a constructor and in documentation says its only for internal classes
is there another way to give a String into Player.Spigot.sendMessage()?

yeah, the camera is on, but my friends can't see my video, my video just buffering

[hoary scarab]

Read what the bot sent.

[elfin depot]

okay thanks

[torn heart]

i've been trying to get this to work for 2 days, and it's just not working. anyone know why?

like the zombie just isn't doing anything

omg i just got it to work

let's fricking go!

[hoary scarab]

So in 1.18.2 I used ChatComponentText but it looks like it was removed in 1.19 Any one know its replacement?

[winged pebble]

Seems like before you had IChatBaseComponent, but now it's just Component as the interface and MutableComponent is the only class that implements it

They probably changed things up because of the whole preview thing

[hoary scarab]

Saw that but can't figure out how to get text -> IChatBaseComponent which is still used to set an entities custom name

I was using setCustomName(new ChatComponentText("Entity Name"));

[winged pebble]

I was comparing non mojang mappings to mojang mappings, hold on a sec haha

[hoary scarab]

👍 I could use IChatBaseComponent.ChatSerializer.fromJson(String) I think but what was the component changed to if not {TextComponent=}

[winged pebble]

Huh, it looks like there really is only one class that implements that interface now

Oh okay I think I get it now

(I'm back in mojang mappings for this explanation btw) So Component has getContents() which returns ComponentContents which is where the text lives

It seems a bit different than before though, as the interface ComponentContents doesn't have methods to interact with the innards

You'd have to get the implementation to do that

LiteralContents seems to be what you're looking for though

[hoary scarab]

Really you can't say "fuck" anymore?

Why did that post???

[high edge]

fuck up

[icy shadow]

it's "to.fuck"

presumably that is more of an active action rather than a casual expletive

[lethal wadi]

Do I need to constantly update my placeholders within a task or something or are they automatically updated by papi

Like if I have them in a scoreboard and the value updates from my plugin, will papi automatically detect the change

[icy shadow]

that is not papi's responsibility

it's the responsibility of whatever's using the placeholders

[lethal wadi]

So then run a task to update?

[icy shadow]

i.e if your scoreboard updates every 1 second, the placeholder will "update" too

no

[lethal wadi]

Ahhh

ok

[icy shadow]

yes...?

[hoary scarab]

to <Blank> or not to <Blank> ... Something alot of people quote

[lyric gyro]

lol

[hoary scarab]

@winged pebble

// 1.18.2
setCustomName(new ChatComponentText("Text"));

// 1.19
// Unmapped
setCustomName(Component.literal("Text"));

// Mapped
setCustomName(IChatBaseComponent.a("Text"))

[winged pebble]

Hmmm, interesting I didn't see a static literal method

Weird, it's there now

Maybe I was looking at the wrong version lol I've got like 4 pulled up

[hoary scarab]

Its in the unmapped Component class

[winged pebble]

Yeah I must have pulled up the 1.18 on accident

[hoary scarab]

Yeah took me a few hours to find xD

[tardy cosmos]

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this exception to happen? Somebody reported it for one of my plugins and I've never seen anything like it before https://paste.helpch.at/yafokujuda.sql

I'm somewhat inclined to blame AuthMe for not relocating their custom mysql driver

[broken elbow]

you could ask them to remove authme and test without and then if it does work just blame authme :))

[tardy cosmos]

They have my plugin on another server and it's working fine so I asked them if AuthMe is also installed on that one. I'll have them try that if they're willing, ty for input

[broken elbow]

yes very useful input from me. I am very useful. ||I know I'm not||

[tardy cosmos]

I wonder if I could just put a loadbefore for authme

[hoary scarab]

sigh Gotta new issue.... IChatBaseComponent removes hex color

Any ideas about this? It works on spawned armorstands but not packet based armorstands

Would prefer to not have to go into editing the DataWatcher

[winged pebble]

You shouldn't have to because setCustomName() and getCustomName() interact with the datawatcher I thought

[hoary scarab]

They do but I might have to set the string instead of the IChatBaseComponent

Looking into it

Hmmm.... Actually it might be reflection

If a class has multiple methods named the same and have the same parameters but return different types which does reflection use?

public String a(String s) {}
public IChatMutableComponent a(String s) {}
public void a(String s) {}

[icy shadow]

thats not possible lol

you cant have 2 methods with the exact same name and signature

[stuck hearth]

😱

[hoary scarab]

Tell that to mojangs mapping

[icy shadow]

mapping error then presumably

but that would definitely not compile as source code

[hoary scarab]

🤷

Thats what I got xD

I just used buildtools 20 minutes ago

[winged pebble]

There is something similar that happens when you try to extend an EntityInsentient

And intellij throws a fit about it (rightly so)

[icy shadow]

definitely doesnt compile

[stuck hearth]

Thanks BM

[icy shadow]

yw

[hoary scarab]

I get that but spigot mapped it like this so IDK what to do xD

[icy shadow]

god knows lmao

[stuck hearth]

Cry

[icy shadow]

something like that

[stuck hearth]

I would

[hoary scarab]

Might have to edit the datawatcher directly then...

[lyric gyro]

I mean that's definitely valid at class file level, just not in source lol

[icy shadow]

yeah true

[hoary scarab]

Not finding any, does reflection have any way to get a method based on name and return type?

[sterile hinge]

well not in Java, but for the jvm only the descriptor matters

[lyric gyro]

MethodHandles 😌

[icy shadow]

mm i realise that

i guess it's a decompiler error then?

[lyric gyro]

those are spigot mappings 🥴

[sterile hinge]

if you just change the mappings of the jar, it's still a valid class file but you can't decompile it to correct java code anymore

[icy shadow]

i dont know nor care what mappings are

[sterile hinge]

but you can also mess with most decompilers by just writing something like

class A {
  static {
    class B {};
    new B();
  }
  static {
    class B {};
    new B();
  }
}

[lyric gyro]

fiend

[sterile hinge]

(this is art)

[hoary scarab]

I'm just gonna search the methods and cache the right one.

Welp even when its using the right method hex colors are removed...

[lyric gyro]

are you shoving legacy codes into components?

because legacy formatting never supported hex colouring, that's a spigot invention that happens only in legacy -> component deserialisation

[hoary scarab]

#084cfb-#2165fb-#3a7efc-#5297fc-#6bb0fc-#84c9fd-#9de2fd-#a9eef6-#9bdee0-#8ececa-#80bfb5-#73af9f-#659f89-#588f73-#547f72-#556f7a-#565f82-#574f8a-#583e93-#592e9b-#5a1ea3-

[lyric gyro]

that tells me literally nothing but okay

how are you turning that into a component

[hoary scarab]

// 1.18.2
setCustomName(new ChatComponentText("Text"));

// 1.19
// Unmapped
setCustomName(Component.literal("Text"));

// Mapped
setCustomName(IChatBaseComponent.a("Text")) //<---------- This

[lyric gyro]

that still isn't showing how you're actually deserialising it

because if you're just shoving that text into that method then it will show the text literally as-is

[hoary scarab]

I'm not understanding what you're asking then.

oh like how I color it 🤦 ?

[lyric gyro]

How are you turning that literal text you sent above into a component

not what method you're using

the actual code

the actual process

[hoary scarab]

That is the actualy code xD

[lyric gyro]

no it's not

[hoary scarab]

Then I'm still not understanding...

[lyric gyro]

you're doing .a("Text"), not .a("#084cfb-#2165fb-#3a7efc-#5297fc-#6bb0fc-#84c9fd-#9de2fd-#a9eef6-#9bdee0-#8ececa-#80bfb5-#73af9f-#659f89-#588f73-#547f72-#556f7a-#565f82-#574f8a-#583e93-#592e9b-#5a1ea3-")

because that will print that exact text

the actual real code you have written right in front of your eyes

how are you turning this literal text
#084cfb-#2165fb-#3a7efc-#5297fc-#6bb0fc-#84c9fd-#9de2fd-#a9eef6-#9bdee0-#8ececa-#80bfb5-#73af9f-#659f89-#588f73-#547f72-#556f7a-#565f82-#574f8a-#583e93-#592e9b-#5a1ea3-
into a component exactly

well see?

that's different

[hoary scarab]

I asked you if you meant the coloring

[lyric gyro]

and yes you're shoving legacy shit inside components, which is confirmed the client will one day stop supporting, and which again that thing never worked with hex codes

I mean you don't "colour" a component but sure

[hoary scarab]

So what would you suggest?

[lyric gyro]

Deserialize from legacy in the CraftChatComponent class I think it's called

[hoary scarab]

Found it (I hope)

[lyric gyro]

yes fromString/fromStringOrNull

[torn heart]

So right now i'm attemping to use PathfinderGoals with npcs. I got it to work with zombies and right now i'm not doing any navigation but just trying to turn the npc's head. here is the npc's code: ```java
public class Bot extends EntityPlayer {

public Bot(MinecraftServer minecraftserver, WorldServer worldserver, GameProfile gameprofile, PlayerInteractManager playerinteractmanager) {
    super(minecraftserver, worldserver, gameprofile, playerinteractmanager);

}

}
}``` with the zombie i could just create a new CustomZombie and bam, that works, but that doesn't work with this, probably because it's an EntityPlayer. could anyone help with spawning this entity in? would i have to do it with packets or some other way

i haven't gotten to adding the pathfinding goals yet because i'm still trying to spawn a bot in like this

[winged pebble]

You can't use pathfinding goals with EntityPlayer

At least not any existing ones

[torn heart]

i'm writing my own

but i'm just strying to spawn the bot in right now

[torn heart]

unless u git gud

[torn heart]

just tryna get this to spawn first tho

[winged pebble]

You're most likely going to have to use packets btw

[torn heart]

yea i figured it out

i'm obviously doing something wrong but i can't figure out what. here is my bot class rn: ```java
public class Bot extends EntityPlayer {

public Bot(MinecraftServer minecraftserver, WorldServer worldserver, GameProfile gameprofile, PlayerInteractManager playerinteractmanager) {
    super(minecraftserver, worldserver, gameprofile, playerinteractmanager);

    PathfinderGoalSelector goalSelector = new PathfinderGoalSelector(this.u().methodProfiler);
    goalSelector.a(0, new PlayerGoalLookAtPlayer(this, EntityHuman.class));
}

}``` and the PlayerGoalLookAtPlayer is this: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/uroyufagun.kotlin

thing is in the goal not even the system outputs are printing anything, so i'm obviously doing something wrong with the goalSelector, but i can't figure out what

[winged pebble]

Doesn't seem like you're storing it as a field or anything to be used later

You have to add the logic that cycles through goalSelectors too

[torn heart]

wait storing what as a field

[winged pebble]

the goalSelector

You're just creating a local variable and then it goes away basically

[torn heart]

i mean i'm using it in the line right after that

[winged pebble]

Yeah you're adding a goal, but then right after that, they both go away

[torn heart]

i see what you mean

[winged pebble]

goalSelector doesn't do its job on its own, it needs to be told what to do basically

Look in EntityInsentient for the method that actually handles that logic

You'll have to reimplement that

[torn heart]

alright thanks

[torn heart]

hmm.. the thing relating to goalSelector in EntityInsentient are these 3 lines:java // in constructor this.goalSelector = new PathfinderGoalSelector(world != null && world.methodProfiler != null ? world.methodProfiler : null); and ```java
//in the doTick() method
this.world.methodProfiler.a("goalSelector");
this.goalSelector.a();

goalSelector.a() just returns true or false, not void. also methodProfiler is used quite a bit but looking at the class it's just an abstract class with empty methods, so i'm not really sure what to make of that

[winged pebble]

remind me what version you're in?

[torn heart]

1.8

i'm trying to figure out how EntityInsentient handles the goals and navigation and such but i'm struggling

[winged pebble]

In 1.8.8 it's eN()

[torn heart]

can i ask how you figured that out

[winged pebble]

Well I found it on 1.19 and when I opened it on 1.8.8 it took me to the exact same place luckily 😛

[torn heart]

is that in the EntityInsentient class?

[winged pebble]

Yes

[torn heart]

hmm i gues 1.8.8 is slightly different thatn 1.8.9. anyway, i still don't understand where the logic is being handled in this method

[torn heart]

this is doTick() in 1.8.9

[winged pebble]

Here is the mojang mapped version from 1.19 (makes it easier to parse)

[torn heart]

i'm looking at the method profiler class, and obviously it's being overriden somewhere because all i see is this: ```java
public class MethodProfiler {
public boolean a;

public MethodProfiler() {
}

public void a() {
}

public void a(String s) {
}

public void b() {
}

public List b(String s) {
    return null;
}

public void c(String s) {
}

public String c() {
    return null;
}

}```

[winged pebble]

It shouldn't be anything you'd need to implement yourself, is it?

I see, but you're just trying to understand what it does

[torn heart]

i'm confused why a is being called when a doesn't do anything

[winged pebble]

Ignore this btw, I was opening the unmapped 1.19 version on accident

Took me too long to notice haha

[torn heart]

i understand why my code isn't working but i don't understand why mojang's code works and how it works

[winged pebble]

It's probably just a decompilation issue tbh

It's also possible that it was a work in progress thing

That they hadn't finished implementing it

[torn heart]

what

but the pathfinding works

so how does this work

[winged pebble]

Long story short, the profiler seems to be more of a monitoring thing, than a behavior thing

I don't think you need to worry about it too much right now

[torn heart]

then how does the goalSelector work

[winged pebble]

The doTick() is run every tick

And it calls the .a() method on the goalSelector which is basically it's tick method

[torn heart]

isn't .e() supposed to be the tick method?

[torn heart]

so could I solve this by having a runnable that calls a method to properly update every custom npc?

[winged pebble]

Potentially, yeah

Another option you could do is actually just make your class extend EntityInsentient and fiddle with a few things to make it look like a player to the client

I don't know how to do this in 1.8 though

[torn heart]

i feel like adding a tick method is a lot easier than looking through 900 lines of code, though i might have to do it anyway

anyway i'll try to implement this, thanks for the help!

i wonder how i'll make that work with Navigation though...

If what you want to do is not complex, you can just do some simple string replacements on the string before parsing it with Integer.parseInt

So i'm trying to work with Navigation and Pathfinding and all that right now, and i'm trying to figure out how this all works (1.8.9 btw). I've been staring at this code for hours now and i just don't understand how Navigation causes entities to move. i have a test custom goal right where inside the e() method this is run: ```java
PathEntity pathEntity = this.navigation.a(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());

this.navigation.a(pathEntity, speed);

[echo briar]

Does anyone know what the best way to handle enabling and disabling worlds for a plug-in?

[broken elbow]

you want to disable plugins in a world?

[torn heart]

wouldn't you just have an if statement or something checking the name of the world?

[echo briar]

Just disable events in my plug-in.

[torn heart]

like disable code being runwhen an event happens?

[broken elbow]

just add an extra check in your event handlers to check world. at least for those events that are world based

[echo briar]

Ahhh okay I’ll try that

[echo briar]

Could you give a small example? I’ve tried a few ways and it’s not working for me

[broken elbow]

I mean it really depends on your event really.

can you send one of your event handler methods you want to do this for in a paste bin?

[dense drift]

if enabledWorlds !contains world, return / if disabledWorlds contains world, return

[torn heart]

anyone?

[echo briar]

https://paste.helpch.at/koqeyufanu.nginx

[broken elbow]

just get the player that clicked, check their world and return if its not in the world you want it to work in.

https://paste.helpch.at/ewisevuzoz.cpp

[echo briar]

ah okay, thank you

[echo briar]

if ((plugin.getConfig().getStringList("blocked-worlds")).contains(e.getPlayer().getWorld().getUID())) return;

^ is this done correctly?

[broken elbow]

no

getUID returns a UUID not a string

you could use UUID#toString tho

[echo briar]

oh should i getName()

[broken elbow]

well depends how you want the config list to work

with world names or with world UUIDs

if you want it to work with world names then yeah change it to getName

[echo briar]

kk

if ((plugin.getConfig().getStringList("blocked-worlds")).contains(e.getPlayer().getWorld().getName())) return;

so like this?

[winged pebble]

@torn heart https://minidigger.github.io/MiniMappingViewer/#/spigot/server/1.14.4/NavigationAbstract
Idk if have looked at something like this but it might help demystify a little of what is going on. I know it's 1.14.4 (Pretty much the earliest I could find for mojang mappings) But I often used this to help me make sense NMS

Some of the names will be different because it uses the Mojang Mapping name, (ie Mob -> EntityInsentient, Level -> World) but it should help a little bit

[torn heart]

i already looked at it

ill check again but not rn, but when i was checking i still didn't really understand how it caused movement but it's 31 C rn and opening intellij causes my hands to start sweating because of this mac and i just wanna take a break

[winged pebble]

The MoveController is what actually moves the mob

[lyric gyro]

does MMV work?

[winged pebble]

It's not updated, no. Pretty much only reliable for 1.14.4 -> early 1.16's

[lyric gyro]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org tho

[winged pebble]

I can read minidiggers a bit better

[lyric gyro]

yeah and mini's is unmaintained and outdated lol

[winged pebble]

Half the time I just need to know the Mojang class name anyway lol

[lyric gyro]

which may have changed in newer versions

ss is up to date, maintained and also has other mappings too

[winged pebble]

Yeah, but I also don't use it often at all anymore

[echo briar]

umm anyone else having the issue of glow on items not showing up in 1.19?

[proud pebble]

well 1.19 isnt ready for production yet so imma assume its just a bug thats gunna be squashed at some point

[torn heart]

yea but like

i'm looking at the class

it's just changing its own values

meaning that something else is calling it every tick or something like that, and idk what

[winged pebble]

The tick method probably

[torn heart]

wait where is that

like in EntityInsentient?

because the tick method in that just calls a method inside The ControllerMove, but i'm not exactly sure what that does

the solution for this that i can think of is to write an entirely new movement controller for the entity but that would be really difficult, and i would much rather understand how the current ControllerMove works and then modify that to suit my needs

[dusky harness]

Anyone know why custom enchantments aren't appearing on the pickaxe, and they get removed on server restart?
Here's the code in onLoad: kt val field = Enchantment::class.java.getDeclaredField("acceptingNew") field.isAccessible = true field.set(null, true) for (enchant in Enchants.values()) { Enchantment.registerEnchantment(enchant.getEnchantment()) // A new NamespacedKey gets created in getEnchantment and is stored in memory } field.set(null, false) and the code to enchant: ```kt
pickaxe.addUnsafeEnchantment(enchant.getEnchantment(), newLevel)

And the enchant code: https://pastes.dev/CjqNVmnMPd

[broken elbow]

I'm pretty sure custom enchantments don't show on items. you have to add a lore line yourself for that. I remember having to deal with this a while ago

[dusky harness]

oh :/

alr, ty

but why does it reset on server restart?

[broken elbow]

oh. that I couldn't tell you. is this for versions lower than 1.13?

[dusky harness]

this is for 1.18

wait now its not removing itself

Uh
nice
Thanks

🥲

[broken elbow]

lol. anyways check pinned messages. bm made a pretty nice example for custom enchantments on 1.13+ which I've used before.

[dusky harness]

oh, didn't know 😃

Thanks

[broken elbow]

[quasi wigeon]

If I have to drop a huge amount of items I saw that the best way is splitting it in multiple synchronized threads. How can I do it?

[winged pebble]

If you have multiple threads, they aren't synchronous

[quasi wigeon]

Idk, I found it here https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/making-this-async.342604/#post-3184424

Do you know another way to do it without causing lag?

[west socket]

Anyone know if theres a unicode placeholder for §

[sterile hinge]

that's not correct. FAWE does most of the work on different threads (it splits up the work, but to do work in parallel). Other than AWE, which splits up the work and runs in synchronous over multiple ticks

[dense drift]

\uA007 if you need its code

[west socket]

Yeah I tried that, It didnt like it

Oh Wait

I was using aa07

\ua007 returns whatever this is

ꀇ

[dense drift]

Ah

\u00A7

[west socket]

There we go

[shell moon]

Cancel creeper being ignited by flint and steel? (1.8.8)

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent#setCancelled(true) doesnt seem to be working

[warm steppe]

Did you register the event?

Also https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/entity/ExplosionPrimeEvent.html

Try this, idk

[shell moon]

ofc i did

That prevent entities from exploding

not from igniting, sadly

(afaik)

yeah, confirmed

ExplosionPrimeEvent#setCancelled

make it stop before explode

but it's (ofc) white and about to explode

[warm steppe]

Hmmmm

Maybe playerinteractevent?

[shell moon]

where is the target entity there

[hoary scarab]

Debug? Check if when the event is ran if the creeper is primed and after canceling see if it's still primed.

[shell moon]

i'll need NBTAPI then (i believe)

1.8.8 doesnt even have getFuseTicks

[hoary scarab]

Do creepers even have that?

[shell moon]

yeah

in newer versions only

[pine flax]

Does the other player interact entity event exist in 1.8?

PlayerInteractEntityEvent

[shell moon]

afaik yes

the normal and t he atEntity

[torn heart]

why does everyone work in 1.8.8 instead of 1.8.9

[pulsar ferry]

There is no 1.8.9 server

The version was client side only, even though there is a Mojang server jar all it does is change the startup message, so there is no Bukkit for 1.8.9

[shell moon]

[shell moon]

[high edge]

How stupid would it be to call Location#distance every time a player moves (working with 8 players max, so not that many calls) but I'm assuming still a fairly costly operation?

[icy shadow]

distance bad, distanceSquared good

unless you cant avoid it

[high edge]

Probably can avoid it

[sterile hinge]

It's costly for a math operation, but you probably won't even notice a difference if it's only 8 players

[icy shadow]

yeah it's gonna be fine at that scale

[high edge]

Thought so

[spiral prairie]

Guys is there a way to read a text and then check if it is or contains a java exception or is a minecraft log?

[stuck hearth]

I mean, technically yes, but what are you trying to do?

[icy shadow]

if text.contains(minecraft) or text.contains(java)

[spiral prairie]

Wanna make a bot that automatically uploads errors, java/kotlin code snippets and minecraft logs to a paste service

[icy shadow]

that sounds familiar

[stuck hearth]

Yeah BM basically hit the nail on the head

[icy shadow]

hahaha

Yeah

[stuck hearth]

Like, more nuance is required, but that's more or less the idea

[icy shadow]

I (and others) did this a while ago, just with a regex checking for the ```

or with files by file extension

[spiral prairie]

thats smart, ill just check for files or '` ``'

[icy shadow]

🙌

[spiral prairie]

Now last question, bot in python or kotlin

[icy shadow]

Up to you

lol

[spiral prairie]

yes ik

but im not sure

[stuck hearth]

Kotlin bot is nice, never used py

[spiral prairie]

i think ill use kotlin

les go

[icy shadow]

But here's some examples of what we did:
Typescript: https://github.com/TheDeveloperDen/DevDenBot/blob/master/src/util/pastify.ts
Kotlin (outdated, lacks a few things): https://github.com/TheDeveloperDen/DevDenBot-old/tree/master/src/main/kotlin/net/developerden/devdenbot/pasting

[spiral prairie]

Why is the regex so complicated? Did i miss something?

oh i see

my bad

[icy shadow]

ours is much more sophisticated, it'll convert each different codeblock into a single message, and the surrounding text

So

hello

Blah

Some more text

Blah2

Will become

Hello
Paste link
Some more text
Paste link 2

[spiral prairie]

Do you delete the message the user has sent?

[icy shadow]

Yes

[spiral prairie]

ah

[stuck hearth]

BM is a tyrant

[pulsar ferry]

Brainwashed by the functional programming elites

[high edge]

BM is a godsend

[stuck hearth]

I am the elites

[spiral prairie]

I love problems

Does anyone know why this is happening?

https://upload.skyslycer.de/idea64_8piNrzu8uV.png

[icy shadow]

kotlin bad

update your compiler version i suppose

[spiral prairie]

where that

nono

kotlin compiler is too new

[wintry grove]

update the plugin lmao

[stuck hearth]

Kt 1.7 is beta isn't it?

[pine flax]

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew17.html

[stuck hearth]

Oh yesterday, nice

[spiral prairie]

What if the user adds 9 characters of code and fills the rest to the max limit, and the bot replaces it by a 10 long link, some text will be lost, won't it?

[icy shadow]

It doesn't convert blocks less than 15 lines long

[tender thicket]

Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to get a collection of all entities which are targeting a specific player?

And the enchant code: https://pastes.dev/CjqNVmnMPd

The key used for the enchant is the same every time, so I don't know why it keeps resetting itself...

Okay well now it's not resetting

What

[tender thicket]

Thanks Deerjump

wont ping

but thanks

[stuck hearth]

@winged pebble

[winged pebble]

👍

[dense drift]

@dusky harness you need to display the enchantments trough lore I believe

[icy shadow]

^

[proud pebble]

personally when i implemented custom enchantments i didnt go through adding enchants through the regular means, just created a custom compound tag with my data, and then in the compoundtag add another compound tag that has enchant_id:short

[daring gust]

hey

i have problem on registering placeholders

%playercount%

not working

`` @Override
public String onRequest(OfflinePlayer player, String params) {
if(params.equalsIgnoreCase("playercount")) {
return "s";
}

    return null;
}``

@topaz gust

[hushed badge]

let's not ping people randomly please

[daring gust]

ok sorry

[hushed badge]

but a papi placeholder will be in the format of %identifier_placeholder%

so whatever uve put in getIdentifier() for the identifier

[daring gust]

thx

[odd prawn]

Hi, im trying to create a Car with 2 armorstands. 1 for the body with the model and 1 for the seat. I got the car to rotate but I can't get it to move.

Vehicle Class: https://paste.helpch.at/zadaholuci.cs
Vehicle Steer Class: https://paste.helpch.at/xatikoreza.cs

Is there anyone who could help me with this?

[hoary scarab]

If you're justing using a texturepack use 1 armorstand for seat and model

[odd prawn]

Yeah but the player would still be high in the air. So the seat is lowerd into the ground

The only problem atm is that I can't get it to move.

the 2 stands work fine with rotating ect..

[grim oasis]

just not going forwards?

[odd prawn]

Yes, I got it to rotate.

[grim oasis]

I see backwards hasn't been tested yet

[odd prawn]

Doesn't work as well

[grim oasis]

figured

[grim oasis]

the forward value is showing over 0.0f, yes?

[odd prawn]

Yes, that works. I tried broadcasting it when I move forward and that works

[grim oasis]

hmk

[odd prawn]

It's just the armorstand not moving

[grim oasis]

if you set the gravity to false

you can't set velocity

[broken elbow]

I've found an older spgiot post saying that if the gravity of an armor stand is set to false you can't change the velocity

:))

[grim oasis]

sorry blitz is my alt

[odd prawn]

Ah

Well, if I don't set the gravity to false the seat wouldn't be at the correct hight

[broken elbow]

the same post was mentioning that if you set gravity to false using NMS instead of the spigot api, the velocity will work

you'll just have to deal with NMS tho

[odd prawn]

ohw god haha 😅

        EntityArmorStand nmsBody = ((CraftArmorStand) body).getHandle();
        EntityArmorStand nmsSeat = ((CraftArmorStand) seat).getHandle();
        nmsBody.setNoGravity(true);
        nmsSeat.setNoGravity(true);

Like this with NMS?

Or like creating a custom entity?

[hoary scarab]

If the entity is in a block it won't move

Gotta teleport it

[odd prawn]

I enabled noclip on it via refelection

it allows to move it through blocks

[hoary scarab]

Show code

In text* (I don't click links)

[odd prawn]

    public void applyNoClip() {
        EntityArmorStand nmsBody = ((CraftArmorStand) body).getHandle();
        EntityArmorStand nmsSeat = ((CraftArmorStand) seat).getHandle();
        
        nmsBody.setNoGravity(true);
        nmsSeat.setNoGravity(true);

        Class nmsClass = net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.Entity.class;
        try {
            Field noClip = nmsClass.getDeclaredField("noclip");
            noClip.setBoolean(nmsBody, true);
            noClip.setBoolean(nmsSeat, true);
        } catch (Exception  e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

[hoary scarab]

Make sure its the mapped method

[odd prawn]

tbh, I found this on the internet I don't really know what that means 😅

[hoary scarab]

Thats you're first issue then

Go check the remapped method names

[odd prawn]

The noclip works tho

[hoary scarab]

Take a video of what happens then. Maybe I'm misreading what your issue is.

[dusky harness]

It's the correct method

[hoary scarab]

👍

For 1.16.5?

[dusky harness]

yea

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/
Here's the link to it btw

pretty useful

[hoary scarab]

k then yeah need him to take a vid

[dusky harness]

alr

[odd prawn]

oh this will come in handy 😂

[hoary scarab]

I just open the mapped and unmapped versions xD

Field#setAccessible(true) maybe ?

[hoary scarab]

@odd prawn ^^^ and debug it. Is it set to true?

You can check the Material entry in the enum to see what BlockData it "uses"

[tardy cosmos]

Anyone know if there's a way to get the items dropped by a sweet berry bush or composter when it's right clicked? Obviously PlayerInteractEvent exists but I'd hope there's something more generic I could use for when one of those types of blocks drops an item so I can modify it. A Paper event would be fine if one exists

[dense drift]

PlayerHarvestEvent might work for both

[molten wagon]

Is it way to prevent this happen? https://pastebin.com/EHzerbDU I know the issue. I think is the while loop some don´t get stopped as it should. is way I not like mess with while loop and use for loop (I know the compiler often make it to while loop but not get this issues).

I mean some way to check before it goo 100% bananas (if I can check if the loop start to run endlessly)?

[broken elbow]

not really no. what you should do, is make sure your loop is running correctly instead.

[hoary scarab]

ItemSpawnEvent or BlockDropItemEvent?

[zinc island]

does anyone know if theres a way to loop through all players, whilst having a slightly delay between each player? (Im looping through 100 players tping them all to different locations throughout the map so am worried about lag)

this is what ive tried but no luck

for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                BukkitScheduler scheduler = Bukkit.getScheduler();

                scheduler.runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
                    // code
                }, 20L);
            }

[stuck hearth]

You have the right idea, but I wouldn't schedule each player, but rather make 1 task to schedule on repeat and then cancel when the list is empty.

[tardy cosmos]

That looks like exactly what I need, thanks. Didn't realize that existed

[zinc island]

could you give me a bit of direction on how i could do that? im fairly new to plugin development :p

[shell moon]

can you set style using:

const span = document.createElement('span');
span.textContent = "a";
span.style.color = "084cfb";```

[hoary scarab]

int delay = 0;

List<Player> players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
for(Player p : players) {
    new BukkitRunnable() {
        public void run() {
            delay++;
            //your code
        }
    }.runTaskLater(<JavaPlugin>, 1*delay);
}

[molten wagon]

Yeah the loop will run too a method return false (and seams the method get stuck and the while loop keep running or something like that).

[zinc island]

thank u 🙏

Anyone know why custom enchantments aren't appearing on the pickaxe, and they get removed on server restart?
Here's the code in onLoad: kt val field = Enchantment::class.java.getDeclaredField("acceptingNew") field.isAccessible = true field.set(null, true) for (enchant in Enchants.values()) { Enchantment.registerEnchantment(enchant.getEnchantment()) // A new NamespacedKey gets created in getEnchantment and is stored in memory } field.set(null, false) and the code to enchant: ```kt
pickaxe.addUnsafeEnchantment(enchant.getEnchantment(), newLevel)

And the enchant code: <https://pastes.dev/CjqNVmnMPd>

The key: `NamespacedKey(plugin, "enchant_${name.lowercase()}")` and only 1 instance is created (until the server restarts)

And sorry for keep saying that this is fixed and it isn't - I got confused sometimes and this time I recorded a video

https://streamable.com/ifn9za

The command /pickaxe test is just looping through Enchants.values() and running ItemStack#getEnchantmentLevel on them

Hello There

I need some help

https://paste.helpch.at/mirokevaba.java

[torn heart]

does anyone know how nms actually handles player movement? Only thing i've found is the ControllerMove but all it changes are some internal values, which doesn't really tell me much

[strange remnant]

Where can I add a permission so you can use the command cuz with the permission now you can only see the message

[shell moon]

Fixed: After 8 hours it required a # before the hex code

[strange remnant]

Am I getting some help or what?

[neon wren]

use the player object and check if Player#hasPermission and provide the permission.

It'll return a BOOLEAN based response.

if (!playerObject.hasPermission("permission.name")) {
  // send message of no permission.
  return true;
}
// run stuff like checking arguments, etc.

[strange remnant]

Where should I set this line in my methode

Oke I fixed that

But there is another bug now

Shit man

[lyric gyro]

shit-man

I got the permission working

But then the stringbuilder broke

Are Ints and doubles supposed to take a number input?

[rigid mountain]

Hello everyone, iv been stuck trying to figure out a way to do this, but yet i havent found one. If you have any ideas please let me know 🙂

So im creating a scoreboard and i want to add a placeholder to display a players party. This is the api im using https://github.com/MrMicky-FR/FastBoard. So say i have the placeholder {party} i want to replace that with each player of their party. So if my config looks like:

  - "&e&lParty"
  - "  &f{party}"```

I want to replace `{party}` with their party members, if they have none leave it empty, and depending on how many they have add a new line for each member. So if they have say 3 members it would look like:

```Scoreboard:
  - "&e&lParty"
  - "  &fMember1"
  - "  &fMember2"
  - "  &fMember3"```

Anyone have any ideas?

[neon wren]

while looping through the lines, make a simple check:

for (String line : lines) {
  if (line.contains("{party}") {
    // Loop through players and add to scoreboard lines.
  }
}

[dusky harness]

Hmm
Since I can't find a reason why this is happening, what if I did this:

• Generate a random int value on server start
• If a PDC value on an item doesn't equal above, then set the enchants to what the pdc key has
• Every 10 ticks or so, add a PDC value to the item with that int value and enchants so that on the next server restart, it will be updated

🥲 Is there another option?
Tomorrow I'll check if making a new NamespacedKey also resets the enchant values 🤷 but I'm going to sleep for tonight

[dense drift]

Any idea how to make it use the right components method? p.p
Edit: Solved, project.components

[limber hedge]

i can break it

i figured out

[high edge]

Was about to say yea, you could just break the loops

[torpid raft]

why are you doing that every 10 ticks

[dusky harness]

how often should I do it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[torpid raft]

why are you doing it 'often' at all 🤔

[limber hedge]

Wait where do I break it

[torpid raft]

why not only update it when the enchant updates

[dusky harness]

what event is it?

[limber hedge]

for(Block b : getNearbyBlocks(player.getLocation(), 15)) {
                        if(b.getType() == Material.NOTE_BLOCK) {
                                    int distance = (int) e.getPlayer().getLocation().distance(b.getLocation());
                                    if (distance <= 15) {
                                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Distance = " + distance);
                                        if (distance <= 12 && distance <= 15) 
                                        if (distance >= 8 && distance <= 11)
                                        if (distance >= 4 && distance <= 7)
                                        if (distance >= 2 && distance <= 4) 
                                        if (distance >= 1 && distance <= 2)

                            }

                    }```

[dusky harness]

to be on the safe side

and plus, getEnchantmentLevel is just retrieving from a map

[torpid raft]

not sure if there is an event specific to enchants or not, but you can probably make your own with an inventoryinteractevent for whatever the player uses to enchant

[high edge]

when you find the block

[limber hedge]

It doesnt play the sound at that point

It does say the distance though

for(Block b : getNearbyBlocks(player.getLocation(), 15)) {

                        if(b.getType() == Material.NOTE_BLOCK) {
                                    int distance = (int) e.getPlayer().getLocation().distance(b.getLocation());
                                    if (distance <= 15) {
                                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Distance = " + distance);
                                        if (distance <= 12 && distance <= 15) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.5f);
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 8 && distance <= 11) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.7f);
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 4 && distance <= 7) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 1.2f);

In which cases is it better to use a database instead of PDC? Is it a good idea to use both? (For example I am making a generator plugin and I want to store generator data on the chunks PDC but I also want to be able to modify it and get all generators from a user where I would store the locations in SQLite for example. In this case I would store gen data with pdc and the location and owner of it in sqlite for easier sorting, etc.)

Hello btw lol

Oh sorry, you guys were already speaking

I will wait.

[dusky harness]

if you want to get PDC -> Chunk data, then you'll have to use a database

Or ig you can combine it

[worn jasper]

Now I am confused lol

With your sentence

[high edge]

that would work yes

[worn jasper]

So, like I mentioned it before?

[dusky harness]

you could either have all the data in the database

or you can have the player and chunk in the database, then the rest of the data in the chunk PDC

[dusky harness]

yea

Hmm

[worn jasper]

Oh okay ye then its what I had in mind

Although unsure if its practical

Also, would it be too heavy to like loop through a list of locations of the generators and get their PDC? Unsure how heavy PDCs are

Are they even cached?

[junior fable]

Hello everyone, can anyone help me with a problem that im having with WorldEdit?

Im trying to get a selection of the player using Selection sel = getWorldEdit.getSelection(); but it gives me a error that says that .getSelection() doesnt exist
The worldedit is "imported" perfectly, it just doesnt work.
Maybe the API changed, but on every docs/tutorial i find the same way being used

[dusky harness]

Is there anything in the Paper/spigot api that returns if a server is fully started?

except for ServerTickStartEvent

[dense drift]

I think tasks start when the server is loaded

[dusky harness]

oh right

ty

[dense drift]

paper also has ServerLoadEvent

d;paper ServerLoadEvent

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.event.server.ServerLoadEvent

public class ServerLoadEvent
extends ServerEvent```
ServerLoadEvent has 4 methods, and  1 extensions.

Description:

This event is called when either the server startup or reload has completed.

Requested by: GabyTM | RO • paper

[dusky harness]

oh, didn't see that either

🥲 ty

[dense drift]

np

[high edge]

Figured it out again I assume? :3

[limber hedge]

yer

I released it would take way to many resources

the server would be to laggy so I gave up

[high edge]

Not necessarily, what exactly are you trying to do?

[limber hedge]

Just find the nearest jukebox within a 10 block radius

[high edge]

On what event

[limber hedge]

Interact event on a cooldown

Basically making a metal detector for jukeboxes

[high edge]

Would the jukeboxes be underground or?

[limber hedge]

Yea

[high edge]

How deep

[limber hedge]

0 -> 256

[high edge]

ew

And how are the jukeboxes spawned?

[limber hedge]

You mean searching radius or where have I ptu them?

[limber hedge]

They are not spawned they are pre-placed

[high edge]

Ah shame

[limber hedge]

So resource intensive?

[high edge]

Well I mean doable but not really preferable

[limber hedge]

Was the way I did it a very bad way of doing it?

[high edge]

Didn't even fully see how you did it

[limber hedge]

Getting the lowest value of a hashmap was my only problem

    public static List<Block> getNearbyBlocks(Location location, int radius, Player player) {
        List<Block> blocks = new ArrayList<Block>();
        for(int x = location.getBlockX() - radius; x <= location.getBlockX() + radius; x++) {
            for(int y = location.getBlockY() - radius; y <= location.getBlockY() + radius; y++) {
                for(int z = location.getBlockZ() - radius; z <= location.getBlockZ() + radius; z++) {
                    blocks.add(location.getWorld().getBlockAt(x, y, z));
                }
            }
        }
        return blocks;
    }```

I cannot manage to sort it by distance

[high edge]

by distance how?

[limber hedge]

Distance from Player to the Juke Box

So that this can happen:

                        if (distance <= 15) {
                            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Distance = " + distance);
                            if (distance >= 12 && distance <= 15) {
                                player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.5f);
                            }
                            if (distance >= 8 && distance <= 11) {
                                player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.7f);
                            }
                            if (distance >= 4 && distance <= 7) {
                                player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 1.2f);
                            }
                            if (distance >= 3 && distance <= 4) {
                                player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 1.6f);
                            }
                            if (distance >= 1 && distance <= 2) {
                                player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 2f);
                            }
                        }```

[high edge]

I mean you could just add that into your loops

And what kind of distance is that, just x distance or

[limber hedge]

wdym? Distance as an int I guess

[high edge]

Which kinda distance

[limber hedge]

B

Honestly whichever is the easier one

OH

The first picture has X Y Z

It has to be A then

[high edge]

So you're only checking 15 within the player then?

[limber hedge]

Yea

[high edge]

Why don't you just loop in a sphere and get the blocks in there, instead of from 0-256

[limber hedge]

I tried that in the above function

[limber hedge]

Here

[high edge]

that'd work in a cube, but yea probably good enough

Then just loop through them, and get the Location#distance, however you might want to use Location#distanceSquared since performance

[limber hedge]

                    for(Block b : getNearbyBlocks(player.getLocation(), 15)) {

                        if(b.getType() == Material.NOTE_BLOCK) {
                                    int distance = (int) b.getLocation().distanceSquared(player.getLocation());
                                    if (distance <= 15) {
                                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Distance = " + distance);
                                        if (distance >= 12 && distance <= 15) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.5f);
                                            break;
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 8 && distance <= 11) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 0.7f);
                                            break;
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 4 && distance <= 7) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 1.2f);
                                            break;
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 3 && distance <= 4) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 1.6f);
                                            break;
                                        }
                                        if (distance >= 1 && distance <= 2) {
                                            player.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 1.0f, 2f);
                                        }

                            }
                        }
                    }```

I tried that here but for some reason it would not return the closest block

[high edge]

Well you cause that'd loop until it find the first block, then stop

You'd have to get all the noteblocks, then sort them by the distance

[limber hedge]

Should I put them into a HashMap?

[high edge]

When you're looping through the blocks, you could have a map with an int for the distance and the block, and then just sort the map

[limber hedge]

This is a general java question but how do I get the first value in a sorted map?

Map<Block, Integer> unsortMap = new HashMap<Block, Integer>();

sortByValue(unsortMap).get(0)```
Returns the first in the list?

[stuck hearth]

That will return the first element, but it may not be the first element that was inserted.

[limber hedge]

Its returning null

https://paste.helpch.at/upuzomimey.cs

[stuck hearth]

Nothing in it then

[mint summit]

Hi!

Can somebody help me with a question?

[icy shadow]

only 1 way to find out!

[mint summit]

I tried to create separated inventories using this way, i think it works, somehow, but what can I do to open them using a command
that's my idea:

    Inventory[] itemsMenuGui;

    public ItemsMenu() {
        itemsMenuGui = new Inventory[0];
        createItemsMenu();
    }

    public void createItemsMenu() {
        itemsListConfig = new ItemsListConfigFile(plugin);
        Objects.requireNonNull(itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getConfigurationSection("Inventories")).getKeys(false).forEach(ID -> {
            String menuName = itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getString("Inventories." + ID + ".menu_name");
            itemsMenuGui[Integer.parseInt(ID)] = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, "§8§oEditing " + menuName + " menu...");
        });
    }

    public void openInventory(Player player, int ID) {
        player.openInventory(itemsMenuGui[ID]);
    }

command class:

                itemsMenu = new ItemsMenu();
                itemsMenu.openInventory(player, Integer.parseInt(args[0]));

if somehow I could give the size for Inventory[] itemsMenuGui; as the numbers of the inventories in my config like Inventory[] itemsMenuGui = new Inventory[inventories_list];

sorry for my bad english

[high edge]

Can I suggest using something like triumph gui

Brister, can I suggest you to go suck a chicken

[icy shadow]

tee hee

[hoary scarab]

Try list or map

[mint summit]

let me try

do u mean like this? List<Inventory> itemsMenuGui;

[high edge]

A map would probably best so you can keep track of which inventory is which

[mint summit]

oke oke, let me try

[hoary scarab]

yes.

[hoary scarab]

Unless his object has an ID object

[mint summit]

well.. i think im doing something wrong then

    List<Inventory> itemsMenuGui;

    public ItemsMenu() {
        createItemsMenu();
    }

    public void createItemsMenu() {
        itemsListConfig = new ItemsListConfigFile(plugin);
        Objects.requireNonNull(itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getConfigurationSection("Inventories")).getKeys(false).forEach(ID -> {
            String menuName = itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getString("Inventories." + ID + ".menu_name");
            itemsMenuGui.set(Integer.parseInt(ID), Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, "§8§oEditing " + menuName + " menu..."));
        });
    }

cuz i get this error

 null
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.util.List.set(int, Object)" because "this.itemsMenuGui" is null

[hoary scarab]

You're doing set instead of add.... If you want the ID either add it in your object or use map

[mint summit]

ooohhh

i see

itemsMenuGui.add(Integer.parseInt(ID), Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, "§8§oEditing " + menuName + " menu..."));

but i get the same error

[hoary scarab]

Again... if you want the ID use a map or add it to your object

or remove it from the method call

[mint summit]

i did it

with map

thank u

[hoary scarab]

Np

[brittle thunder]

A male chicken?

[high edge]

That'd be too vulgar, hence he can go suck a chicken

[mint summit]

hey, can somebody help me with this question

how could I use the same inventory across all my classes, like, for example Inventory 1 is created in my class ItemsMenu from my config file:

public class ItemsMenu {

    public ItemsListConfigFile itemsListConfig;

    private final Map<Integer, Inventory> itemsMenuGui = new HashMap<>();

    public ItemsMenu() {
        createItemsMenu();
    }

    public void createItemsMenu() {
        itemsListConfig = new ItemsListConfigFile(plugin);
        Objects.requireNonNull(itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getConfigurationSection("Inventories")).getKeys(false).forEach(ID -> {
            String menuName = itemsListConfig.getItemsListConfig().getString("Inventories." + ID + ".menu_name");
            itemsMenuGui.put(Integer.parseInt(ID), Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, "§8§oEditing " + menuName + " menu..."));
        });
    }

    public void openInventory(Player player, int ID) {
        player.openInventory(getInventory(ID));
    }
}

then i wanna open this same inventory it with a command

itemsMenu = new ItemsMenu();
itemsMenu.openInventory(player, Integer.parseInt(args[0]));

then i wanna get exactly the same inventory in another class,
so i did this:

    @EventHandler
    public void checkInventory(InventoryOpenEvent event) {
        itemsMenu = new ItemsMenu();
        Map<Integer, Inventory> inventoryList = itemsMenu.getInventoryList();
        Inventory openedInventory = event.getInventory();

        if (inventoryList.containsValue(openedInventory)) {
            itemsMenuGui = openedInventory;
        }
    }

but the problem is with itemsMenu = new ItemsMenu(); wich creates a "new inventory" for every class

So, what i have to do to create a single inventory for all my classes, like a static one, but without using static keyword? 🥺

I hope I have explained what I meant, my english is not the best 😅

[echo briar]

https://paste.helpch.at/hasakubitu.cs can someone help me set this up? I’ve tried multiple different ways of making it yet non work

[torn heart]

rn i'm tryna spawn a villager facing a direction, problem is that i can set the pitch, but not the yaw. i'm doing this with just location.setYaw(), but it's not doing anything

[pine flax]

Can villagers look up/down apart from specific behavior actions?

[torn heart]

what?

i'm setting the yaw not the pitch

[pine flax]

Oh I got it flipped

Did you set yaw before spawning the villager?

[torn heart]

yes

i've tried setting it after by getting the nms Entity and setting the yaw like that but that doesn't work either

[pine flax]

What if you set it after without nms? getLocation().setYaw()

[torn heart]

you can't getLocation on a Villager

[winged pebble]

Are you trying to set the head yaw? I feel like I remember something when I messed with this

[winged pebble]

You'd need to do getBukkitEntity().getLocation()

[torn heart]

head and body

[torn heart]

it IS a bukkit entity

[winged pebble]

Every Entity has getLocation()

[torn heart]

Location loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), -1.5, 114, 12.5);
        loc.setYaw(90);
        loc.setPitch(45);
        Villager perks = (Villager) Bukkit.getWorld("world").spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.VILLAGER);```

perks doensn't have .getLocation()

i'm in 1.8.9 btw

wait

what

i swear it wasn't showing up earlier

[winged pebble]

getLocation() is from Entity and basically everything inherits from Entity

[torn heart]

i know, but i wasn't seeing it for some reason

i guess i'm just blind

yea it doesn't work

.setYaw just doesn't do anything

i'm too tired, ill solve it later

[echo briar]

Any ideas on this? I’m so lost

[winged pebble]

What part doesn't work?

[echo briar]

It reloads the config but it won’t update the material change

[winged pebble]

What if you do it twice?

[echo briar]

it changes the material like it should but non of my other classes register it so it's unusable

[winged pebble]

wym they don't register?

[echo briar]

one of my events checks for the material, when i reload it gives me the new item with the corrected material, however now the event doesn't recognize the material until i restart the server and or rejoin

[winged pebble]

So the issue to me seems to be in those events listeners, not this class

[echo briar]

ah okay, do i need to change priority possibly?

[winged pebble]

Show me the events

[echo briar]

[winged pebble]

So what part in here doesn't work like you expect?

[echo briar]

this is the event that isn't working after reloading

[winged pebble]

What part isn't working though?

[echo briar]

the right click?

[winged pebble]

Where is sword defined?

[echo briar]

e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) && isSimilarButNotNull(sword, e.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInHand())

[winged pebble]

No, where was it defined

Not used

[echo briar]

oh sorry my bad https://paste.helpch.at/oropowukoj.cs

[winged pebble]

Yeah, so when you reload the config, this event still holds the old item

[echo briar]

ohhh alright that actually makes a bunch of sense

how would i reload/refresh it?

[winged pebble]

You would have to reference the config more than just one time

Currently you're only looking at the config when you initialize that class

But in order to stay up to date, you'd have to look at the config every time you want to compare to that sword

[echo briar]

okay
