placeholder-api

[sharp bloom]

oh wait no just 1 cause i changed the other one to string equals

[junior musk]

what's the other one?

[sharp bloom]

smthing that gaby or bliz sent but i didnt rly bothered to change it back to string equals

[junior musk]

xD

[sharp bloom]

type: javascript
expression: '"%parseother_{{username}}_{player_online}%" != "no"'

this

[junior musk]

bruh

why would you use JS though

oh wasn't there smth in old DM versions where arguments only worked in JS ?

type: string equals
input: "%parseother_{{username}}_{player_online}%"
output: "yes"

[sharp bloom]

ye i changed it now

no more javascript placeholders

oh wait no i think i might have somwhere more 💀

related to luckperms temp permission

cause i wanted to return minutes without the format 2m > 2

i dont recall if i ve used it yet but its there

[strange bough]

Isn't there a playtime or ontime plugin that supports papi placeholders?

[nimble jasper]

Why isn't color formatting applied?

function helloWorld() {
    return "&aHello, world!";
}

helloWorld();

Game: &aHello, world!

[vivid sparrow]

Because placeholderapi no longer does that

[nimble jasper]

and how do i use it again then?

[vivid sparrow]

you can use § instead if &

[rancid lake]

Hello, I have a problem with the statistic plugin via PlaceholderAPI, namely %statistic_mine_block% counts as 2, if you dig one, you could fix it

[junior musk]

Behold, ping colors with ranges

I added it

[austere hawk]

How do I get the player date

The local date, if it is Monday, Tuesday etc.

[sharp bloom]

sharing Is caring

[warm plover]

For some reason, the essentials placeholders for baltop aren't updating

/baltop shows completely different values then the placeholders

[austere hawk]

¿?

[sharp bloom]

localtime expansion with %localtime_time% placeholder

[rich glen]

what exactly should be returned in

    @Override
    public @NotNull List<String> getPlaceholders() {
        //
    }

?

couldn't find anything in the docs

I assume it's for tab-completion, but:

• Should it include the identifier
• Should it include %'s?

[vivid sparrow]

yes for both iirc

[junior musk]

yeah it's the entire placeholder, so %player_name% for example

[junior musk]

dw I'll send you a jar once I get of out bed

[rich glen]

Yeh figured it out by trial and error

[junior musk]

they're broken or at least every single person I saw that were using those placeholders couldn't get them to work.
I recommend using ajLeaderboards with the vault eco balance placeholder

[warm plover]

Darn

Aight, thanks!

[sharp bloom]

[junior musk]

sent in dm

[austere hawk]

I have the problem that all the players are returned the default time of the server

[hot cape]

When I'm using a JavaScript extension, the extension doesn't load my script properly in any mode on JDK 18. However, on another more complex JDK 18 server, it works correctly. The versions of PlaceholderAPI and the JavaScript extension are the same. I really want to know why.

[candid hearth]

String headerText = ChatColor.of("#0471FB") + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Welcome to Frionous SMP\n" +
                ChatColor.of("#D5D8D9") + "-------------------------------------------------\n" +
                ChatColor.of("#0471FB") + "There are currently" + ChatColor.of("#D5D8D9") + " %player_name% " + ChatColor.of("#0471FB") + "players online!";
        String footerText = ChatColor.of("#0471FB") + "MCMMO Mining Lvl:" + "%mcmmo-mining-level%" +
                "website link";

        headerText = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(event.getPlayer(), headerText);

Am I doing something wrong? When I add the last line the entire plugin breaks

[modest storm]

How can I stop players from being able to use placeholders?

[austere hawk]

Placeholder so that if a text contains "_" it is replaced by a space

[modest storm]

Is there not a way to revoke permission to use placeholders 🤔

[vast oasis]

wdym? like in chat? If so, your chat plugin is reponsible for that

[austere hawk]

Please

[vast oasis]

%formatter_text_replace_[target]_[replacement]_<text>% https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#formatter

[desert current]

hello, im new and i need help with placeholder couse it doesnt sync with luckyperms

[austere hawk]

%formatter_text_replace___ _Hello_Player% = Hello Player

[vast oasis]

hmmm

i can write you a tiny PAPI addon that's only for underscores if there really isn't any available

[modest storm]

not sure what you mean sorry, i have some chatfilter plugins but nothing that can limit anything like that

[austere hawk]

In return?

[vast oasis]

dw I'll do it for free

just gimme half an hour, I need to make coffee first

[austere hawk]

It would be better for symbols, right?

[vast oasis]

wdym?

[austere hawk]

Well, replace _- with spaces or another character

%str_replace_minecraft_mine_our% And what is this for?

[vast oasis]

yeah I'll do it like this
%replaceunderscores_<whatToReplaceWith>_<textToReplace>%

[vast oasis]

no clue, I never used placeholderapi myself

[junior musk]

does exactly what the name suggests

replaces mine by our in the text minecraft

though unsure if that's the correct order

and I thought the expansion name was string, not str

uh, it's not even there

ah

it's another expansion

[austere hawk]

Well, that's how it is in ecloud

[austere hawk]

How can I replace "_" with " " in a text

[vast oasis]

https://github.com/mfnalex/PAPIUnderscoreReplacer here you go
usage:
%replaceunderscores_ _my_original_text%

just drop the .jar into your plugins/ and restart

it's NOT an ecloud extension but a standalone plugin that hooks into PAPI

[austere hawk]

better %replace_

Cleaner the placeholder

[vast oasis]

but it only replaces underscores

hence it's called replaceunderscores

[austere hawk]

Do you think I have insecurity to use? lol

[vast oasis]

wdym?

oh do you mean if you can trust me that the .jar is legit? well look at my spigotmc plugins 😛 https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/authors/mfnalex.175238/

[austere hawk]

And to replace -

[austere hawk]

%replacehyphens_text_to_replace%

[wheat prism]

having the same issue, what exactly do you mean here?

[vast oasis]

for anything else than underscores you can use %formatter_text_replace

%formatter_text_replace_-_ _this-is a test% -> "this is a test"

underscores is the only thing that formatter_text_replace can't do, hence I only made a plugin for underscores

[austere hawk]

That's better, I think, maybe I don't know how you did it in 5 minutes

[vast oasis]

a separate placeholder for hyphens is not needed because you can already do that with %formatter_text_replace

[vast oasis]

which chat plugin do you use? do you also have luckperms?

[wheat prism]

yes, for chat im also using chatfilter, if thats what u mean by that

[vast oasis]

if so you can do this

1. enter /lp verbose record
2. use a placeholder in chat
3. enter /lp verbose upload
   then send the link and we can see which plugin is causing this

[wheat prism]

okay thank u sec

[austere hawk]

%replaceunderscores_ _my_original_text% my original text

[vast oasis]

yeah

[wheat prism]

https://luckperms.net/verbose/A4mZAPZbpK

[austere hawk]

%str_uppercase_{replaceunderscores_ _my_original_text}%

is this going to work?

[wheat prism]

theres that for ya

i hope thats enough

should i have had an alt send the placeholder?

[austere hawk]

Sorry ping, is this done right? @junior musk

[vast oasis]

idk if it's possible to nest placeholders

[vast oasis]

which account used a placeholder?

[wheat prism]

mine

[vast oasis]

you should try to do this as non-OP

[wheat prism]

yeah i figured lmao oops

one sec

[vast oasis]

%str_uppercase_{replaceunderscores_ _this_message_has_spaces_and_uppercase}%

that works

you need /papi ecloud download str

[austere hawk]

Okey

Yea

Thanks friend, just check the expansion if it is well done in case you doubt it

[vast oasis]

you're welcome

only took 5 minutes lol

maybe I can turn it into an ecloud extension

idk how it works to get sth officially uploaded there, never really used PAPI before

[austere hawk]

i guess you can

[wheat prism]

https://luckperms.net/verbose/aWxCtwERWG

that should do it

user inky77 did the placeholder

[vast oasis]

which placeholder did you use?

[wheat prism]

%player_health%

[vast oasis]

hm I don't see anything related to placeholders in that

[wheat prism]

okay

[vast oasis]

maybe send a list of your plugins?

[wheat prism]

crying emoji

oh okay yes

[vast oasis]

hm no clue tbh

[wheat prism]

oh :<

thats awkward huh

[vast oasis]

you could install EventDebugger, then we can find out for sure

one second

[wheat prism]

okay

thank you for the help by the way!

[vast oasis]

1. install this: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/eventdebugger.82055/
2. restart server
3. edit config of EventDebugger, remove everything and add this:

exact:
  AsyncChat:
    class: "org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent"
    methods:
      - "getFormat"
      - "getMessage"
  Chat:
    class: "org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent"
    methods:
      - "getFormat"
      - "getMessage"

4. Restart again. Then use a placeholder again, and the log file should tell you which plugin replaced the placeholders

[wheat prism]

thanks! on it :>

[vast oasis]

Expect a lot of console spam while EventDebugger is running. But it will 100% tell you which plugin is causing it

[vast oasis]

np!

[wheat prism]

do you mean eventdebugger log file?

[vast oasis]

no, your actual latest.log

[wheat prism]

mmm i see

okay

[vast oasis]

you can also upload it on the site mentioned in the channel description (or dm it to me) and i'll take a look

[wheat prism]

its vouchers???

so weird

[vast oasis]

is it? can you paste that log part pls?

[wheat prism]

here ill dm u

[vast oasis]

ok

[wheat prism]

done!

[vast oasis]

for the record, it was indeed vouchers, very weird lol https://github.com/Tweetzy/Vouchers/blob/main/src/main/java/ca/tweetzy/vouchers/listeners/VoucherListeners.java#L147

[vast oasis]

is there already a PAPI extension with the identifier "replace"?

[restive nova]

please update it

[restive nova]

😭

I beg

This extension has not been updated for a long time.

Im trying to use pinger and put in my scoreboard (scoreboard plugin: simplescore) and i did %ping% doesnt work and the others on the github doesnt work aswell well it did but is either 0 1 or -1. anyone have anyidea how to fix this?

[junior musk]

%player_ping%

[sharp bloom]

wow the lore one is awesome too

[fossil turtle]

Hello! Help please, I made a plugin, but it does not work, I searched the entire Internet, I did not find anything about this problem anywhere. The loading order doesn't seem to be broken, first PlaceHolder and then my plugin, but it doesn't work(( https://paste.helpch.at/cohutipivo.css

[junior musk]

you shaded PlaceholderAPI

if you're using Maven, set the scope of the dependency to compile, if you're using Gradle, instead of compile or implementation, use compileOnly

[fossil turtle]

<scope>compile</scope>? (im use maven)

[junior musk]

yeah

oh my bad

it's provided instead of compile

[fossil turtle]

Oh that's another mistake
https://paste.helpch.at/qufayuqezo.php

[fossil turtle]

but

but not work

[junior musk]

did you add PlaceholderAPI to your plugin.yml's softdepend?

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/#optional-attributes

[fossil turtle]

Yes, I have tried both "depend: [PlaceholderAPI]" and "softdependent: [PlaceholderAPI]" but neither works

[junior musk]

send your server logs

[fossil turtle]

https://paste.helpch.at/ikumuzeyun.makefile

[junior musk]

that's the first error

[fossil turtle]

?

[junior musk]

the one you sent here is different

[fossil turtle]

ah one sec

[fossil turtle]

ahh, this?)

https://paste.helpch.at/otaputibah.makefile

[junior musk]

PAPI loaded before

can you send me your plugin jar in DM?

[fossil turtle]

Okk

[junior musk]

it looks fine

I can't find anything wrong =/

[fossil turtle]

Is everything working for you?)

[junior musk]

nope, it throws the error for me as well

[fossil turtle]

oh, wtf mystic

[junior musk]

yeah weird

[fossil turtle]

I managed to fix it! I switched from PaperAPI to SpigotAPI and it worked!

[true elbow]

Hello, someone knows because the expansion Javascript does not work for me, the plugin load correctly but the test a placeholder does not leave me anything in the chat and does not give me any error.

[sharp jay]

Show the placeholder

?paste

[fading blaze]

hi, i want to read from placeholder every 30 seconds and send the value to a database

the sending is done

but

i dont know how to read from a placeholder

in a plugin

I only found the "setPlaceholders" but thats not what i need

[vast oasis]

that is what you need

String result = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(somePlayerOrNull, "%placeholder_you_want_to_get%");

@fading blaze

[fading blaze]

thank you

but wait.

The somePlayerOrNull should be placed with player's name who's value should be readed right?

[vast oasis]

yes

[fading blaze]

thank you

[vast oasis]

well not the name

but the OfflinePlayer or Player object

[fading blaze]

uuid?

ohh

mb

xd

[waxen shell]

Is there anyway i can resets all stats for players?, such as "%statistic_deaths%" as we've been testing, the server hasn't launched, but i want to have all players start with 0 deaths,

i already deleted playerdata and stats as i saw a tutorial, but that data seems to still be stored

[vast oasis]

<serverFolder>/world/stats/

there's one file per UUID

just stop the server, delete that folder, and there you go

[restive nova]

Why I can't register String expansion in the lastest papi>

Just tell me Failed to find .....

[vivid sparrow]

It is not verified

Download it manually

[restive nova]

I regitsered it manually

/papi register Expansion-String.jar

[round marsh]

dumb question but is there a code-api part of the plugin that allows me to use the placeholders in smthn like python code?

[sharp bloom]

isnt there any placeholder that returns a boolean or smth when the item in offhand is still maxed?

i m aware of the %player_item_in_offhand_durability% but that returns the durability :/

[vast oasis]

no, not without something ugly like Py4J 🥲 https://www.py4j.org/index.html

[vast oasis]

you can use %string_equals% or sth to compare it with the max durability

[sharp bloom]

yuh ik but i want it for multiple menus so the value ll have to change for different tools

thats why i m asking if there is smthing boolean :/

[vast oasis]

oh well for armor there's %armor_durability_left_<slot>% and %armor_durability_max_<slot>% that you could compare

but not for offhand

[sharp bloom]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[vast oasis]

i could write you a tiny expansion that returns the max durability for the currently held item, then you could throw that into %string_equals%

[sharp bloom]

nah its fine no biggie i can change the output values

[vast oasis]

alrighty

[junior musk]

_damage?

it starts from 0

durability is the opposite

[sharp bloom]

what _damage :/ ?

I can't find any placeholder related to offhand about the dmg

[junior musk]

maybe it's just not listed

try player_item_in_offhand_damage

I know it's there because I saw it in the code xD

[dapper mauve]

Could my extension get verified? https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/minepacks/

[junior musk]

I think your expansion needs to be open-source to get verified

[dapper mauve]

Its not obfuscated, you can decompile it easily

[vivid sparrow]

Publish it on a repo

[half jewel]

%checkitem_amt:7,mat:paper......% don't work
all materials work but not Paper why ?

[dapper mauve]

Uploaded to a github repository.

[sharp bloom]

it returns the placeholder not any result :/

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3APlaceholderAPI%2FPlayer-Expansion+damage&type=code i only found these related to dmg

[junior musk]

seems like it's _data

forgot about that

[sharp bloom]

oh yee that works

it returns 0 when it doesnt have any dmg taken

thankss

[uneven terrace]

Good day, i cant seem to get placeholders to work (by thelooks of it), i have the plugin installed i have tried doing ecloud and stuff but nothing seems to work

this is what my game looks like
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/529374787458301962/1145812899126841454/Untitled.png

help would be glady appreciated!!

[solid hazel]

Hiya! On request of PhoenixCrates is anyone able to make it happen an API to make sure that specific cases happens, such as setting block, opening the crate for the user and so on 😄 ?

Please @ me if u know how Or if you know a plugin which already does this ^^

[dapper mauve]

?

[sharp bloom]

did u do what gaby said?

[frank glacier]

what's the best way to prevent this message in console for people who haven't killed/died yet? this math is to calculate KD - can i force it to 0 or something if it fails?
[21:17:09 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected!
[21:17:09 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_deaths}%
[21:17:09 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '0/0' is not a valid Math expression.

[dapper mauve]

I did it

its linked at the extension's page

[vast oasis]

you can replace 0/0 with simply 0, gimme a minute

[frank glacier]

oh cool ok thank you

[vast oasis]

hmmm does PAPI not allow double nested placeholders?

[mint fable]

use utils

%utils_parse_math...%

but

you shouldn't need it

math has a max function

or min

[vast oasis]

but that'd still be a double nested placeholder

[mint fable]

%math_{statistic_player_kills}/MAX({statistic_player_deaths}, 1)% maybe

[mint fable]

min isn't a placeholder

it's part of evalex

or

it should be MAX

not min

i was right the first time

[vast oasis]

nah that also just returns the palceholder

[mint fable]

does it give an error

[vast oasis]

no

[mint fable]

do you have math

and statistic?

the issue is that 0/0 is not a valid expression because you can't divide by 0

[vast oasis]

yes

i have both

does an expansion have to handle placeholders in placeholders themselves?

or is that a normal PAPI feature

[mint fable]

/papi parse me %statistic_player_kills%

[vast oasis]

that obv works fine

[mint fable]

@frank glacier does this work for you

[mint fable]

and /papi parse me %math_{statistic_player_kills}% ?

[vast oasis]

> papi parse Stullenesser_ %math_{statistic_player_kills}/MAX({statistic_player_deaths}, 1)%
[00:08:51 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected!

>

mb I didnt see the error msg lol

[mint fable]

O.o

[vast oasis]

returns 0.000

[mint fable]

what about /papi parse me %statistic_player_deaths%

[vast oasis]

it looks like it can only handle one nested placeholder?

[mint fable]

there are no nested placeholders

[vast oasis]

 papi parse Stullenesser_ %statistic_player_deaths%
[00:10:11 INFO]: Unknown statistic 'player_deaths', check https://helpch.at/docs/1.20.1/org/bukkit/Statistic.html for more info
>

[mint fable]

ah, that's wrong then

[vast oasis]

well {statistic...} inside %math is a nested placeholder, isn't it?

[mint fable]

it's {statistic_deaths}

[vast oasis]

yeah the correct one is %statistic_deaths%

but we used that before

[mint fable]

not nested

the expansion, math, supports placeholders with {}

[vast oasis]

oooh but we didnt use it with your MAX thingy

[mint fable]

again

max is also not a placeholder

it is a function of evalex

%math_{placeholder_{placeholder}}% would be nested, and that can be done with utils

[vast oasis]

yeah this correctly returns 0.000 @frank glacier %math_{statistic_player_kills}/MAX({statistic_deaths}, 1)%

is utils builtin? I cannot find it on the placeholders list on github

[mint fable]

no

it's on the ecloud

[frank glacier]

yeah that seems to have fixed my issue

thank you both very much

[vast oasis]

I always thought PAPI had support for nested placeholders builtin 🥲 guess I gotta rewrite my expansion because right now it's useless lol

I guess I can just throw the match of this regex at setPlaceholders until it stops matching ^.*({[^}]*}).*$

[frank glacier]

massive rip

[lethal breach]

I added my expansion inside my plugin. However, if I type /papi reload, the placeholders no longer work. May I ask how can I fix it so that the expansion on my plugin also reload or at least still work?

[junior musk]

override the perists method and make it return true

[lethal breach]

May I know where can I find this?

[vast oasis]

Is there a reason why setBracketPlaceholders(OfflinePlayer, ...) is annotated with NotNull, but setBracketPlaceholders(Player, ...) isn't?

[junior musk]

you create a method called persists that returns a boolean, and you make it return true

if you use IDEA, type @Override, then it'll suggest you Override/Implement or smth like that

[lethal breach]

@Override
public boolean Persists() {
return true;
}

May I confirm if this is the right method? It doesn't seem right. I think I got the wrong term

[junior musk]

then you can choose the persists method from there

yeah, with lowercase p

[vast oasis]

this makes especially little sense since setBracketPlaceholders(Player, String) just returns setBracketPlaceholders(OfflinePlayer, String), so shouldn't the Player one also be annotated with NotNull?

[lethal breach]

Let me try it. Thank you!

[lethal breach]

It says: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

[junior musk]

send your entire class

[vast oasis]

guess I'll just quickly PR the NotNull in

[junior musk]

?paste

[lethal breach]

No worries, I noticed it doesn't require the Override:

public boolean persist() {
        return true;
    }

This works. Thank you!

[junior musk]

oh my bad

thought it was persists

[junior musk]

well the override annotation is helpful to find such mistakes 😅

[vast oasis]

huh, Override must not throw an error there

was the Uppercase the problem?

[junior musk]

that way, you were able to find out that it was persist without the s

[vast oasis]

i usually just type @ Ov, press enter, and then you can choose the method from a list in intelliJ lol

[lethal breach]

Truly is. This now works perfectly fine, Thank you Tanguygab!

[junior musk]

same

[sharp bloom]

Tanguygab be carrying this channel fr fr

[junior musk]

nah

[vast oasis]

yaay my first PAPI pull request \o/

damn and it's issue #1000

huehue

[fallen nacelle]

running arclight 1.16.5
so my machine ran out of storage space, causing a player to loose his playtime, i basically have a gui with an item with this lore:
- '&#ffffffYour current playtime is &#14fa1c%<% &#ffffffhours and &#14fa1c%math_0:half-up_(({statistic_minutes_played} / 60) - {statistic_hours_played}) * 60% &#ffffffminutes!'
but the values for statistic got reset, when i run /cmi playtime <playerName> he only has a few hours, how could i manually fix this?

i just need to override his playtime

but i cannot find where its storing its data

[vast oasis]

stop the server, then take a look at world/stats/<uuid>.dat

it's a huge .json file, maybe open it with some proper json viewing tool online, because all the stuff is on one line in a normal text editor

[fallen nacelle]

could it be a <uuid>.json file?

[mint fable]

cmi also provides placeholders

[mint fable]

yes

https://www.zrips.net/cmi/placeholders/

%cmi_user_playtime_formatted% – Formatted playtime
%cmi_user_playtime_days% – Playtime in days
%cmi_user_playtime_dayst% – Playtime in days with fraction
%cmi_user_playtime_hours% – Playtime in hours
%cmi_user_playtime_hoursf% – Total playtime in hours
%cmi_user_playtime_hourst% – Total playtime in hours with fraction
%cmi_user_playtime_minutes% – Playtime in minutes
%cmi_user_playtime_minutest% – Total playtime in minutes
%cmi_user_playtime_seconds% – Playtime in minutes
%cmi_user_playtime_secondst% – Total playtime in minutes

and maybe
%cmi_user_stats_playtime%

[fallen nacelle]

yea but i think in this case its using https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#:~:text=speedpersec_damaging%25 %25speedpersec_hurting%25 %25speedpersec_clicking%25-,Statistic,-/papi ecloud download

[mint fable]

O.o

it's using the stats folder that mfnalex mentioned

I'm just telling you that CMI also provides placeholders if you want to use them instead

[fallen nacelle]

oh

yea thank you

[vast oasis]

erm yes, that's what I meant

I even said it's a .json file lol. stupid me

[uneven terrace]

anyone help? :<

[fallen nacelle]

so i couldnt find any playtime in the json file, this is the content https://paste.md-5.net/axulewavih.json
so i went to playerdata folder and found the <uuid>.dat file of the player, with NBTExplorer i found this firstPlayed: 1691160430216 under the bukkit sector, and deluxemenus:reward-2-playtime: 6115 deluxemenus:reward-1-playtime: 7701 , i imagine thats the issue? i dont see how the placeholder could be taking that value instead of the playertime instead

https://discordapp.com/channels/164280494874165248/452279708856614912/1145873330499493898

thats the image

i cant send it here

should i just copy the value of firstPlayed and paste it in deluxemenus:reward-2-playtime and deluxemenus:reward-1-playtime?

feel free to tag thanks 😄

"minecraft:play_time"

not sure why you wouldn't use the cmi placeholder instead though, since that seems a lot easier to reset

especially if you're doing it often and for many players

or actually "minecraft:play_one_minute" in your file

Ah, I see it won't be done often or for many players

[fallen nacelle]

yea its a random case ideally i dont change anything

other than the value for this one player

[mint fable]

right

[sharp bloom]

hey cj i remember that u ve mentioned before that if an items plugin has a take command we should use that instead of the checkitem remove. why is that :/ ? is there smthing wrong with the checkitem?

[junior musk]

because commands have permissions, while the checkitem placeholder can be used by anyone who can parse placeholders

so if you have a plugin that parses placeholders in a player's input, it could lead to serious issues if the placeholder is parsed for someone else, or even for the player himself if he uses the give placeholder

[sharp bloom]

hm

[junior musk]

& compared to commands, placeholders aren't logged in console

so there'd be no trace anything even happened

[sharp bloom]

eh i ll still risk it using it on one of my menus :/

cause i wanna remove an item from offhand

i mean how could possibly a user gets access to it :/

[junior musk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp bloom]

%checkitem_remove_amt:1,inhand:off,_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..executableitems:ei-id=slimy_castmaster% i like dis 🤷🏻‍♂️

the chat plugin can parse placeholders in chat but players wont have permission to it

hmm mby by disabling it ll add more security

Hello, can someone help me to change vault eco formatting to be same as essentialsx?
https://i.imgur.com/9tjqtFX.png

[vivid sparrow]

And the plugin should have a better system for doing it + it is quicker than writing a big ass placeholder

[dapper mauve]

@vivid sparrow

[dapper mauve]

sorry

[vivid sparrow]

What

[dapper mauve]

could you verify my extension or not? i did what you asked

[mint fable]

it's really more of an issue for give rather than remove

like opening a deluxemenus with args would let the user parse the placeholder

[violet void]

Try 1500.0

At output

[austere hawk]

How do I remove decimal numbers from a number

example 4.72 to 4

what i want to do is %placeholder_value_number% ÷ 100 = number without decimal

[mint fable]

%math_0:_{placeholder}%

@austere hawk

[austere hawk]

Thanks man

[austere hawk]

This is to remove only the decimals right?

[violet void]

Yes

[mint fable]

you can add the /100 as well if needed

[austere hawk]

And to make a division

Divide the value of a placeholder by 100 and remove the decimals

[mint fable]

%math_0:_{placeholder}/100%

[austere hawk]

Thank you

[warm plover]

%placeholder_parse:5_math_0:_{string_substring_5,6_{block_data}}+1%

Any idea how I can make this parse correctly?

https://imgur.com/a/WvXB566

%block_data% is from another plugin that supports PAPI being used within their built in placeholders

[mint fable]

%utils_parse... ?

right?

[warm plover]

I'm using the old placeholder format

Let me try utils anyway tho

[mint fable]

I never knew of that one

[warm plover]

It was short lived lol

[mint fable]

right...

you also shouldn't need parse:5 anymore

just parse

should work pretty good

[warm plover]

.

I'll check it out, ty!

[mint fable]

ya, using an in-between build lol

for sure, lmk if anything arises

[warm plover]

https://imgur.com/EjKmbFy

Parses as this

%util_parse_math_0:_{string_substring_5,6_{block_data}}+1%

[mint fable]

well, {block_data} is presumably a deluxemenus arg, is that right?

[warm plover]

huh, I feel like util isn't working period

[mint fable]

it doesn't look like you need utils at all actually

if it is a deluxemenus arg

is block_data a placeholderapi placeholder?

[warm plover]

Nah, it's a placeholder from ConditionalEvents

It just outputs [age=7] and the author has made these plugin placeholders built to work with placeholderapis placeholders

But I dunno for sure if you can nest them lol

[mint fable]

well test it out, if it works: you probably don't need utils at all

[warm plover]

I just tried parsing %util_parse_{math_0:_3+1}% and it parses as itself, is my util broken maybe?

[mint fable]

shouldn't start with {} probably

oh

you did util

it is utils

[warm plover]

...

whoops

let's ignore that

So %utils_parse_math_0:_{string_substring_5,6_{block_data}}+1% parses as math_0:__}+1

The goal is for it to be parsing as 7+1

[mint fable]

{block_data} won't parse as anything

you'll need to test it using the conditional event

[warm plover]

oh

well I'm dumb too

[mint fable]

it's parsing string_substring_5,6_{block_data as a placeholder and returning _ fyi

[warm plover]

Yeah I noticed that now ;-;

Yeah seems like I cannot do that

I think I have another solution to this that just uses a string replace

[mint fable]

{block_data} doesn't turn into [age=7] before parsing the placeholderapi placeholder?

[warm plover]

It does, but not when nested

Well, it parses as age=7, thought it had square brackets but nope lol

[mint fable]

that's... weird

if conditional events changes it, there shouldn't be any interference from papi

[warm plover]

Yeah I'm guessing it's just some weird thing on CE's end

Thanks for the help tho! I think I can do what I'm trying to do with replacements

[mint fable]

@warm plover it's not {block_data} right?

it would be %block_data%

it's not a papi placeholder, so switching it to {} wouldn't do the trick

try %block_data%: if conditionalevents changes it before parsing for papi placeholders, it should work

[warm plover]

It's %block_data but a recent update to CE allows you to use {block_data} for PAPI support

[mint fable]

ahh

[mint fable]

i think this is the other way around but i might be wrong

this?

For example, if you want to obtain the time of the world the player's in, you need to use the %world_time_<world>% variable (From ConditionalEvents) and inside <world> the variable %player_world% (From PlaceholderAPI). This can be done using brackets "{ }":
https://ajneb97.gitbook.io/conditionalevents/global-variables#variables-inside-variables

[warm plover]

I think so

[mint fable]

what if you put %block_data%

to test

[warm plover]

I tried using percents and it didn't work with that either

[mint fable]

ah

[warm plover]

It just parsed as the whole placeholder

[mint fable]

parsed?

[warm plover]

Outputted*

[mint fable]

ok

[warm plover]

I have a message on an event on the plugin to send the message

[mint fable]

right

actually, it should work with {block_data} judging by this

message: &7IP of &a%arg_1% &7is: %otherplayer_ip_{arg_1}%

[warm plover]

Should I try the parse number?

[mint fable]

%math_0:_{string_substring_5,6_{block_data}}+1%

[warm plover]

wait

Why did I even try using utils

I acted like that placeholder came from papi lol

[mint fable]

right

[warm plover]

Also doesn't work.. why I have no idea

It should

[mint fable]

prob a ce issue idrk

[warm plover]

Sadly yep

I appreciate the help tho ofc, hopefully I can make it work with replace

[mint fable]

[mint fable]

@fallen nacelle should start %math_0:_ with a _

also not sure what the f is after hours

or the t after minutes

unless those are just your placeholders

[fallen nacelle]

yea it was that, thank you

its total time

instead of non afk time

[mint fable]

ah

[hardy sonnet]

nested placeholders don't seem to be working with cmi's chat format, returning just a '%', even though running /cmi placeholders parse does produce the right result

I'm trying to make a death leaderboard with papi and DecentHolograms and ajleaderboards, I have the statistics placeholder installed to papi and %stastic_deaths% installed to ajleaderboards. This is an example of what my deaths hologram yml file looks like:

[austere hawk]

is there a placeholder to show how old a server is (like in days for example)?

[sharp bloom]

🤨 just set it yourself as a text?

[austere hawk]

i dont want to update it every day, thats a bit tedious

also whats the difference between %server_tps_1_colored% %server_tps_5_colored% %server_tps_15_colored%

[sharp bloom]

no i meant somethiing like Created: 9/1/2023

[sharp bloom]

1 1min
5 5min
15 15min

[austere hawk]

ahh i see

[austere hawk]

i want to have a tab like "(server age in days) days later..."

like 835 days later, look at the server now!

[mint fable]

hmm

[sharp bloom]

i ve never heard of such placeholder tbh

sadly u cant use math for dates 💀

[austere hawk]

i think the tps thing is a bit innacurate. i use %server_tps_1_colored% and i have never seen the tps at 18.5 (for example), while it has been at 18.5 at some point

like ive never seen tablist say "19.62 TPS"

is there a more specific one?

[mint fable]

the only one I know would be this javascript https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#difference-between-2-dates

[sharp bloom]

if think the tab plugin use a different placeholder for the tps?

[junior musk]

they retrieve the same data from Spigot

[mint fable]

you can set the start date of the server and it will get the difference, you can customize the output

[sharp bloom]

oh

[junior musk]

if Spigot returns the wrong TPS, then both placeholders will be wrong

but I don't see how it could be wrong xD

[sharp bloom]

i lowkey like this too

[austere hawk]

how do i install the JS expansion

[mint fable]

see the wiki

[sharp bloom]

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/javascript/

[mint fable]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki

[junior musk]

check the Home page of the wiki link you were sent

[sharp bloom]

its from clip and its not verified?

[mint fable]

correct, it has to be manually installed

[austere hawk]

i see

so how do i enter in the day the server was made?

[mint fable]

look at the script

you have to save that and set it up

instructions on the wiki

[austere hawk]

thank you

[sharp bloom]

also isnt the tps affected if your server isnt dedicated?

like it is with ram

[mint fable]

theoretically this could be entirely made with a math placeholder as well I bet

but I'm not gonna be the one to do that 😂

javascript is just a little slower

[mint fable]

meh, not really though, unless you really want to account for leap years and such 😂 🤷‍♂️

[austere hawk]

Any localtime alternative?

Why do I have to pay for the test key, right?

[mint fable]

i don't think there has been any movement on it that I see

[austere hawk]

so i downloaded the js expansion, placed it in papi/expansions, reloaded the server, in the javascripts folder i made a file named ServerAge.js with the following code:

    // year, month, day, hour, minute, second
    // months start at 0 and end at 11
    // January is 0. December is 11
    var startDate = new Date(2023, 8, 1);
    var endDate = new Date();
    var difference = endDate - startDate;

    var months = Math.floor(difference / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31));
    var days = Math.floor(difference % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
    var hours   = Math.floor(difference % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
    var minutes = Math.floor(difference % (1000 * 60 * 60) / (1000 * 60));
    var seconds = Math.floor(difference % (1000 * 60) / (1000));

    // XXmo XXd XXh XXm XXs (changeable)
    return months + "mo "+ days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s";
}

time();

[sharp bloom]

wut

[austere hawk]

what do i do next

[sharp bloom]

i use the localtime expansion pretty much fine ;-;

[austere hawk]

after what i did, what do i do next?

[austere hawk]

it doesn't work for me

[sharp bloom]

don't ask me lol i suck with javascript

[austere hawk]

Returns the default time to all players

And it doesn't block ipapi.co

[sharp bloom]

what localtime r u trying to get

[austere hawk]

About what

[austere hawk]

the player's

[austere hawk]

i want to display how many days it has been since August 1st 2023

[sharp bloom]

stop pinging me i told ya idk how to help u with the date thingie

i m bad with js

[austere hawk]

and me?

[sharp bloom]

no not u xd

[austere hawk]

okay

[sharp bloom]

but ye i dont think i ve ever made the playerslocaltime placeholder to work either

i mostly use the expansion to get specific timezones

[austere hawk]

So to get the player's time there is no other alternative?

Why doesn't it work with localtime

[sharp bloom]

what would u even use it for to get the localtime of a player :/

mby some players don't want their localtime to be shared

[junior musk]

because MC doesn't give the player's timezone information

the only way to get it is to check the player's IP location, and that requires some website to do so

and those websites require API keys which usually are paid

There is another way this would work, and that is to get the player's locale, the language they chose in their MC settings

though if I'm in France and I play MC in English US, I'd get the US's timezone so it's not really perfect🤷

[mint fable]

@austere hawk looks like you did all the steps, now just use the placeholder

[austere hawk]

How do I do that?

[mint fable]

did you add it to the javascript_placeholders.yml?

[thick steppe]

I am trying to add playtime feature to my SimpleScore scoreboard but when I add %playtime_player% it doesnt work. It says no download needed.

[junior musk]

when it says that it doesn't need to be downloaded, then it means the expansion is tied to a plugin that needs to be downloaded

usually, you can click on the name of the expansion on the wiki and it'll redirect you to the plugin page

[austere hawk]

so like this?

oh sry

[austere hawk]

also, is there a placeholder to show the size of the server (disk space)?

[quick thunder]

Guys I am trying to parse my variables to a placeholder

I added papi in my plugin and used this https://paste.md-5.net/ogojihahok.java

but when I use the placeholder chat it returns nothing

[junior musk]

what placeholder did you use?

[quick thunder]

I am using %kalanistilasure% for my long value

it will return a string

[junior musk]

the syntax is %identifier_params%

so you have to use %invasion_kalanistilasure%

[quick thunder]

Okey I see

still same I used this %invasion_kalanistilasure%

[junior musk]

/papi parse me %invasion_kalanistilasure%

what does it return?

[quick thunder]

it returns %invasion_kalanistilasure%

[junior musk]

check /papi list

did invasion register?

[quick thunder]

yeah registered it say invasion

[junior musk]

just checked your code again and it doesn't mention kalanistilasure anywhere

I see istilakalansure and savunmakalansure but no kalanistilasure

[quick thunder]

okey istilakalansure

thanks

[sharp bloom]

i try to use this placeholder: %aoneblock_rank% which returns the rank of a member in the island but it seems that it cant get parsed when the user is offline, i ve tried to parse it both with utils and parseother expansions but no luck :/ any other alternatives?

[junior musk]

if the placeholder doesn't work for offline players, then there's no other way 🤷

you try to ask the devs to make it work

[sharp bloom]

eh :/ ye i will

For a server im working on im using this plugin called realistic seasons and in order for me to change the location of the temperature shown i use placeholder api and it places the temperature on the actionbar by default where can i find the names of the places i can change the location to?

[mint fable]

placeholderapi only provides placeholders, it doesn't add anything to an actionbar

That will be another plugin you have

[gloomy mist]

what i want to do is make the thing display not on the action bar

like at the top right of my screen or sumthn

[mint fable]

Yes, you need to find which plugin is making that happen and look at the config

placeholderapi does not put it on the actionbar

[gloomy mist]

i believe its protocol lib because it made me download that to get the plugin to work

[mint fable]

realistic seasons is the plugin

[gloomy mist]

(im sorry for this trouble im really bad at anything involving code)

[mint fable]

https://wiki.realisticseasons.com/temperature/temperature-system#display

look here, it tells you how to change it

if you want it to show in your scoreboard, you will need a scoreboard plugin that supports placeholderapi

it looks like realistic seasons only has support for actionbar

[gloomy mist]

ive got titlemanager that ive downloaded a little while ago but hadnt set anything up on it yet

would i be able to use that?

[mint fable]

yes

[gloomy mist]

so how would i input the code so it shows in title manager?

[mint fable]

%rs_temperature% https://wiki.realisticseasons.com/interactions-with-other-plugins/soft-dependencies/placeholderapi#player-based-placeholders

[gloomy mist]

ooh okay

lines:

• '&b&m----------------------------------'
• '&b> &3&lPlayer Name:'
• '&b%{name}'
• '&r'
• %rs_temperature%
• '&b> &3&lPing:'
• '&b%{ping} MS'
• '&r&r'
• '&b> &3&lServer Time:'
• '&b%{server-time}'
• '&b&m----------------------------------&r'

would this be correct?

it turned - into bulleten points lol

or do i need to put the placeholder in between ' '

[mint fable]

you do

when I run /papi parse me %essentials_baltop_rank% it returns me 1 which is correct. however in the hologram of the npc it does not appear.

[shy nimbus]

Hello!

I'm wondering if the params of the placeholder hook (#onPlaceholderRequest()) have any limitations in what characters to use.

For example, could %abcplugin_{"abcdef"}.ef()% be a valid expression, and PAPI will pass {"abcdef"}.ef() as the plain text to the abcplugin? I could test it, and it might just work, but I want to make sure if that's the intended behavior.

[junior musk]

anything works aside from %

[shy nimbus]

Awesome thank you!

[austere hawk]

is there a placeholder to show the size of the server (disk space)?
is there a placeholder to show all the chunks that have ever been loaded in the server?

[solar swift]

placeholder
%premiumvanish_bungeeplayercount@<server>%

is dead, i trying get players from survival so after @survival but it displays only placeholder, what's wrong? There is no download for vanish ;//

[prisma sonnet]

Hey!

Will we be able to return Components in future with PAPI?

[sudden kindle]

How do I use Velocity placeholders to get things like player server player counts? I've installed PAPIProxyBridge, do I need to do anything else?

[delicate sluice]

So. I made the sweet mistake of deleting a pre setup placeholder config. And now I'm full on lost on what to do. I need to fix a few things, like %player_name% etc. But I don't know how to add them. And I already added essentials etc the extentions I perhaps needed. I'm newish to this, and there's not really many guides...

[junior musk]

I doubt they would, but can't say for sure, idk what the devs have planned

[junior musk]

that plugin was not made by the same devs as PlaceholderAPI, you'd need to ask its dev how it works

[junior musk]

I'm not sure what's the issue? Did you delete your PlaceholderAPI folder and are looking to redownload your expansions? if so, simply run /papi ecloud download <expansion>

[junior musk]

Does premiumvanish show in /papi list ? Does the placeholder work in /papi parse me <your placeholder here>

[junior musk]

I don't think there is for the server disk space, but there is for chunks: %server_total_chunks%

[delicate sluice]

I did so. The expansions are there. but none of what I need for things like my tab plugin or interactive chat are. example, %player_name% etcetera

[junior musk]

send the link you get from /papi dump

[delicate sluice]

https://paste.helpch.at/takirucate

[junior musk]

you didn't redownload it

/papi ecloud download Player
/papi reload

[delicate sluice]

oh! I see! That worked.

Also. I have interactivechat downloaded there. But it's not showing up.

for placeholders with papi. I mean.

[junior musk]

make sure it loaded correctly

uh, idk if it has any placeholders

and it doesn't even show up in the plugin list of the paste you sent

[delicate sluice]

It requires placeholder to use it. According to yt.

[junior musk]

yeah it requires the plugin, but doesn't add any

as far as I know

but since it doesn't even show up in the plugin list, it may have thrown an error when loading

check your server logs

oh it does have placeholders too 👀

but yeah, won't work if the plugin isn't loaded anyways

[delicate sluice]

It's not showing up. When I had put it under plugins, it didn't give me a config like the rest either.

Besides the point, since that's off topic. Thanks for the help with papi. I was pretty confused

[junior musk]

yeah as I said it may have failed to load because of some error

we can continue in #general-plugins if you want

[delicate sluice]

Yes please

[austere hawk]

That’s for the amount of chunks that’s currently loaded. I want a placeholder to o show the entire amount of chunks loaded ever

[junior musk]

uh, I thought it would return that since it's total

I don't think there is then

[delicate sluice]

temp. Back over here. Papi is still missing a few placeholders for tab. Things like %server_tps_1_colored% and %server_uptime% etc.

[junior musk]

did you download the server expansion?

/papi ecloud download server
/papi reload

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#server

[delicate sluice]

Ah! Working now!

This is definitely not going to be my last question, since there's a lot of confusing things here. But I think I'm getting the hang of it :)

[junior musk]

you have a list of most placeholder epansions available here, you can see that some are standalone and have to be downloaded (like the Server one), some are bound to a plugin and require that plugin to be installed, and there are others that may not be listed that are either integrated directly within plugins (usually their placeholders are listed on that plugin's wiki) or you can find other expansion on the PAPI eCloud https://api.extendedclip.com/all/

[solar swift]

yes in papi list show, in papi parse -null showing good count

[junior musk]

then the plugin where you're using the placeholder does not support PlaceholderAPI

[solar swift]

using tab

and on the tab there is problem

but only on survival

on the lobby all is good

[junior musk]

send a screenshot

?imgur

[solar swift]

from survival or lobb

[junior musk]

anywhere it doesn't work

[austere hawk]

how can i fix the %player% palceholder in a menu? (from deluxemenus)

its a lore

https://imgur.com/a/mknK4Dp

this

      - ''
      - '&e&l⚡ &8%player_name%&7: Hello'
      - ''
      - '&7&k.&f&lJ&4&lP&f&lN&7&k.&r &8%player_name%&7: Hello'
      - ""
      - '&7Left or Right Click to preview in chat!'
``` config

[fair parrot]

is there a placeholder for the servers entire balance/worth?

like the value at the top of /baltop within EssentialsX

[austere hawk]

and the second question is

why it shows purple

XD

[solar swift]

https://imgur.com/S9c45BO

https://imgur.com/a/XHmnaBI

First - lobby (working @survival placeholder)
Second - survival, not working

[junior musk]

do you use TAB on Bungee?

if yes, do you have the TAB-Bridge on all servers ?

[junior musk]

?player

[junior musk]

make sure you executed the commands

[austere hawk]

i fixed that

but the purple color...xd

[junior musk]

what's your DeluxeMenus version?

[austere hawk]

1.10.5 for 1.8 version

if i try other dont work

[junior musk]

downgrade PlaceholderAPI to 2.11.2

or use § instead of & in DM menus

[austere hawk]

ok

it work, thanks <3

Hello there!

I worried about how bad my solutions actually are from the optimization point of view.
I wrote a small plugin to help me organize some things I need, and surprisingly it works completely fine and solves my issues.

But to do so, I write a config file list of player names and display it via the holograms using PAPI.

I did it that way:
When using the add command:

1. get a List<String> values from the config file,
2. add that playername to that list
3. write that new list into the config file.

Same principle with the delete and the list commands.

So I have required list of players in the file.

Now, the placeholders and API:
To display that list, I just implemented this if in the onRequest() method in my plugin's class that extends PlaceholderExpansion.

# onRequest()
if(params.equalsIgnoreCase("list")) {

            File tournamentFile = new File(OmhmsMcPlugin.getInstance().getDataFolder(), "tournamentDatabase.yml");
            FileConfiguration tournamentConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(tournamentFile);
            String participants = String.valueOf(tournamentConfig.getStringList("tournament_participants"));

            return participants;
        }

You may notice that for each onRequest() I read the file to get a list of players.
So my question is: **how bad this is from the performance point of view? **

Thanks in advance!

[junior musk]

implement Taskable, override start() and retrieve the FileConfiguration from there and save it in a field

[hollow fox]

Uhm, could you give any.. examle? Please

#placeholder-api message

[solar swift]

no

on all servers

[junior musk]

then make sure PremiumVanish is on the servers where the placeholders don't work

[vivid sparrow]

@junior musk the repo of the item expansion is private?

[junior musk]

uh?

my bad

made it public

[vivid sparrow]

Aight

[austere hawk]

%math_0:_470/100% returns 5

Placeholder to remove the last two characters of a text

Example of 1278 return 12

[junior musk]

check the second substring placeholder of the String expansion

or you could use Math, divide by 100 and set decimals amount to 0

so the last 2 digits would become decimals and since you're showing 0 decimals then they won't be shown

[austere hawk]

How

[austere hawk]

That, what I want to do is divide a number by 100 and that the result does not have decimals

[junior musk]

then do that

[junior musk]

well you did already

what's the issue?

[austere hawk]

470÷100 without decimals is not 5

[junior musk]

oh

try math_0:half-down

[austere hawk]

470÷100 = 4.7 = 4

[austere hawk]

%math_0:half-down_470/100%?

[junior musk]

yeah

[austere hawk]

And what does half-down specifically do?

[junior musk]

round to the lower number

3/2 = 1.5
1 < 1.5 < 2
half-down < no rounding < half up

[austere hawk]

%math_0:half-down_{servervariables_value_exp}/100%

It's ok right?

[junior musk]

looks alright

try it and see

[austere hawk]

For the moment it works fine

[austere hawk]

They haven't fixed localtime yet?

[junior musk]

there's no "fix"

[austere hawk]

Oh

[junior musk]

there's no other way than the current way

[austere hawk]

Something like geolocation should work right?

Get address with IP and time

[junior musk]

that's exactly what the expansion is doing

but the geolocalisation is done through a website's api

and that website has a rate limit for non-subscribers

[solar swift]

yes i have on the survival because there is vanish scoreboard with count how many players are on the survival

[junior musk]

unsure why it doesn't work in TAB then

[solar swift]

idk I will make again vanish system but and again connected to the mysql all server

[austere hawk]

They could not use another website

In an issue is that with the test key it works, and you have to pay to get it, right?

[junior musk]

all websites are like that

if you find one that's fully free, please share

[austere hawk]

What is the one they use?

[junior musk]

ipapi.co

[austere hawk]

The geolocation website

[junior musk]

ipapi.co

[austere hawk]

?

[junior musk]

you need a key to make it work, yes

[austere hawk]

where is the subscription

[junior musk]

Pricing page

[austere hawk]

What they have to do with the IP is to obtain the timezone, right?

[austere hawk]

Essentials geoip no work?

[junior musk]

try it

it's the same thing

you'll see in its config that it requires a key as well

[austere hawk]

No

How much is the key here?

[junior musk]

Idk, ask them

[austere hawk]

I speak e PlaceholderAPI "here"

[junior musk]

uh?

you mean the localtime expansion?

I told you to check that ipapi.co website thing

there's a Pricing tab

[austere hawk]

Now but not that I have to have a test key? I buy it in ipapi.co?

[junior musk]

I have no idea

please let me be

I've already told you all I know

[austere hawk]

It is that they had told me that the test key was custom and I could ask in #1147713999694209104

By the way essentials geoip occupies a geo2lite key which is free

[junior musk]

I don't know 🤷

[austere hawk]

With essentialsx geoip I get the player location but the timezone

[junior musk]

I don't know 🤷

[austere hawk]

Can I get the timezone with the location?

[junior musk]

I don't know 🤷

[austere hawk]

[spring rune]

Currently I'm coding a plugin but I don't know how to display values related to that plugin in scoreboad. For example, when picking up an item, I don't know how to code it to show %count_pick_up% 😦

[junior musk]

%statistic_pickup%

though if you're making your own plugin with scoreboard, you can get the player's Statistic.PICKUP statistic

Hi. Good afternoon: I have a issue with the Pinger PAPI. Let me explain. I've configured the Pinger Papi but not refresh for a offline server

I see this discord in the official wiki

And i supose the community can solve my issue

Please help :/

[vivid sparrow]

Btw @junior musk if the expansion class implemente Listener, it is registered automatically https://github.com/Tanguygab/Item-Expansion/blob/f79413662889c46a554b37fc700c4dc779736bb8/src/main/java/io/github/tanguygab/craftexpansion/ItemExpansion.java#L140

[junior musk]

o

welp

guess I'll have to yeet that

[tender shore]

Hello, is there any expansion to get the player's uuid with a variable?

i found one that was called RandomID but it hasn't been updated since 1.13 and doesn't work now

or something to get the player's name but in lowercase only

[junior musk]

Player expansion, %player_uuid%

for the lowercase, you can try the String expansion combined with the Player expansion

%string_lowercase_{player_name}%

[dense trail]

      - "&fMember 0: %playerlist_ismembers_0% &7= &fMined Dirt: &e%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_{statistic_mine_block:dirt}%"
      - "&fMember 1: %playerlist_ismembers_1% &7= &fMined Dirt: &e%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_1]_{statistic_mine_block:dirt}%"

Why does this parse the amount of mined dirt with %%

e.g. user 0 of the island member list has 236 mined dirt it shows %236%

[mint fable]

umm

I think don't include the {}

@dense trail

the first placeholder doesn't need {}, only deeper-nested ones

[dense trail]

You have to elaborate on that one

I'm losing my mind with the nesting placeholders

[mint fable]

don't put {}

you're not really nesting anything

just parse it without the {} and see if it works

[dense trail]

Like this?

%utils_parse_math_0_%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_math_0_%statistic_mine_block:dirt%%%

[mint fable]

no

just remove the {}

the format is %utils_parseother:[]_<placeholder>%

<placeholder> being player_name

for example

not {player_name}

https://github.com/Tanguygab/Utils-PlaceholderAPI-Expansion#example

%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_1]_statistic_mine_block:dirt%

[mint fable]

When did you start using math in this?

this is a different placeholder entirely

[dense trail]

Ignore that one, ment this one
%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_{statistic_mine_block:dirt}%

[mint fable]

so confused on what is going on there

ok lol

[dense trail]

I have like 20 different of these...

[mint fable]

right...

[dense trail]

let me try the one u sent

yes... good finally.

[dense trail]

now how do I add two placeholder values with math?

e.g.

%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_statistic_mine_block:dirt%
+
%utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_1]_statistic_mine_block:dirt%

although I'll have to do that for 0 1 2 3 4

[mint fable]

%utils_parse_math_0:_{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}+{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_1]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}%

@dense trail

[dense trail]

<3 so much

%utils_parse_math_0:_{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_0]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}+{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_1]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}+{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_2]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}+{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_3]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}+{utils_parseother:[playerlist_ismembers_4]_statistic_mine_block:dirt}%

is it not possible to add more to it or is my placeholder incorrect?

[mint fable]

it looks right on the surface

are you testing by parsing it in chat?

it might be cut off

[dense trail]

Nope testing in GUI

can't send screenshots ffs

[dense trail]

1s

[mint fable]

did this work?

[dense trail]

Yup added 10 + 6 = 16

[mint fable]

any errors in console

[junior musk]

someone tried the exact same thing with Utils a few days ago and got an error

[mint fable]

do all 5 island members exist?

[dense trail]

[22:15:04 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected!
[22:15:04 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_0:_10+6+++%
[22:15:04 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '10+6+++' is not a valid Math expression.

[junior musk]

still didn't check but yeah

oh

[dense trail]

probably kris

[junior musk]

well that's not an issue with Utils then

[dense trail]

they do not

[mint fable]

looks like maybe the island members don't exist

that's why it's erroring

[junior musk]

yeah

that's more likely

[mint fable]

so

what you could do

hmm

[dense trail]

changeoutput for if it returns empty change it to 0

[junior musk]

changeoutput? lol

[mint fable]

changeoutput lol

[junior musk]

yeah xD

[dense trail]

not that i know how to xD

[mint fable]

i was thinking min

[dense trail]

I tried that before

and I gave up badly

[mint fable]

but min wouldn't work with no value
