#

what do you mean with that

#

it should be "" if null etc

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

you can't return value if loadUser is asynchronous

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

it is

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

is it async?

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

right

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

then you can't return value like that because loadUser is actually evaluated lazily

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

ah

#

but it shoulnd works instead of this?

#

with any error or null

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

i have no idea what you mean...

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

    @Override
    public String onPlaceholderRequest(Player player, String identifier) {
        if (player == null) {
            return "";
        }
        if (identifier.equalsIgnoreCase("ecoWezHajs")) {
            return String.valueOf(MyRegisteredUserDatabase.userCache.get(player.getUniqueId()).getBalance());
        }
        return "";
    }``` i will changed it

mceconomy

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

austere hawk oh it's not myeconomy but mceconomy xd

xD

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

nice

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

yes

#

i cant use brain after 10h coding

austere hawk Apr 22, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

but i assume data is fetched from database?

#

if you fetch data from remote database like that, people can abuse placeholder to lag server

#

you can cache player's balance in ConcurrentHashMap and then returns value

#

if you only use local database that shouldn't be a problem though

quick zealot Apr 22, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

im getting data from hashmap

#

now

#

yes local

Hello!
Is it possible to edit the format of %player_first_join_date%?

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 9:39 AM

#

not exactly. you can either edit the expansion itself (the code) or you can use something like the javascript expansion and manually change it. again both require some coding knowledge. either java or javascript

jaunty stag Apr 23, 2022, 9:40 AM

#

Ah!
It seemed to me that at one point you could directly edit the format from the config.yml :/
I may be wrong after x)

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 9:46 AM

#

ok I was wrong @jaunty stag. you can actually edit it from plugins/PlaceholderAPI/config.yml

#

it will edit a lot of other placeholders that have date format as output

#

but it works

#

the option should be called just date_format:

jaunty stag Apr 23, 2022, 9:47 AM

#

i don't see anything for that, that's why i asked x)

https://prnt.sc/ejEQe_X_lyCI

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 9:48 AM

#

try adding it yourself. the default is date_format: "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss" I believe. it should be at the same level as expansion:

jaunty stag Apr 23, 2022, 9:48 AM

#

Version of Player expansion:

https://prnt.sc/-2ssB5UU_9Nj

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 9:49 AM

#

its not going to be under the player expansion

#

its a global setting that all expansions can use

jaunty stag Apr 23, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

expansions:
  date_format: "dd/MM/yy"

Correct?

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

no

#

date_format: "dd/MM/yy"

Hey all
/papi parse me %statistic_craft_item:potion% gives me an answer; 0 but it is incorrect.
/papi parse me %statistic_use_item:potion% gives me an answer; and it is correct.
Anyone have an idea how to display how many potions have been crafted/brewed? I've read back in history a bit and seem to see that Spigot may not keep track of specific potion types, but would have expected the craft_item:potion to have worked.

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 10:50 AM

#

I think craft is only meant for actually crafting. not brewing. and not sure that's really spigot but rather minecraft not keeping track.

modest leaf Apr 23, 2022, 10:50 AM

#

I was thinking the same. Darn.

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 10:50 AM

#

there's a statistic that keeps track how many times you interacted with a brewing stand. but not necesarely making a potion

modest leaf Apr 23, 2022, 10:51 AM

#

Yup, I've played with that also. %statistic_brewingstand_interaction%

#

Thanks Blitz.

modest leaf Apr 23, 2022, 11:08 AM

#

If there is a papi statistic listed, such as %statistic_treasure_fished%, which no longer appears in the paper doc, whom might I take that up with either to get it back or to get it removed?

tropic wadi Apr 23, 2022, 12:33 PM

hi what r the placeholders for number of deaths by a players and kills

turbid tide Apr 23, 2022, 12:34 PM

#

you can't get deaths by just players but you can get number of players someone killed

#

%statistic_player_kills%

#

and there's %statistic_deaths% but it will show all deaths

violet vector Apr 23, 2022, 12:48 PM

the plugin itself will work from 1.8.8 to 1.18.2

#

now if the expansions don't work that's another story

bleak viper Apr 25, 2022, 6:03 PM

Then it must be the other plugin the one which has the problem

tender vaporBOT Apr 25, 2022, 6:04 PM

turbid tide Apr 25, 2022, 6:04 PM

also have you downloaded the expansions you actually want to use in animated scoreboard?

bleak viper Apr 25, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

I already solved the problem. I didn't know I had to install the Placeholder pack

#

Thanks!

#

I didn't know about that because other plugins include their own placeholders, so I hadn't had to use this plugin

turbid tide Apr 25, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

yeah. PlaceholderAPI Is a bit different. its meant to be a bridge between plugins

#

so other plugins make their own expansions/packs and then those can be used in plugins that support PlaceholderAPI

even after you restart?

it does show i meant it didn't change my scoreboard to another one so i must be viewing the admin one

well then the problem is not the placeholder my friend. it clearly works from what you;ve seen in /papi parse. its either that the npc/hologram plugin you;re using is not working or you didn't set it up

it's reliable

#

just not the most ideal storage option of stats like this

#

having a custom plugin, or something like playerstats, would provide more benefit of how you could use it

#

you could use something like topper though to create a leaderboard from the meta value

#

which could be nice if you wanted

hollow crater Apr 28, 2022, 3:39 AM

mint fable Apr 28, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

ya, it's 100% fine to use

#

it's just player meta

#

deluxemenus also provides placeholders/actions for it

#

so basically the data itself gets stored to the player's .dat file

#

inaccessible when the user is offline

#

probably the only downside

its not on 1.12.2, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2

so someone either listed it by accident, or it used to be a placeholder and it got removed but they didn't unlist it at the time

balmy marten Apr 29, 2022, 11:25 AM

It can be safely ignored, if it really bothers you can add each plugin to placeholderapi's plugin.yml as a soft depend

frigid grail where do i see the plugin.yml

you have to open the PAPI jar and edit the file inside there.

its not really something you'd want to do. if you do, you'll have to change it every time there's an update in PAPI.

Heyo, I've come to ask a question xD
I've got a lil system going here where a plugin modifies luckperms meta in a numerical matter, aka setting kills+1 on each kill. Now I'd like to see if there is some type of leaderboard expansion that can output to me the playername of whoever has the highest value on that meta which would be %luckperms_meta_kills%. Any ideas, leads?

tawny sun Apr 30, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

%math_{mmocore_profession_mining}/5%

#

is this not the correct format anymore for using math with another placeholder?

the mmocore_profession_mining is an mmocore placeholder

#

that placeholder is valid when used by itself

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 2:13 AM

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

naive sun First time using placeholderapi. where can I find a list of expansion?

a long list can be found here https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/placeholders but many placeholders are just not listed there. they're listed usually on their plugin's spigot or whatever other website they use page.

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 1:49 PM

#

austere hawk yeah its not, try doing `%math_0:1_...%`

well not exactly. %math_{mmocore_profession_mining}/5% should be still valid. the 0:1 options in there are not required. they just specify the decimal amount and the rounding type. they have default values you can set in config.yml.

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 1:50 PM

first of all test the placeholder using the papi parse command: /papi parse me %bungee_Bedwars% if it returns the correct value then the problem is most likely your hologram plugin. Holographic Extension uses a different format. I believe it would be {papi:bungee_Bedwars}

this is the erorr I'm getting nonetheless

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:04 PM

tawny sun https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/kinenenemu.md

it seems like the {mmocore_profession_mining} placeholder returns Error instead of a number when used in the math expansion.

tawny sun May 1, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

yeah

#

which is very odd

#

ig mmocore is doing that

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

yeah. where are you using the placeholder?

#

is it a scoreboard? or what?

tawny sun May 1, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

mmocore gui

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

what if you put like %player_name% in the same place you put the math placeholder

#

what does that show?

tawny sun May 1, 2022, 5:07 PM

#

works, shows my name

#

the problem seems to be that the plugin I'm using uses {} brackets for their own placeholders

#

is there any way I can get around using those brackets with math?

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

ah Ic.

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

tawny sun is there any way I can get around using those brackets with math?

not really

tawny sun May 1, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

also how do I round up with math?

#

nvm I don't want to round up

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

tawny sun the problem seems to be that the plugin I'm using uses {} brackets for their own...

yeah. just checked the code. they replace it with Error. this seems like a problem on their part that they should fix. instead of showing Error, they should leave the text as it was.

#

https://git.lumine.io/mythiccraft/mmocore/-/blob/master/src/main/java/net/Indyuce/mmocore/gui/api/item/Placeholders.java#L24

tawny sun May 1, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

yeah makes sense. Thank you

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

tawny sun also how do I round up with math?

%math_[precision]:[rounding]_<expression>%

#

%math_0:ceiling_2.5 + 3.2% for example should return 6

#

the 0 before : means 0 decimals

#

and ceiling means it will round up the result

#

so 5.7 will round up to 6

#

here's all the rounding options https://github.com/Andre601/Math-Expansion/wiki/Config-options#rounding

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 7:18 PM

@austere hawk so I've looked at the expansion and there's a few changes that you need to make before I'll verify it.

You should include groovy directly into the expansion.
You should make it just an expansion. Not a plugin. The ecloud is specifically made for expansions that will directly download into the plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions directory.

ping me after you make this changes and update them on the ecloud and I'll verify.

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 7:19 PM

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 7:20 PM

#

austere hawk Yoo hello If there is another plug-in Am I allowed to make a placeholder for it ...

yeah. at least as far as I'm aware. unless the plugin's developer specifically states otherwise I guess.

Okay

Thank you

~~now I just need to learn how to~~

The plug-in itself has placeholders
But I want to use them in other plug-ins hence want to make a papi one

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 7:21 PM

#

well if the plugin has an API, it might be fairly easy to make a PAPI expansion for that plugin

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

I wonder if the groopi expansion performs any better (or worse) than the JS one? 🤔

#

It feels like it allows for a lot more but at the same time its kind of limited since it doesn't read from files

#

so you're just stuck writing code between the two % which sounds super annoying

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

yeah that will be annoying if you end up writing a lot of code

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

Yeah but it seems really nice for simple stuff since you can access stuff from other classes more easily as well it seems

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

with the nashorn engine you can also access other class iirc. with just 1 line of code.

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

Yeah but how well does it perform? Last time I used JS for anything that wasn't a really small placeholder it messed up the ticks big time

#

though looking at this I don't think you can actually declare variables or any of that

turbid tide May 1, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

I mean its groovy. you should be able to declare variables

#

you'll have to test the performance yourself

austere hawk May 1, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

turbid tide I mean its groovy. you should be able to declare variables

from the examples in there it seems to only have one statement, so I'm not too sure

austere hawk Sure. Is everything fine after fixing that?

there's also a few mentions that gaby made above. Might want to check those out. I'll have to check with the admins to make sure that having a plugin-expansion on the ecloud is alright.

vivid sparrow <@456226577798135808> <https://github.com/ShimadaJP/Groopi/blob/master/src/main/...

Calling GroovyShell by reflection is necessary because I had to download groovy jar file and load that using URLClassLoader to reduce file size(eCloud has file size limit). Calling methods of classes in another class loader is not possible without reflection.

Also, caching Method/Field/Class objects doesn't harm performance that much. I can cache if I wanted, though. Groovy caches some data in their own, so performance shouldn't be a big problem anyway.

If you say so.

Also, whats the purpose of the plugin part?

I should use a perma link next time, this was pointing to the star import of org.bukkit

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:14 AM

#

vivid sparrow I should use a perma link next time, this was pointing to the star import of org...

I feel like its just there for convenience?

#

Instead of having to type org.bukkit.x to get to a class in your script, you can just use it directly.

#

Which I guess shortens the length by a little

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:15 AM

#

I doubt people use classes that much though

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:15 AM

#

JavaScript expansion doesn't work in some environments and Groovy is mucher easier and readable

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:16 AM

#

Yeah but why can it not be just an expansion?

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:17 AM

#

I think he misread lol

#

What's wrong with being a plugin?
I just made as a plugin and an expansion and I didn't remove the plugin part simply because it doesn't have to be removed?

#

It doesn't have to exist in the first place haha

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:19 AM

#

Well, I dont have a problem with it being a plugin if you have a reason to do so.

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:20 AM

#

There's totally 0 reason to have the plugin part. I made as an plugin in the first place because it would make debugging easier and I have made a plugin loader which loads groovy script as a plugin before

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:20 AM

#

Why would someone download it from the ecloud and use it as a plugin, when expansions can be changed in a matter of seconds, unlike plugins which require a server restart?

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:21 AM

#

I mean if it brings security concerns or anything I will remove the plugin part

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:21 AM

#

It does not, but it also makes no sense to be a plugin, when all it does is to call #register() onEnable

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:22 AM

#

I place the plugin symlink in plugins directory and every time I build I simply do /reload confirm to reload the expansion

#

That's how I debug

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:23 AM

#

No, that causes problems. You literally put it on the expansions folder and run /papi reload

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:23 AM

#

You can do that with expansions too yeah

#

Its safer with /papi reload

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

#

Dont get me wrong, I'm glad that someone made an alternative for the JS expansion, I just want to sort some things out before releasing it.

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

#

I know reload could cause problems, but I just wanted to debug so that would be fine. Also, I knew /papi reload works too. That's just my preferred way

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

gives me Skript vibes lmao

#

at least Groovy is kind of a real language

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

#

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

#

Right, then remove the plugin part if it has no use.

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:24 AM

#

sure

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

Groovy is a pretty small portion of JVM language usage

#

at least iirc

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

errant iron at least Groovy is kind of a real language

I like Groovy more than Kotlin

#

It's more Java friendly

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

wtf lol

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

No is not 🤣

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

you can directly convert Java to Kotlin quite easily

#

Groovy is a scripting language essentially

#

and thank god Gradle has kts lmao

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

Also, have you done some tests to see how well it performs?

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:25 AM

#

there are more features in Kotlin that can't be used in Java language for example: delegate, lambda with receiver, refined/inline, abstract property...

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:26 AM

vivid sparrow Also, have you done some tests to see how well it performs?

^^^ this is what I mainly want to know about

so it adds good things to the JVM?

#

what's your point lmao

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:26 AM

#

Smh Star

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:26 AM

#

Groovy takes things away, it is quite literally a DSL for scripting

#

so in this case, probably a good thing

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:26 AM

#

You can't mix Java and Kotlin. In other words, You can't use code written in Kotlin in Java

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

you can't use code written in Groovy in Java???

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

you can

#

Groovy property automatically generates getters and setters

#

just like lombok

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

oh dear god

#

that was the worst comparison you could've made

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

Ooookkkkk

#

Back to my question

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

vivid sparrow Also, have you done some tests to see how well it performs?

.

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

and anyways, if Groovy and Java are sooo similar, why not just learn Java and make a plugin lmao

#

probably much better performance

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:28 AM

#

vivid sparrow .

It just works "fine" but I don't know how much performance you would expect

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:28 AM

#

🥴

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:29 AM

#

let me do more performance tests and remove plugin part

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:29 AM

#

Try to do a benchmark with your current setup, reflections on each onRequest

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:29 AM

#

Sure

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:29 AM

#

does this work on latest? reflections are heavily limited as of Java 16

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:30 AM

#

errant iron and anyways, if Groovy and Java are *sooo* similar, why not just learn Java and ...

Plugin users might want to modify String in Java code and if the plugin was written in Groovy plugin users can modify them

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:30 AM

#

errant iron and anyways, if Groovy and Java are *sooo* similar, why not just learn Java and ...

I feel like its kind of convenient if you already happen to know Java/Groovy and need to do something funkier than usual with placeholders.

#

I feel groovy is a "better version" of skript

#

You probably might want to add file support for it tbh, writing everything between % % is not fun

#

file support?

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

I suppose it can have its uses

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

Hold on, it doesnt have file support?

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

nope lol

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

Welp

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

In my experience at least, I have not needed much complicated placeholder parsing and stuff

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:31 AM

#

yeah like the same way you'd do with the JS expansion. You basically have the script in a file and the expansion would read from that file

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:32 AM

What exactly in "a gamemode"?

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:33 AM

No no no its just for the GUI part of it

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:34 AM

It depends from person to person, some like to even use it for prefixes. A switch/case for %vault_rank%

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:34 AM

#

what the fuck lol

#

%luckperms_prefix% literally exists

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:35 AM

The most common use case imo is to change the output of a placeholder

This is the most common one I saw yeah.

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:35 AM

well yeah, but we have expansions for that already

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:35 AM

Yeah but if the placeholder has multiple outputs, it doesnt work

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:36 AM

#

multiple outputs?

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:36 AM

#

Tbh id rather use %javascript_name% than %changeoutout_equals...%

dunno, maybe I'm just too much of a big boy java developer

but I've never had to abuse placeholders like people love to do so much lol

vivid sparrow May 2, 2022, 8:37 AM

I dont use the expansion, but I used to, and it was handy

I agree, some go over the limit

Basically it was just one GUI and the name of each item was like %lvl_levelAtSlot_1...9%, and it would calculate the level's actual value depending on your page number. The most intensive part is that the colors of the level were a gradient from green to red, which had to be calculated like 9 times every time you flipped a page (for each item)

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:43 AM

oh yeah my middle school and high school had quarters

so like 4 semesters kinda

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:44 AM

We will have a better api at some point

#

I hope

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:46 AM

Yeah those should be used very very scarcely.

#

I guess it depends on how big those 5 mobs were though

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:46 AM

very small skeletons

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:46 AM

#

Since it renders more armorstands or whatever for each bone

#

oh

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:46 AM

#

yeah pretty rough

#

and that's why we're splitting the server into smaller instances!

#

and having dedicated dungeon instances with ModelEngine stuff and like a 6 player cap

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:48 AM

#

Yeah that's probably the only way to do it at a large scale. has there been any movement lately in the instance splitting tech or are you guys making something from scratch?

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

but we're rolling our own thing that just synchronizes player data between servers using a Go service and RabbitMQ

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

Ooh, fancy

errant iron May 2, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

much faster than the first attempt which was a Python service and RabbitMQ lmao

#

multiple seconds between server jumps with that one

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 8:51 AM

#

Oh wow MultiPaper came a long way since I last saw it

austere hawk May 2, 2022, 9:08 AM

#

I did some performance testing.
I placed 300 command blocks that parses the placeholder below every tick

%groopi_ Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Hello, world") %

During all the command block activated, the server had 7 TPS - parsing 300 placeholders took 22ms every tick, meaning that parsing a placeholder takes 0.07 milliseconds.

https://res.cloudinary.com/dmyl8bcix/image/upload/v1651481951/profile_i4nasq.png

This is the profiler view. As you can see in this view, 95% of the execution time is consumed by generating classes with ASM bytecode modification used by Groovy runtime, and 3% is consumed by Constructor#newInstance. At this point, we can ignore reflection overhead.

To prevent generating classes, I have to cache all generated classes in some way. I could use GroovyClassLoader for that purpose, though don't want to implement class caching mechanism by myself. I might implement class caching mechanism in the future.

#

Also, this expansion works in java17 (I tested in java17)

#

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

#

I'm gonna try implementing class caching mechanism

Uhh these reflection

Which version is for 1.7.10?

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 9:28 PM

#

naive sun Which version is for 1.7.10?

ugh. which version of PAPI? then I believe official support for 1.7.10 was dropped in PAPI 2.10.10. you might still be able to run PAPI latest on 1.7.10 but for a guaranteed working experience then I guess version 2.10.9

#

or something like that

hybrid socket May 2, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

turbid tide https://github.com/Altruiis/skript-expansion/releases/

so i just add this to plugin folder and then how do I use the placeholder?

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

not the plugins folder

#

the expansions folder

#

you can see here how to use it https://github.com/Altruiis/skript-expansion/#skript-expansion

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

did you get any errors or anything?

hybrid socket May 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

turbid tide the expansions folder

do i need to restart server or can i just reload papi?

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

papi reload should be enough

hybrid socket May 2, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

turbid tide papi reload should be enough

how do I know if it added or not

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

you can test it. or you can do /papi dump and look at the logs to see if its registered or not

hybrid socket May 2, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

it not on there

#

do i restart server?

turbid tide May 2, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

you can try. but are you sure you've placed the expansion in the correct folder?

How can I change the timezone used by server_time_...?

worldly fjord May 3, 2022, 3:32 AM

sage mason `How can I change the timezone used by server_time_...?`

iirc, it depends on the machine you are hosting

sage mason May 3, 2022, 4:42 AM

#

OH

austere hawk May 3, 2022, 11:50 AM

#

Hey is it posibble to use placeholderapi plugin on bungeecord server?

carmine veldt May 3, 2022, 11:50 AM

#

no

austere hawk May 3, 2022, 11:51 AM

#

hmm how can I get bungee_total players in motd plugin

#

without placeholders

carmine veldt May 3, 2022, 11:54 AM

#

if your motd plugin is a bungeecord plugin you'll need to use whatever placeholders are provided by that plugin

austere hawk May 3, 2022, 11:57 AM

#

ok undewrstand

#

thanks

cyan canopy May 3, 2022, 4:11 PM

#

If anyone here is using MyCommand... Is there an option to script a bit with a PAPI placeholder? And if there is, could you please share a example? 🥺

turbid tide May 3, 2022, 4:12 PM

#

you should be able to just use placeholders like normal in your commands

#

so %player_name% for example

acoustic mirage May 3, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

whats the placeholder for deluxemenus to open a gui?

turbid tide May 3, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

placeholder?

#

you mean command?

acoustic mirage May 3, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

material: barrier
name: '%translations-cancel%'
action: BACK

#

thats the current back button

turbid tide May 3, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

ugh. action: BACK is not a deluxemenus thing tho

#

there is no internal placeholder showing you what the last menu is either

#

nor external for that matter

acoustic mirage May 3, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

this is from a shops plugin i just need it to open a specific gui from Deluxe menus

turbid tide May 3, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

there is no back action in deluxemenus and there is no way to tell what the menu you're coming from is.

#

you can open other menus from inside a menu but you just have no real way to tell what the menu they last opened was

acoustic mirage May 3, 2022, 7:00 PM

#

ah sorry ill figure it out it might be the other pl messing up

cyan canopy May 3, 2022, 7:19 PM

#

turbid tide so `%player_name%` for example
