[stark shard]

Hello

[gilded lantern]

I have a question about a api expansion called parseother

[stark shard]

Okay

[gilded lantern]

i run into an issues and dont know how to solve it or maybe if its on my site be able to fix it?

[stark shard]

Parse other allows you to parse placeholders for other players

[gilded lantern]

i know

but the problem now is

when i am onlone and i parse a placeholder about me all is fine

when i use this placehodler outside too

but when i wehnt offline

the placehodler seems to turn back nothing

[stark shard]

The placeholder that u are fetching from an offline player cant fetch data from offline players most likely

Which placeholder is it?

From what plugin?

Some plugins cant fetch data from offline players unfortunately

[turbid tide]

your answer is long, confusing and unnecessary. I understand you need xp but still

What Convace means to say is that some placeholders work for online players, some work for offline players as well some work even without a player required.

The most likely problem here is that the placeholder you're parsing for the other user %parseother_{user}_{OTHER-PLACEHOLDER}% so in this case OTHER-PLACEHOLDER might only work for online players. and since user is offline that's why it breaks or rather just returns an empty string.

[stark shard]

Thats what i said

[stark shard]

I didnt say it cuz exp. Im on phone so i type shorter lmao

[gilded lantern]

i tried parseother the placeholder of a player that is offline.. but i just get a result of "nothing" when the player wents online i get the reight result..

i tried this from cosnole papi parse Cloude_Lecaw %parseother_{Cloude_Lecaw}_{cmi_user_meta_angeleventgewinnerplatz3uuid}% i used it two times

first time i was online

secound time not

wel in result on first try i got the right entry from the placeholder

and when i was offline the result was blank

so it looks like parseother placeholder itself just feedsbacks a blank result whenyour offline..?

[mint fable]

it's not parseother at all

as blitz said, it's cmi

the cmi placeholder does not work for offline players

it's accessing the player's actual nbt data, which is only loaded when they're online

[turbid tide]

if you try to parse %cmi_user_meta_angeleventgewinnerplatz3uuid% when you're offline it probably won't work either

[gilded lantern]

hm i see so i should ask cmi?

[mint fable]

no

[turbid tide]

[mint fable]

it's not going to be something you can do

[turbid tide]

its not really a lot you can do

[mint fable]

You'll need another plugin that can store/access data regardless of the player's online state

Now, you could use the javascript expansion and give that a try if you wanted

[gilded lantern]

you mean write a java script?

[mint fable]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Advanced-Scripts#storing-data

yes

[turbid tide]

but that one's pretty buggy so I wouldn't really recommend that one either

[mint fable]

yep, kind of yikes

[gilded lantern]

na its to much for a normal user to ask to learn javascript now

[mint fable]

😂

[turbid tide]

you don't have to

the code is already written

you just have to set it up by following the instructions at the link above

[gilded lantern]

i just need to find the file right?^^

[turbid tide]

but as I've mentioned it is pretty buggy. sometimes store data just resets,

sometimes it returns wrong values

[gilded lantern]

hm

[turbid tide]

it gives you step by step instructions on how to set it up.

[mint fable]

ooh

@gilded lantern is the meta value a number?

[gilded lantern]

hm no

[mint fable]

damn

[gilded lantern]

sometime a uuid

sometimes a name

[mint fable]

I had the thought of using Topper to cache the values

(leaderboard plugin for placeholders)

but obv it only works for numbers... as it is a leaderboard plugin

saj

[gloomy phoenix]

does anybody have the answer to this?

I can't figure out any other way to type \uE000 as it's a private use character

I'm trying to use it to make custom icons and things for chat

[mint fable]

what is \uE000

woah wtf

[gloomy phoenix]

it's a private use character that is safe to replace

[mint fable]

you just called back to last year

I hope you didn't ping that man 😬

[gloomy phoenix]

no I didn't don't worry lol

they're also not in the server anymore it seems

[mint fable]

is it an actual symbol or just a random unicode

[gloomy phoenix]

hard to answer, it's kinda like a blank symbol to be used for whatever you need

[mint fable]

ye, just a random unicode

[gloomy phoenix]

it doesn't actually exist normally until you replace it

but for minecraft, you can replace it with a resource pack and stuff

[mint fable]

ye ye

[gloomy phoenix]

normally you can just use json text for vanilla minecraft stuff as it will replace the unicode

but plugins... no likey

it would be nice if there was a unicode expansion for this, I know there's one for ASCII but obviously that doesn't go above 127

something like %unicode_E000%

[mint fable]

maybe I'll make one

[gloomy phoenix]

that would be really nice

[turbid tide]

You could just copy paste it tho

There's websites that let you do rhat

[mint fable]

ya but it's a pain

[turbid tide]

I had one but I can't find it anymore

[mint fable]

if you have a bunch of textures

https://unicodelookup.com/

that's the only reason I'm down to make it

[turbid tide]

How would an expansion save you time tho? Or anything

[mint fable]

cause I found the same thing annoying

🤷‍♂️

I used fake symbols

so if I copy/paste they all look the same

like that box

so I can't tell which is which

[turbid tide]

Ic

[mint fable]

it's niche

[turbid tide]

👍

[mint fable]

ascii only exists so people can use % 😂

well I think it works @gloomy phoenix

[gloomy phoenix]

well that was quick

[mint fable]

i gotta restart my system for my pc to show unicode in console though, wasn't actually able to check if it's the correct unicode

ig i could check with something other than a box... but i'm already ready to restart 😂

%unicode_E000%

[mint fable]

1 line

[gloomy phoenix]

hahaha

works amazing

[gilded lantern]

What does the Unicode Expansion does?

[austere hawk]

just gives a way to type unicode characters through placeholders

[mint fable]

it just allows you to type the hex value vs having to go find the character, copy it, then paste it

[austere hawk]

%unicode_<code>% would return the appropriate unicode character

yea

[mint fable]

basically if you know your resource hex value is ||0x||E050, then you can use it very easily in menus when configuring

[gilded lantern]

oh nice that sounds very usefull

[austere hawk]

for the resourcepack people yeah lol

[mint fable]

vs going to a website or something and typing in ||0x||E050

ye, pretty useful

and the most simple

[gilded lantern]

so i canprinzout things like Ⓤ with it?

[mint fable]

yep that hex value is 24CA

you can also copy that character now that you have it though

[gilded lantern]

oh so if i have and know the character allready then i might not need it?

ok

[mint fable]

yes

it's a niche thing

[gilded lantern]

but still good to know it does exist 😄

[mint fable]

like let me send you my chess title

&f七七七七七七七󃕩七七七七七󃕤

I have absolutely no idea what any of those boxes are

I know what the symbols are, it's just spacing

but the boxes I got no clue

obviously when I made it I knew and I could take some guesses

but something like an ATM

🤔

[compact wharf]

is there a placeholder to show the total amount of players on a specific server?

thanks lol

[turbid tide]

the bungee expansion

[compact wharf]

is there a placeholder to show if a server is online but to show for example (status - Online/Offline)?

[turbid tide]

there's the pinger expansion but there's been many reports saying its broken.

[compact wharf]

ah thanks

[radiant orbit]

hi is there a way to get the amount of armor the player has in papi?

i've tried all the modules related to armor and player and they just return confusing values

for example %player_armor_boots_data% gives 163 for my boots and same value for every other armor piece im wearing

oh ok so i figured out it's damage that the armor piece has taken

is there a way for me to get the actual value of the armor bar?

[austere hawk]

who to fix

i cant post a photo

[austere hawk]

https://imgur.com/a/nfNANgH

[turbid tide]

ugh. update essentialsx

or if you don't have the essentialsx plugin at all delete the essentialsx expansion

[austere hawk]

i have the last version of essentials

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi dump and send the generated link here?

[austere hawk]

Ok

https://paste.helpch.at/ugehetusib

[turbid tide]

you have 2 essentials expansions installed in your expansions folder. remove them both, execute a /papi reload, and redownload using /papi ecloud download essentials then /papi reload. https://i.imgur.com/P5taA5r.png

[austere hawk]

oh

[turbid tide]

also what the hell is version TeamCity?

Essentials [Version: TeamCity]

[austere hawk]

i dont know

i downloaded from the essentials page

no worked

[turbid tide]

can you restart and send a new papi dump?

[austere hawk]

Ok

[austere hawk]

https://paste.helpch.at/cozodiboba

[turbid tide]

can you send a startup log?

[turbid tide]

also please make sure you have the correct essentials by redownloading

https://essentialsx.net/downloads.html

[arctic laurel]

Why does the papi detect my core, but it doesnt actually detect it, whenever i reload papi one of them dissapear, and the other is there, but doesnt work

[austere hawk]

I cant upload archives

[turbid tide]

that's why you use a paste service

[turbid tide]

the persist method

look at the wiki

[arctic laurel]

btw, papi supports 1.7.10 right?

[turbid tide]

not anymore

[arctic laurel]

bc i have it in my server rn, and it works

[turbid tide]

well it might work

[arctic laurel]

can i like download a older version of papi and it works then?

[turbid tide]

but we don't actively support it

[turbid tide]

well I mean papi might still work just fine. but you can. the latest version that supported it was like 2.10.9 or something like that

[arctic laurel]

okay, i can't find the thing u said on the wiki

persist

Nothing called that in the wiki

[turbid tide]

read this part https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#with-a-plugin-internal-class

there's a persist method mentioned

[arctic laurel]

okay

i'll go trough it

[arctic laurel]

public class SomeExpansion extends PlaceholderExpansion {
private final SomePlugin plugin; // The instance is created in the constructor and won't be modified, so it can be final

public SomeExpansion(SomePlugin plugin) {
    this.plugin = plugin;
}

}
so i just put this in the papi config? and change it out with the names of the plugin?

I am not that good with understanding, cuz english is not main language

[turbid tide]

no no

lower

there is a method/function called persist1

persist*

[arctic laurel]

idk, if i am stupid or something, but i can't seem to find persist1

the thing called "full example"?

[arctic laurel]

oh yeah, that i found

@Override
public boolean persist() {
return true; // This is required or else PlaceholderAPI will unregister the Expansion on reload
}

[turbid tide]

you have to add that

[arctic laurel]

in the config right?

[turbid tide]

no. in your placeholder class

[arctic laurel]

and where is that located?

[turbid tide]

wait I'm a bit confused.

are you making the core? like are you developing it?

or is this a plugin you just downloaded from somewhere?

[arctic laurel]

it's called aquacore

i bought it for like 40 usd or something

[turbid tide]

ohh. I thought you're actually developing it.

you'll have to contact the developer of the plugin

[arctic laurel]

nah bro, that too complicated for me

[turbid tide]

and tell them about your issue

[arctic laurel]

it registers, but whenever i reload it gets removed

and none of the placeholders will show on 1.7.10

even the ones i downloaded from ecloud

[turbid tide]

yeah. well that's up to the expansions/plugins to make sure they work on 1.7.10

[turbid tide]

contact the developer of that plugin, tell them what the problem is and give them this link. https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#with-a-plugin-internal-class
GitHub

[arctic laurel]

okay, thank u

[thorny fable]

Hello, I have problem with placeholder to one plugin - Ultimate Stats (uStats) i can't found placeholder to this.

Can someone help mi with that?

[nocturne sphinx]

hello! i have a problem with papi plugin. placeholders "%player_ping%, %player_displayname% dosnt works. I download essentials from papi cloud but still dosnt works. Sorry for my english ;/

%player_ping% also

i mean "extensions"

[nocturne sphinx]

love u Barry!

I have a problem with placeholders %rank%, %deaths%, %nick%

this placeholders dosnt works

[silver minnow]

wont be in like 30 seconds

dont ghost ping

plz

[nocturne sphinx]

can you do this again?

idk how to use this bot 😄

[silver minnow]

all papi placeholders are formatted: %identifier_value%
so for ex %player_deaths% (doesn't exist, but it's just an example)

[nocturne sphinx]

sorry bro

[silver minnow]

i dont know what the actual placeholders are though

[silver minnow]

well in that case it was a common question so it was just ?player

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silver minnow]

%player_displayname% might work for nick

and maybe some luckperms or vault placeholder for rank

and now i gtg

good luck 👍

[nocturne sphinx]

thanks

big ❤️ for you

[thorny fable]

?

[turbid tide]

Look at the statistic expansion. It has deaths and kills

[nocturne sphinx]

wait i check this

[turbid tide]

If the placeholders are not listed on our wiki then they most likely are on the plugin's spigot page or wiki. Otherwise ask the developer of that plugin

[nocturne sphinx]

player_deaths still dosnt works 😦

for other %statisic_deaths% works 🙂 sorry for spam 😄

[undone path]

whats the placeholders for deluxetags

{deluxe_tags} doesn't work

[stark shard]

wym by that?

you mean what to put for ur chat plugin prefix?

[stark shard]

Works for essentials chat only I believe

[undone path]

Hmmm thats weird

[stark shard]

You can try %deluxetags_tag% to place

I can't remember if you need to parse deluxetags

assume you would need to if you are gonna use that placeholder outside DM

can you try doing /papi parse me %deluxetags_tag% ?

What does it output?

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

[zenith zealot]

is there like a death location tracker

[turbid tide]

this is not needed anymore. it has been unverified. if you do install this expansion with the latest version of deluxetags it will just break.

[turbid tide]

you would need an extra plugin for this. I know DeluxeCombat has a functionality for that iirc but the plugin has way more functionalities than just death location

[zenith zealot]

interesting

okay i found one but do i need to download with the ecloud thing

or do i only need to download the plugin

oh nvm

i did it, it worked

[turbid tide]

what plugin exactly? because each plugin can chose to either have an external expansion or not

[zenith zealot]

thanks dude

[zenith zealot]

death coord

[turbid tide]

ah. alright then

[turbid tide]

yeah. then no need for an ecloud downoad

[zenith zealot]

it gives the x y and z of the death location

[turbid tide]

download*

[zenith zealot]

okay, cheers

[arctic laurel]

Is there a way to make placeholders work for 1.7.10?

[turbid tide]

its up to the expansion/plugin to add support for 1.7.10

not to placeholderapi

[arctic laurel]

I heard with one of the cores, and they said they had support for both 1.7 and placeholder api

Aquacore

and when i do /papi reload, anf /papi list aqua still shows

[austere hawk]

what placeholder i use to see the time im playing

[turbid tide]

there;s some in the statistic expansion

%statistic_time_played%

you can also get it unformatted as seconds, minutes, hours etc.

[turbid tide]

not sure I Understand the issue here?

[arctic laurel]

You know when i join the server with 1.7.10

the placeholders are just shown as %(whatever)%

and when i join with 1.8 they work

as they should

and the plugin i am using is supporting 1.7.10

[turbid tide]

what version of PLaceholderAPI are you using?

[austere hawk]

Is in the GitHub?

[turbid tide]

yeah.

[arctic laurel]

PlaceholderAPI (2.10.9)

thats the one u said should work for 1.7.10

[turbid tide]

yeah. 1.7.10 support was removed in 2.10.10

[arctic laurel]

I could get the latest if u want?

[turbid tide]

the thing is, I Kinda doubt this is a PlaceholderAPI problem for some reason.

what is your actual server version? if you do /version.

[arctic laurel]

08:40:24 INFO: ● This server is running aSpigot.
08:40:24 INFO: ● Made by Scalebound.
08:40:24 INFO: ● Spigot version is 1.7.x to 1.8.x - v2.4.4.
08:40:24 INFO: -----------------------------------

[turbid tide]

what the hell is aSpigot?

[arctic laurel]

Idk, apparently a spigot hcf servers use?

[arctic laurel]

what spigot should i use for 1.7 and 1.8 support

[turbid tide]

well I mean idk what aSpigot is at all

can you give a link or something?

oh. I've found it https://www.mc-market.org/resources/6101/

[arctic laurel]

https://www.mc-market.org/resources/6101/

think it's this one

not 100% sure

[turbid tide]

you seem to be paying a lot of money for stuff you might not exactly need btw.

[arctic laurel]

yeah, seems that way

tryna get a good server out of it, but i run into small problems all the time

[turbid tide]

why do you even want to support 1.7 in the first place?

[arctic laurel]

cuz hcf is supposed to be in 1.7

[turbid tide]

like you could've done so much better if you went just paper (normal paper) 1.8.8 instead and instead of aqua core you went with some already existing plugins like Essentials, DIscordSRV, etc.

[arctic laurel]

bc of the pots and etc doesnt work properly in 1.8

[turbid tide]

like in my personal opinion, those are just scams. idk

the thing about custom forks, is that they make internal changes and break other plugins that might work just fine on paper/spigot

[arctic laurel]

I personally enjoy playing hcf a lot, and theres a big difference with 1.7 and 1.8 when it comes to playstyle

so i don't think ppl will wanna play on a 1.8 hcf server

[turbid tide]

yeah. but still. your custom fork, might be the one breaking plugins. like you never know. anyways I Don't think its PlaceholderAPI at all.

[arctic laurel]

alr, could u link me a spigot that should work and is working for both 1.7 and 1.8?

i can try it out

[stark shard]

Pls say u didnt get that fork from mcmarmet

All forks on there are scams

Y did u get a fork tho? For bow boosting? Or some pot function? U dont need a fork to fix those

[arctic laurel]

idk, first i bought a premade, then the premade had rescripted a lot of the plugins, and the dev that sold me the premade quit, so he won't instead i bought all the plugins he had rescripted, and i just changed them out with the newer versions

so idk where he got the fork from

or idk what it even does

[stark shard]

Y did u buy a server if u dont know how to make one? U will end up spending lots of money that u dont need to

[arctic laurel]

ik how to make one, but idk like why these things doesnt work

[stark shard]

Ok

[arctic laurel]

but yeah

[austere hawk]

what placeholder i use to use this:

time played: 1h 10m 5s

who

[turbid tide]

%statistic_time_played

[austere hawk]

only this?

[turbid tide]

yes.

[slate berry]

Hiw fix it?
https://pastebin.com/62dGqXYy

[turbid tide]

seems to be related to a PlayTime placeholder.

not really sure how to fix other than removing the placeholder itself from the hologram

[slate berry]

[turbid tide]

hmm?

[slate berry]

Okey 😦

DecentHolograms same problem

I understand to write directly to the plugin developer?

[turbid tide]

to the PlayTIme developer maybe. I'm not exactly sure

[slate berry]

Oki

[austere hawk]

Which placeholder can I use for Killstreaks? I tried to use killStats but that didnt work even after /papi ecloud reload or whatever..

[turbid tide]

some expansions need plugins to work

they don't work on their own

[austere hawk]

??

[turbid tide]

it requires an 8 years old plugin

[austere hawk]

oh

so it wont work for 1.18

i mean 1.17?

[turbid tide]

most likely

@austere hawk try this plugin out maybe https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/combatstats.94932/

[placid scarab]

guys where is the kitpvp placeholeders ecloud

[turbid tide]

what kitpvp plugin?

can you link?

[austere hawk]

yeah but KillStats has a rank thing where its like killstats_killstreak_rank

so it wouldnt work on 1.17?

[turbid tide]

no. and combatstats also has that

https://i.imgur.com/0ocWA7m.png

[austere hawk]

no thats for leaderboards

i want it on my sidebar to say like #31 or something

in kills

[turbid tide]

this? https://i.imgur.com/t9tAO2W.png

[austere hawk]

not really

[austere hawk]

so next to the kill and stuff it would say &8(&6#31&8) or something

[turbid tide]

hmm? how so?

[austere hawk]

oh well i cant even send a screenshot which wouldve made my question make sense

[turbid tide]

%combatstats_placement_killstreak_YOURNAME% would return 31

[austere hawk]

https://imgur.com/a/cBoRGLQ

hm so do i put combatstats in the expansion folder?

[turbid tide]

you don't need to

you have to install the plugin

[austere hawk]

theres no papi ecloud thin-

[turbid tide]

like any other plugin and the placeholders will just work

[austere hawk]

oh

oh- ok

i guess i can try

[placid scarab]

ı dont load a picturee

wait

[austere hawk]

well it works but now my problem is that its not synced with actual kills

the kills got reset

[turbid tide]

well yes. because it stores its own information

by default minecraft doesn't store killstreaks and all that

it only stores kills and deaths

that's why you need an enitre plugin to even get killstreaks

[austere hawk]

so how do i get this to work

wait

ffs

i need an imgur 1 sec

https://imgur.com/a/DhOe8qR

its not showing the player name

[turbid tide]

ugh. change %player% to {player_name}

[austere hawk]

how do i make it

oh

sorry

[placid scarab]

@turbid tide ı send a picture but ı cant

[turbid tide]

use imgur

[austere hawk]

https://imgur.com/a/qjTvA29

[turbid tide]

you still need the % at the end

[austere hawk]

wait i forgot that?

smh

sorry

still same thing

i remember deleting the percent then thinking after typing playername that i would add it back but i forogt

anyway, its till the same

[placid scarab]

@austere hawk ı dont use ımgur

[turbid tide]

what if you do /papi parse me %player_name%. what does that say?

[placid scarab]

please send my pictures

[austere hawk]

why what

you dont need an account

[turbid tide]

you just need to go to https://imgur.com/upload and drag the image there

it will do the rest for you

[placid scarab]

I cant register

[austere hawk]

it just says my mineraft ign

[austere hawk]

smhhhhh you dontneed to

[turbid tide]

yeah. you don't have to register

it works without an account

[placid scarab]

I will solve it but ı have picture

@turbid tide Can I send dm

[turbid tide]

no

[austere hawk]

@turbid tide

it just says my minecraft ign

[turbid tide]

ok. what kitpvp plugin do you use?

[placid scarab]

yes

[turbid tide]

yes. I saw. one second. what's your IGN?

[austere hawk]

Zxnus

it just says Zxnus

when i do papi parse me %player name%

[turbid tide]

ok try and do /papi parse me %combatstats_placement_killstreak_Zxnus%

what does this say?

[placid scarab]

but ı dont dowload Kitpvp placeholders because eCloud dont have folder

[austere hawk]

1 which is my current killstreak

[turbid tide]

I asked you what kitpvp plugin do you use?

[turbid tide]

what if you do /papi parse me %combatstats_placement_killstreak_{player_name}%

what does this say?

[placid scarab]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/kitpvp-1-8-1-18-custom-kits-leaderboards-gui-levels-kill-streaks-abilities-more.27107/

this is

[austere hawk]

also when i die it still keeps my killstreak at 1......

[turbid tide]

yes. because that shows your top killstreak

not your current killstreak

[austere hawk]

oh i wanted it to show current

[turbid tide]

%combatstats_killstreak%

use this

[austere hawk]

i just did

and it says 0 now

[turbid tide]

@placid scarab check your config.yml.

make sure placeholderapi option is enabled

and restart the server

[austere hawk]

so is there not a one for current killstreak?

[placid scarab]

Which ?

[turbid tide]

%combatstats_killstreak%

[austere hawk]

bru-

[turbid tide]

that's the one

for current

[turbid tide]

your kitpvp config

[austere hawk]

i mean for the rank

[placid scarab]

okey bro

[turbid tide]

this returns your rank %combatstats_placement_killstreak_{player_name}%

this returns your current killstreak %combatstats_killstreak%

the first one doesn't return your top killstreak. it returns your placement in the leaderboard

[austere hawk]

yeah thats top killstreak not current

i want current

[turbid tide]

that's what the second placeholder is for

[turbid tide]

no. thats your placement

[austere hawk]

OOHHHH

[turbid tide]

in the top

[austere hawk]

OKKK

wait but what about this cos this is literally just showing the string https://imgur.com/a/JMgMvF3

[turbid tide]

but if you do /papi parse me %combatstats_placement_killstreak_{player_name}% what does it say?

[austere hawk]

okay this is bad and needs fixing quick because now people are joining my server with no rank..#

[austere hawk]

the one in my photo was KILLS not KILLSTREAK

[turbid tide]

well actually it was both

I just took one of them

what does /papi parse me %combatstats_kills% return?

[austere hawk]

1 which is how many i ave

[turbid tide]

and in your scoreboard it doesn't work?

or what exactly is the problem?

[austere hawk]

the kills works but placement doesnt

i hate the imgur thing

i have to send sooooooooooo many

[turbid tide]

I think you're not understanding what the placeholders do

[austere hawk]

https://imgur.com/a/jeQkmbv

[austere hawk]

Alright you need to reply quickly, my entire server is broken rn over this and people are joining without ranks.

[turbid tide]

ok. I'll try.

[austere hawk]

thank you

[turbid tide]

can you try puting a name there instead of {player_name}?

like your name

[austere hawk]

ok i also removed playername just to try and nothing happens

so just {Zxnus}

or

[turbid tide]

without the {}

so just Zxnus

[austere hawk]

yeah that shows #1 which is me

but how do i do it for all players

is the question

[turbid tide]

IC. I found the problem. I'll send you an updated plugin jar in a second

[austere hawk]

hey so i need this to be quick. its disabling my tab plugin and ppl are joining without ranks.

[turbid tide]

I'm trying. having some problems actually compiling it

[austere hawk]

when i do /tab reload it gives no errors in console

[austere hawk]

oh ok sorry thank you

[turbid tide]

@austere hawk I recommend you remove combat stats for now.

I can't get it to work and it might take a while

[austere hawk]

dont worry i already did lol but thank you anyway

[turbid tide]

here you go @austere hawk

if you want to give it a try

[austere hawk]

im pretty sure thats what i just had?

[turbid tide]

its an updated version

%combatstats_placement_killstreak_{player_name}% should work now

[austere hawk]

i mean fine ill try it i guess

[restive forge]

Hey i got an error but cant post an Link from hastebin 😄

[prisma torrent]

I have a question regarding interaction with the menus using middle-click. I have a shop menu with a middle-click function which works in creative mode but not in survival. What might be the cause of this?

[turbid tide]

mojang. they removed that functionality from minecraft in 1.18. they only allow it in creative mode now.

[prisma torrent]

Alright, thanks.

[austere hawk]

hey, so i ended up not using CombatStats but it literally won't go. I deleted the .jar and the folder and every time my server restarts the folder is back.

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi dump and send the generated link here?

[austere hawk]

https://paste.helpch.at/uyanizupay

[mental night]

i think its in the placeholderapi config.yml

date_format: MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss

@austere hawk in config.yml

you mean translation wise?

ahh oka

not too sure i know its possible as ive seen it before

[mighty mesa]

I was trying to add papi to my pom

for a plugin, and I got this

Blocked mirror for repositories: [clip-repo (http://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/, default, releases+snapshots)]

Since Maven 3.8.1 http repositories are blocked.

Possible solutions:
- Check that Maven pom files do not contain http repository http://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/

- Downgrade Maven to version 3.8.1 or earlier in settings```

[runic vale]

hello

i am creating a server with my friends and i want to add a top deaths scoreboard. I am using RealScorboard

But i dont know how i should do

[livid falcon]

Use a leaderboard plugin, like leaderheads or ajleaderboard

The wiki will help you do the rest

[runic vale]

thx i did that

[worldly fjord]

use https: instead of http

<url>https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/</url>

[zenith zealot]

is there a player effect placeholder

[stark shard]

How would i make a placeholder for a plugin with Skript?

[vivid sparrow]

You don't

[turbid tide]

thank you gaby

[rotund pendant]

[vivid sparrow]

anytime blitz

[stark shard]

wym?

[vivid sparrow]

Literally that

[stark shard]

Is it impossible, or is there a reason why I shouldn't

what if there is a placeholder I want but isn't available

I heard some ppl do it

[turbid tide]

impossible

[stark shard]

Idk how someone else made then but okay

If I were to make placeholders for another plugin, would I need to make another plugin or edit that plugin?

[turbid tide]

you'd need to use java/kotlin/other jvm language to make an expansion

[stark shard]

okay

ty

[edgy sapphire]

Hey, I'm getting this error after a server restart, I always need to reload the plugin to fix it, how to fix this issue so I would not reload the plugin?
https://paste.helpch.at/corusasahi.sql

[turbid tide]

first thing, try redownloading PlaceholderAPI

if not then it might just be one of your expansions that's broken and breaks the loader so maybe delete the expansions and read them 1 by 1 until it starts doing it agai

[dense saddle]

does papi work with java 8

[rare tangle]

is there a way to make the string a placeholder returns all uppercase

like

%player%

but all uppercase

[sharp jay]

%player_name%

[rare tangle]

not player specifically

i meant like any placeholder in general

[stark shard]

Probably not

[turbid tide]

you could use the string expansion. to change the outputs of other placeholders

/papi ecloud download string then /papi reload and use %string_uppercase_<string>%

for example %string_uppercase_{player_name}%

[austere hawk]

Hello, is it possible to create a stats for multiple players with deluxemenus like (/stats <offlineplayer>)

[rotund coyote]

Hello,
is there a placeholder for the blocks placed and for the number of sheep sheared?
I do not find anything :/
Thanks

[buoyant tide]

Statistic expansion

[wide wolf]

hello, how can i change the lanuguage of essentials placeholders (for example %essentials_kit_is_available_<kitname>% or %essentials_afk%)

I changed in config of essentials language to polish but this placeholders are still in english - how can i change it???

(for example this placeholder: %essentials_kit_time_until_available_<kitname>% is in polish so i dont know whats wrong...)

[simple musk]

is there a placeholder that returns your slot #?

[rotund coyote]

I looked in the statistics but I couldn't find anything for the blocks placed/ crops placed and for the shearing of the sheep :/.
I manage to bring out the data for broken blocks , crafts, etc....
But these 3 actions I can't find a placeholder... :/

[turbid tide]

yes. in deluxemenus look for the args option. then use the parseother expansion to parse placeholder for the target.

[turbid tide]

not all placeholders return text from essentials. some its just internal text or from placeholderapi's config.yml

[turbid tide]

so like the item in that slot?

then you can use the checkitem expansion

[turbid tide]

you might have to use %statistic_use_item% for placed.

most statistics are just taken from spigot https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Statistic.html

so you can look there see if you find one but I couldn't find any other ones myself

[simple musk]

nah, looking for a placeholder that returns what slot the player is on

1-9

[turbid tide]

ahhh. hmm wonder if you can even do that in spigot. don't know any placeholders. sorry

hmm seems to be possible. at least on latest. just no placeholder I can find on the wiki

[rotund coyote]

Thank you vers much, I will look into it in more detail 👍

[rotund coyote]

Oops sorry

Thank you very much, I will look into it in more detail

[turbid tide]

👍

[dusty jasper]

Hi all

Someone can help me with this warnings?
[10:56:45 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] Loaded class me.clip.ezblocks.EZBlocks from EZBlocks v1.5.0 which is not a depend or softdepend of this plugin.

I got several

[turbid tide]

you can ignore

its bcz some expansions (in this case the ezblocks) one is accessing data from another plugin

which is EzBlcoks.

[dusty jasper]

Okay

Another question

For dev stuff i use ServerUtils to reload my core

And after i do that, all the placeholder stop to work

[turbid tide]

yeah. its really not recommended. you should restart the servers instead.

[dusty jasper]

I've created a class in my core that extend PlaceholderExpansion

In 1.8 works and in 1.18 it doesn't?

We're going ahead or behind?

[turbid tide]

serverutils is not "going ahead". like the plugin does some weird stuff to do the reload. not even normal /reload is recommended.

does it break on /papi reload tho?

if it does just override the persist method and make it return true

Please note that reloading may not be compatible with each and every plugin! Plugins which depend on a reloaded plugin, are likely to be error-prone for reloading. Improper cleanup, or improper startup practises may break plugin (re/un)loading as well. Please be careful!
this is on server util's page btw.

well now that I read it, its not really the best thing I could come with

xD

[dusty jasper]

I'm talking of PlaceholderAPI, not of serverutils...

[turbid tide]

right. but you're saying that specifically supporting serverutils is "going ahead" which is completely wrong?

[dusty jasper]

i'm talking in general

In 1.8 there's 0 error

No problem with serverutils

And no warning

now in 1.18 warning and no serverutils

That's what i'm saying

And the last version of placeholderAPI is of 6 months ago

[turbid tide]

these warnings?

you can "blame" spigot for those. they're literally just telling you that a plugin is loading stuff from another plugin. In this case your EzBlocks expansion (which is considered part of PlaceholderAPI) is loading stuff from the EzBlocks plugin (which it needs so it can get the data to display placeholders?).

this warning was probably added at a later version by spigot

its not a warning added by PlaceholderAPI

[dusty jasper]

From what i know

Spigot can't add the prefix of a plugin randomly

[turbid tide]

yeah. and? it works. and it is still getting updated. but there's no reason for weekly updates?

[dusty jasper]

6 months = weekly?

Don't come with those excuses now bro xd

[turbid tide]

check the github repo. its getting updated.

excuses for what? I gain nothing from this

[dusty jasper]

exact

So what's the point to find excuses

If there's no stable version means that they are doing something

[turbid tide]

excuses for what exaclty?

[dusty jasper]

But it's still not working properly

Or not secure enough

ANd it's fine

I'm not saying that's a problem

The problem is that idk why but from 1.8 to 1.18 it's no longer working

But writing here will not solve anything

[turbid tide]

not exactly... it just means that they're waiting for more stuff to pile up so they drop a bigger update. dropping a few lines of text changed update every day is not something we really want to do?

[dusty jasper]

So i will stop waste your time, i was just curious

[turbid tide]

I mean if you really think its a problem don't heistate to open a issue on github

[dusty jasper]

Hope it will get support for serverutils in the future

[turbid tide]

hesitate*

[dusty jasper]

It's sure a problem, reloading the full server for every test means losing 500% of time

Just bc who knows what placeholderAPI does

[turbid tide]

but do you know what ServerUtils does?

Spigot was literally not made to be reloaded.

and paper even warns you when you do /reload and makes you do it twice

its something very well documented and known. a few googles would probably find a few spigot posts explaining it

[dusty jasper]

test != real server

test server = you can do what you want

and stopping me from fast reloading changes is a bullshit

[turbid tide]

once again I don't work on the plugin. so open an issue and a developer will give you an answer

[dusty jasper]

It's fine

[turbid tide]

github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/issues

[dusty jasper]

Thanks for your reply

[turbid tide]

ah here we go https://madelinemiller.dev/blog/problem-with-reload/

[turbid tide]

yeah. but that doesn't stop stuff from breaking. it doesn't just see its a test server and says "now the reload command can just work". I mean PAPI has a reload command itself. if you want to reload expansions do that. and for your core you should have a reload command if you want that reloads stuff safely

[cold temple]

Just updated to 1.18.2 to see the damage 💀

Hello

how to do hologram player money list ? 😄

[pliant pulsar]

I think there is a bug with this placeholder -> "%statistic_mine_block%" when I mine any block it adds 1 to the counter, but if I mine stone it turns into rock and counts as 2 mined blocks when it should really be 1, no?

[rare tangle]

is there a placeholder to check how long a player has been on a certain world?

[rugged widget]

after restarting the server it forgets what extentions i installed

im using deluxemenu and checkitem PAPI

[orchid thistle]

Ok, i just made it but, it doesnt check all the three requirement to be able to click if the player has only one they can click
https://paste.helpch.at/ozasodisol.bash

omg im so st*pid, al my requirements had the same name xd

[zenith zealot]

is there like an item placeholder

[turbid tide]

the placeholder prints the values at 3 different times. iirc its 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes. or it might just be seconds. there's placeholders to get the values for all of those separately:

%server_tps_1%
%server_tps_5%
%server_tps_15%
%server_tps_1_colored%
%server_tps_5_colored%
%server_tps_15_colored%``` first 3 just get it normally and the other 3 get it and also color it.

[turbid tide]

what exactly would this do? there's the checkitem expansion that works with items a lot but not exactly sure what "an item placeholder" is

[bold charm]

@turbid tide sorry, i meant when i use those placeholders in a bungeecord or waterfall environment, it prints 3 different tps on the same line

[bold charm]

sorry, i meant when i use those placeholders in a bungeecord or waterfall environment, it prints 3 different tps on the same line

I´m put the Placeholder API on all of my paper backend servers, i'm not put them on the proxy

The TAB plugin is on the proxy and i put the TAB bukkit-bridge on my backend servers as the author says on the wiki

But i can´t resolve that bug on %tps% placeholder

[elder palm]

https://i.imgur.com/m6o79ct.png

https://i.imgur.com/1HUyriJ.png

I guess there's your answer. %tps% is an internal placeholder from tab, not placeholder api and therefore will most likely glitch out or even parse it for all servers connected within the bungee, using the bridge. so my guess is you got 3 that fit the criteria

[covert tinsel]

Hi, I'm looking to add a permission that only activated at certain times of the year through contexts. I'm planning on using the ExtraContexts addon for LuckPerms and PlaceholderAPI placeholders, but I was looking at the "server_time_X" placeholder, and I was curious how I would make it so the placeholder would define a period of a month instead of one date, or do I have to add a placeholder for each day of that month? Any help is greatly appreciated!

[austere hawk]

Try this
%server_time_<SimpleDateFormat>%
M for 3
MM for 03
MMM for Mar
MMMM for March

So you'd do %server_time_M% to get 3

or well, 5 since its may

[covert tinsel]

Will that last for just today, or can I make it last several days?

[austere hawk]

I think you have to put D if you want days as well?

can you give a better example?

[covert tinsel]

Say I wanted a permission that lasted for all of this month (1st of May to the 31st of May), what would that look like?

[austere hawk]

Yep so what you could do is
%server_time_M%, then check if that equals to 5

and if it does, then you're in may

Not sure if you can run checks like this with ExtraContexts

oo yep you can

[covert tinsel]

Hmm ok, thanks for your help, also, do you how to I define checks, say I wanted to make a permission for a month in the future?

[austere hawk]

You'd put this in your ExtraContexts config

placeholderapi-placeholders:
  month: "%server_time_M%"

Then in your luckperm context you'd probably do like month=5

[covert tinsel]

Ok, thanks, I’ll start adding this to my server, thanks for your help 🙂

[austere hawk]

yeah np

[covert tinsel]

Hi, sorry to bother you again, but would “%server_time_MMMM%” work if I wanted to set December as the month in the context? Thanks again for your help!

[austere hawk]

yep that should work

I think numbers are easier to work with though imo

but, whatever fits your use case haha

[covert tinsel]

Yeah they are, just want to make sure there’s no prob going from single digit number (like 5) to a number with two digits (like 12)

[austere hawk]

There shouldn't be any

You could also use MM

which would make 5 into 05

[covert tinsel]

So 12 would still work under M, or would it need MM

[austere hawk]

No it should work with just M

[covert tinsel]

Ok, and MM would make 12 012 or smth

[austere hawk]

Nah would be just 12

[covert tinsel]

Ok, thanks, I’ll give that a try

[covert tinsel]

Hmm, I’ve set the extra context to the permission, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, does ExtraContext need to be installed on Bungee and Spigot? And if so is there a specific Bungee version? Thanks again for your help 🙂

[austere hawk]

no idea, I've never used the plugin

But I know you can't have placeholderAPI on bungeecord, so

What you could do is link all your luckperm plugins with a database, then put extra context on each of the spigot servers

and it should carry through throughout the whole thing

[covert tinsel]

Yeah, I do use a database for my LuckPerms, so that shouldn’t be the problem, I’ll go ask LuckPerms if ExtraContext needs to be on Bungee, thanks again 🙂

Hello, I downloaded Heroes-expansion, but noone placeholder works, example : %heroes_main_class_name%

I already used Statistic, Vault etc.. But this one doesn't show

[pliant pulsar]

.

And I have another question, the placeholder "%player_first_join_date%" returns this: https://i.gyazo.com/62a8af8682fc2af516b16cfe00cc141a.png

But I need only the date "03/12/22" and in my country format, is it possible?

[mint fable]

what about %player_first_played% %player_first_join% %player_first_played_formatted%

[pliant pulsar]

https://i.gyazo.com/4f74d26fa8340ac5fb3347df22f167a8.png

tested

[mint fable]

prob easiest to use js

var date = new Date("%player_first_join_date%")
date.toLocaleDateString()

maybe

[pliant pulsar]

How do I use it as a placeholder?

[mint fable]

you gotta download and use the javascript expansion

and make that a script

[pliant pulsar]

yes!

A friend of mine told me that by editing the date in the PlaceholderAPI config I can do it easily, I didn't remember that xD

[mint fable]

I looked for that

[pliant pulsar]

But yes, this is another way of doing it, sorry ping

[mint fable]

ah smh

it's not under the player expansion

it's just date:

smh

[pliant pulsar]

https://i.gyazo.com/659fff47a4c606a2c386f75607cb5504.png

@nova ether type /papi parse me %heroes_main_class_name% in chat

does it work?

[nova ether]

it types %heroes_main_class_name%

[mint fable]

?startuplog

can you send that over

Also, you said you downloaded the expansion jar

from where?

the spigot page?

[nova ether]

Nah I used command, /papi ecloud download Heroes

Do I send you log here?

[mint fable]

try the one from the spigot page instead

you can send it in a paste

but it looks like the one on the ecloud is different from the one on the spigot page

probably better

[nova ether]

Can you send me the link?

[mint fable]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/⚔-heroes-premium-⚔-10-off-best-rpg-plugin-ever.24734/

all the placeholders are also listed on the spigot page for that one

bit different from the other one

Hey, I want to make a javascript placeholder which returns the current time in unix. But all I get is like 1.652523635E9 which won't work with timestamp in discord. https://paste.helpch.at/oqibuvagub.js

Edit: Fixed it

[ember wharf]

Yes it will

[plush dove]

Like inside the changeouput placeholder, I want it to output the text %

Basically I want the changeoutput placeholder to be able to output text with the percent sign in it

[mint fable]

you can try using the ascii expansion inside the changeoutput one

[plush dove]

oh ok thanks

[drowsy jackal]

How can I divide the %player_health%

amount to make it display only hearts not half hearts

[mint fable]

%player_health_rounded% maybe @drowsy jackal

[drowsy jackal]

I tried that

[mint fable]

what does it show

and what do you want to show

[drowsy jackal]

a 0

[drowsy jackal]

i want it to show 10

if im at max health

not 20

[mint fable]

so %player_health% and %player_health_rounded% both return 20?

[drowsy jackal]

%player_health_rounded%

shows 0

and so does player_health

[mint fable]

what shows 20

[drowsy jackal]

I forgot it was the default one

for TAB

[mint fable]

okay, so you're saying shows 0

can you test it with /papi parse me %player_health% %player_health_rounded%

and tell me if it still returns 0

[drowsy jackal]

it just says

%player_health% %player_health_rounded%

[mint fable]

you need to install the expansion

run those commands and then parse it again

[drowsy jackal]

20.0 and 20

[mint fable]

install that one

[drowsy jackal]

done

[mint fable]

if they have 9.5 hearts do you want it to say 9.5?

[drowsy jackal]

9

or just rounded

[mint fable]

%math_0:{player_health}/2%

see if that works

[drowsy jackal]

it works!

[static zenith]

Hello!
How i can take permission for player but he are offline

i test papi: OtherPlayer , ParseOther, but nothing if player off

[vivid sparrow]

try luckperms if you are using it

[turbid tide]

fairly certain their placeholders do not work for offline players

[vivid sparrow]

welp

[static zenith]

😢

[plush dove]

How could I make a changeoutput placeholder where it compares the first thing to multiple texts?

like this: %changeoutput_contains_{checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:}_BEETROOT\_SEEDS OR POTATO OR CARROT OR WHEAT\_SEEDS_ADD_SET%

Trying to check if the offhand item is BEETROOT_SEEDS, POTATOES, CARROTS, or SEEDS

[mint fable]

probably just want to use javascript at that point

[plush dove]

Sorry, had to go, could I use javascript like a placeholder in another plugin that supports PAPI?

[turbid tide]

yeah. with the Javascript expansion

[plush dove]

ah alright

[turbid tide]

you can create your own custom placeholders that execute a javascript script

[plush dove]

😭 I have no clue how to do this

I've been looking at it and i know not one thing of java script coding

[turbid tide]

might want to take a look at the links above

specifically the first 2 ones

[plush dove]

I have 😭

This would require you to know basic javascript, which I dont unfortunetly

[turbid tide]

well that's what the "javascript" expansion is for xD

[plush dove]

well I think I have a way to do what I need without it

But I do have another odd issue

so I have this placeholder: %changeoutput_equals_{checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:}_WHEAT\_SEEDS_SET_ADD%

Which should check the offhand item, and see if it's WHEAT_SEEDS, and if it is, then give me "SET", and if it isn't, give me "ADD", correct?

[turbid tide]

yeah.

[plush dove]

I have COOKED_PORKCHOP in my offhand yet it's still giving me SET

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me {checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:}

what does this return?

oh 1 sec

[plush dove]

Change it to %?

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:%

yeah

when you have the cooked porkchop

[plush dove]

sad

cant even send a picture

[turbid tide]

hmm.

[plush dove]

but cooked_porkchop but all caps

[turbid tide]

I saw your message

yeah

[plush dove]

So I changed the {} to cooked_porkchop (but all caps) directly, and it gave me "ADD"...

so it works fine there

[turbid tide]

can you try something like this: /papi parse me %changeoutput_equals_TEST_WRONG\_ANSWER_SET_ADD% and then /papi parse me %changeoutput_equals_TEST_WRONG_SET_ADD%

[plush dove]

First one gave me "ADD"

Second one also gave me "ADD"

[turbid tide]

so these do work fine. hmmm

[plush dove]

maybe I have to escape the underscores in the {} placeholder?

[turbid tide]

that shouldn't be the case. let me double check the source code tho

[plush dove]

bruhh

that fixed it

[turbid tide]

oh was it that? I thought it parses the placeholders first

then splits the arguments

yeah I was wrong. it doesn't

it splits first

so basically it was taking {checkitem as one argument then getinfo:40 as another and then mat:} as another

[plush dove]

👍 got it, thanks

im back

%changeoutput_equals_{checkitem\_getinfo:40\_mat:}_CARROT_SET_ADD% should check my offhand for carrots, and if it is, then output as "SET", right?

It gives me "ADD" even though my offhand is carrots

I ran /papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:% and it gave me CARROT

I ran /papi parse me %changeoutput_equals_{checkitem\_getinfo:40\_mat:}_CARROT_SET_ADD% and it gave me ADD though

... I removed the \ from the {} placeholder and it works fine then

I'm so confused

[turbid tide]

if no one is answering I'm going to be taking another look in like 15-20 minutes. not doing very well rn

[plush dove]

ah, your fine. I think I can figure it out on my own with some testing. I'll let you know how it goes

ok so, doing %changeoutput_equals_{checkitem\_getinfo:40\_mat:}_WHEAT\_SEEDS_SET_ADD% with the forward slashes doesnt correctly check even if I have wheat seeds. It always gives me ADD. Doing the placeholder without the forward slashes always gives me SET, even if having wheat seeds or another item. The only time it works properly without the forward slashes are when I don't have anything in my offhand

[turbid tide]

ok so I'm not feeling very well today and I just double checked and I was completely wrong. the \ in the bracket placeholders should not be needed at all

[plush dove]

😬 I'm sorry to keep bothering you then, but if I remove the \ then anything I hold in my offhand is considered wheat_Seeds

no wait... Only cooked_porkchop does it

nvm, a lot of stuff do it

But oddly enough, carrots, potatoes, and wheat work normally

[turbid tide]

any chance the checkitem placeholder give a colored output?

you might want to try something like this:

%changeoutput_equals,ignorecase,ignorecolors_{checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:}_WHEAT\_SEEDS_SET_ADD%

[plush dove]

nope, still gives me SET with cooked_porkchop

and the text is in full caps, white color

[turbid tide]

this confuses me a lot. anyways I think I could just give you the javascript code. should be just some simple if checks

[plush dove]

pretty sure theres already a community java script that checks for items

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#checkremove-item

[turbid tide]

yeah. that's basically the precedent for checkitem expansion

But I'm saying use the javascript expansion as an alternative of changeoutput.

function checkItem() {
  if ("%checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:%" == "COOCKED_PORKCHOP") {
    return "SET";
  }

  return "ADD";
}```

[plush dove]

ah ok. is that all thats needed?

[turbid tide]

yeah. you need to set it up first in javascript_placeholders.yml and then in plugins/PlaceholderAPI/javascripts/

the wiki should tell you how to create a javascript placeholder step by step

[plush dove]

alright, thank you very much! sorry for all the trouble I've caused

[turbid tide]

you've caused no trouble at all. I'm here to help

[plush dove]

whenever I do /papi parse me %javascript_change%, it just gives me a blank text in chat

[turbid tide]

can you put the stuff you have in javascript_placeholders.yml in a paste bin and send it here?

[plush dove]

https://pastebin.com/3fyu9whA

[turbid tide]

alright. and you've placed this code inside plugins/PlaceholderAPI/javascript/change.js?

[plush dove]

Yep I have

https://imgur.com/a/PWdN5om

[turbid tide]

oh yeah that's my bad

I forgot to call the function

function checkItem() {
  if ("%checkitem_getinfo:40_mat:%" == "COOCKED_PORKCHOP") {
    return "SET";
  }

  return "ADD";
}

checkItem();```

[plush dove]

pog it works! ❤️

[turbid tide]

alright. and how do you want these all to work? do you want to check if its X or Y or Z? or just check if its X?

[plush dove]

confusion

was that directed towards me?

[turbid tide]

Yeah yeah. about this

[plush dove]

ah, well basically I was trying to make a custom enchant that replants crops when harvesting them, but if the offhand item is a specific crop then it would plant that crop. So if you had nothing in your offhand and you broke carrots, it would plant carrots. But if you had potatoes in your offhand, it would plant potatoes

well, overall, I spent far too long on something extremely dumb and nobody would use 😂

but javascript is awesome! changed my file from: https://imgur.com/a/GAdkMK8 to https://imgur.com/a/03ZnMGW haha

[turbid tide]

well awesome for this. not in general tho xD

[plush dove]

I actually use the changeoutput placeholder in so many places, javascript will definetly help :D

[cobalt cave]

So im using a formatter inside a formatter what would I use when doing %{3rd placeholder}%

[plush dove]

Can you access api from other plugins in JavaScript

[wind panther]

Can placeholder api have bungee support/can be installed on a Proxy?

[radiant plaza]

nope i guess

[sand dagger]

Where are the papi for this https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/mvdw-placeholders/#tickspersecond ?

Can't find it anywhere

Where is the average tps and tps rounded tho

[turbid tide]

%server_tps%
%server_tps_1%
%server_tps_5%
%server_tps_15%
%server_tps_1_colored%
%server_tps_5_colored%
%server_tps_15_colored%

[sand dagger]

Alrighty thank you

[turbid tide]

it will only return it rounded I believe

[sand dagger]

%server_name% isn't returning the correct name

[turbid tide]

its returning the name you set in plugins/PlaceholderAPI/config.yml

[sand dagger]

Ah okay

Does the Bungeecord server name return still exist under a different expansion than Bungeecord or no?

[turbid tide]

no

[crude yew]

Hello, once in a few server restarts I get this error on my server. What could be the issue? Other times everything loads up fine.
Here's what happens when PAPI breaks:
https://pastebin.com/raw/McpgBfBB
AND here's what happens when it loads up normally with nothing changing on the server:
https://pastebin.com/raw/PUw2VNjR
Any help please?

[turbid tide]

it just seems like either a corrupted plugin jar (you could try redownloading PlaceholderAPI) or a broken expansion. you can try by removing all expansions from the expansions folder and seeing if this still happens

[crude yew]

Thank you very much! Will do!

[astral python]

hello I have a little problem with my api i try to be the api kill stats on my tab but its does not work it downloads but it does not appear in the list of papis is normal?
