placeholder-api

[turbid tide]

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

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}%

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

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

[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...

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.7

[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

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?

[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

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 🙂

date.toLocaleDateString()

maybe

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

how could i use a % sign in a placeholder?

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

https://helpch.at/placeholders#ascii

[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!

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

yeah. with the Javascript expansion

[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

    return "SET";
  }

  return "ADD";
}

[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

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

nope i guess

[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?

[turbid tide]

do you have the KillStats plugin? Some expansions require you have some extra plugin(s) to work

this is the case for the KillStats expansion

[astral python]

it takes an extension for its work it is possible to have the name or the link?

[turbid tide]

usually if the name is blue on the wiki it means that there's a plugin required. you can click on the name for it to open the link to the download page

anyways. the killstats plugin was not updated in years

you might want to get a newer plugin

like CombatStats

[astral python]

1.17

I'm in 1.18.2

[turbid tide]

should work afaik

you can try it tho

[astral python]

and what it is compatible with skript?

its doesn't seem to work too much

[turbid tide]

the skript expansion was deprecated long ago. you should use this one instead https://github.com/Altruiis/skript-expansion/releases/

[astral python]

instead of what?? combat stats

[turbid tide]

oh. I Might've misunderstood your question

[turbid tide]

what exactly doesn't seem to work?

[astral python]

in fact it is a scoreboard that and made in skript on my other servers its works the api but not the one the

in fact I want to use the api killstats I implant it in my code but its does not work I have the plugins combat stats sa still does not work I do not know why I use skript for my scoreboard I do not know if it is the cause or not

[turbid tide]

you don't need to use the killstats expansion anymore

if you use combatstats, you use their expansion

[astral python]

I just told you that there is the extension but its does not work

[crude yew]

Thanks again! Found it! It was the javascript expansion, I'm guessing that rather than being the javascript expansion though it's one of the .js files or such

[tame light]

are you dumb or are you doing it on purpose? have told you that we have the extension but it does not work. not complicated to understand if?

[astral python]

I can't be a photo otherwise I would have directly shown what I had

[turbid tide]

I am dumb. but the problem is not that right here. The problem is the language barrier. I understand only half of the stuff you guys say. I'm trying my best right here...

[astral python]

you speak french ??

[crude yew]

Your english seems absolutely fine

[turbid tide]

not mine is the problem.

[tame light]

okay let it go, have you managed

[astral python]

me ?

[turbid tide]

yeah. what I understand from here is that you're still trying to use the killstats expansion. but you also said you've switch to combatstats

[tame light]

extention doesn’t work

[turbid tide]

its built inside the plugin

you don't need to download anything else

just the plugin itself

[astral python]

nothing actually works

[turbid tide]

do you have CombatStats installed on your server?

[astral python]

yes

[turbid tide]

if yes try this command: /papi parse me %combatstats_kills%

what does this command say? it should return a message in chat

[astral python]

0

[tame light]

1

[turbid tide]

ok so the placeholder works. now you use these placeholders in Skript. at least I believe Skript supports PlaceholderAPI

[turbid tide]

there's multiple placeholders. you can see them listed here

or on the spigot page

[tame light]

yes its function but when we want to use the extention it does not work

[astral python]

Or can I put the picture down for you to see?

[turbid tide]

which extension exactly?

[turbid tide]

you can use imgur.com if you want to send screenshots

[tame light]

%combatstats_kills%

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tZqoVT9l-1FRTtCo6EM2ors4Jcgpglck/view?usp=sharing

[turbid tide]

I'm not sure how Skript works. The placeholder works as you've mentioned above so my assumption is that Skript either doesn't support PlaceholderAPI or it uses a different format for them.

[tame light]

on my screen that I sent you is HolographicDisplay which is use

[turbid tide]

Oh well HolographicDIsplay also uses a different format

I believe it is {papi: combatstats_kills} but let me double check

yeah

[crude yew]

Is there a means to get information on the placeholders of an expansion if an expansion has no documentation?

[turbid tide]

either from https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/placeholders or from the expansion/plugin's wiki/spigot page

so if its not on this link and not on their wiki/spigot page then not really

[crude yew]

Okay, thank you!

[turbid tide]

read first star btw. it explains the format

[turbid tide]

so this should work in HOlographicDisplay

[plush dove]

I have this javascript: https://pastebin.com/9SAPpeYp but it keeps returning blank

I did /jsexp parse me <code>, and it returned carrot, which is what it should do

but if I do /papi parse me %javascript_block%, it returns air

[turbid tide]

you're probably using the wrong placeholder then.

send your javascript_placeholders.yml file in a paste bin

https://paste.helpch.at

[plush dove]

yuppp, thats the issue

I thought I added it to the file already

haha.. thanks!

[plush dove]

I'm trying to make a javascript where theres an argument, and it checks if that argument equals something, and return text if it does

I was trying to base it off of the community javascripts

https://paste.helpch.at/ixaxetaseg.js

[turbid tide]

yeah. this should work

as long as you use it correctly

[plush dove]

REALLY?!

well

theres an error

hold on

[turbid tide]

might be bcz of this var crop = POTATOES;

might want to make it var crop = "POTATOES";

[plush dove]

kk

[turbid tide]

since it probably doesn't find a variable named POTATOES

[plush dove]

it works 0_o

did not expect it to

thank you so much

[turbid tide]

yeah. strings need to be declared in quotes

otherwise they're variables

and you have no variable called POTATOES

[plush dove]

The placeholder https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/scoreboardtags/ seems not to be working because it returns just the placeholder. I see it is made by Glare, an admin here, so I hope he or someone else here can help me out 😄

Steps:

1. /minecraft:tag Itz_Robinnn list
   feedback: Itz_Robinnn has 1 tags: KeyIngeleverd

2. /papi parse Itz_Robinnn %sbtags_has_tag_KeyIngeleverd%
   feedback: %sbtags_has_tag_KeyIngeleverd%

[turbid tide]

just seems like one of your expansions is broken. go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ and remove all expansions, restart and see if it happens. If it doesn't, then add half of the expansions back, restart and see if it happens, if it doesn't repeat. if it does then the expansion is in the half that you've just added so remove half of the half you just added and restart. if it still happens repeat if not you've found the expansion

[turbid tide]

you too. do the same thing as I've told them to do above

[turbid tide]

the sbtags expansion uses Spigto's API to get the socreboard tags. its like a 4 lines of code. so if its not working, either:
a. spigot is broken
b. the expansion itself is broken and doesn't actually load at all on startup
c. the scoreboard tags that spigot gives are different from the minecraft ones.

now we can make sure its not b by you just doing /papi dump and sending the generated link here

[cyan canopy]

https://paste.helpch.at/edukivusen

[turbid tide]

Failed to load expansion class ScoreboardTagsExpansion - One of its properties is null which is not allowed!

hmm

[turbid tide]

yeah. I assume its the version. this might be a plugin messing with the ClassLoader. or idk what else tbh

yeah it is the version. it says it

[cyan canopy]

So, no 1.18.2 support yet?

[turbid tide]

can you try updating paper to latest development build? Its most likely not going to fix it but its worth a try

[turbid tide]

no no has nothing to do with the spigot/paper version

but rather with the actual expansion's version

[cyan canopy]

Ah, okay, then I'll have to check with my colleague. He manages the version we run our server on

[turbid tide]

it uses reflection to get set the version itself. and so I believe that if there's a plugin or something like that that messes with the class loader the expansions that use this will just break

[turbid tide]

no no. idk how to explain it tbh xD

I could just give you custom jar where I make the version a fixed string, or you could try removing some plugins to see if it works like that. or just PlaceholderAPI and the expansion itself on the server

[languid vessel]

16.05 09:42:35 [Server] ERROR [PlaceholderAPI] Failed to load expansion class ScoreboardTagsExpansion - One of its properties is null which is not allowed!

how do i fix this error

[turbid tide]

we are just talking about this. above. it might be a plugin that messes with the class loader

[languid vessel]

what is that

[turbid tide]

if you wanna read https://www.baeldung.com/java-classloaders#classloader-intro

[languid vessel]

sure

[cyan canopy]

Hahaha

Okay so presumably the ScoreboardTags expansion conflicts with another plugin and therefore doesn't work. What I can try is 1) update server to new paper version, 2) investigate with which plugin it conflicts and see if I can spare that plugin 3) buy a custom expansion

[turbid tide]

you don't need to buy it. I can just make 1 in a few seconds. the problem is that there's many expansions using the same system that you might want to use in the future and that won't work

for the same reason

anyways. if you want a fix just for this expansion, here it is

just go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions and replace the current Expansion-ScoreboardTags.jar with this jar

and then restart

[cyan canopy]

Oh how wonderful! Even though that may conflict again in the future? So the most sustainable solution is to try option 1 first?

[turbid tide]

well this exact expansion no. unless you use another version of it. but others yeah

well first, will most likely not fix but you can try. seconds is probably best

[cyan canopy]

hahaha, you have already made it! Thank you, I'll try it right away!

[languid vessel]

does it fix the error?

[turbid tide]

for this specific expansion yes

those Loaded class some.class.path from SomePlugin.... can be ignored, it's just a warning that Spigot shows because PlaceholderAPI doesn't specify that it's hooking into other plugins in its plugin.yml, but it doesn't affect anything

That's because of exploit fixer plugin or something like that

How do I clear PAPI stats? I am using ajLeaderboards and now im in a new season but the stats carried over after clearing playerdata..

[turbid tide]

ugh. ajleaderboard caches leaderboards

so you have to reset that database

[austere hawk]

i tried and he said to come here

or contact "papi support"

[turbid tide]

well what stats are you trying to reset? bcz like placeholderapi does not store any data?

every plugin stores their own data, placeholderapi just requests it and displays it

[austere hawk]

just statistic time played and player kills

[turbid tide]

that's stored in the world folder

wolrd/stats

[austere hawk]

ohhh

ok ty

[turbid tide]

or something like that

[austere hawk]

well i opened it and now the file explorer thing on minehut has crashed,

oh yeah so basically theres like thousands of .json

[turbid tide]

yeah. each file represents a player

that joined the server before

[austere hawk]

yeah i know but how am I gonna do it

there isnt a select all button on minehut

[turbid tide]

ugh. that idk

just delete the whole folder?

[austere hawk]

oh it'll remake it?

ok ill try

[plush dove]

I have an item that's name is "Farming Helmet (Farming Set)", but with color codes. How do I use checkitem to see if the name is that? Do I include the color codes?

The real name is "#9B5D29Farming Helmet &7(&bFarming Set&7)"

I tried that and it didn't work

[plush dove]

did some testing and seems like hex isnt checked

I just changed it to namecontains then

how would I make a javascript that checks if the helmet is something, if so, have 1. Then check the chestplate, if it is something, then add 1 to the first number. Same with leggings, boots, and mainhand

ok I semi got a thing for it to work

    return "4";```
So I have this, but it gives 1111. how do I add the four numbers together?

of course, I could work with 1111, but I do want to learn how to add the four numbers. Which is probably common knowledge to everyone 😅

ok, I removed the " and it works :)

[vivid sparrow]

If you are going to use Javascript, it is better to use bukkit methods

[whole dove]

hey, i was wondering how i can use placeholders inside of placeholders?

an example:

%luckperms_group_expiry_time_%luckperms_highest_group_by_weight%%

[radiant plaza]

like this %luckperms_group_expiry_time_{luckperms_highest_group_by_weight}%

[whole dove]

i tried that- maybe its a luckperms thing?

[turbid tide]

Expansions have to specifically support that

It won't work if they don't

[whole dove]

Alright, thanks

[potent oxide]

Hey, is anyone familiar with the CheckItem expansion? https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/CheckItem-Expansion

im trying to use the remove function to remove just one item. Is this possible?

%checkitem_remove_namecontains:&d&lTest Item% (This removes the whole stack of the items all named the same thing)

Using checkitem_amount just returns the amount in the inventory

[mint fable]

use the amt modifier @potent oxide

%checkitem_remove_namecontains:&d&lTest Item,amt:1%

[potent oxide]

Thanks so much 🙂

[novel socket]

Hi so I was facing this issue. And someone told me that one of my expansions might be broken. I reinstalled and updated all the expansions and still face this, issue. Can someone help me with the same

[spare flax]

Hey I'm Using NUVOTIFIER plugin and was wondering how to make it adter you vote a certain amount of times, you rank up

If you also don't know what I'm talking about go to my dms and I can tell you which server to join, as an example

@sharp jay can you help me with dis issue

i've just been waiting for so lonng, not on this server but 2 days to try to get this thing to work

[sharp jay]

Not by mentioning me

[spare flax]

please

im sorry

😭

[austere hawk]

I have this on my scoreboard "Towny: %townyadvanced_town%" it works just fine, but if I'm not in a town it doesn't show anything, how do I make it so if I'm not in a town it shows [None] instead of just showing literally nothing.

[turbid tide]

you could use the ChanteOutput expansion

%changeoutput_equals_{townyadvanced_town}__[None]_{townyadvanced_town}% something like this might work

[austere hawk]

[austere hawk]

Oh oops, my bad

[austere hawk]

when I put %playtime_time% it shows the hour minute and seconds
how do I make it so it only shows hours like this:
playtime: 2h

[turbid tide]

don't think that's something you can do. Unless PlayTime allows you to customize it inside their own config

[austere hawk]

Okay, thanks anyways (:

[plush dove]

For the checkitem placeholder can you make it ignore capitlization

[mint fable]

no, but you could use it to retrieve the info and use javascript to ignore caps

[plush dove]

[turbid tide]

download the vault expansion

/papi ecloud download vault /papi reload

[remote tulip]

I made all of these already but nothing :((

[turbid tide]

/papi dump send the generated link

[remote tulip]

okay

[turbid tide]

can you execute /papi parse me %vault_eco_balance% and see what the output is?

[remote tulip]

yes

It says 0.0

Which is good because my balance is 0

[turbid tide]

hmm. the placeholder seems to work then. What scoreboard plugin do you use?

[remote tulip]

I make my own

[turbid tide]

are you parsing placeholders?

bcz it just seems like they're not parsed

[remote tulip]

How can I do it?

Or do I need to import it within Maven?

[turbid tide]

you need to import it and use PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(Player, String);. let me get the wiki link

[remote tulip]

Oh okay

[turbid tide]

here you go https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Hook-into-PlaceholderAPI

[remote tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/713789404501508157/976543588668293200/unknown.png

what can I do with this?

[turbid tide]

send your entire pom.xml in a paste bin please: https://paste.helpch.at

[remote tulip]

Okay

[remote tulip]

https://paste.helpch.at/emixixulec.xml

Here it is

[turbid tide]

https://i.imgur.com/CUgYZAL.png you already have repositories and dependencies declared

you have to move PAPI's under those

[remote tulip]

Oh okay, I try it, thanks

[turbid tide]

like this https://paste.helpch.at/iyixowuzel.xml

[remote tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/713789404501508157/976546108073476136/unknown.png

[turbid tide]

check the paste I sent

use that

[remote tulip]

It was working

Nice

[turbid tide]

👍

[remote tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/713789404501508157/976546612866347028/unknown.png Do I need this step?

[turbid tide]

yeah. since you're going to use it in your plugin

[remote tulip]

Oh okay

[remote tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/713789404501508157/976548571685998672/unknown.png does it matter that it is with gray?

[turbid tide]

that means you've imported but you're not using it

in your actual codwe

code*

it will turn white when you'll use that class

[remote tulip]

@turbid tide Is that not the correct use of it? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/713789404501508157/976554487458177084/unknown.png

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.7

[turbid tide]

strings are not mutable. you have to work with the output of the setPlaceholders method

for example

val balanceParsed = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, egyenlegtext)```

and then you set it in the scoreboard

[remote tulip]

oh okay

[remote tulip]

Its finally working

Ahh thanks for your help 😄

[turbid tide]

no problem

[fossil sun]

Statistics placeholders don't show offline players in leaderboards, is there a way around this?

like %statistics_player_kills% or %statistics_hours_played%

[turbid tide]

the statistic expansion only works for online players. so unless whatever leaderboard plugin has a way to show offline player's stats then no

[fossil sun]

cool, thanks for answering i'll look around for a leaderboard plugin that does that

[turbid tide]

ajleaderboards

should

[median steppe]

hello

when i use this placeholding in this format it works i get the value back but when a player joins i get this error but as the owner i can join and i dont get any errors i dont understand what i did wrong

19.05 07:24:44 [Server] WARN [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected!

i have talked to Levelled mobs support and they said i would have to talk to placeholder about my issue

/papi parse me %math_{aureliumskills_power}/15%

[turbid tide]

the math expansion requires you to set a precision now %math_0_{aureliumskills_power}/15%

[median steppe]

Okay Ill try this thank you so much for your quick reply

[median steppe]

Sadly this did not work

[turbid tide]

seems like your aurelium placeholder isn ot working

if you execute /papi parse me %aureliumskills_power% what does that return?

[median steppe]

with my skills 1.88

sorry without the /15 it returns 28

[turbid tide]

I'm a bit confused. This command returns 1.88?

[median steppe]

yea if i divide it

/papi parse me %aureliumskills_power/15% like that

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me %aureliumskills_power/15% wait this exact command returns 1.88?

[median steppe]

/papi parse me %{aureliumskills_power}/15%

[turbid tide]

ugh. you mean the math one?

/papi parse me %math_0_{aureliumskills_power}/15% right?

[median steppe]

yes im sorry about that

[turbid tide]

hmm. and you still get an error?

while you execute the command I mean, if you check the console

you get an error?

[median steppe]

yea

[turbid tide]

wtf. if it works why is it erroring. hmm 1 sec

[median steppe]

it happens every time a player joins

[turbid tide]

oh. are you using the placeholder in a message or something like that?

[median steppe]

featherboard Plus Levelled Mobs*******

can that be it?

its still works though featherboard

i can see the 1.88

i'm tech using it for my server combat level

its working real well aside from the error

you may be on to something i removed it from featherboard and theres no more error

[turbid tide]

can you show the exact placeholder you have in featherboard

like copy paste it here

and put it into ` here `

so it looks like this

[median steppe]

&b&l> $setting_label-color$&lCombat Level: &b%math_{aureliumskills_power}/15%

i cant do the 0 on the scoreboard if i do it shows way do many Extra Numbers like this 1.88.888888888888888888888888888888888

but even more then that

[turbid tide]

can you put it inside ` not '

that character is above the TAB and under the Esc buttons

[median steppe]

Edited not sure if you seen it but if yea and your busy take your time to reply 🙂

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.7

[turbid tide]

hmm.

[median steppe]

o i didnt mean to ping

[turbid tide]

try %math_2:_{aureliumskills_power}/15%

[median steppe]

okay

[turbid tide]

I wonder if the scoreboard is just updated too fast and the aurelium placeholder just doesn't work bcz the player is not fully connected yet. that could also be a problem

[median steppe]

let me lower the intervals

raise i mean but no that didnt work

19.05 12:44:10 [Server] WARN [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected!
19.05 12:44:10 [Server] WARN [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_2:_{aureliumskills_power}/15%

[median steppe]

weird i think your right when i turned up the intervals then logged on again i still get the error and the placeholder breaks this time not showing the value but the placeholder itself, Then on the next update its fixes the placeholder

[turbid tide]

if you put just %aureliumskills_power% in your scoreboard does it show correctly when you join?

[median steppe]

yea it shows normally

[turbid tide]

Idk then. This is the best theory I have.

since the error you show, says its trying to divide the actual text {aureliumskills_power} by 15. so clearly the placeholder isn't parsed. And I've looked at the code and the only reason I see would be that

[median steppe]

okay well it works perfect mixing it with Levelled Mobs so worse come to worse ill just take it off the scoreboard

[turbid tide]

the thing is, the placeholder just shows fine in the scoreboard right? so the only bad part is the message that you might get spammed with.

[median steppe]

yea but only on Loggon so may i can just spam hide it

[turbid tide]

you could in theory use something like ConsoleSpamFix or whatever its called

[median steppe]

cause it does make the rpg feel so much more like a real one

yea i have it ill give it a go, But i do owe you a big Thank you for your help! and time

[turbid tide]

no problem 👍

[plush dove]

Is there a placeholder to list all the players on the bungeecord instance

[turbid tide]

just the amount. not their names

[ancient spire]

hey

is there a way to not use a placeholder by putting a certain character in front of it?

Or something of the likes

[turbid tide]

no. unless the plugin you're using it in specifically adds that.

[ancient spire]

it worked just fine but suddenly it changed and I don't know why

I've tried disabling my latest installed extensions but that didn't fix the issue either

[turbid tide]

as I was saying, that was never a thing in PlaceholderAPI itself. Unless the plugin you were using it in had this specific functionality.

[ancient spire]

ok

Can I disable papi via command?

to check if that fixes the issue

[turbid tide]

the entire plugin? no.

if you want to disable it, remove it from the plugins folder and restart the server

[ancient spire]

btw there was a placeholder I unregistered and now I can't get it back

is that normal?

[turbid tide]

what placeholderand how did you unregister it

[ancient spire]

The placeholder was called "regionclaimplus" ||https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/regionclaimplus-full-recode-extremely-configurable-1-8-1-18.94961/||
I uninstalled it via command (unregister)

[turbid tide]

mind executing /papi dump and sending the generated link here please.

[ancient spire]

https://paste.helpch.at/+++++++

[turbid tide]

its fine to send plugin links here btw. as long as you're not directly advertising like "buy my plugin" its absolutely fine

[turbid tide]

if you restart the server its still not working?

[ancient spire]

ah ok good to know

[ancient spire]

I'm doing that rn

[turbid tide]

have you restarted since you've unregistered it?

alr. do that and let me know

[ancient spire]

I removed it from the plugins folder and just added it again

It still sees player as a placeholder even though papi wasn't even installed anymore

Any idea why that is?

[turbid tide]

%player% is not a PlaceholderAPI placeholder

that's probably an internal placeholder of that specific plugin

[ancient spire]

It's just player actually

that's why I was confused

[turbid tide]

every PlaceholderAPI placeholder has a specific pattern

%identifier_<arguments>%

if it doesn't look like that its not a PlaceholderAPI placeholder

[ancient spire]

could it be essentials that messes with the chat format?

[turbid tide]

hmm? what would?

ohh

misunderstood the question

I mean essentials only changes the format if you have the EssentialsChat plugin installed

[ancient spire]

prefixes:

• default;&a**[Player]** &f;&a[Player] &f

the [player] is used as a placeholder for some reason

[turbid tide]

I mean as I've said before, its most likely something that the chat you use for formatting has built in

plugins can make their own internal placeholders not related to PlaceholderAPI

so most likely whatever chat formatting plugin you use, has one

[fluid yacht]

Hey, how would I set the material of a delxue menu itemto the item that successfully trigers %checkitem_mat:SHIELD,namecontains:&fSteel Guard%

Or alternatively does anyone know how to get the output of what slot # the checkitem placeholder finds an item in?

[austere hawk]

Does anyone know why this doesn't work? %math_%bungee_Hub-1%+%bungee_Hub-2%%
And presents this error
[00:55:21 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Invalid Placeholder detected! [00:55:21 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_% [00:55:21 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '' is not a valid Math Expression.

[vivid sparrow]

Use {bungee_Hub-#}

[stark shard]

No one here is paid to help, so do not beg. People volunteer to help here

U need to download protocollib plugin

Also replace Essentials with ForgeEssentials since u arent using bukkit

Also I dont think papi works on non bukkit servers

Unless u have a reason, i suggest using paper as ur jar file and use plugins not mods

Mods are mainly for singeplayer worlds

[carmine veldt]

nonsense

many, many mods are made with multiplayer in mind

think your vault expansion may be corrupted, try redownloading

the vault expansion

[austere hawk]

Just /papi reload

No need to restart

[ancient spire]

How can I register an extension that I have previously deleted?

it shows when I type /papi list but it doesn't work

ok wait a sec

[turbid tide]

not exactly. you're doing a bunch of math operations and comparison in strings. plus you're using arguments in strings. that won't work. you need to concatenate. and also you don't use the amount variable at all

[ancient spire]

can you dm me so I can send it to you please :D

[plush dove]

Sorry, I have basically 0 experience. So I need to move the argument and math operations out of the string, would this be it:

  if (args[1] > "1") {
    return eco give %player_name% args[1]*%deluxeshop_{args[0]},buy%;
  }
  return "msg dunescifye no";
}```

[turbid tide]

no. put it in a paste bin: https://paste.helpch.at

it's already a txt file

or is this different?

ah I see

[turbid tide]

yeah. you place text there, and it generates a custom link so I don't need to download anything

and you don't need to send files

[plush dove]

wouldnt the amount variable be args[1]

[turbid tide]

no. args are different

they're what you call in a placeholder

ahh ok
