[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]

👍

[novel socket]

Heyaaa! So I am using Mc 1.18.2 and papi 2.11.1 . But Everytime the server restarts or startup papi seems to stop working and only works after /papi reload. Can someone help me out with this issue?

[manic sedge]

Could you please tell me you solved this problem? I have the same problem as you. I am using papi 2.11.1 too. And i tried to use akarin 1.12.2 and purpur 1.18.2(1623) as server software. i tried to use dragonwell and zulu as jvm. This problem always happened.

[novel socket]

I couldnt

[manic sedge]

incomprehensible error.. pls let me know if you solve it, thanks :)

[cyan canopy]

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]

welp its b. now we need to find out why its not loading. can you restart your server and generate a startup log?

and then send it here

[turbid tide]

read the above ^

[cyan canopy]

https://paste.helpch.at/idanuzagim.sql

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

[languid vessel]

aight

btw

do i need to care about this?

[junior musk]

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

[radiant plaza]

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

You can fix it dw

[junior musk]

also, MilkBowl is the author of Vault :D nothing else

[radiant plaza]

Slide into DMs if you need assistance

[junior musk]

That's not the actual problem

he thought milkbowl meant there was an issue with milk

[radiant plaza]

Are you sure about that

[junior musk]

pretty sure yeah

if you look at the discussion, it's pretty clear...

[radiant plaza]

But by looking at his msg, we can figure out that he is having issue with using milk

[junior musk]

he's asking if it can cause issue with players not being able to drink milk

well, you know what

[junior musk]

do yo have an issue wth milk?

[austere hawk]

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

[spare flax]

ok

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]

TYSM

[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]

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

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

[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

[turbid tide]

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

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]

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 🙂

[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!

[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

I’ve tries to add it back but it’s not working for me :c

[ancient spire]

ah and btw I don't get any errors in the console

[stark shard]

So restart the server

[plush dove]

https://paste.helpch.at/sebafexiqo.js I have this javascript, would this be correct in storing the placeholder %checkitem_give_mat:{deluxeshop_{args[0]},name},amt:{deluxeshop_currentAmount}% as a variable and using it in a function?

[turbid tide]

can you send your startup log please? restart the server first to generate a new one

[ancient spire]

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

[ancient spire]

it's already a txt file

[turbid tide]

and you copy the content and put it on that website and send the link

[ancient spire]

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

[plush dove]

ahh ok

Im an idiot for not realizing that

how would I go about storing it in a variable?

[turbid tide]

for example if my placeholder is named test and I do %javascript_test_ARG0,ARG1% I'd have arg[0] which would be ARG0

and arg[1] which would be ARG1

[plush dove]

👍 got it

could you give me a quick example of storing something in a variable?

[turbid tide]

I'm already working on editing your code

[plush dove]

oh, ok, thank you. Sorry for the trouble

[ancient spire]

should I send it again?

[turbid tide]

is there a reason you're making variables?

for stone for example

[turbid tide]

nah. I've seen it. will take a look in a second

[ancient spire]

ok thank you ^^

[plush dove]

So I have a shop made from DeluxeMenus, and when players buy items, sometimes they buy more than their max amount of items they can hold. The checkitem placeholder gives a number if the player can't hold the excess, so I was going to use that number and multiply it by the price of that item, which I use the item variable to check the item price, and then give the player that amount of money

[turbid tide]

hmm. that's strange. I've took a look and [18:20:53] [Server thread/INFO]: [PlaceholderAPI] Successfully registered expansion: regionclaimplus [1.1.4]

[ancient spire]

it's detected as placeholder

it just doesn't work

[turbid tide]

oh

have you tested them with /papi parse me?

[ancient spire]

when I type /papi list then it even displays it as green

[ancient spire]

oh that's a good idea

[turbid tide]

if you do /papi parse me %regionclaimplus_region_name% for example

what does it say?

[ancient spire]

it's a blank message

[turbid tide]

I'm not really sure how this code will help with thatbut I'll make the code work

[turbid tide]

then the placeholder works I guess. I assume you're not in a region

since it shows empty

[ancient spire]

ah now it works

but it displays the region name instead of the owner

oh wait

nvm xD

ah yea it works in a region

[turbid tide]

I assume its supposed to return an empty string when you're not in a region

and that's what's happening

[ancient spire]

it just says my username

that's it

1 sec

Claim of %regionclaimplus_region_owner%
Lyox (my username)

[turbid tide]

it says that where?

[ancient spire]

the first line when I enter the region

and the second one when I use parse me

[turbid tide]

it still shows as %regionclaimplus_region_owner%

[ancient spire]

yes

[turbid tide]

instead of what its supposed to?

but if you try it with /papi parse me %regionclaimplus_region_owner% it works?

[ancient spire]

yea

[turbid tide]

what plugin do you show to send the message?

[ancient spire]

Claim of (username)

[turbid tide]

wait. so its working or not? bcz I'm getting confused

xD

[ancient spire]

I use RegionClaimsPlus

[ancient spire]

it's only working when I use parse me

so the command

not in the config file for some reason

[turbid tide]

then I'm assuming whatever you use to send the message doesn't support PAPI

[ancient spire]

it does

[turbid tide]

possibly just in that specific space.

[turbid tide]

hmm. if you use another placeholder it works?

[ancient spire]

mh that's odd

in the config?

[turbid tide]

yeah

in that same place

where this one is not working

[ancient spire]

there are just 2 placeholders

and none of them works

I've tried that already

[turbid tide]

yeah but any PlaceholderAPI placeholder

like %player_name%

[cold temple]

Just updated to 1.18.2 to see the damage 💀
I get this error, what's the issue https://pastebin.com/wVvZe7gq

[mint fable]

update your expansions

I'd recommend all of them

[ancient spire]

oof it doesnt :c

[turbid tide]

yeah. specifically server expansion but all of them won't hurt

[ancient spire]

flags:
  - use: "allow"
  - pvp: "allow"
  - fire-spread: "deny"

  - greeting: "Claim of &d%player_namer%"
    # everybody but the owner will be greeted
    group: "all"

    # allow both owners and friends to break/place
  - block-place: "allow"
    group: "members"
  - block-break: "allow"
    group: "members"

  - feed-delay: "2"
  - heal-max-health: "3.5"`

[turbid tide]

then yeah. the problem is with the message itself

[ancient spire]

Did I do something wrong in the conifg?

[turbid tide]

it doesn't accept PlaceholderAPI placeholders there

in that specific message

most likely

maybe contact the plugin's author

[ancient spire]

ah that sounds like a good plan :D

Thank you for your help ^^

[turbid tide]

no problem

here you go @plush dove https://paste.helpch.at/okunigutir.js

if it doesn't work try this one instead: https://paste.helpch.at/karoyarewe.js

[mint fable]

how can we tell if parseInt fails @turbid tide

because it will return yes if all are given

[turbid tide]

I mean idk. I just made his code work. at least that's what I thought. I don't even know if it will do what they want

[mint fable]

ye ik

[turbid tide]

it will error out xD

that's how you know

[mint fable]

ya...

[cold temple]

https://pastebin.com/Q8zbaTtH Hmm I did /papi ecloud update all and restarted
looks like they are all updated, it is saying at the bottom there are 8 placeholder hooks in need of updating though o.o

[mint fable]

maybe this https://paste.helpch.at/unemigufug.js @plush dove

[turbid tide]

that thing is a bit broken. if there's expansions that have the same name it doesn't check.

[cold temple]

Gotcha kk 😛

[plush dove]

I'll just try them all

[mint fable]

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

[plush dove]

this gave me https://paste.helpch.at/oxevejivay.cs

[mint fable]

fix it on the top, add the s

setPlaceholders

instead of setPlaceholder

[plush dove]

👍 works great!

what can I put for the bottom part

if they have enough inventory space

can I just put blank and it wont send any console command?

[mint fable]

sure

might say unknown command in console

but

[turbid tide]

it will send. just empty. you might get an unknown command message

[plush dove]

yep, I changed it to [takemoney] and now I'm working on a message for it

'[message] %changeoutput_>=_{javascript_buymore_{item}}_1_Your inventory didn''t have enough space, giving {math_{javascript_buymore_{item}}*{deluxeshop_{item},buy}}_${math_{deluxeshop_currentAmount}*{deluxeshop_{item},buy}} has been taken out of your account%'

Unfortuntely this doesnt work 😅

[mint fable]

why would you use changeoutput instead of just using javascript to send the messages you want to

[plush dove]

Yea, too many nested placeholderes

ahhh

your righttt

[mint fable]

also, you'd be parsing the give placeholder twice

[plush dove]

AHH your right

[plush dove]

could I have another argument in the placeholder, like %javascript_buymore_{item},arg2%, and the arg2 argument either gives an amount of money to give back, or give a message

so for example %javascript_buymore_{item},1% would give me the amount of money to give back to the player, and I would use that placeholder in the [givemoney] action

But if I do %javascript_buymore_{item},2% it would give me the message saying how much money is given back and I would use that placeholder in the [message] action

ugh this wouldnt work because the giveitem checkitem placeholder is still parsed twice...

[junior musk]

use , instead of _ for multiple arguments in js

[plush dove]

oh ok

nothing works since I can only have the placeholder parsed once...

if I let it run the command eco give, then it would say taken $200 and then give $200, which looks ugly

[mint fable]

what if you use the js expansion to give the money as well

instead of take, only give

and only through a js placeholder response

[plush dove]

hmm

yea I could

thanks

[plush dove]

is there a way to have two console inputs in one [console] action?

so like [console] give %player_name% 100 +++ say hi

hmm well nvm I'll just do what you suggested

alright yea this is too complex, ima just, leave it with no message :)

[minor sinew]

Hello, is there a javascript addon for java 8?

how do i add kills and deaths ?

or the place holder for it?

[civic solstice]

how can i display online player from one off my servers on a bungeecord?

[radiant plaza]

Use bungeecord expansion

[civic solstice]

it doesn't work, but i think if i use the server selector x i can use their placeholders

[radiant plaza]

/papi ecloud download Bungee

/papi reload

Use placeholder %bungee_<servername>%

[radiant plaza]

Imagine using a plugin just for one placeholder

@lean wyvern use pastebin

?paste

[lean wyvern]

sorry

[civic solstice]

https://imgur.com/a/NQy6vBt i am in the lobby and its zero

[lean wyvern]

Someone know how to solve this error? https://paste.helpch.at/anodawojif.sql

[radiant plaza]

Try %bungee_total%

[civic solstice]

one, its right, but i what to display this by server, on a scoreboard

[radiant plaza]

You're in vanish mode i guess

[civic solstice]

no vanish don't exists on this server

[lean wyvern]

The placeholders dont work, i need to reload the plugin, but if my server has a restart, the placeholder doesnt work

[lean wyvern]

someone know how to solve this?

[placid light]

one very simple question
i can't seem to find in code, related to Pinger PAPI expansion
there is generated option in PlaceholderAPI folder in config.yml called pinger.check_interval and by default it's 30
is 30 here ticks or seconds?

Thank you in advance!

[ancient spire]

Is there a placeholder that lets me display prefixes?

[radiant plaza]

yessss

[ancient spire]

which one?

[ancient spire]

what is it called?

[radiant plaza]

you can use vault expansion or luckperms placeholder or cmi/essentials placeholders as well

[ancient spire]

I have installed those

but it doesn’t work for me

maybe I‘m just typing it wrong

:/

[ancient spire]

what is the placeholder %xxx% ?

[radiant plaza]

What 😕

[radiant plaza]

are you using luckperms plugin for prefixes??

[ancient spire]

I don’t think so

[radiant plaza]

then which plugin you're using?

[ancient spire]

It’s called LuckTab

but it has no placeholders

I use LuckPerms for groups tho

[radiant plaza]

bruhh

that's outdated

[ancient spire]

it is

but it still works

[radiant plaza]

okay wait

@ancient spire run /papi ecloud download LuckPerms

'/papi reload' after that

[ancient spire]

and what is the placeholder?

[radiant plaza]

%luckperms_prefix%

[ancient spire]

thank you 😄

[radiant plaza]

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

[turbid tide]

I don't think that's currently possible. no

well not exactly a PAPI issue. more like an outdated expansion. You could open a Pull Request on the expansion's page for this but idk who if anyone is maintaining the expansion anymore

no problem

[steady girder]

Hey, Having a problem with PAPI and DeulxeTags. Everything is fine upon first install, but after a reload of papi all placeholders don't work. No errors in console. Anyone seen this before?

[turbid tide]

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

[steady girder]

https://paste.helpch.at/fugiqufefa

[turbid tide]

go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ and delete Expansion-DeluxeTags_rqTVvkd.jar then restart the server. Everything should work fine after.

no need to download the external expansion after btw. that's what breaks it.

the expansion is not needed since 1.8.1 or 1.8.2

of deluxetags

[steady girder]

noted

its been a while

[turbid tide]

👍

[plush dove]

how do I make a math placeholder that doesnt give decimals

I did %math_2:0_100/sqrt({clv_player_level})% but if the placeholder is high enough, it gives me a number like 3.2

nvm doing 1 fixes it

no it doesnt

[stable ridge]

what is the kills and deaths placeholder ?

[balmy marten]

dm me a username and email you'd like and I'll create it on my end

[long steppe]

👍

[radiant plaza]

Statistic expansion

[radiant plaza]

Use precision and rounding

[plush dove]

I have 2 as the precision but it can give me stuff like 3.2

how can I view my coordinates?

I can't find a placeholder for that on the website :c

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

[austere hawk]

Is there a player count placeholder that doesnt count vanished and spectator players?

[vivid sparrow]

player expansion

[vivid sparrow]

if you are using essentials, I think there's %essentials_safe_online% that ignore vanished players, but not gm3 I guess

[ancient spire]

I have that one installed but I can't find the placeholder :/

[vivid sparrow]

%player_x% %player_y% %player_z%

[ancient spire]

ty

[static epoch]

.

[vivid sparrow]

ask them

[plush dove]

for math, can I have placeholders within placeholders

like %math_1:0_{changeoutput_equals_{checkitem_inslot:39,mat:LEATHER_HELMET,namecontains:Farming Helmet &7(&bFarming Set&7)}_yes_1_0}+{changeoutput_equals_{checkitem_inslot:38,mat:LEATHER_CHESTPLATE,namecontains:Farming Chestplate &7(&bFarming Set&7)}_yes_1_0}

[turbid tide]

no

[plush dove]

👍

[turbid tide]

if you want complex stuff like this you might want to try one of the scripting expansions

like the javascript one

[raven sparrow]

Is there anything that displays a player’s experience overall

[turbid tide]

%player_levels%

[plush dove]

I already have it on a JavaScript thing, but I'm passing the placeholder a lot, and it sometimes creates lag. I was trying to test if using JavaScript or putting it all in math would be less laggy

[vivid sparrow]

Time for an actual expansion and apis over placeholders

[austere hawk]

Try using the shortcut expansion if you want to nest more stuff

[static epoch]

OK

[full cedar]

Can we merge the value of two placeholders?

[stark shard]

Wym by that? Like have them together?

If so just do %placeholder% %otherplaceholder%

And it could be like world and time next to eachother

[full cedar]

No

I mean is

Like I'm using bungee placeholders

And in my lobby server

I setuped a hologram

Showing how much players in my minigames server

So I want to merge the two placeholders of both minigames and one more server

Like %bungee_minigames_minigames2%

Like it will merge the value of both placeholder and show it in 1 number

[buoyant tide]

Math expansion

[full cedar]

Can u help me pls

[buoyant tide]

I just did?

[full cedar]

But how ?

@buoyant tide

How to do that idk about that

[stark shard]

Scroll to math https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#math

I never used it before

Maybe something like …[placeholder]+[secondplaceholder]

Use {} sorry

@full cedar

[full cedar]

Okay

Let me try it

I also never used it

Like I have to merge both of this so what I have to do

%bungee_server1%

%bungee_server2%

[stark shard]

Maybe %math_{bungee_server1}+{bungee_server2}%

[full cedar]

Hmm okay let me try

[stark shard]

U could use javascript possible

[full cedar]

Wth

When I added math expansion

Other Placeholders also stopped working

It ruined my all placeholders

[buoyant tide]

Just from adding math expansion?

[full cedar]

Ye

And then doing /papi reload

[buoyant tide]

All placeholders? Or just some?

[full cedar]

Bungee

[buoyant tide]

Try a server restart

[turbid tide]

Reatart the server and send the startup log here

[ancient spire]

Is there a placeholder to display the overworld coordinates in the nether?

[turbid tide]

you can use math

[ancient spire]

oh I can?

how

like display it the right way already

[turbid tide]

yeah. just multiply the coordinates by 8

%math_{player_x}*8%

[ancient spire]

thank you ^^

[full cedar]

Whenever I download math

Placeholderapi stops working

It's says this version is compiled with the most recent version 55 and something

[turbid tide]

yeah. you need java 11

to run the math expansion

[full cedar]

Can't it work in 8?

Bec my server version is 1.8.8

[turbid tide]

nope.

and if you're on 1.8.8, switch to paper. paper 1.8.8 will work with java 11

[full cedar]

It not works

I'm using paper

It create a huge log

Whatever let me try

Still

It creates a very endless log

If I use java 11 with 1.8.8

Isn't any other way I can do that?

I updated the server to 1.12 and all started working

[fading wave]

Hello

I have a problem when I try to put the extension TownyChat but when I /papi reload, placeholderapi crashes.

seems like you don't actually have the TownyChat plugin installed?

No ah ok I have to install it, I'll see if it works

It creates a huge error with 1.8

[hollow tusk]

Hello im trying to use placeholder api and CheckItem-Expansion for the plugin conditional event in order to check if a player has an item so that if they don't I can give it to them but I get a warning when doing this:
'%checkitem_mat:EMERALD,nameequals:&5&lMenu% !equals execute actions1'

[pliant pulsar]

I have some regions created to use them as shops, and when that shop is rented by a player it works perfectly (it is a separate plugin that is linked to WG), the user can place, break, etc but when I use this placeholder I get an empty result:

https://i.gyazo.com/a76911c7b736ed5a7717755db8416b99.png

i using 1.18.2

PAPI: 2.11.1

%worldguard_region_owner:Lobby,-42,84,-486%

Returns an empty string.

%worldguard_<Any WG Placeholder>:<World>,<X>,<Y>,<Z>%

[mint fable]

haven't looked into the plugin conditional event yet, but do you need to compare it to something? I see !equals but it doesn't compare it to yes or no

just checked, seems accurate

[hollow tusk]

i see I was just doing it wrong, im trying to learn and don't really understand how !equals works I also can't find and answer to it online is there like wiki or cheatsheet to see what these all mean:
equals
!equals
equalsIgnoreCase
startsWith
ect?

[mint fable]

https://ajneb97.gitbook.io/conditionalevents/

so if you want to check if the player does NOT have the item use this

'%checkitem_mat:EMERALD,nameequals:&5&lMenu% equals no'

then you put whatever action you want in the actions:

[hollow tusk]

ooooooh I see thank youuu!

[mint fable]

👍

[pliant pulsar]

? 😔

[mint fable]

anything in console?

is there an owner?

[pliant pulsar]

Nothing in console 😦

Yes, of course, there an owner

[mint fable]

does region_name return the region name there?

[pliant pulsar]

Wait, in the config where the region is the owners: {} is empty, I'm using AdvancedRegionMarket, maybe I'm doing something wrong and that's why it's not the owner, although it's strange because before in 1.18.1 it worked for me, it stopped working when I updated to 1.18.2.

Anyway, it's quite late and I'm working in 5 hours, tomorrow I'll be here and I'll tell you if I've solved it or not...

Thx 🙂

[mint fable]

/rg info <region> would show you the direct owner via wg

[pliant pulsar]

👍

[mint fable]

it'll probably only work when the other person is online, but you can use parseother

Hi guys, I created a plug-in with the use of placeholderapi. I used JAVA 8 in 1.16.5 but unfortunately placeholders are not registered in 1.18 with java 17, what could I do in your opinion to create a multicompatibility?

[steep knot]

hello, how instal PAPI on network (velo + paper servers)? i need drop jarFile to all servers or only velocity prexy plugins folder?

[turbid tide]

all servers. no proxy support as of now

[pliant pulsar]

Yesterday it didn't work for me, I don't know why, today I have reset the config of that plugin and the placeholder is working, it must have been some casual error I imagine without importance, certainly too rare because I haven't touched anything. head-%worldguard_region_owner:Lobby,-15,84,-485%

[pliant pulsar]

Sorry Barry

It don't appear look

[mint fable]

no config made?

[austere hawk]

no

[mint fable]

I'd say try reinstalling the plugin

[austere hawk]

I did

Nothing changed

[mint fable]

I'm near the end of my thoughts

only other thing I can think is maybe 1.8 is too old? (specifically 1.8)

maybe try 1.8.8 or 1.8.9 if you can?

Other than that, just wait here and hopefully somebody else can help

[austere hawk]

I will try a sec

no

[deft anvil]

Hello, I'm attempting to use PlaceholderAPI#setPlaceholders but I also have a custom placeholder I use within my plugin, being %PREFIX% which I use within my Locale.
I'm having a weird issue where when the message is being parsed, PAPI is translating but then it is leaving my %PREFIX% placeholder in lower-case.

Parsing: %PREFIX% %vault_rank_prefix% %player_name% but output is
%prefix% [Owner] Oliver

Anyone have any ideas?

[sharp jay]

@deft anvil %PREFIX% is not a placeholder

Ohhh

is /papi parse me %PREFIX% displaying anything?

[deft anvil]

%PREFIX% is a placeholder I use internally

The issue is, I'm using #setPlaceholders, then the string being returned is in broken case, meaning my internal %PREFIX% placeholder isn't being translated

No

[silver minnow]

nvm

pretty sure I heard this issue before

lemme see if I can find a response

[deft anvil]

'%STAFF_PREFIX% %PLAYER%&r &7has joined &9%SERVER%&7.'
being parsed through #setPlaceholders outputs
%staff_PREFIX% %player% has joined %server%.
meaning my code won't replace, because of the change in case

[mint fable]

I have also noticed this

it happens with setBracketPlaceholders too

I think an issue was opened

sadly the latest build still has the issue

[deft anvil]

I had an existing language system, but wanted to support PAPI also, so people could add custom placeholders from external plugins, but this is my current issue

[mint fable]

there is no issue opened

hmm https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/issues/666

[deft anvil]

I'm out of date?

[mint fable]

It looks like this issue has re-emerged then? @carmine veldt I'll tag you since I see you touched this last

[mint fable]

I've tried the latest dev version of papi and it still happened to me with setBracketPlaceholders

latest dev build is here https://ci.extendedclip.com/job/Placeholderapi/

so maybe it was fixed for setPlaceholder

give it a try and let me know

[deft anvil]

Generated: May 25, 2022 8:35:03 PM UTC PlaceholderAPI: 2.11.1
I'll have a try with the dev build

imma be apologizing to piggy soon I bet

Pretty sure they fixed it. Might not be on Jenkins yet tho

[mint fable]

[plush dove]

is there a way to turn something like COOKED_PORKCHOP into Cooked Porkchop?

[mint fable]

javascript

[plush dove]

If you have time, could you give me a general example on how I would go about doing it?

[mint fable]

const mySentence = "HelpChat is an awesome discord";
const words = mySentence.split(" ");

for (let i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
    words[i] = words[i][0].toUpperCase() + words[i].substr(1);
}```
<https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-capitalize-words-in-javascript/>

[vivid sparrow]

For one letter words substr(1) will throw an erro

[jolly crystal]

You could just use minecrafts method. I'm not on PC right now so I'll get it later.

I think it's like Matetial.<material>.getLocalizedName() or something like that.

[ebon flicker]

Hello !
I don't know if I'm dumb or what, but PAPI doesn't replace placeholders in this code 🤔 :

                    Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(player -> {
                        String messageReplaced = MessageUtils.setupMessage(player, tournamentMessage.getMessage());
                        player.sendMessage(messageReplaced);
                    });

It works in others messages, but it looks like it doesn't work in forEach 🤔

[turbid tide]

what's this method? MessageUtils#setupMessage

[ebon flicker]

    @NotNull
    public static String setupMessage(Player player, String message) {
        return translateHexColorCodes(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, translateHexColorCodes(message)));
    }

Ah, just saw I have 2x the same method

But w/e that's not the problem

[turbid tide]

are you sure the placeholders work at all on your server? have you tested them with /papi parse for example?

[ebon flicker]

.....

Well, I was right, I'm dumb.

Was using the wrong placeholder 😒

[turbid tide]

👍

[ebon flicker]

Sorry for this waste of time and ty for your help

[turbid tide]

yeah. except that's the JS expansion. Its a lot more harder to get that. And yeah the localized name is in the ItemMeta. You have to first make an item stack, then get the meta, then get the localized name.

but it would be better as it would change based on the player's language I guess.

[plush dove]

This would be a lot better, since I'm just trying to get the localized name of the held item. This doesn't work, it just gives me blank

[turbid tide]

well yeah. its a lot more complicated than what yapper gave you

[austere hawk]

Hi, will math placeholder api work in my own plugin?

[turbid tide]

you have to add support for PlaceholderAPI yourself

and it now works

but also doesnt

it now gives me "Discord" as the output every time

[turbid tide]

send the code again

@plush dove

you can try this but not sure if it will work https://paste.helpch.at/inewuhinit.cs

[plush dove]

Yep, that works!

thanks!

[plush dove]

https://paste.helpch.at/nudecaduma.cs would this be correct in making it all lowercase first, then capitalizing the first letters?

[plush dove]

https://paste.helpch.at/nudecaduma.cs I have this code and I'm trying to make something like COOKED_PORKCHOP into Cooked Porkchop. The capilization of the first letter works, but that only works if its all lowercase. So I'm trying to transform it into all lowercase by adding mySentence.toLowerCase(); on the third line, but it seems to not affect the result and return it in all caps without the underscore. If I remove the for loop and keep the toLowerCase(), then it returns in all lowercase. What did I do wrong?

[toxic garden]

Where is there a list of everything that I parsed?

[mint fable]

remove that and use var mySentence = args[0].toLowerCase() at the top

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to make a top 5 ranking of the players who have broken the most blocks etc... ?

[limber ice]

    public boolean canRegister() {
        return (plugin = (Statz) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin(getRequiredPlugin())) != null;
    }```

I checked this morning to make sure it was not a missing description in the Statz jar, it is not missing

[slate glade]

Hey, none of my placeholders work, like nothing. I tryed to delete the plugin folder than restart it, and redowloaded the expanisons

after i restart the server again

all of them are broken

any ideas why?

i need an response asap

[austere hawk]

send the startup log

[slate glade]

one sec

[slate glade]

https://paste.helpch.at/ovoxolazuz.md

here u go

[austere hawk]

my god that's a mess

Seems like PAPI started up correctly though

@slate glade Can you do /papi reload and see if there's anything in the console?

And which placeholders aren't working?

[vivid sparrow]

@limber ice send the full code

[limber ice]

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

[vivid sparrow]

You are using plugin on getVersion(), and at the point getVersion() is called by papi, the variable is null

[limber ice]

that would be version of Statz?

would this work return String.valueOf(1.4);

since I can not fix Statz 1.4

that seem to work, now to test the placeholders

[slate glade]

ok so now all the placeholders work, jus the itemsadder ones don't

and they just stopped working out of the blue

[rain delta]

Having trouble on relational placeholders

      return "%luckperms_suffix%";
    } else {
    return "%luckperms_prefix%";
    }
  }```
I'm trying to check the receivers 'pack' variable and execute this statement

[junior musk]

is the pack variable another PAPI placeholder?

[vivid sparrow]

is that javascript?

because if you are trying to get the actual suffix/prefix, currently that doesn't also parse the placeholders, it will literally be %luckperms_[suffix/prefix]%

[junior musk]

I ended up making him an expansion

he wanted to use relational placeholders to check if the viewer had the pack or not

[rain delta]

I had to make a separate plugin

Got that figured out

%progress_bar_{math_{vault_eco_balance}/{prisonranksx_nextprestige_cost}}_c:&b■_p:&f■_r:&7■_l:10_m:100_fullbar:&fReady to &f/prestige%
A much simpler issue I'm dealing with is this placeholder telling me this error:

[slow thorn]

somebody know what % is claims blocks?

[mint fable]

you're missing a precision, I added 0 which will round it to a whole number.
%progress_bar_{math_0_{vault_eco_balance}/{prisonranksx_nextprestige_cost}}_c:&b■_p:&f■_r:&7■_l:10_m:100_fullbar:&fReady to &f/prestige%
