[stoic garnet]

do you know how to set a team for this %team_prefix%

[mint fable]

it's vanilla teams

I think you'd need a custom plugin

[tame willow]

Are there any difference between %statistic_hours_played% and %statistic_time_played:hours%?

[stoic garnet]

yea

[mint fable]

[stoic garnet]

so do i do %team_prefix_<team_name>%

[tame willow]

I couldn't understand

[mint fable]

no difference

[tame willow]

thanks

[mint fable]

ah, it's only for your current team

[stoic garnet]

how do i change that

or is there no way

[mint fable]

I don't think there's a way

[stoic garnet]

sadge

[mint fable]

do you use the prefixes elsewhere?

[stoic garnet]

wdym

[mint fable]

idk, above names or something

i don't really know how teams work in vanilla

[stoic garnet]

i use the suffix as a timer

[mint fable]

could you store it to a custom objective instead?

[stoic garnet]

i could try

[tame willow]

One more question
when I try papi parse MetuMortis %statistic_hours_played% from console it logs blank string. Does this mean player must be in the game to use this placeholder

[mint fable]

i should think about using vanilla objectives to store data more often

[mint fable]

yes

they gotta be online

[tame willow]

thanks

[stoic garnet]

Oops, sorry

[stoic garnet]

can someone help me with this?

[toxic nest]

is this correct way of detecting if at least 1 requirement is true?

    view_requirement:
      minimum_requirements: 1
      requirements:
        tier_1: # This requirement will check if they have the rank, and if they do it will show the has_vip item instead.
          type: string equals ignorecase
          input: '%custom_placeholder%'
          output: '1'
        perm_1:
          type: "has permission"
          permission: floor.staff

I tried this and it only check the permission one for some reason, if the permission is false it blocks the view

[mint fable]

stop_at_success: true

not really #placeholder-api related

You're asking for a very customized project to be done

It's not just basic plugin or placeholder help

I am currently busy, if I have free time, I will make it. But until then your best bet is #992627658229809162 or #992627660146626601

[stoic garnet]

alright i guess

[mint fable]

If you wanted "help" then you would try and learn some javascript or at least explain what you want done so people CAN help you

[cosmic needle]

cj is a busy lad

[mint fable]

I'm not going to lie, most of my javascript just comes from me googling "xyz javascript"

well does anyone know how to use the teams placeholder api

[mint fable]

just state what you want to do

if people can help, they will

but they won't know if they can help until you fully lay it out for them

[stoic garnet]

im trying to make a timer on my sidebar that i made with a plugin called "TAB" and the minigame that i made was made in datapacks therefore its kinda hard to transfer stuff like team suffixes and team prefixes and all that stuff so i was wondering if placeholder could help since it probably has something

[steep talon]

Is there a way to have a leaderboard with top ingame moneymaker of the week, that auto resets. SImilar to how topvoter of the month works?

[red prairie]

how do i import placeholder api into my plugin via POM

[mint fable]

@stoic garnet looking at the scoreboardobjectives extension, it doesn't look like it's possible to do what you want

[stoic garnet]

oh

[mint fable]

There is no way to tell what position a certain entry is on the leaderboard

Is there a maximum number of teams?

it would then be more do-able

[stoic garnet]

8

[mint fable]

always 8 or no

[stoic garnet]

always 8

[mint fable]

How do you know which team you're on?

%team_name%?

I presume that would work, ye?

I started work, will lyk when I finish prob later tonight

[stoic garnet]

i think it would

[stoic garnet]

alright ty

[stoic garnet]

also just dm me the script when it’s done since I’ll probably be asleep when it’s ready

Morning, so i was using CheckItem-Expansion yesterday and found an issue with nbtstrings

Im using 1.19, but this morning i found a solution and just wanted to ask if it could be updated. All that needs to happen is the dependencies in the pom need updating

Like below and this seems to fix the issue i was having with nbt not working```
<artifactId>spigot-api</artifactId>
<version>1.19-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

        <artifactId>placeholderapi</artifactId>
        <version>2.11.2</version>

        <artifactId>item-nbt-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.10.0</version>```

If it could be updated officially that would be amazing

[stone edge]

It definitely does, 2.9.2 works til 1.18 only. Maybe make a PR

[mint fable]

thanks fyi

[thorn snow]

No probs buddy

[mint fable]

@stoic garnet yo

[stoic garnet]

yo

[mint fable]

lot more complicated than originally thought

but what if you're 1st/2nd place

what do the other lines show

[stoic garnet]

lemme check 1 sec

[mint fable]

1. 1st place
2. One above you
3. You
4. One below you

[stoic garnet]

when your in first it shows the 3 teams behind u

[mint fable]

If first

1. 1st place
2. 2nd place
3. 3rd place
4. 4th place

[stoic garnet]

yea

[mint fable]

same thing for 2nd?

[stoic garnet]

yep

and its basically the same logic for 7th and 8th

[mint fable]

so uh

[stoic garnet]

if your 8th/7th
5. 5th place
6. 6th place
7. 7th place
8. 8th place

[mint fable]

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

wait

[mint fable]

what is this

you want it to show ALL teams?

I thought you wanted first place, one above you, you, one below you

[stoic garnet]

nonono

[mint fable]

do you want 8 lines?

[stoic garnet]

thats if your 8th or 7th

[mint fable]

because you just did 5 6 7 8

[stoic garnet]

wait

[mint fable]

it should show like this

[mint fable]

this

yes?

[stoic garnet]

oh wait

im so stupid LMFAO

[mint fable]

if you're 8th though, do you want to show 2 people above you instead of 1 above/below?

[stoic garnet]

yea

[mint fable]

okay well try the script I sent for now

name it scoreboard

[stoic garnet]

aight

[mint fable]

%javascript_scoreboard_name,#% to get the translated name of the team in # position

(not sure if you'll need it though)

%javascript_scoreboard_line,#% to get the line

so I did 4 lines: 1 2 3 4

this might end up being laggy fyi

it is javascript afterall

vs an actual java plugin

[stoic garnet]

so do i change the original name of the script from example to scoreboard_name

[mint fable]

and it runs the engine every time it's called

[mint fable]

scoreboard

[stoic garnet]

oh

[mint fable]

name and line are "methods"

[mint fable]

it isn't actually entirely setup yet, gotta make some changes

[stoic garnet]

alright

and the other script will be named?

[mint fable]

only 1 script

[mint fable]

I thought you were just replacing what you had

[stoic garnet]

ill do that

idm aslong as it works

[mint fable]

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

okay try that, should be good

[stoic garnet]

i had to reset my server yesterday, what expansions do i download again?

[mint fable]

I think just javascript and teams for this

ooh

scoreboardobjectives

[stoic garnet]

this isnt working for some reason
/papi parse me %javascript_scoreboard%

[mint fable]

%javascript_scoreboard_name,#% to get the translated name of the team in # position

%javascript_scoreboard_line,#% to get the line

so your scoreboard should be

%javascript_scoreboard_lines,1%
%javascript_scoreboard_lines,2%
%javascript_scoreboard_lines,3%
%javascript_scoreboard_lines,4%

[stoic garnet]

that isnt working either

it just comes back with blank

[wheat grail]

Hi. I am currently having trouble with the vaults placeholders. I have added the vaults placeholder to my current scoreboard plugin, but all it is doing is the showing the placeholder in the scoreboard as %vault_eco_formatted%. I have installed the placeholder and reloaded placeholderapi. Any reason why it is not loaded or anyway to fix it?

[mint fable]

does %javascript_scoreboard_name,1% do anything

[stoic garnet]

nope

[mint fable]

send your javascripts config

[mint fable]

also it's lines not line ig

[stoic garnet]

it doesnt let me send a file

[mint fable]

it's still named example

[stoic garnet]

oh

im not stupid

trust

[stoic garnet]

i change it from example.js to scoreboard.js right

[mint fable]

whatever your file is named, keep it that way

if it's still named example.js keep it that way

but replace the example above it to scoreboard

honestly, it doesn't really matter

it's just for organization purposes if you need more javascripts later

really you can use %javascript_example_lines,1%

🤷‍♂️

thats good right

[mint fable]

is your script saved as scoreboard.js?

[stoic garnet]

its named scoreboard so yea

[mint fable]

I'd also replace the example with scoreboard

then it'd be good

[stoic garnet]

now it says

script error

but it only does that when the 2nd to last line example is changed to scoreboard

[mint fable]

huh?

[stoic garnet]

okay i fixed it

but it still replies with blank

/papi parse me %javascript_scoreboard_lines,1% right??

[mint fable]

yes

theoretically

[stoic garnet]

well its just sending blank so idk what to do

[mint fable]

what if you do %javascript_scoreboard_name,1%

[stoic garnet]

same thing

[mint fable]

%objective_entryposhigh_{coins}_{1}%

[stoic garnet]

it replies with aqua

which is the highest

[mint fable]

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

what about that

idk what's up exactly so

[stoic garnet]

[mint fable]

all 4 lines?

if so then it's just time to test when you're at every position 1-8 in the scoreboard

[stoic garnet]

yea

but theres 1 more thing i want to do

which shouldnt be that hard

i want it to show on the side of team name

the placement

and their coins

so like if your in 3rd with 8 coins

3. Orange Ocelots 8

[mint fable]

I don’t know if that’s possible because I think the number on the right decides which order you see it

But you could just put the value itself next to the team name, not as the value way on the right

So, I was sent here from the DiscordSRV support server because I need help with a date placeholder. I downloaded PAPI and ServerTime expansion and did the %servertime_<SimpleDateFormat>% placeholder. I need help making my server online and offline messages have a timestamp like this: <t:1657146564:R>. When I added %servertime_<SimpleDateFormat>% and started and shut down my server this is what my bot messaged. (Attached to this message is the bot's discord message (for start and stop) and the DiscordSRV config message (for start and stop).

[mint fable]

that's fine

[green osprey]

Java version: 17

[mint fable]

kind of odd, but what happens if you put an actual SimpleDateFormat?

[austere hawk]

wdym?

also I accidently did the wrong messages for the second screenshot

here are the messages:

The server is online. Started error whilst parsing the date
The server is offline. Stopped error whilst parsing the date```

from the bot

[mint fable]

so, you'll probably want a custom js placeholder on top of servertime

[austere hawk]

idk how to do that

[mint fable]

but you need a SimpleDateFormat first

we'll get there

[austere hawk]

ok

[mint fable]

try putting %servertime_MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm%

[austere hawk]

ok

I'm starting my server

No idea how discord works with the whole 7 minutes ago thingy FYI @austere hawk

it shows up as blank

[mint fable]

you reload, ye?

give it a nice /papi reload and try again real quick

[austere hawk]

yeah I did

[mint fable]

unixtime:

ig add the extra stuff in to the script too

why not

if it's only for discord

FAQ Answer:

Use codeblocks for formatting code or configuration files:
```<language name>
<your code here>
```

For example:
```yaml
test:

• “hi”
• “there”
  ```

Produces:

test:
- “hi”
- “there”```

thats wierd

[mint fable]

Did you put the right placeholder

Do you know which player it parses placeholders for?

[austere hawk]

wdym?

[mint fable]

in papi, placeholders get parsed for a specific player

[mint fable]

so I'm not sure how discordsrv manages that with these messages

Just to make sure it's still working type /papi parse --null %javascript_unixtime%

if that works then we might have to ask discordsrv

@austere hawk

[austere hawk]

ok ty

same thing :(

[mint fable]

can you elaborate

[steep talon]

can we make it so a placeholder resets every 7 days? eg: for %eco_balance% etc
using placeholder api, or is it inbuilt into what ever plugin im using?

[errant iron]

PlaceholderAPI only acts as an API to transfer data between plugins

It doesn't cache and it doesn't actually provide any data itself

So %eco_balance%, you'd have to have it so that your economy plugin resets balances every 7 days or whatever you want there

[rapid trail]

I'm having issues with PAPI extension Player, where %player_direction% outputs different things depending on the location on the server.

You can see below that /compass outputs N with 359 degrees, but papi parse me %player_direction% returns NW
https://ibb.co/dBXrh4k

I have tried this in 3 location on my server so far and the closer i am to 0, 0 the center of the world the more inaccurate some of the directions become. I have tracked the following.yml N is set from 0-23 # should be 337.5 to 22.5 NE is 24-67 # should be 22.5 to 67.5 E is 67 to 113 # should be 67.5 to 112.5 SE is 113 # should be 112.5 to 157.5 S is 114-179 # should be 157.5 to 202.5 180 returns NOTHING SW is 181-239 # should be 202.5 to 247.5 W is 240-300 # should be 247.5 to 292.5 NW is 301-359 # should be 292.5 to 337.5

Is there any reason this might be happening? Any way to try and fix this on my end? Like i said, when I'm further away from the centre of the world it start working properly.

And here when i'm facing south, /compass outputs S with 180 degrees, but papi parse me %player_direction% returns BLANK
https://ibb.co/mbfv3Yn

[errant iron]

    public static BlockFace getDirection(Player player) {
        return radial[Math.round(player.getLocation().getYaw() / 45f) & 0x7].getOppositeFace();
    }```

that is how it is calculated in the expansion

there is probably some room for improvement lmao

Any idea why I'm getting this error? https://keig.tk/Feather_Launcher_MYaPzmviWZ.png

and i've re-installed my expansions already

[balmy marten]

Try seeing if it loads with no expansions installed in /plugins/placeholderapi/expansions/ If that loads then slowly add them back one by one till it fails to see which one is causing it to go wonky

[willow pewter]

but it needs some expansions to be loaded in order to show them? https://keig.tk/javaw_XyF4U9CtqC.png

[balmy marten]

So yeah, slowly add back expansions till it fails

[willow pewter]

ok so i did that, they're all fine but then when i retstart the server they're all back to showing the raw text again. As soon as I do /papi reload they go back to normal

Hi. I am currently having trouble with the vaults placeholders. I have added the vaults placeholder to my current scoreboard plugin, but all it is doing is the showing the placeholder in the scoreboard as %vault_eco_formatted%. I have installed the placeholder and reloaded placeholderapi. Any reason why it is not showing its vaule or anyway to fix it?

[stone edge]

1. Error on start
2. You dont have vault
3. You dont have the vault expansion
4. You dont have an economy plugin with vault support
5. Your scoreboard doesnt work

[wheat grail]

1. No errors on startup
2. I have the latest version of vaults (compiled)
3. Expansion installed, reloaded both the plugin and server

all towny files are also fully up to date

[stone edge]

from ecloud, which is uploaded by the dev who made the expansion

[zenith moth]

I'll ask him then

[stone edge]

in this case, seems to be Clip

are you using TownyChat plugin?

[zenith moth]

nope

Possible Solution Found:

Multiple bungee expansions loaded.
Go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions and delete all the BungeeExpansions, then execute a /papi reload. After that redownload the expansion using /papi ecloud download bungee then /papi reload.

Barry's solution finder is still in BETA and will make mistakes.

[outer viper]

that appears to fix it

for whatever reason it keeps saying that Bungee has an update but never actually updates it

it downloads version 1.0.1 even though 2.0 is the latest

I manually installed 2.0 and it still says the version is 1.0.1 after a reload

it also says there is a player online on an empty server

https://i.gyazo.com/dc70d7bdb576539510c95b5daa53a9cd.png

[stone edge]

When having issues with placeholders not being parsed, always try the papi parse command like:

/papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_fixed%
if it works, then is FeatherBoard issue, otherwise, it's something else which can be since vault, vault expansion, economy plugin, not installed

[opal eagle]

when ever i restart my place holders dont work and i need to do ./papi reload to fix im on 1.19 with the most recent version so why is this

you mean that entire line of code?

it will take a string from the variable placeholder and add % at the start and the end. For example if placeholder is player_name it will become %player_name% then the placeholder will be parsed for the player.

Best to test placeholders with /papi parse <player|me> %placeholder%

[zealous ledge]

This worked, thanks!

Hello, is it possible that if you don’t have a clan, for example, then it says that it’s missing, but if it does, it writes the name of the clan?

[mint fable]

with changeoutput you should be able to manage that @lyric pine

https://helpch.at/placeholders#changeoutput

[warm topaz]

o that needs updating on github

https://github.com/Kqliber/Expansion-ChangeOutput#expansion-changeoutput is updated

[mint fable]

did u break everybody's configs kaliber

[lyric pine]

Can you post an example of how it should look like? I just didn't understand

[mint fable]

%changeoutput_equals_input:{clan_name}_matcher:_ifmatch:_else:{clan_name}%

[warm topaz]

wdym

[mint fable]

if they have the old syntax, no worko?

[warm topaz]

oh right

yeah

[mint fable]

hmmk

good to know

[warm topaz]

i had to, only way i could thinking of fixing this https://github.com/Kqliber/Expansion-ChangeOutput/issues/2

[mint fable]

change syntax or revert to 1.1 and lose some placeholder support

[mint fable]

ye syntax is annoying to do

always problems

[warm topaz]

yup sadge

[mint fable]

big

[gaunt swallow]

Hey is there a way to store placeholders in a database across servers?

[lyric pine]

what's wrong?

%changeoutput_equals_input:{skinsrestorer_getSkinName}_matcher:_ifmatch:_else:{player_name}%

If there is no skin, the player's nickname should be written, and if there is, the name of this skin should be written, and it will always show me the player's nickname

[stone edge]

why input?

shouldnt it simply be the placeholder?

[lyric pine]

Should, but how?

[stone edge]

have you checked the wiki?

[lyric pine]

no..

There is a lot of text, it is not clear which section

[warm topaz]

what does {skinsrestorer_getSkinName} return if there is no skin

[warm topaz]

no, new format

[lyric pine]

I need it so that if a player has a skin, the name of his skin is written, and if there is no skin, his nickname is written

[warm topaz]

yes, and so what does that placeholder on its own return if there is no skin

[lyric pine]

Well, he writes None, how can I change it?

[warm topaz]

%changeoutput_equals_input:{skinsrestorer_getSkinName}_matcher:None_ifmatch:{player_name}_else:{skinsrestorer_getSkinName}%

[lyric pine]

thanks

Works!

[mint fable]

tbh I like the new format it kind of explains it a bit

[stone edge]

honestly, old one wasnt that hard to understand, lets be honest

[zenith stratus]

Guys im confused, im trying to get the papi placeholders for FactionsX and i can clearly see that it is a registered expansion https://gyazo.com/6eb7b936d918f0bdfae58b531a409fe0 buy doing /papi ecloud download doesnt work it says cant find registered extension and i cant download the expansion manually either 😐

[peak jay]

Can someone tell me how to register a new placeholder?

[stone edge]

register placeholder as developer?

You can read PAPI wiki

[mint fable]

Where is that picture from?

these are the only ones on the ecloud https://i.imgur.com/cIHjjn4.jpeg

most factions now-a-days has the papi expansion built-in

Currently have problems at the moment since updated to 1.19;

Most of my placeholders are not working which you can see below;

Hello, how to make it so that if the player is in the world "world" or "world_nether" then the placeholder "%player_world%" does not show the name of the world but "Hi!" and if in "world1" or "world_the_end" then the placeholder showed "Welcome)"

Hi, i have Rankup plugin on 1.18.2 when i try to rankup i have this error message :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Placeholder requirements must be in the form %placeholder% <operation> string

I try to make a custom model data item as requirement for rank up this is my config file : https://paste.helpch.at/uxugobomix.coffeescript

[mint fable]

looks like you might need a space between = and 1

also I recommend adding the material to the checkitem placeholder as well in case you have other items with a cmd of 11

[austere hawk]

what is the material for the cd ?

[mint fable]

wait i'm confused

I don't know what you're trying to check for, a music disc?

[austere hawk]

do you speak french ?

No

I don't really know how the rankup plugin works but you can use the CheckItem expansion to see how many items of a type someone has

%checkitem_amount_mat:music_disc_11,custommodeldata:1%

try this one

Is there a way I can edit the format of an expansion? The world expansion has a time placeholder, but formats 12:30 am as 0:30 am.

[wary viper]

can anyone help when I try and do Papi parse me %essentials_baltop_balancefixed<rank>% it just says invalid id

you can use javascript placeholder

Hi, asking again if anyone knows how to please do the night vision effect in the javascript expansion

[limber ice]

@upper anchornot sure what info your looking for?

gives potion minecraft:give %player_name% potion{Potion:"minecraft:long_night_vision"} 1'

[vivid sparrow]

Do you want to give a potion, or to apply the effect?

here's how you would apply the effect

var effect = Java.type("org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType").NIGHT_VISION;
var PotionEffect = Java.type("org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffect");
var potion = new PotionEffect(effect, /*duration*/, /*amplifier*/);
BukkitPlayer.addPotionEffect(potion);```

This might work, you need the nashorn engine

[dusk kayak]

Can I somehow find out if the "placeholder requester" is CONSOLE in onPlaceholderRequest?

[junior musk]

check if the player is null

[dusk kayak]

Tried, somehow it's not null if it's console

[junior musk]

wut

what does it return then?

and what's the command you executed in the console?

[turbid tide]

if you execute /papi parse PLAYER-NAME PLACEHOLDER the requester will actually be the PLAYER-NAME. It will first try to find an online player and if it can't then an offline player

the requester can be an online player Player, an offline player OfflinePlayer or anything else

aka null

Using javascript, is there a way to get the smelted version of an item?

In javascript, how would I check if text a contains text b?

found it

nvm

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

is this correct

nvm it works now

[turbid tide]

that was a rollercoaster of emotions :)))

[turbid tide]

yeah we'll have to remove the command from there. No one bothered to remove it as there's no one maintaining the expansion. There is a more updated version of the skript expansion here but you still have to manually download it https://github.com/Altruiis/skript-expansion/releases/

[slim fern]

I'm having some trouble parsing json data into custom placeholders.
My JavaScript file looks like this and does run fine on my local machine with Node.js but when I try to test the placeholder using /papi parse Bertel401 %javascript_custom_placeholder_param1_param2% I always get this error: <eval>:2:0 Invalid return statement
return json_data[args[0]][args[1]];
Can anyone give me some pointers what my issue might be here?

var json_data = require('./subfolder/data.json');
return json_data[args[0]][args[1]];

[vivid sparrow]

parameters are separated by comma @slim fern

[slim fern]

So I should call %javascript_custom_placeholder,param1,param2% instead? That just returns my input syntax and is not being recognized as a placeholder

[vivid sparrow]

yes

any console error this time?

also, try to return something like "string" + json_data

[slim fern]

Console just shows that I've executed the command but nothing else.
I only get console output when I connect the function name and the first parameter using underscores. The latter ones can be either _ or , but both give me the eval error
Just made the return statement a plain string without any variables and it still has issues evaluating

[vivid sparrow]

try to put it inside a function

function something() {
// code
}

something();```

[slim fern]

Just did that but it doesn't help. After a bit more testing I think the issue is bound the require() in some way. When I remove that line and have it return args[0] it does fine

[vivid sparrow]

yeah looks like it is not possible to use that

[slim fern]

I'm not really sure what viable alternatives there are for reading files as most of the examples I could find so far are bound to some kind of <input> tag which doesn't really help me at all

Seems to be the same issue as was discussed here. Unfortunately there was no resolution either.

Does anyone know how to make an item update placeholders, im trying to make the item display the placeholder for how many players online but how do you make the placeholder in the lore update?

DeluxeMenus?

[austere hawk]

ok

[turbid tide]

hmm? I'm asking if you mean in deluxemenus or in what plugin are you trying to update it?

[austere hawk]

oh

Just a gui plugin like command panels or deluxemenus work

i have both installed

[turbid tide]

well deluxemenus has an update option

you put update_interval: 1 at the top of the menu and update: true in your item

its up to the plugin itself to update placeholders not PlaceholderAPI

ok

oh

ok

Hey, im running version 5.1.26 of luckperms and i cant get luckperms to register under the papi list with expansions

Assistance is appreciated!

[short shoal]

That's really old version, current is 5.4.30, update to latest

[runic tapir]

We did that but it still gave the same issue

which was why i attempted with the older version.

[short shoal]

Have you reloaded papi after downloading the expansion?

[runic tapir]

yes

[short shoal]

Are there any papi errors when you start up your server?

[runic tapir]

Not that i'm aware.

Attempting to swap papi versions

I got it to register but my javascript is giving an error

    var arg = args[0];
    var amount = args[1];
    var amountinteger = parseInt(amount);
    var num = isNaN(service.value('%luckperms_meta_' + arg + '.meta%'))?0:parseInt(service.value('%luckperms_meta_' + arg + '.meta%'));
    var num = isNaN(num)?0:parseInt(service.value('%luckperms_meta_' + arg + '.meta%'));
    num += amountinteger;
    return num.toFixed(0);
}

metachanger();```

[turbid tide]

what error? put it in a paste bin and send it here.

also you're declaring num twice.

[runic tapir]

https://pastebin.com/7zur4Bv9

we're getting the meta from luckperms and adding onto the value

so if your luckperm meta is 1

i can run this script and it adds onto that value

works on 1.12.2 sponge server

[turbid tide]

sponge? how did you even get PlaceholderAPI to work on sponge.

[runic tapir]

spongeforge mb

placeholderapi in mods folder

[turbid tide]

hmm. looking at this error I don't see anything mentioning the javascript expansion. Just HolographicExtension.

[runic tapir]

https://ore.spongepowered.org/rojo8399/PlaceholderAPI

[turbid tide]

that's a completely different PlaceholderAPI.

[runic tapir]

yes

but its a js

same concept

Here is more of the Log

https://pastebin.com/cwV7waEY

Instead of running the Js it sets it to script

[short shoal]

Hybrid servers aren't really supported

It's most likely the reason of your issues

[turbid tide]

1ntent1on is right. we don't really support those types of servers as they usually just break stuff but in this case the error is something else. Caused by: com.koushikdutta.quack.QuackException: ReferenceError: 'service' is not defined

you're using service in your javascript but you never defined it

Hi, I had this error occur to me today.
https://pastebin.com/71s7SBrM

Issue is that my placeholders stopped working after restarting the server. I did not modify papi and not sure if any other plugin caused it to die

[gilded prawn]

Is there maybe any add-on in placeholderapi that would return what version the player is playing on?

[sleek timber]

None of the placeholders work if you wanted me to parse a placeholder. I'm on 1.19

[vivid sparrow]

Viaversion has placeholders, if you use it

[gilded prawn]

And if I don't have viaversion, will I be able to check the player's version?
