Can I make custom dynamic arena picker? | HelpChat | Page 1

Can I make a dynamic row using DeluxeMenus?

For example I have 4 available arenas in slot 0,1,2,3
And I have view requirement set, so if placeholder says "available" arena is showing

So some players joined arena 1 and started the game, placeholders changed to "InGame" so arena number 1 disappears.

Now i have slot 0,2,3 with arenas but 1 is empty.
So can I move somehow arena 2 and 3 left by 1 to make it dynamic?
And after the game end on arena 1 it will be added to the row back.

I hope you understand what I mean..😅

#

Is it possible to make*?😅

#

You'd have to use a lot of view requirements, slot numbers are static for each item defined

#

you'd basically just have to have 4 items for slot 0, 3 items for slot 2, 3 items for slot 3, 1 item for slot 4

#

now... if you have a lot more than 4 arenas then that number keeps going up

#

hmm so it is possible.. I will think about it) Thanks. If anyone have an idea how to configure it.. text here.

what placeholders are provided by the arena plugin

past solstice what placeholders are provided by the arena plugin

It`s a bit more difficult because I have MOTD output that contains ArenaName Status OnlinePlayers/MaxPlayers. But I think I can separate it somehow. So i will have:
ArenaName
Status
OnlinePlayers
MaxPlayers

past solstice you'd basically just have to have 4 items for slot 0, 3 items for slot 2, 3 item...

So I have started to think about it.. and for example if I use view requirements and place
4 arenas in 0 slot
3 arenas in 1 slot
2 arenas in 2 slot
1 arena in 3 slot
If arena with the highest priority in 0 slot will not show it will be exact same arenas in slot 0 and 1
And if the arena with the highest priority in 2 slot will not show it will be the same as in 3 slot..
How to solve it?

#

slot 1 priority 0 (highest) should also have a view requirement checking if Arena 1 is active or not, it can only show Arena 2 if Arena 1 is Available

#

then the same for slot 2 priority 0 (Arena 3) should check if Arena 1 AND Arena 2 are both available

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 4:55 AM

#

past solstice then the same for slot 2 priority 0 (Arena 3) should check if Arena 1 AND Arena ...

So I made a config that works, but I needed to make the same arena icon at slot1 3 times because there is no option to use OR in view requirements. And I need to check is arena is in waiting is arena is online and is arena is full.. Can I send you a config to you to see maybe you know how to optimize it? Because if i need to add one more arena it will be very complicated. So maybe I do to many checks..

#

well you can use minimum requirements

#

or javascript requiremments

#

for an OR

#

see syntax for minimum requirements info https://wiki.helpch.at/clips-plugins/deluxemenus/options-and-configurations/requirements#syntax

#

you can definitely post the config here though

#

past solstice you can definitely post the config here though

https://paste.helpch.at/ubenoxibex.yaml
%javascript_bwcmotdnamesolo_ArenaName% - Name of the arena
%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_ArenaName% - Status of arena. It can return Nothing(like just a space), Waiting for players(it can`t return full so if 4/4 it will still be Waiting till arena start, but if it could be useful for optimisation I guess I can make it in JS that separates motd by args), Running or Resetting
%javascript_bwcmotdonlinesolo_ArenaName% - How many players on arena right now
%javascript_bwcmotdmaxsolo_ArenaName% - Max players that can join arena
0.0.0.0:22001 - Arena1 - Camping
0.0.0.0:22002 - Arena2 - Geyser
0.0.0.0:22003 - Arena3 - Plains

iron ruin https://paste.helpch.at/ubenoxibex.yaml %javascript_bwcmotdnamesolo_ArenaName% -...

Ok, I have started to think again hahha, I have rewritten javascript of %javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_ArenaName% and now it could return Full

#

var placeholder = [%pinger_motd_0.0.0.0:22001%]; //"ArenaName", "ArenaStatus", "ArenaOnline", "ArenaMax"
var placeholderonline = placeholder[2];
var placeholdermax = placeholder[3];
placeholder[1];

function placeholderCheck(){
    // If arena In Game return status
  if(placeholder[1] == "У грі") {
      return placeholder[1];
  }
    // If arena not full return status
  if(placeholderonline < placeholdermax) {
      return placeholder[1];
  }
    // If arena full return full
  if (placeholderonline == placeholdermax) {
      return "&cЗаповнена";
  }
}
placeholderCheck();

Like this

#

I think now I can simplify the menu config

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:09 AM

past solstice or javascript requiremments

    view_requirement:
        requirements:
            arenastatusOther:
                type: javascript
                expression: '"%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Camping%" == "Waiting.." || "%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Geyser%" == "Waiting.."'

can I use OR an infinite number of times? like
expression: '"%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Arena1%" == "Waiting.." || "%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Arena2%" == "Waiting.. " || "%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Arena3%" == "Waiting.. " || "%javascript_bwcmotdstatussolo_Arena4%" == "Waiting.. "'

Yes, but be weary it is a lot of javascript going on

#

using the %javascript% placeholders themselves will cause a little bit of performance lag/menu loading lag

#

I'd try using the minimum_requirements for OR related things, but I realize it can't be done for all situations

#

You could try using javascript a different way

#

maybe instead of returning arena information you have %javascript_arena_1_name% which returns the first available arena

#

leaving javascript to do the logic

#

so slot 1 would just look like

item:
  slot: 0
  display_name: '%javascript_arena_1_name%'
  #...

#

but will that add more to the javascript placeholder lag? maybe...

#

not sure the best way to optimize this sort of thing since each time the %javascript% placeholder is ran a new engine instance has to be started iirc

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:14 AM

#

To be honest, I'm not very good at JavaScript.. I don`t know how to make it.
Also I want different icons per arena using heads so if I use names it would be impossible

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:15 AM

#

well basehead might support placeholders not sure

#

or placeholder- supports basehead

https://paste.helpch.at/iwoyuxiyiw.yaml At least I made the config easier

Hmm I not that scared about using JavaScript for view requirements as for using 4 of them per arena to spit motd by args..

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:18 AM

#

not just view requirements

#

also your lore

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:18 AM

#

yes..

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:18 AM

#

5 times per item atm at least

#

more items more lag

#

essentially

#

I was loading a menu with 54 items all generated via javascript and it took seconds to open

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:19 AM

#

I have 4 .js files per map to split %pinger_motd_ArenaIp% to "ArenaName", "ArenaStatus", "ArenaOnline", "ArenaMax"

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:20 AM

#

ye

#

you can make them accept arguments fyi

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:21 AM

#

but for view requirements i only need status. Others is for lore. so maybe I can reduce their population somehow?

#

because except of status one others look like this

var placeholder = [%pinger_motd_0.0.0.0:22003%];
placeholder[2];

#

0, 1, 2, 3 in args

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:22 AM

#

iron ruin but for view requirements i only need status. Others is for lore. so maybe I can...

Hmm, I don't think a single javascript placeholder could return multiple lines of text for lore, but maybe you could generate the whole lore via js one time instead of 4?

#

\n would be newline if you could I bet

#

worth a try for sure

#

like I said, not really sure the best way to optimize something like this

iron ruin Dec 18, 2022, 7:24 AM

#

Is there any other way to split %pinger_motd_IP% that returns "ArenaName", "ArenaStatus", "ArenaOnline", "ArenaMax" to 4 different placeholders by args? Not using Java script

past solstice Dec 18, 2022, 7:24 AM

#

best way would get a custom expansion
