Placeholder within a placeholder?

[unkempt gulch]

Is it possible to have a placeholder within a placeholder and have it work corrently without giving any issues?
Something like
%%party_member_1%health%

[manic flax]

%utils_parse_party_member_1{player_health}%

/papi ecloud download Utils
/papi reload

not sure if that placeholder is valid tho

but essentially, it's %utils_parse_placeholder1_{placeholder2}%

[unkempt gulch]

Ahh

Ty

[unkempt gulch]

%md_party_member_1{player_health}% is a viable thing right ?

I can't test this because my lonely ass got no friends who can help test

[shrewd karma]

as long as the MD expansion sets bracket placeholders, yes you can do that

[unkempt gulch]

Could you elaborate by what you mean by bracket placeholders?

[unkempt gulch]

ok this only parses the 1st placeholder

I need the username from the 1st placeholder to go as the input for the 2nd placeholder

[unkempt gulch]

Only parses the 1st placeholder

I changed the order and get this

[unkempt gulch]

Please ping when you reply

[manic flax]

you want the health of the player returned in the other placeholder?

[unkempt gulch]

Yea, so instead of returning name of player, I want the health of the other player

[manic flax]

oki

%utils_parseplaceholder:[{md_party_member_1}]_player_health%

though it may not work, idk why but your party member placeholder returns a color with the player name

so it may not detect the player correctly

you'll probably need to find another placeholder that returns the name without colors, or ask the dev to make one

[unkempt gulch]

I think it's because I am opped

because I got essentials

[manic flax]

try disabling change-displayname in your Ess config

[unkempt gulch]

Will try today, but I don't think this would be the issue

Oh well

I made an issue at their git

@manic flax seems like none of their placeholders work anymore

[manic flax]

[unkempt gulch]

ok they finally fixed it @manic flax

[unkempt gulch]

@manic flax anything wrong I am doing ?

Am trying to take player name and display it's health

Player name comes from %md_party_member_#%
and I want that to pass into a %Player_health% to get their health

and display that on a scoreboard

[manic flax]

use parseplaceholder, not parserelplaceholder

and remove the <>

and you need {} around the md placeholder (inside the [])

[manic flax]

or just use this

[unkempt gulch]

@manic flax none of them work for some reason

wait nvm

I forgot to download utils expansion on new server

[cerulean dust]

That placeholder doesn't work very well, I used a similar one with the placeholders of the parties plugin in a hud and it caused a lot of delays to the server

[unkempt gulch]

Then which one do you suggest? Since this placeholder throws up this and crashes.

@manic flax might be of interest to you.

[cerulean dust]

I haven't found one that is useful yet, something is wrong with your placeholder because it does give me back the life of each member but it causes a lot of lag

[manic flax]

I think PlaceholderAPI didn't load correctly somehow

though this seems weird because the error is thrown after I try parsing placeholders within the utils placeholder, though it worked fine when AnimatedScoreboard parsed placeholders with the same method

can you send your server startup logs?

[unkempt gulch]

Ok let me get them

[unkempt gulch]

@manic flax https://mclo.gs/1yr12y5

The scoreboard plugin works fine if we don't use PAPI

it's not an issue with the scoreboard plugin I think

[manic flax]

I see a different error though I don't think I can do anything about that

[unkempt gulch]

But when I don't use the utils package it seems to work

I config , not make plugins so I have no idea

[manic flax]

idk either

[unkempt gulch]

Is it a issue with the PAPI expansion or the plugin?

[manic flax]

I don't know ;-;

[unkempt gulch]

Not enough info?

What else u need?

[manic flax]

I don't know either ;-;

[unkempt gulch]

@manic flax

What does htis message mean

then

[cerulean dust]

You must edit the result of the placeholder, you could use TAB because when it does not find a member it does not return anything and could cause the error, but as I say that type of placeholders consumes a lot.

[unkempt gulch]

Waht do you mean by consume a lot?

[unkempt gulch]

I see that there is a parseother extension

Any chance that you know how to use it?

[split zinc]

utils also has parseother if you're already using that @unkempt gulch

%utils_parseother:[name]_<placeholder>%

%utils_parseother:[cj89898]_player_name%

[unkempt gulch]

@split zinc the thing is I want info from one placeholder as input for another place holder

Utils does that but is heavy on the server

[split zinc]

utils is the only expansion that allows nesting of placeholders

most support one internally with {}, but with parseother that might break because it uses {}
