MineconomyWorld.luckPerms.getUserManager().modifyUser(p.getUniqueId(), (User user) -> { user.data().clear(NodeType.INHERITANCE::matches); Node node = InheritanceNode.builder(MineconomyWorld.luckPerms.getGroupManager().getGroup("spieler")).build(); user.data().add(node); }); MineconomyWorld.luckPerms.runUpdateTask();
the player is added to the group, but to the default group too
nocturne elbow
You'll want to runUpdateTask when the CompletableFuture finishes
Can't do much on mobile but would look something like this
// modifyUser
}).thenRun(MineconomyWorld.luckPerms::runUpdateTask);
Because all that is ran async so you want to ensure the update task runs when the modifyUser finishes running the one inside
uneven radish
okay, ill try that
nocturne elbow
I'll try testing later anyway
uneven radish
okay, still the same problem
i am in group test and after my code i am in default and spieler

Hey, I'm sure you guys have been asked this a thousand times, but is there any reason why this is returning null?
CachedDataManager = LuckPermsProvider.get().getUserManager().getUser(player.getName()).getCachedData();
String prefix = data.getMetaData().getPrefix();
String suffix = data.getMetaData().getSuffix();
I'm on bungee
like the prefix/suffix are null
no error was thrown or anything
turbid solar
Screenshot lpb user <user> info
crystal sonnet
@dapper flame use the player’s UUID. Not the player’s name
dapper flame
ok
crystal sonnet
Also what exactly is null?
dapper flame
the prefix and suffix strings
data.getMetaData().getPrefix();
to be more specific
turbid solar
Well suffix isnt set
dapper flame
and is there anyway to get an instance of the api through the bungee plugin manager? when I do it returns an object with the type "LPBungeeBootstrap" which cannot be cast to LuckPerms, and I assume its got a private modifier because I cannot import it
using uuid fixed the null issue :) thanks
nocturne elbow
No, Bungee doesn't have a service provider like Bukkit or Sponge do
So you have to use the static singleton from LuckPermsProvider
dapper flame
ok thanks

How do I give a player a permission (hardcore.reset)
I have looked in the docs and have no idea
obtuse jolt
Assuming its about the API, what have you tried?
nocturne elbow
Do you.. have an object/variable named user somewhere accessible from there..?
nocturne elbow
I don't know what docs you've been looking but the 2 main API usage pages cover obtaining Users well
!api should be in the second link iirc
frank driftBOT
LuckPerms wiki
nocturne elbow
something along the lines "Obtaining a User instance"
night warren
Thats what i was looking at I could not understand it
nocturne elbow
What part of it you don't understand? Let's see if we can break this down
night warren
All I am trying to do it give the user the perm hardcore.reset and when they use it take away that perm
nocturne elbow
That doesn't really answer the question tho..
To do that you need a User object
The one corresponding to the player
nocturne elbow
What platform is this for?
nocturne elbow
Okay, so this bit https://luckperms.net/wiki/Developer-API#using-the-bukkit-servicesmanager you do inside your onEnable (don't forget to add LuckPerms to your depend list)
Then you store that LuckPerms object somewhere for you to access and use
And with that object this is how you get user data (for online players!!)
nocturne elbow
Yeah you are mixing bits.. you'll want to initialize the api (I suggest you rename it as luckPerms or something) to null instead and then use the service provider to get it
night warren
is that under on Enable?
nocturne elbow
yes
nocturne elbow
Well the name of the class isn't right, Java is a case sensitive language, so Luckperms and LuckPerms are different classes
And I meant, initialize this one to null
And then inside onEnable use the service provider to give it a value
In that case, the value would be a LuckPerms object
nocturne elbow
Yes, that looks good, that is how you get the API
Although again, I suggest you rename it to luckPerms instead, api alone is very vague an unidentifiable
cinder zealot
this is what I was doing now :thimk:
cinder zealot
hey fefo xd
nocturne elbow
yes.. why are you removing and then adding the node back again...?
night warren
I am removing the perm once they use it
so for my example they die get the perm to reset everything and once used remove it again
nocturne elbow
yeah but.... you're adding it back immediately after..?
night warren
they are in separate bits
at bottom is when they die
does that event
adds command then there is top when they do command and remove perm
nocturne elbow
You can see here a fully functional example plugin that uses the LP API if you need some general guidance btw https://github.com/LuckPerms/api-cookbook

nocturne elbow

cinder zealot
btw, I had installed the LuckPerms API with maven, said in github
but there're some sources with no documentation
nocturne elbow
Uuh not sure what you mean exactly? But afaik maven should pull the sources version of the API jar too

thank you UwU
cinder zealot
is NodeType#INHERITANCE used for groups too?
I mean, I'm seeing that groups are kinda treated like permissions or something like that :sadcat:
nocturne elbow
Everything is a node, not necessarily a permission node. Inheritance nodes denote parent groups, prefix and suffix nodes are.. self-explanatory, meta nodes are used to "store" arbitrary data in a key->value pair manner, permission nodes are meant to be used as permissions with a true/false value
cinder zealot
tribal wave
about the specifics of transient nodes, do they last until a user leaves the spigot server, or until they disconnect from bungee (assuming you're using the same database for every spigot/bungee instance, as well as that you assigned the node from the aforementioned spigot server)
nocturne elbow
about the specifics of transient nodes, do they last until a user leaves the sp...
They are never saved to storage, so it doesn't matter the setup, it's specific to each individual LP instance
nocturne elbow
Even if you set the server setting, even if you use any kind of database with messaging service: LP doesn't know if you're on a network and doesn't know of other existing instances, they are isolated units basically

How do I add/remove a prefix from a player using the API?
Should I just use vault's API?
nocturne elbow
your best bet would be to (in modifyUser) use this: https://javadoc.io/static/net.luckperms/api/5.2/net/luckperms/api/model/data/NodeMap.html#clear-java.util.function.Predicate-
and clear by node type (PREFIX) and its weight
or maybe just node type, depends on your use case
because if you want to do something like user.data().remove(node), the node has to match exactly all the qualities (expiry, value, the whole node key, contexts)
night warren
Hi there, I am trying to set a permission to a player but for some reason it is not working, this is my code the node i want to set is hardcore.reset

Hey. So, I want the user to be able to have x, let's say, friends. I give him the permission friends.max.20 and he can have 20 friends. Okay, nice. Now I want to retrieve this number from the user. In plain Bukkit I would to it with permission attachment infos, but I'm quite unsure how to do it with the luckperms API. Should I use meta nodes?
nocturne elbow
Yeah you should use meta nodes
I mean you can just use regular permission nodes and do some fancy-schmancy regex and filtering but you'll be way better off using meta nodes

Aight. Is there a solution to include meta nodes from groups in the result, as user.getCachedData().getMetaData() only returns the meta set directly to the user?

Hello I have problem with api because I want to do: api.getUserManager().getUser(target.getUniqueId().toString()).setPrimaryGroup("svip"); and its dont work
sweet mirage
UserManager#getUser takes a UUID
You’re turning the UUID into a string
Is that what’s not working
the string param for #getUser searches a user by username
and i assume their username isn’t their uuid
nocturne elbow
Well:
-
"dont work" doesn't really tell me anything, I don't know what your objective is, what it's actually doing or how you are doing things. Detail is key when troubleshooting! 🙏
-
UserManager#getUser(String) takes the player name! Not the UUID as a string
-
You already have the UUID, you can just call UserManager#getUser(UUID), unsure why you're converting it to a string
-
User#setPrimaryGroup(String) doesn't do what you think it does. The primary group is, by default, the user's parent group that weights the most. What you want to do is get the user nodes data, clear all nodes of type NodeType.INHERITANCE, build an InheritanceNode and add it to the same nodes data (don't forget to save the user!!) (maybe you don't want to remove the other parent groups, but add this other alongside the existing ones instead)
magic palm
so how to repair it anyone can write this line ready to paste into eclipse

You can check a working example plugin that uses the LP API in the API cookbook repo, you can use that as guide, see how it does things
!cookbook
frank driftBOT
magic palm
I read this and I dont know how to do it
nocturne elbow
In that example plugin there is an example command exactly for setting a parent group (clearing the others and adding one)
"simulates" LP's parent set command with the API
magic palm
this: this.luckPerms.getUserManager().modifyUser(player.getUniqueId(), (User user) ->{ user.data().clear(NodeType.INHERITANCE::matches); Node node = InheritanceNode.builder(group).build(); user.data().add(node); sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + user.getUsername() + " is now in group " + group.getDisplayName()); } give me an error
Consumer<User> cannot be resolved to a type
nocturne elbow
What version of the API are you working with?
magic palm
where to see it?
nocturne elbow
I don't know, depends on how you are adding the API as a dependency, only you can know that
magic palm
I have LuckPerms 5.2.61

Uuuh you aren't supposed to add the whole LP jar as a dependency
Only the API jar, provided in the main Dev API wiki page iirc

yea you kinda need to know your variables
and you probably want to figure out why the luckPerms you pass into the contructor is null
nocturne elbow
I mean no offense but you should probably re-review your Java basics before jumping into the LP API, or even Spigot API. "Giving the object a value" is a trivial concept.
I suggest jumping back and forth between theory and practice; don't follow YouTube tutorials, they usually are not even decent. I heard that the "JetBrains academy" is good actually, has a 2 months free trial https://www.jetbrains.com/academy/
Start with this -
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/concepts/index.html
Breeze through this skipping stuff that doesn't seem relevant like bitwise operators-
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/index.html
and then hit this
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/index.html
They're the first three from this larger thing - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html
Which you should definitely go through overall. But those three should be enough for slightly better understanding of wtf is happening here without feeling like a huge time sink
That one is a small part of this larger site - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html
wherein "Essential Java Classes" and "Collections" also have good useful stuff

and I want to unset player rank but i cant see it on github

hi
i use this for get a luckperms user
but some times if the user is not online returns null
how i can get if the player are offline?
nocturne elbow
!api see in the second link "Obtaining a user instance"
frank driftBOT

Not really? Check the one that says "If the player isn't (or might not be) online"
It shows you how to load user data from storage (since the player is offline)
inland yacht
oh ok
prisma trout
ok so idk how the internals of permissions really work, and if this is even the right way to accomplish this goal
but basically i want to have a permission, quantum.cooldown.x, where x is a number
for example, the default group could have quantum.cooldown.20 while another group could have quantum.cooldown.10 (or any different number - higher or lower)
now, is there a way to get the highest "priority" quantum.cooldown node?
initialliy i considered just iterating over every permission with quantum.cooldown. as the prefix, and basically making the cooldown the lowest value, but that's kinda limiting and i was wondering if this idea would be possible instead
dunno if that makes any sense
alternatively i could probably use the meta api
prisma trout
yeah that's what im thinking
i'll just provide a guide on how to use luckperms meta with quantum then i guess
rustic laurel
with permissions it's just such a pain, like check every int pain
prisma trout
yeah
rustic laurel
essx did something like that with multiple homes
and you can see how that went for both dev and ux
prisma trout
god yeah i didn't even consider that
that system blows
alright, thanks for bringing me to the light side larebear
rustic laurel
prisma trout
just to make sure:
group default {
quantum-cooldown: 10
}
group larry inherits default {
quantum-cooldown: 999999
}
any user with larry group will return 999999 for cooldown instead of 10 yeah
rustic laurel
what is this syntax
prisma trout
idk just an example

ok pog

group weight determines meta

Btw there’s a config option in LP to make it so that it picks the highest (or lowest) value for a meta node @prisma trout

wicked briar
correct version?

Are you programming a plugin that interfaces with the LP API?
If you don't know what an API is, the answer is no btw
pastel brook
is there some sort of limit on how fast you can add permissions to a user?
crystal sonnet
no
pastel brook
using this code:
private fun addPerkPerms(userUUID: UUID, perkPerms: List<String>) {
perkPerms.forEach {
luckPerms.userManager.modifyUser(userUUID) { user: User ->
println(it)
user.data().add(Node.builder(it).build())
}
}
}
where perkPerms is a list of permissions to add to the user.
the console output is
[22:20:40 INFO]: crazyauctions.sell.2
[22:20:40 INFO]: crazyauctions.bid.2

(I ran it 9 times)
however this is what the user permissions looks like
crystal sonnet
Well keep in mind that modifyUsersaves the data
So run the loop inside of modifyUser
nocturne elbow
Sounds a whole lot like a use for meta keys
crystal sonnet
Bad (modifyUser is a slow call):
perkPerms.forEach {
luckPerms.userManager.modifyUser(userUUID) { user: User ->
println(it)
user.data().add(Node.builder(it).build())
}
}
Good (calling modifyUser only once)
luckPerms.userManager.modifyUser(userUUID) { user: User ->
perkPerms.forEach {
println(it)
user.data().add(Node.builder(it).build())
}
}
gotcha, trying that now
crystal sonnet
That's kotlin btw, right?
nocturne elbow
Also use meta nodes for that 😬
crystal sonnet
I see. That syntax looked off
pastel brook
I was using the method that was used in the developer API usage 🤷
why would I use meta nodes vs. permission nodes?
nocturne elbow
however this is what the user permissions looks like
That totally looks like you are using permissions to store data
That is what meta nodes are for
It's basically just stores a key->value pair so you can get a value directly from the key
pastel brook
i'm setting permissions from the CrazyAuctions plugin
nocturne elbow
Assuming that isn't yours and uses permissions itself and is out of the scope of modification?
pastel brook
correct
nocturne elbow
Yeah then you'll have to stick with the spec of that plugin lol
pastel brook
however, I do use permissions to store data in one of my plugins, what makes meta nodes superior to just using a permission node?
nocturne elbow
It's basically just stores a key->value pair so you can get a value directly fro...
.
crystal sonnet
They are designed to store data
pastel brook
yeah I can just get the permission just as easily?
nocturne elbow
To get the data from a regular permission, you have to iterate through all the available permissions, filter and parse
That... is expensive
nocturne elbow
pastel brook
also, looping inside of modifyuser fixed my issue, thanks for your quick response + helpfulness 😄

how might I update CachedData for an user? xd

nvm, I just read something from wiki that helped me

Hey hello,
public CachedPermissionData getCachedPermissionData() {
ImmutableContextSet contextSet = this.getContextManager().getContext(this.getUser()).orElseGet(this.getContextManager()::getStaticContext);
return this.getUser().getCachedData().getPermissionData(QueryOptions.contextual(contextSet));
}
public String getPrimaryPrefix() {
try {
return this.getCachedMetaData().getPrefix();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
return null;
}
}
So I wrote this using the LuckPerms API wiki on github. This is working perfectly is the User is online, but if it's offline, it gives null.
Any help?
sudden pelican
normal hedge
aahh thats what I was looking for, thanks
So if I'm reading this correctly (My English isn't great), this Future can be used for Offline AND Online players right?
Question #3: If I use UserManager#loadUser(UUID), what do I use if I want to get it as a variable? get or join or something else?
nocturne elbow
It shows right in that same screenshot how to use the user instance. If you want to know how a bit more how to work with CompletableFutures check this section https://luckperms.net/wiki/Developer-API#using-completablefutures
normal hedge
I want to return the User object itself, not do anything with it yet
public User getUser() {
nocturne elbow
Well that's the point of CompletableFutures
The data takes time to load from disk
Maybe it's on a database on the other side of the world
normal hedge
ahh okay
nocturne elbow
So it's loaded asynchronously instead "inside" the CompletableFuture
normal hedge
So I shouldn't return the User itself at all
nocturne elbow
Nop, if you call join or get on the future it will basically wait until it completes
normal hedge
Well, thats fine I guess
If I use the thenAcceptAsync it will wait for it to complete as well right?
like, in 'inside' the Future, User is 100% loaded right?
nocturne elbow
Yeah, but it runs your method async waiting in that other thread, not lagging the server
Or if it lags it won't be the cause of it 
normal hedge
Ahh okay well then I need to change up my player object xD
This is all assumed the User is online, but it needs to be both xd
normal hedge
Why does User#getUsername() return the user's name in lowercase?
nocturne elbow
Because LP stores it that way
It makes everything easier and way safer when it comes to searching, calculating and stuff
normal hedge
Is there any way to get it with the right cases?
nocturne elbow
The idea being that you won't have issues due to case sensitivity
nocturne elbow
Is there any way to get it with the right cases?
You shouldn't rely on other plugins (like LP) to retrieve player data, you already have the UUID tho so you might as well Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID)
And get the player name from there
normal hedge
hmm alright
Well the thing is, the player might not even joined the specific gamemode yet
normal hedge
Aight, thanks
Just made the getUsername method as fallback if the OfflinePlayer doesn't exist
nocturne elbow
Not sure what you mean by "doesn't exist" 
afaik getOfflinePlayer will never return null because for Bukkit "the player will always exist" but uuh you do you lol
normal hedge
Lets say you have a bungeecord with 2 servers, Skyblock and Factions
If a player joined Skyblock, that doesnt mean they joined factions
if they didn't join factions a single time
there isn't an offlineplayer right?
nocturne elbow
That is correct but getOfflinePlayer will always return a valid object
normal hedge
but then getName would be null?
normal hedge
hmm okay
Well, I assumed it returns null xD
if it's null, use the luckperms Username cuz thats synced
with mysql
nocturne elbow
Well, I assumed it returns null xD
Is it annotated as nullable?
nocturne elbow
Then yeah

well i have a mention plugin public, looking to support luckperms to have chat color same as the player's rank colour after the mention
nocturne elbow
Well you can't really get "the color of the prefix", what if the prefix for my operator group is &#c42e00O&#ca3a00p&#d04700e&#d65400r&#dc6100a&#e26e00t&#e87b00o&#ee8800r&f (a nice smooth gradient)? It has many colors, one for each letter, which one should I pick?
If you want to do this with the API the proper way, I suggest you use MetaNodes (a key->value pair node used to store arbitrary data as a string), have a meta node for the key rank-color (or whatever, idk) and for each group set a different value for it, the value would be the color code desired

gonna repost from general into here because it's more fitting:
is there a way to maintain any transient nodes on a player while saving a regular node?
from what I understand, transient nodes are just normal nodes which are never saved - meaning as soon as the user is saved when regular nodes are applied to them, the transient nodes are also saved and stop being lost on logout.
is there a way to keep those nodes transient, or only save the nodes that I want to be saved for a user instead of any and all changes made to them?
nocturne elbow
Transient nodes are never saved
Period
If you want transient nodes to be saved..... put the nodes in the normal data map instead of the transient data map?
Like, they are still nodes, there is no difference there, the difference relies in which NodeMap they are "saved" (in memory)
tribal wave
oooooooooh i was under the impression that there was no difference at all between transient and normal nodes except for them not being saved with the saveUser() function
nocturne elbow
There is no difference between the nodes themselves, they are Node instances
tribal wave
sorry let me rephrase, i mean i thought that if you saved a node that was applied as a transient node with saveUser() it would be considered a normal node from then on
nocturne elbow
But the PermissionHolder has two NodeMaps: one for the DataType.NORMAL, those nodes are saved to storage; and another for DataType.TRANSIENT, those nodes are not saved to storage
nocturne elbow
sorry let me rephrase, i mean i thought that if you saved a node that was applie...
non
nocturne elbow
sorry let me rephrase, i mean i thought that if you saved a node that was applie...
I mean having two different types for that would defeat the purpose of transient nodes and be totally pointless lol
tribal wave
yeah... 🥲 i don't know what I was thinking
but now that I know it works like this, do I make transient nodes with Node.builder() just like normal nodes
or do I have to do something fancier
or wait
ohh do i apply them to the PermissionHolder differently then
nocturne elbow
what
nocturne elbow
but now that I know it works like this, do I make transient nodes with Node.buil...
yes
both NodeMaps store regular everyday Nodes
there is no difference between the nodes themselves
They are all Nodes
tribal wave
gotcha
so what I want to do is get the transient NodeMap from the permissionHolder instead of the normal one
and add the node to that

it is most definitely called on bungeecord too
can you share the code you use on bungee to register your event listener?
bear in mind, if the change is applied on bukkit, the event will not be called on bungee, and vice versa
in other words, if you use /lpb to make the change, the event will be called on bungeecord, not bukkit

and how can I make it be called on both. Or which event is suitable for this?

Yes there are methods to look up players with certain permissions. And since group assignments are just that, it's pretty easy actually
nocturne elbow
Awesome! So I’d just have to index all players cache with luckpermsapi somehow, then check for permission “group.””” And account for that?
Non, the method BrainStone was talking about is UserManager#searchAll(NodeMatcher) :)

got it thanks, hate to ask for spoonfeeding but im a bit confused on how exactly to implement this? it seems to want a CompletableFuture<Map<UUID, Collection<T>>> which i dont understand, documentation didnt really help much too, id appreciate any help?
crystal sonnet
@nocturne elbow are you sure that’s not the return type?
nocturne elbow
Return type?
Yeah, that’s the value it’s looking for I think
I’m not sure on how exactly to match it
crystal sonnet
It’s not looking for that. That’s what you are getting back @nocturne elbow
Do you know basic programming?
nocturne elbow
Yeah very basic
crystal sonnet
Then this isn’t for you yet. Making plugins is not suitable for beginners to programming
And this API expects you to know a fair bit more about programming that you need for plugins
nocturne elbow
Well I can make basic stuff still, that’s what learning is for right?
I just need to know what exactly this method is trying to do and how to convert that to the values I want
crystal sonnet
Sure. But you’re currently learning to walk. And this is a double marathon
crystal sonnet
I just need to know what exactly this method is trying to do and how to convert ...
That’s the issue. That is something you should be able to easily figure out yourself
nocturne elbow
Haha guess you’re right
crystal sonnet
I’m not saying you can’t learn these things. I’m just saying you’re jumping into the very deep end
nocturne elbow
Alright, if possible could u explain where the flaw in my thinking is though? I’m just confused because that’s the value it’s giving me, presumably I have to set some variable to that returned variable right?
crystal sonnet
Absolutely not
crystal sonnet
It’s a return value
nocturne elbow
Return value, like for a public variable?
crystal sonnet
Process it the way you need
I mean that’s the thing. If you don’t understand what a return value of a function is I have no meaningful way to even begin to convey to you what you’d need to do
You’re lacking the very very basics
nocturne elbow
I understand what a return value is, just not in this context
crystal sonnet
The only thing I can do is to spoonfeed you the solution
nocturne elbow
For example like if we have a method that returns a Boolean after specified parameters are inserted, like for example if I want to check for whether or not there is a dirt block in range, I’d do something like public boolean... return true/false
warm crane
nocturne elbow
So my understanding is that this is somewhat similar to this return value you’re showing me?
crystal sonnet
!ask @nocturne elbow
frank driftBOT
crystal sonnet
Also check the channel (description) to verify you’re in the right channel @warm crane
crystal sonnet
So my understanding is that this is somewhat similar to this return value you’re...
A return value is what you get back from a function. And the return type is what type that return value has. In the method signature it shows you what return type the function has
@warm crane not if you’re straight up ignoring what I write
nocturne elbow
Ooo I see, like void means no return value right? Or like Boolean, int etc
crystal sonnet
Yes
nocturne elbow
Is that the “return type” you mean?
crystal sonnet
Yes
nocturne elbow
Oh awesome, so I’d set up some function like completeablefuture<...> to return queries based on params specified elsewhere?
crystal sonnet
No
nocturne elbow
Oh okay
crystal sonnet
The function already exists
nocturne elbow
I see? How do I use it then?
If you don’t mind me asking
Thanks for helping me by the way, really appreciate it
crystal sonnet
You call the function and process the return value
nocturne elbow
Could you show me some pseduocode for how would that look? Can’t really wrap my head around it haha
Cuz if the function already exists it still needs params right? And I’m assuming it wants map UUID and such
nocturne elbow
Would that UUID map be compiled beforehand? Like for all offline players? But I thought luckperms already cached all players offline
Ohhh
Oh ok ok ok
crystal sonnet
The parameter types are in the parentheses
crystal sonnet
As I said
nocturne elbow
So you specify what you want, in my case the amount of users that inherit a group, set that to an int, and it’ll just return it?
crystal sonnet
This is waay too advanced for you if you don’t even know the very very very basics
crystal sonnet
So you specify what you want, in my case the amount of users that inherit a grou...
No
nocturne elbow
Can’t stick with the basics man plunging right in is how to learn
crystal sonnet
Then good luck. I’m out
nocturne elbow
Oh alright :/
crystal sonnet
Because again. There is no meaningful way I can even try to begin to explain what you have to do except spoonfeeding
And that is something I categorically refuse to do
nocturne elbow
Yeah I feel u, I don’t want to be spoon fed anyways
But even sometimes spoonfeeding can help, not that I want it but it’s definitely a form of learning
crystal sonnet
Good. Then you’re at least 2 months of experience shy from being able to do this
nocturne elbow
Damn 👀
crystal sonnet
And that is cutting it close
crystal sonnet
But even sometimes spoonfeeding can help, not that I want it but it’s definitely...
I found it to be very ineffective unless the feeder is there for consistent feeding

Found a small issue - if listening to NodeMutateEvent and doing something blocking (like a discord api call, which is how I found this), the command will execute and display success but not write changes to the database. I'm not sure if this is local to my environment and setup, and I don't feel familiar enough with the api design to know if this is intended behavior or a bug.
nocturne elbow
"something blocking" could be a simple Thread.sleep? Are you able to reliably reproduce this?

I can reliably reproduce it with a custom plugin. Would you like me to replace my method with a Thread.sleep to see if it still happens?

I replaced the code that was blocking with a 10s Thread.sleep and the bug vanished. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it that replacing the method was the thing that broke the bug for a few hours, but that's probably since it's a bit late. I've also tried a few other hacks (such as doing pointless operations a billion times or something like time = now + 10s; while (current time < time) do nothing) in case thread.sleep was allowing other things to happen in the background - that didn't reproduce the bug either. Want me to upload the method causing the bug to occur?

}
This method causes all the issues when called in the NodeMutateEvent
It uses the JDA library for Discord.
And the sync.getUser function fires off a mysql query to a database with discord user ids and ingame uuids
Oh, and bridge.getPermission is a fun method that queries permissions for offline users. The current implementation is
public boolean hasPermission(UUID user, String permission) {
return LuckPermsProvider.get().getUserManager().loadUser(user).join().getCachedData().getPermissionData().checkPermission(permission).asBoolean();

Making plugins is not suitable for beginners. Which is even more true for using the LuckPerms API

In case anyone has the same problem I did with database write issues in the future... after an extremely embarrassing amount of time cloning the offending plugin and removing as much functionality as I could without the bug vanishing, I was left with this.
LuckPermsProvider.get().getEventBus().subscribe(NodeMutateEvent.class, nodeMutateEvent -> {
if (!nodeMutateEvent.isUser()) return;
LuckPermsProvider.get().getUserManager().loadUser(((User) nodeMutateEvent.getTarget()).getUniqueId()).join().getCachedData().getPermissionData().checkPermission("group.default").asBoolean();
});```
There are some days I question my past self. 🤦why are you loading the user if it's already in the event lol
wheat breach
The event was calling another method that called another method that called another method that used a permission handler system where the plugin side was abstracted away and was supposed to work with offline users.
nocturne elbow
you can also do LuckPermsEvent#getLuckPerms() btw to get the specific LP instance for that event (not like it'll differ from the one the provider gives but it'd be a better idea)
wheat breach
Needless to say, I feel incredibly stupid now lol
Welp, now at least if I make that mistake in the future it won't take approx. 12 hours to fix lol
nocturne elbow
I still want to know why you're calling loadUser if the user object is already the event target lmao
just curious btw
wheat breach
The plugin's essentially a homemade version of DiscordSRV but one that runs on bungee so I don't have to have like 5 things connected to discord and triggering the connection ratelimit
The method that was originally being called listened for changes ingame to change a user's discord roles depending on their ingame roles
nocturne elbow
right
wheat breach
Since Bungee's offline player support is garbage, I wrote an interface for permission handling with a hasPermission(UUID, String) function
Since this is just a network for friends, I don't want to have like 20+ spigot or forge servers running at once (they want me to install a modpack and play it for like a day >.<).
Once they pinged me 38 times in 30 minutes to start one of them I decided to make a ?start <name>, but I wanted it to check ingame permissions (since there's test servers and such they have no business on)
(I already had a mysql database mapping discord user ids to uuids btw)
So now I have an offline player checking a single permission. And then I wanted to mirror groups to discord, and figured "What's the harm in reusing the PermissionsHandler.hasPermission(UUID, String) function?" since all the actual handling was in LuckPermsPermissionHandler.
The mirroring itself was also done in a function called recalculateRoles(UUID) in a different class, so I forgot that the user's data was already loaded when writing the function.
tl;dr i abstracted enough that i forgot what i actually had loaded at the time

Bad use of static is the reason why commands like /reload (or plugman reloads) are unsafe tbh, in my experience (especially when I didn't know any better), static can lead to some really weird silent issues, particularly in android development.
I really do not see a reason why those 2 should be static in that class, especially because you are instantiating them... from a non static context (registerTeams)?
Not trying to "frighten" people or anything, it's a suggestion I thought the second I saw them because

Not sure what is it exactly you need to do, but usually the best is to getCachedData, get meta cache and get the value for the key you want
Can't remember the exact methods but you can start in PermissionHolder#getCachedData

Yeah. Cached Data contains the meta values after resolved inheritance
mossy surge
Not sure what is it *exactly* you need to do, but usually the best is to getCach...
I think I will need to get the meta data before luckperms resolves the inheritance because otherwise some groups meta data will be overwritten and I need to get all groups meta data.
crystal sonnet
I think I will need to get the meta data before luckperms resolves the inheritan...
That sounds like a terrible idea
I mean if you need the data before it was resolved
mossy surge
That sounds like a terrible idea
I'm very open to other solutions 😛
crystal sonnet
What are you doing where you would need that?
Like if you need that you clearly don't use meta for key-value pairs but as an extended data storage and that's not what it was made for
mossy surge
each group has a meta data field called "discord_role" and I need to collect all roles and add them to the user using a discord api
crystal sonnet
That sounds like you should use your own data storage
But the best way would be to build a map with that mapping and rebuild it once permission data changes
So in short you iterate over all groups and get their discord role through the group's cached data and store that in a map
Then get the user's groups and use the map to figure out the discord roles
And also listen to changes in permissions to rebuild that map
I think changes in groups are enough

Hey i am running a SMP server and i am planning to have 2 different SMP servers in the hub. The thing is, when i try to make new ranks on the new smp i edit the ranks from the other smp. i think this is because its connected with bungeecord. does anyone know how to make a seperate luckperms editor for the other smp?
nocturne elbow
Is.. this to do with the developer api?
mossy surge
Then get the user's groups and use the map to figure out the discord roles
I'm almost there but I'm stuck at retrieving all users groups. Is there a cool helper that allows me to do that?
nocturne elbow
getInheritedGroups?
mossy surge
getInheritedGroups? <:thonk:744308420848648292>
It just gives me the default group. Am I meant to recursively call it? This feels like something that should be a part of the api 😛
nocturne elbow
No, hence the name, getInheritedGroups lol
I don't remember exactly but maybe it takes some QueryOptions?
crystal sonnet
Pretty sure you can get all groups with a single call
mossy surge
@crystal sonnet Got it working perfectly now! 🙂
One more question: When I add a group to a user(either with a command ingame or with the API), is all the cached data/values refreshed on the fly in the luckperms api or do I have to call refresh on something?
crystal sonnet
That should be all refreshed
Regarding your mapping: you do update it when there's an update in the LP data, right?
mossy surge
Regarding your mapping: you do update it when there's an update in the LP data, ...
Not right now but I plan on it. We already restart our server once a day so this is a job that will be executed against all our players once a day

I'm trying to get the expiry time of a permission node of a user
but it doesn't work for some reason
here's a picture of my code
am I doing it the right way ?

@zealous rose check out the cook book repo. I'm sure there's an example on how to do that the right way

huh?

What doesnt work
zealous rose
I'm doing a command where it show the time left for the rank to be expired, i've tried a method as showen in the screenshot. The thing is that i can't find a way to filter his Nodes to get the last permission node and then get it's expiry time
sorry for the bad english

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. I'm not using the luckperms API, I'm just developing a bungee plugin. My question is: why is it that I am able to use ProxiedPlayer.hasPermission("some.permission") and it returns true when I have that permission, but when I loop through the Collection<String>ProxiedPlayer.getPermissions(), all I get is "bungeecord.command.list" and "bungeecord.command.server"
I think it's a fairly reasonable expectation that if hasPermission("some.permission") returns true, then the list of permissions returned by getPermissions() should contain that same permission. What am I missing here? Obviously I am able to check the permission directly, but I need to be able to loops through the permissions and match certain permissions.
My setup is using SQL for storage method and plugin messaging on both bungee and spigot
My assumption is that behind the scenes, the hasPermission function just checks against the collection returned by getPermission
crystal sonnet
There’s significantly more logic going on. Every permissions plugin does a lot more than just maintain such a list.
compact spruce
but my point is, hasPermission is a bungeecord api function that correctly returns that the player has the permission
the luckperms bungee plugin has to somehow have made that data available for my plugin to be able to correctly check hasPermission
and I'm looking at the bungee source code right now and it does in fact check the same Collection that getPermissions returns
so I don't get how this is possible
oh i think I see.
@Override
public Collection<String> getPermissions()
{
return Collections.unmodifiableCollection( permissions );
}
it seems that it doesn't allow you to modify the list returned by getPermissions. Yet somehow luckperms is able to insert data that is read by hasPermission
crystal sonnet
It’s possible because permission plugins override both functions
crystal sonnet
Or at the very least the hasPermission function
Are you checking the bungee source code or the bungee api source code?
crystal sonnet
More or less
compact spruce
doesn't tell me much about what's happening
like you can implement proxied player I guess but you'd have to reimplement the entire server to be able to insert your implementation into the ProxiedPlayer list
because that also returns an unmodifiable collection
I'm confused
crystal sonnet
Frankly I can’t tell you where exactly bungee performs the insertion. But permission plugins essentially override the hasPermission function
compact spruce
I mostly just wanted to know if there's a way I can loop through the permissions and check for wildcards
and I can't find away other than sending the permissions from spigot via plugin messaging
or via another server
crystal sonnet
While it’s possible that the permission list function remains unchanged, meaning it just reads from the BungeeCord config.yml
compact spruce
What i got from luckperms website was that the permissions were synced across servers
and that is correct, i am able to check if the user has a permission inside bungee
i'm just not able to loop through them i guess
that's unfortunate
crystal sonnet
I mostly just wanted to know if there's a way I can loop through the permissions...
You’d need to use the API for that if the permissions list function doesn’t return what you neee
compact spruce
I thought I might have to. I don't know anything about the API, presumably it's linked on the luckperms site? hopefully a maven dependency I can add
