#(trork) NPC Nametags suddenly appearing

Hello! I'm having some trouble, I'm making a minigame plugin and after while of being around the NPCs their empty names suddenly appear (and show the scoreboard objectives as well). I spawn them using the API and I set the NAMEPLATE_VISIBLE property to false.
From what I understand this property creates a team and hides the nametag right? So I'm not sure why the name is popping back up, at first I thought this was something related to my scoreboard objectives but I realized the problem is that the NPC name suddenly comes back.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

yes, this is a scoreboard conflict

if you want you can search for the problematic plugin or set always-use-name-holograms to true in settings

graceful plaza
#

Then the problem is my own plugin, what could the problem be? What could I be doing in the code to cause this?

hot jungle
#

you can only hide npc names with scoreboard (if not using hologram names)

graceful plaza
#

I'd enable always-use-name-holograms but it would show the scoreboard objectives and I don't want that

hot jungle
#

how would it show the scoreboard objectives?

graceful plaza
#

the below_name health objective

#

as far as I understand if the npc name is visible the below_name objective appears as well

#

That's why I'm using holograms

hot jungle
#

that's not my understanding

graceful plaza
#

The "always-use-name-holograms" uses the NPC name as a hologram line?

#

Or what does it do?

hot jungle
#

it uses a hologram to display the npc name

#

the entity name becomes a uuid

graceful plaza
#

And how does that stop the NPC's name from being shown suddenly?

hot jungle
#

Its less likely to cause scoreboard naming conflicts

#

A common cause of scoreboard conflicts is the name being duplicated across two player entities and causing a conflict

#

But yes, fundamentally you have a scoreboard conflict, the npc isn’t in the right scoreboard with name visibility set to off

graceful plaza
#

But that's weird, I interact with the player's scoreboard but I never remove teams, only teams created by me with custom names

#

Where are the npc teams created for the player? their scoreboard or the main server scoreboard?

hot jungle
#

There’s some packets, it uses teams on Util.getDummyScoreboard()

graceful plaza
#

I'll enable that flag and test it

graceful plaza
#

I think it worked, its difficult to know it happens randomly but activating that flag seemed to fix it

hot jungle
#

Great, if it comes back then you need to look at your scoreboard usage
