(sytek3299) new tag for server.player_is_valid, if <context.server>

I was using denizen very long ago and could not find what is the replacement of server.player_is_valid
or checking if denizen script command is run in console if <context.server>

(sytek3299) new tag for server.player_is_valid, if <context.server>

[thorny glen]

!t server.match_player

[opaque pulsar]

Tag: <server.match_player[<name>]>

Returns the online player that best matches the input name.
EG, in a group of 'bo', 'bob', and 'bobby'... input 'bob' returns player object for 'bob',
input 'bobb' returns player object for 'bobby', and input 'b' returns player object for 'bo'.

Returns

PlayerTag

thanks

then i need to check if that not null

unlike old tag player_is_valid return true false

if no other option then ill take it

I assume you could do <server.match_player[].is_online.if_null[false]> or <server.match_player[].is_truthy.if_null[false]>

[austere hazel]

!t is_truthy

[opaque pulsar]

Tag: <ObjectTag.is_truthy>

Returns true if the object is 'truthy'. An object is 'truthy' if it exists and is valid, and does not represent a concept like emptiness.
An empty list or an air item will return 'false'. Plaintext "null" or "false", an empty element, or a numeric zero will return 'false' as well.
Some object types may have their own logical implementations, for examples an EntityTag value is 'truthy' only if the entity it represents is spawned.
Errored/broken/invalid tags are also considered 'false' by this log...

Returns

ElementTag(Boolean)

^ it's already a fallback, no need for an extra if_null

Also pretty sure player_is_valid was just a "whether the server has a player by that name", not an online check

But depending on what you're doing you probably don't need that sort of check anymore, e.g. if it's in a command script you'd just

- define player <server.match_player[<context.args.first>].if_null[null]>
- if <[player]> == null:
  - narrate bad
  - stop
- do things

I.e. just get the player once with a fallback instead of having 2 separate checks

Right xP
