(snozbear) Placeholder empty

[foggy moat]

Hey there,

Is there a way to make a placeholder return null if its empty? Currently it just spits out the raw placeholder

<placeholder[fabled_player_Class_attribute:vitality].if_null[0]>

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.

!t <placeholder.player>

[waxen jacinth]

Tag: <placeholder[<name>].player[<player>]>

Returns the value of the placeholder for the specified player.

Required Plugins or Platforms

Depenizen, PlaceholderAPI

Returns

ElementTag

It looks like it’s looking for a server placeholder, not an individual player placeholder

[foggy moat]

Oh that works lol, weirdly it works fine if theyre professed into a class but if they arent it just gives the raw thingy

Tysm!

I accidentally professed into a class

[zealous arrow]

What?

[foggy moat]

Sorry, so the placeholder is empty until a player professes into a class. So when its empty I need it to return as 0, but currently it just gives me back the placeholder like %placeholder%

so, I was wondering if theres a way to get the placeholder to return null when its empty I guess

!t if_null

[waxen jacinth]

Tag: <ObjectTag.if_null[<object>]>

If the object is null (or the tag errors), this will return the input object.
If the object isn't null, the input won't be parsed, and the original object will be returned.
For example, "<player.if_null[<npc>]>" will return the player if there is a player, and otherwise will return the NPC.
This functions as a fallback - meaning, if the tag up to this point errors, that error will be hidden.

Returns

ObjectTag

Not sure how placeholders work.

[foggy moat]

<placeholder[fabled_player_Class_attribute:vitality].if_null[0]> returns as 0 when theyre professed into a class, but when they arent it just comes back as %fabled_player_Class_attribute:vitality%

Unfortunately that's probably more to do with how PAPI deals with placeholders - if it doesn't exist it just returns the raw placeholder text. You could always test whether the raw placeholder was returned

[foggy moat]

I see, rip. I'm trying to do it in an item's lore which makes it a bit more annoying

or maybe ill just make it so they can't open the menu if theyre not professed lmao

[fleet halo]

Do you have a way to tell if they are professed?

If so you could use ternary

!t tern

Cannot Specify Searched Tag

Multiple possible tags: <QuaternionTag.slerp[end=<quaternion>;amount=<amount>]>, <LocationTag.patterns>, <ItemTag.patterns>, <QuaternionTag.x>, <QuaternionTag.y>, <QuaternionTag.z>, <QuaternionTag.w>, <QuaternionTag.xyz>, <QuaternionTag.xyzw>, <QuaternionTag.plus[<quaternion>]>, <QuaternionTag.mul[<quaternion>]>, <QuaternionTag.scale[<factor>]>, <QuaternionTag.length>, <QuaternionTag.length>, <QuaternionTag.inverse>, <quaternion[<quaternion>]>, <QuaternionTag.negative>, <QuaternionTag.transform[<vector>]>, <LocationTag.lectern_page>, <QuaternionTag.normalize>, ...

[foggy moat]

yeah but its more placeholders lol

[fleet halo]

As long as that returns something always, that should be fine

!t tern.pass.fail

[waxen jacinth]

Tag: <tern[<condition>].pass[<result>].fail[<result>]>

Returns either the 'pass' input, or 'fail' input depending on the outcome of the condition.
The 'pass' input will be returned when the condition returns 'true', otherwise the 'fail' input will be returned.
Example: '<tern[<player.is_spawned>].pass[Player is spawned!].fail[Player is not spawned!]>'
Consider instead using !tag ElementTag.if_true.if_false

Returns

ObjectTag

[foggy moat]

oh I see, alrighty I'll give that a whirl

[next thicket]

See the meta there ^, generally nicer to use

!t if_true.if_false

[waxen jacinth]

Tag: <ElementTag.if_true[<object>].if_false[<object>]>

If this element is 'true', returns the first given object. If it isn't 'true', returns the second given object.
If the input objects are tags, only the matching tag will be parsed.
For example: "<player.exists.if_true[<player.name>].if_false[server]>"
will return the player's name if there's a player present, or if not will return 'server', and won't show any errors from the '<player.name>' tag even without a player linked.
