help-development

[hasty prawn]

yeah won't matter then probs

[slate mortar]

also i'd have to rewrite my whole command system

and no, thanks

[vocal cloud]

Slash commands are easier to search through

[slate mortar]

ofc

but on my bot, you can just do ;help <command>

and it outputs an entire fancy embed message with all yu need to know

which only you can see

[vocal cloud]

Well with slash it also allows for the ability to not need a help command as all that info is built into discord.

[slate mortar]

it costs me more time to rewrite the sytem than it costs me to use ;help <command>

so i won't change except they really force me

[iron glade]

wasn't your name like celina or smth not long ago?

[slate mortar]

possible

[vocal cloud]

Yeah but for the spigot bot it'd be nice

[gray merlin]

I'm using it

[ancient plank]

it's ?cc

[gray merlin]

The NMS methods change on some versions.

[hasty prawn]

?cc

how dare you.

[eternal night]

wow

mods lying to us now

wrong guns

[slate mortar]

what has this become if even mods don't tell the truth

[vocal cloud]

Reported

[ancient plank]

Ppl spam them so ssamjh removed a lot of perms

[hasty prawn]

[slate mortar]

i wonder

?cc

[vocal cloud]

It's my commands and I want it now

[slate mortar]

even me?

this is disgusting

where tf did my file go

[hasty prawn]

I would've rioted if it worked for you and not me

[slate mortar]

i'm clearly a trustful person

[ancient plank]

Ppl are asking for help here so go to another channel for your discussions

[smoky oak]

on the topic of needing help

[eternal night]

call getResource on the class loader

not the instance itself

[young knoll]

Isn't there like

[smoky oak]

'non static method cannot be accessed from a static context'

[young knoll]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/plugin/Plugin.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

[smoky oak]

yea thats what im using

or trying to use

[young knoll]

Check the path in the jar to be sure

[smoky oak]

well it works with the same path and the test command

resource path is good in the built jar too

i want to know why the SAME method call does work on one occasion but doesnt on the other

[young knoll]

Where is the one that returns null called from

[smoky oak]

//This is an eventHandler class
Echo instance;
    public EventHookPlayerInteract(Echo echo){
        instance = echo;
    }
//...
Structure struct = RStructHandler.findStruct(instance,event.getClickedBlock().getLocation());```
calls, through a loop that gives some more args, and passes down instance 
```java
public static MultiBlockStructure getMBS(Echo instance, String path, String name, Boolean strict, Boolean ignoreAir){
        try{
            InputStream inputStream = instance.getResource(path);
            if(inputStream==null) throw new RuntimeException("Input Stream <"+path+"> doesn't exist.");

[mellow pebble]

can someone help me a bit ? how should i add this to my project so i can use it in my plugin classes that i create https://github.com/NoSequel/TabAPI

[quiet ice]

The issue is that you probably need to find someone hosting that artifact on maven

[tall dragon]

orrr jitpack

[smoky oak]

update: rebooting didnt help

[mellow pebble]

nobody is probably hosting it on maven

if it would be on maven i would easily do it already

[quiet ice]

Apparently jitpack fails

[tall dragon]

it does?

[quiet ice]

I'll see if I can publish an artifact

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/NoSequel/TabAPI/issues/11 idk

[mellow pebble]

wow sure yeah

[quiet ice]

oh jesus that repo is a chonker

[mellow pebble]

why dont people just put everything on maven

muuch muuch easier

AHHAHA

[tall dragon]

i am able to look it up tho https://jitpack.io/#NoSequel/TabAPI/main-c51f5f5b3f-1

[mellow pebble]

that is probably the only api that can sort of be used and that has some sort of example how to use it

[tall dragon]

make your own 😄

[quiet ice]

Oh yeah, jitpack works

[mellow pebble]

tabapi that is on spigot is 1.12 to above but i plan on 1.8 to above so that is not really a option

[mellow pebble]

well 2 guys told me NMS or packet wrapper but i dont know how to use either

[quiet ice]

You probably want to depend on that shared dependency, but given that I have never used it so idk

[tall dragon]

time to learn then

[mellow pebble]

well from where

Yeah sorry, fails to build for me

[mellow pebble]

so i should learn NMS ig

[smoky oak]

okay
well then
can SOMEONE explain what im supposed to use in place of File.separator, because that doesnt work

[21:50:10] [Server thread/INFO]: [Shards] Trying to access: structure\ritual_struct\amethyst\amethyst_01.dat
[21:50:10] [Server thread/WARN]: [Shards] Tried to access a non-existent resource file: structure\ritual_struct\amethyst\amethyst_01.dat```

second doesnt work

[young knoll]

It should

[smoky oak]

second is generated using strings and File.separator

wtf

[fleet comet]

?paste

[undone axle]

https://paste.md-5.net/

[quiet ice]

And ProtocolSupport is a gradle project, so yeah that is where it ends I guess

And WTF, why is that project AGPL

[smoky oak]

AH

file.pathSeparator

i hate java sometimes

[tall dragon]

what ru even tryna do in the end

[mellow pebble]

yk that hub core tablist

hahahah

[tall dragon]

no i dont

[smoky oak]

URGH

so apparantly file.pathSeparator is a ';' for some reason

so neither file.separator nor file.pathseparator allows me to create a functional path

any ideas

[kind hatch]

It's probably something with how you are using that value. You have value 1 acting as a double in a string format. Your second value is the string representation of null. You then try using value1 for the player name and value2 for something else. So value1 is most likely null as there will never be a player named 20.0

[vivid skiff]

How can i make spawn a armorstand looiking at the player who spawned it?

[flint coyote]

What are you trying to do?

[smoky oak]

trying to find out why file.separator isnt working

redemptd dmd me to just use / which SEEMS to work

[flint coyote]

what does it return?

[smoky oak]

a NPE

[flint coyote]

lol

What about
FileSystems.getDefault().getSeparator()

but yeah you can add the slashes as a string aswell

[smoky oak]

refer to this for nonsense ig

[smoky oak]

also returns a backslash

which is kinda the issue here

spigot wants a forward slash for some godforsaken reason

[flint coyote]

Just manually create a path string then

with slashes

[smoky oak]

yea thats what im doing now

[kind hatch]

Well a forward slash is the most common since 90% of the internet runs on UNIX based OSes.

It's also pretty much the standard when it comes to zip files as well.

[smoky oak]

probably cuz unix is free

[flint coyote]

and unix is a lot more stable and faster than Windows

Perfect for servers

[kind hatch]

Also, regarding this, how do you define your path variable?

[sacred mountain]

how should i go about tracking this

[kind hatch]

When dealing with internal resources, you just start at the parent directory.

[sacred mountain]

im thinking about mojang statistics

and checking the distance difference every 10 seconds or something

but im not sure how to get those stats

[smoky oak]

via a loop but you can see at the screenshot its existing

[smoky oak]

theres a event for when statistics change but i dont recall what it was

[kind hatch]

Wdym with a loop? Are you saving multiple resources? If so, are you modifying the path all before using it in a loop? How is that variable defined?

[sacred mountain]

PlayerStatisticIncrementEvent

WALK_ONE_CM?

[smoky oak]

this the old code

https://paste.md-5.net/belotuneze.js

im looping to check which object is interacted with

[flint coyote]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/OfflinePlayer.html#getStatistic(org.bukkit.Statistic)

[sacred mountain]

ah i see

oh right

thats simple

lmao

thanks

[flint coyote]

also works for Player. No need for OfflinePlayer

[lost matrix]

Every few seconds you check how much the statistic changed *since the start of the quest

[sacred mountain]

yeah thx i got it

[smoky oak]

thats a much better idea than playermoveevent tbh

[gray merlin]

Hey, sometimes my GUI closes randomly, without me doing anything

Why would that be?

not sometimes, it's consistent, in the first seconds of it being open

[lost matrix]

You close the GUI through code somehow

[iron glade]

then you have some issue in your code

[kind hatch]

Is there any specific reason why you are using Paths#get() instead of the more common File.separator? There's a number of ways you can get a much more accurate path than that method. One of them being just making a new file object and passing the path of that file instead. Or you could write the string manually and use the File.separator to make your path, since it's basically the same as what Paths#get() does.

[gray merlin]

I open that same GUI through a different command, and that issue doesn't happen tho.

[smoky oak]

both fuck me cuz theyre both backslashes and produce a npe as a result

hence me now using a forward slash character in place of file.separator

[iron glade]

Can't really help much, show code if you want or check it by yourself if there's something closing the GUI

[kind hatch]

Hold up. Are you only accessing internal resources? Not ones that have already been written to disk?

[smoky oak]

yes

[sacred mountain]

theres both walk_one_cm and sprint_one_cm

do i account for both and add them up

[gray merlin]

Will do, thanks.

[sacred mountain]

and fall_one_cm lmfao

theres a lot

[kind hatch]

Oh, then yea. You'll have to use forward slashes. Internal resources are treated differently. If it was on the disk, File.separator would work as expected. But when traversing internal directories, the behavior is different. I'm not 100% sure why, but the internal spigot methods like #saveResource() automatically convert backslashes into forward slashes.

[flint coyote]

You could also do your scheduler and check the distance from the last location. Sure it wouldn't account walking in circles correctly but it would be fine for the most part.

[sacred mountain]

yeah thats the problem

its for long distance stuff, so if they make a turn with an elytra or something it wont account for any of that

the mojang ones are pretty accurate so imma do that

[smoky oak]

it helps to know that spigot has a universal file separator in the form of a forward slash

[flint coyote]

Well if you do it every second it would :p

[smoky oak]

ill just never bother with file.separator in spigot ever again

[sacred mountain]

well yeah but i feel like that would be more resource intensive than just checking every 5 seconds

and theres no point since theres an easy way anyway

[lost matrix]

This is not a spigot issue. I also use this and never had any problems. Neither on windows nor Linux.

[flint coyote]

yeah then just add up the different ones you need

[sacred mountain]

AVIATE_ONE_CM

[kind hatch]

I think that's an overreaction, but to each their own. It's not really an issue with spigot, but the way things are handled in memory.

[sacred mountain]

what is this

is that elytra

[smoky oak]

thats levitation effect

shulker

[sacred mountain]

got it

[young knoll]

Distance by Elytra The total distance traveled by elytra. minecraft:aviate_one_cm

It's Elytra

[kind hatch]

I guess I should be a little more specific with this. Some of the internal spigot methods, not all of them, convert to the forward slash. It depends on the context that you use them. For instance, when saving resources from your jar file, you need to use a forward slash with #saveResource(). If you found another way to get the file from your jar, you would likely use File.separator to preserve the directory structure.

Either way, it's not going to hurt anything or anyone if you use the methods as they are intended.

[river oracle]

Is there a way to set server motd without using the ServerPingEvent or whatever its called.

[sacred mountain]

i thought so

I'm doing it with code

[lost matrix]

Why?

[river oracle]

hmmm actually 🤔 I might beable to do this without breaking oop gotta think

[lost matrix]

You can prevent static in 100% of cases

*excluding stuff like constants

[river oracle]

eh figured it out without static just going to be a pain to implement

[worldly ingot]

but i like static 🥺

[river oracle]

god no

in a good 90% of cases its just used wrong and makes code unbearable to maintain

the exception being an Actual Singleton class

If I develop a plugin for 1.19 using JDK16, and have it technically still be runnable in previous versions code-wise, will I be able to run it in servers that use a lower JDK?

so, 1.16.5 and older?

[smoky oak]

if u compile it on a lower jdk

[gray merlin]

But then I won't be able to run that on higher jdk's will I?

[smoky oak]

thats not true

[gray merlin]

Oh?

[smoky oak]

almost all java code runs on higher java versions flawlessly

parts of minecraft 1.19 still have java 1.8 code

Can anyone help me? I get this error: Error occurred while enabling Testing v1.0-SNAPSHOT (Is it up to date?) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics at me.jones.testing.Testing.onEnable(Testing.kt:14) ~[?:?] at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.setEnabled(JavaPlugin.java:264) ~[spigot-api-1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar:?] at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.enablePlugin(JavaPluginLoader.java:342) ~[spigot-api-1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar:?]

How can I fix this? I am initialising the Listener like this:```tk
var manager = Bukkit.getPluginManager()

    val joinlistener = JoinListener()
    manager.registerEvents(joinlistener, this)```

[lost matrix]

Did you shade the needed kotlin lib?

[coarse bridge]

Wdym? It worked with an easy msg to the console until I added the Listener...

[lost matrix]

You need to shadow the kotlin std lib into your plugin jar so you can use it on runtime

[coarse bridge]

How can I do this?

[lost matrix]

Any reason why you want to insist on using kotlin?

[gray merlin]

Can I develop plugins for, say, 1.16.5 with the 1.19 spigot pkg?

[lost matrix]

Probably. But thats a bad idea.

[coarse bridge]

What's the problem with Kotlin? It should be about the same

[lost matrix]

You develop for a version and hope that newer versions still support the plugin.

[gray merlin]

So there's no way to make a universal version?

I was going to use reflection on a lot of things for it, but I remembered that we need to download the api and yeah

[lost matrix]

Get the shadow plugin and shade in the kotlin std lib. Thats what you need to do anyways if you write kotlin for the standard jvm.

[kind hatch]

You can make your plugin support multiple versions, but don't expect it to be as easy as just using methods from the latest version of the API. APIs are constantly changing, so methods like reflection will only get you so far. If you want a plugin that'll run perfectly on every version, you need version specific code.

[coarse bridge]

But it worked until I used the plugin Manager. And the code is in Kotlin in the main. Or do you think that in this case I have to change the listener of the other program to Kotlin separately? In that case, I'm surprised that intellij doesn't do it itself

[fleet comet]

So I am making a custom items plugin using YML as the source for making the actual items. I'm using this code for left click actions, https://paste.md-5.net/axiwoqadub.cs
And it is saying that value1 is "null", not sure why. Here's the yml file i am using```yaml
id: "test_item"
name: "&bIt is a diamond!"
material: "DIAMOND"

enchantments:

• "minecraft:loyalty;1"

shape1: " "
shape2: " D "
shape3: "O O"

ingredients:

• "D;DIAMOND"
• "O;COAL_BLOCK"

laction:

• HEAL;%holder%;10.0

raction:

• KILL;%holder%```

[gray merlin]

||Yeah, I don't expect it to be easy. My only real deterrent here is the API that I have to import to be able to actually code it, I've got no idea how to get one that I can use for all of them/...|| Wait, the API that we use to code is provided to the plugin at runtime right?

Thus why we don't shade it

[kind hatch]

#help-development message

[lost matrix]

Show your whole JavaPlugin class pls

[fleet comet]

oh crap i forget the player

thats exactly why, it was my mistake in the YML

wait no i didnt

[kind hatch]

That's why multi-module projects exist. Yes, the code is provided at runtime, but if you are using the wrong version of the API, then you'll run into problems.

[fleet comet]

yeah true, but the problem i am having is that i set it in my config to %holder%, that gets replaced to the player that is holding the item's name. the thing is it isnt using the value i set in the YML item file??

heres my entire class, the problem lies within the leftClick part (end) https://paste.md-5.net/mohunimaro.java
Here's my YML left click config```yaml
laction:

• HEAL;%holder%;10.0

raction:

• KILL;%holder%```

[flint coyote]

why are you destroying the yaml format so badly? ;-;

[fleet comet]

i just figured out the issue

by you saying that

there not in strings ;-;

[flint coyote]

But please don't do it like that

that's just dirty and lazy

[grim oak]

okay turns out it was in the wrong directory, but there was also a plugin.yml in the correct directory

[fleet comet]

how should i do it then?

[tall dragon]

not like this man

[flint coyote]

with actual yaml? Multiple fields?
laction:
task: HEAL
target: %holder%
value: 10.0

something like that

[fleet comet]

yeah the problem with that is though that i want them to be able to use multible actions

[flint coyote]

well then make a list of actions

laction:
actions:
- HEAL
- TELEPORT
- USE_YAML

[fleet comet]

okay now let me change my entire yaml reader

[flint coyote]

or if each action needs more fields you nest it deeper

Aren't you using spigot?

[fleet comet]

yeah

[flint coyote]

Just use YamlConfiguration class 💀 It does everything for you

[fleet comet]

i am mate, i meant like how it reads.

what it reads

what methods

[flint coyote]

Oh

[fleet comet]

etc.

[flint coyote]

yeah do it right then xD

[fleet comet]

what method would i use to get this section thingy though?

[flint coyote]

YamlConfiguration#getStringList(path)

[fleet comet]

thats what im using though

also please let me keep this 🥺

[flint coyote]

no owo. What does the letter even mean

[fleet comet]

i-

i just couldn't take another for loop

[flint coyote]

why is that split in 3 paths aaaah

yaml murderer

[fleet comet]

i hate using for loops this much

[flint coyote]

💀

[fleet comet]

public void rightClickAction(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        List<String> actions = configuration.getStringList("raction");
        for (String a : actions) {
            a = a.replaceAll("%holder%", event.getPlayer().getName());
            List<String> ac = List.of(a.split(";"));
            ActionType type = ActionType.HEAL;
            String value1 = "imnobody";
            String value2 = "5.0";
            int index = 0;

                if (index == 0) {
                    type = ActionType.valueOf(acString);
                } else if (index == 1) {
                    value1 = acString;
                } else if (index == 3) {
                    value2 = acString;
                }
                index = index + 1;
            }
            try {
                switch (type) {
                    case KICK -> {
                        Bukkit.getPlayer(value1).kickPlayer(value2);
                    }
                    case HEAL -> {
                        Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(value1);
                        double amount = Double.parseDouble(value2);
                        double c = target.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).getBaseValue();
                        target.setHealth(target.getHealth() + amount);
                    }
                    case KILL -> {
                        Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(value1);
                        target.setHealth(0);
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Bukkit.getLogger().severe("There was an issue using this item.");
            }
        }
    }``` do you see all these for loops???

[flint coyote]

for(String str : cfg.getString(path).split("\n")

[fleet comet]

you can put .split after o:

[flint coyote]

ofc you can

[fleet comet]

im an idiot

[flint coyote]

lul

[fleet comet]

also shouldn't be getStringList not getString?

[flint coyote]

but your code is messy :x you should have a class that reads config values

Up to you. Either String list or one single multiline string

[urban kernel]

how do i get the way the player died in a playerdeathevent?

[fleet comet]

and why cant i just use what i am using?

still yaml

plus its cleaner

[flint coyote]

if there's no e.getReason() you can get the Players lastDamageCause

[fleet comet]

more room for more actions

[urban kernel]

is lastDamageCause an option in PDE

found it :P

e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();

what does that return

[flint coyote]

it's not cleaner. That's like using json and doing

"Abilities":["HEAL;%holder%;10.0","TELEPORT;%holder%,%spawn%"] instead of actually using a decent json structure

[urban kernel]

what does e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause(); return?

[flint coyote]

Something from the DamageCause Enum

ENTITY_ATTACK, PROJECTILE, CUSTOM etc

[fleet comet]

what i mean is there is more room for more actions, i have no reason to make it better. my goal is to make it functional

[flint coyote]

with a valid yaml structure you can also put more actions? I don't get your point.

And while making it functional might be enough for you know - you'll just get used to bad practices that you have to adapt later. Instead you should start doing it right directly. Will make it more understandable for everyone else aswell

[fleet comet]

im not sure how to redo my code to match that tho :/

[flint coyote]

Also lets say you wanna add 2 lists of unlimited length to your actions later? How you gonna do that?

Split them with ;; instead of ;?

you limit yourself for the future

[urban kernel]

is there a way to see all causes?

[flint coyote]

Well you basically use the functions from YamlConfiguration

getInt
getString
getStringList
and you will probably also have to loop
getConfigurationSection().getKeys(false)

[flint coyote]

Ctrl+space in your ide on the enum or by checking javadoc

google for "DamageCause spigot docs"

[fleet comet]

ehh ill do that tmr

[flint coyote]

I'm proud of yoh

u

[urban kernel]

if(!(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause() != DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK)) {

causes error

https://i-own-a.blacklisted.store/PYF8T4OP

how do i fix

fixed

[flint coyote]

yeah add getCause()

[urban kernel]

i fixed with

[flint coyote]

👍

[urban kernel]

if(!(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().equals(DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK))) {

[flint coyote]

that won't work 💀

[urban kernel]

rlly

[flint coyote]

getLastDamageCause returns the last EntityDamageEvent

so you need getLastDamageCause().getReason()

then you can do != again

[flint coyote]

getCause() sorry

[urban kernel]

if(!(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getCause().equals(DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK))) {?

[upper vale]

==

[urban kernel]

!=*

[flint coyote]

yup like that with != since you are comparing 2 enums

Although .equals() would default to == anyway. It's an avoidable extra method call

[urban kernel]

can you use colour codes &4 in ban reasons?

[flint coyote]

Also keep in mind that entity attack will not be the cause for skeletons arrows

[urban kernel]

i mostly want it for players

[flint coyote]

You have to translate them but yes I guess you can

[urban kernel]

aaaa how would i translate them

[flint coyote]

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCode('&', yourString);

returns a string with translated colors

[urban kernel]

tbf i cba

[flint coyote]

cba?

[urban kernel]

it's quarter past 11

[urban kernel]

cant be assed

[flint coyote]

I see

Yeah quarter past 12 for me

[urban kernel]

wow

[echo basalt]

mans got a very good sleep schedule

[flint coyote]

But I'm driving since 14 hours so might aswell help people in here instead of being bored

[echo basalt]

very developer unlike

[flint coyote]

True. I'm usually awake till 5-7 when I don't have to work

[urban kernel]

is there a specifit type of DamageCause for player-inflicted damage?

[flint coyote]

No you would have to track it using the entitydamagebyentityevent

[urban kernel]

wait

cant i just use getCause.getEntity

e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntity()

[flint coyote]

how would a cause have an entity?

Or does that actually work?

[urban kernel]

if it's a DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK

[flint coyote]

Yeah but there's no entity attached to it

[boreal python]

How would I give mooshrooms invisibility? (No particles)

[urban kernel]

oh

[urban kernel]

LivingEntity#setInvisible iirc

1.16+

[onyx fjord]

Mushrooms?

Wdym

[flint coyote]

mooshrooms

[boreal python]

the red cows

[flint coyote]

the cows

[onyx fjord]

Ooh

[boreal python]

👍

[onyx fjord]

Ye what he said

Tho I think you can disable ambient particles when using effect too

[urban kernel]

is a drop considered a LivingEntity?

[flint coyote]

no

just an Entity

[urban kernel]

alr

just wondering :P

but how would i get the entity from the DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK

[flint coyote]

That's the neat part: You don't

[urban kernel]

aaaaaaaaaaaa

[timid jetty]

funny cause ive got a question in the same vein

[flint coyote]

Track it with EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[urban kernel]

can i have 2 events in the same class

:P

[flint coyote]

Yes

[timid jetty]

in EntityDamageByEntityEvent, event.getDamager() refers to the entity that shot projectile in the case of a projectile damaging

[timid jetty]

ive got an entire class for listeners so yeah

[flint coyote]

no it refers to the projectile

[buoyant viper]

does it? u mean i dont need to have this jank solution that checks the shooter of a projectile?

[flint coyote]

but you can do projectile.getShooter()

[timid jetty]

ah yeah thats it sorry been a week since i worked with my code you know how it is lmao

[flint coyote]

you actually need that

[buoyant viper]

😔

[flint coyote]

You can make a Utils class for it tho

[delicate lynx]

this doesn't get the shooter, it gets the actually arrow/projectile

[flint coyote]

or more like 1 function in a utils class. Or just add the function to the listener class

[timid jetty]

honestly at this point probably makes sense for me to do a damageByPlayer event or something and check that

[urban kernel]

how do i see if EntityDamageByEntityEvent#getDamager is a player or not

[timid jetty]

getDamager() instanceof Player

[urban kernel]

ty

[flint coyote]

That's basically what you would achieve when using the EntityDamageByEntityEvent anyway

just with extra steps

[timid jetty]

yeah im doing it in like 4 separate listeners wonder if I just create my own class

like own event

[flint coyote]

keep in mind that a player shooting an arrow will not return true on instanceof player

[timid jetty]

also not wolves, tnt or anything else where you can get source

[flint coyote]

yeah why not

[timid jetty]

welp guess im doing that first lmao

[flint coyote]

Yup that's why I usually have a method that checks all the cases where a player is involved. Never added tnt tho

[urban kernel]

aaaaaaa lifesteal plugin go brrrrrrrrrrrr

[timid jetty]

should i do a method or rather create a new event, cause i already have the premise set up for some of my other listeners

[flint coyote]

That's up to you. An Event will have more boilerplate than a simple method

[timid jetty]

would want this to be robust but never set up my own event

[flint coyote]

I mean instead of simply continuing to do your code after the method call you would then trigger an event just to have another listener that reacts to the event

But if you need it in multiple plugins you could actually make a plugin for additional events or core features or libs or whatever and add it there. That way you would only have to change it inside there instead of changing every plugin

[timid jetty]

thanks chief

[sinful rapids]

Config:
Hello: "hello"
List: []
Code:
public static List<String> lista = GMDIBank.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Lista");
lista.add(target.getName());
GMDIBank.plugin.getConfig().set("Lista", target.getName());
GMDIBank.getInstance().saveConfig();

When saving the list it deletes the string Hello, how can I solve?

[snow lava]

I wanna create an array list that contains a whitelist of material but for some reason this doesn't work in the server

https://paste.md-5.net/jekixizuka.cs

[hasty prawn]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[sinful rapids]

https://paste.md-5.net/edatihayez.java

[hasty prawn]

How are you adding the Hello string?

[flint coyote]

do you ever save the default config? Is it ever in the plugins directory on the server with your hello?

[sinful rapids]

no no

[snow lava]

the plugin doesn't do what it have to do anymore

[hasty prawn]

What is it supposed to do?

[snow lava]

i get this

[hasty prawn]

You're making a new instance of your JavaPlugin class, don't do that

[snow lava]

ahhh, so i can't make an object of my main class

[slate mortar]

in your onEnable, just do yourInstance = this; to initialize it, instead of yourInstance = new YourPlugin();

spigot initializes it automatically

[hazy parrot]

Or you could use built in spigot method

[slate mortar]

wdym

[hazy parrot]

Im assuming he is initializing it to get access to vars/ methods

[slate mortar]

most likely

[hazy parrot]

so getPlugin will do the job

[slate mortar]

if you mean using getPlugin(Main.class), yes it's possible, but kinda ugly/long

[hazy parrot]

yap, just gave another example how instance could be pass ^^

[timid jetty]

hi what is the type of splash potions, are they considered projectiles?

[torpid sapphire]

how do i use NamespacedKey? what am i supposed to use as my key?
do i use different keys for different types of data?

[hasty prawn]

What are you using it for? Your key should always be your plugin name, but Spigot should generate that for you since the only non-deprecated constructor requires a Plugin instance.

[gray merlin]

This isn't really about spigot, but yeah

I had a multi-module maven project, and I loaded it up now, and reloaded maven... and this happened

[hasty prawn]

I mean it applies, NamespacedKey is a Bukkit class.

Oh, you mean your own thing

😄

[torpid sapphire]

it needs a plugin instance and a key

what is that key supposed to be

[gray merlin]

everything kinda broke apart and now it's not a modular project anymore? and yeah

How would I fix this...?

I'm clueless

[hasty prawn]

It can be whatever String you want it to be.

It depends on what you're using NamespacedKeys for.

[torpid sapphire]

PersistentData

[hasty prawn]

For example, Minecraft uses them. minecraft:diamond for example. minecraft is their namespace, and diamond is the key they use.

[torpid sapphire]

ohh i see

thats what those are

well i just want to store some data on an item

do i just call it data and be done with it

[hasty prawn]

You could but I would name it something more meaningful to what you're actually storing.

[torpid sapphire]

so i do use different keys for different data

[hasty prawn]

Yes, so if you were storing 2 ints and a String onto something, each would have their own unique key identifier.

level, damage, and name, for example.

[torpid sapphire]

wait i might be a bit stupid

i am

right

my bad, got it

[hasty prawn]

I know Gradle does this if the names don't match in my settings.gradle. Could be something similar?

[gray merlin]

I'll check

[torpid sapphire]

for some reason i thought you needed the key to get the data container, not as an actual key for the data

how do i get the plugin instance? do i use the plugin manager or is there some convenience method to get the current plugin

[hasty prawn]

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[torpid sapphire]

i see

thanks

[gray merlin]

Is there a way to make the icons not be replaced? Or at least be consistently replaced?

[hasty prawn]

Disable the plugin thats replacing them

[gray merlin]

It's probably the mc plugin one

thanks

Thought that was default behaviour in some way

you have this

change it to jdbc:sqlite://

might be bc i dont have the driver

idk ill try with the driver

so

its creating the db but

is there a way to damage a player without applying knockback?
Player.damage(double) does exactly that but the damage is absolute and ignores armor which isn't what i want

is there a tool to obfuscate code at compiling time with gradle?

[atomic swift]

ok i fixed it all i need to do was con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:" + Gen.getInstance().getDataFolder() + "/" + filePath);

[eternal oxide]

unless you are on an old sql driver you need to use getDatafolder().getRelativePath()

newer drivers don't allow that

it might need absolute. I'll check. One sec

ide slow opening

needs absolute getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath()

is there a list of metadata that bukkit already has for items somewhere/

the namespacedkeys?

[dry forum]

are there any good forms on how to send an actionbar using nms

[drowsy helm]

why do you need nms

[river oracle]

just use spigot api

[hasty prawn]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[hasty prawn]

Wdym it doesn't work

Do they just ignore it?

I don't really understand what you mean by the last part honestly.

The Endermen teleports instead of walking when you call moveTo?

What are you setting speed to?

[drowsy helm]

does NamespacedKey#minecraft have to be a default minecraft key?

or can it be anything

[hasty prawn]

Aren't you talking about walking though..?

[worldly ingot]

It can be anything. It just uses the minecraft namespace

[hasty prawn]

I mean you just said it yourself. Speed affects walking. If your speed is too high it will look like they're teleporting. moveTo alone isn't going to teleport an entity afaik.

Let me try something.

[hasty prawn]

Well I've broken Minecraft

getNavigation().moveTo() works for me

public class CustomZombie extends Zombie {
    public CustomZombie(Location location) {
        super(EntityType.ZOMBIE, ((CraftWorld) location.getWorld()).getHandle());

        this.setPos(location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ());

        ((CraftWorld) location.getWorld()).addEntity(this, CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason.CUSTOM);
    }

    @Override
    public void tick() {
        super.tick();
        this.getNavigation().moveTo(this.getX() + 5, this.getY(), this.getZ() + 5, 15);
    }
}

I'm constantly reminding him that he needs to get his ass moving

Every tick

Just uh

Just make sure you call super.tick() or you get the broken guys that dont leave

Because if you override tick() without calling super then nothing happens when the server ticks the zombie

Which means no AI... no anything. It just does nothing

He'll stand there I assume

You need extra logic to prevent him from going there permanently

Or a Goal

You can do it in the Goal's tick method then

That way he'll only move there when the Goal's canUse() method returns true.

Want him to move? Let him use the goal. Don't want him to do that? Return false

[eternal oxide]

do you super() in teh tick method of your mob?

this is in my NPC```java
@Override
public void tick(){
super.tick();
doTick();
}

@Override
public void doTick() {
    super.baseTick();
    moveWithFallDamage();
}```

calls teh local doTick

for movement

I guess

[hasty prawn]

I dont even have doTick

[eternal oxide]

That is for ServerPlayer. I've not messed with mobs

[hasty prawn]

Ah

[eternal oxide]

But I'd assume its close

[hasty prawn]

Mobs dont have doTick

[eternal oxide]

then probably just super in yoru tick method

[hasty prawn]

So you just need tick()

Yes

@quaint mantle https://paste.md-5.net/finerugute.java

Something like this, if you want to use goals.

Look at what mine is doing, might give you hints as to what you're doing wrong.

You should be adding the goal when you create the Zombie, for instance.

Also 10 is an insanely high speed

I did 3 earlier and he was the god damn flash

You can do both of those things yes

Lower the speed, and then re-work your goal properly.

Call moveTo in the Goal's tick method and use canUse() in the goal to determine when he should be moving towards your target.

[hasty prawn]

Like I said, something like this.

You don't, thats fine.

Yes, if that returns false then the goal's tick() method won't be called.

So he'll stop moving.

Well in my case it's just toggling his movement every 100 ticks. You can decide when yours moves and doesn't move.

I dont know what constraints it should have

Stop moving when he reaches the block or something I guess?

Then yeah stop the goal once he reaches the block

Make canUse return false

Mhm

[eternal oxide]

thats a local field in his class

                FarmShop.setItem(1, carrot);

                ItemStack potato = new ItemStack(Material.POTATO);
                FarmShop.setItem(2, potato); ```

For some odd reason neither the carrot or potato show up in the gui any ideas?

[hasty prawn]

Show the code for opening the inventory

[worthy yarrow]

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

            Player p = (Player) sender;

            if (p.hasPermission("necon.shop.use")) {

                Inventory FarmShop = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, ChatColor.GREEN + "Farm Shop");

                ItemStack wheat = new ItemStack(Material.WHEAT);
                FarmShop.setItem(0, wheat);

               // ItemStack carrot = new ItemStack(Material.CARROT);
               // FarmShop.setItem(1, carrot);

               // ItemStack potato = new ItemStack(Material.POTATO);
               // FarmShop.setItem(2, potato);

                ItemStack pumpkin = new ItemStack(Material.PUMPKIN);
                FarmShop.setItem(1, pumpkin);

                ItemStack melonBlock = new ItemStack(Material.MELON);
                FarmShop.setItem(2, melonBlock);

                ItemStack melonSeed = new ItemStack(Material.MELON_SEEDS);
                FarmShop.setItem(3, melonSeed);

                ItemStack returnShop = new ItemStack(Material.BARRIER);
                ItemMeta returnShopMeta = returnShop.getItemMeta();
                returnShopMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GRAY + "Return to " + ChatColor.RED + "Main shop");
                returnShop.setItemMeta(returnShopMeta);
                FarmShop.setItem(31, returnShop);

                p.openInventory(FarmShop);
            }```

[hasty prawn]

They're commented out

[worthy yarrow]

ik

because they werent working

[hasty prawn]

The other ones work? Wheat and pumpkin etc?

[worthy yarrow]

yea its weird ill send ss

[hasty prawn]

Oh its because you're overwriting them

With pumpkin and melon

Same slots

[worthy yarrow]

not that, i changed it so that it wouldnt be missing 2 slots

[hasty prawn]

Change it back, I'm guessing it'll work.

[worthy yarrow]

maybe ill try and send ss

[hasty prawn]

Uhh you might be able to move it outside, putting it in the tick method just makes 100% sure it doesn't lose interest for some reason.

[river oracle]

is there an api method for reading the action bar?

[eternal oxide]

just add a method canMove on teh mob

set it true/false if you want them to move

[undone axle]

https://paste.md-5.net/

[eternal oxide]

ad a method so you can set shouldMove

public void setCanMove(boolean value) {
    this.canmove = value;
}```

no, you don;t want a listener per mob

with that above method you can enable or disable the mob movement in your listener

yes

yes, no clue why you are nesting

Goal has nothing to do with PlayerEvents

the Goal should be its own class or nested in the mob itself

The mob should not have its own listener

Its an action of your Player not teh mob

it affects the mob but its an activity your player is doing

teh Goal should not implement Listener

[river oracle]

agghhhh My eeyesss

lol just kidding

[eternal oxide]

Ok, single responsibility principle Your one class is currently a Player event listener, a mob spawner and a Goal creator.

your Player Listener class shoudl ONLY listen to player events.

[river oracle]

I go a step further and only listen to 1 player event per class :p

only so I don't get distracted thats a bit overkill

[eternal oxide]

you don;t

you call a toggle to enable/disable the mob from moving

in your MyMob class you have a Field for canMove, or whatever you want to call it

you have direct access to that when you get a mob instance in yoru single responsibility PlayerListener

you can set the mob to moving or not.

You are literally just moving public boolean shouldMove; into your MyMob class.

add a getter/setter for it.

and move your MyGoal out of your listener

[fallen anvil]

Trying to replace the CustomModelData of an item in an item frame.
I tried frame.getItem().getItemMeta().setCustomModelData(newvalue); to no avail, next I tried:

[eternal oxide]

put teh meta back after changing it. Its a clone

looks like you did

[fallen anvil]

Eh no I missed that step

I don't think setItemMeta showed up when I tried it

[eternal oxide]

ah yep you put the item back

no need to do that, just apply the meta back to the item.

[fallen anvil]

It came up now 😄

fingers crossed!

Looks like it needs both, but it's (sort of) working!

[cobalt thorn]

Hi a question im trying to make a config where the user can add more level

  ActionPercentage:
    enabled: false
    level_1:
      percentage: 10
      Behavior: "{Behavior}, Replika doesn't love user but like him as friend"

i tried using a for but without result any solution?

[fallen anvil]

😄

Replika? o.o

[cobalt thorn]

not the chatbot that you think i made a chatbot plugin with AI related chatbot

[fallen anvil]

😮

Oh I see

[cobalt thorn]

no

[fallen anvil]

I don't know what you mean by a for

like a for loop or foreach?

[cobalt thorn]

if(Main.getInstance().getConfig().getBoolean("Replika.ActionPercentage.enabled")) {
                    for (int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(Main.getInstance().getConfig().getStringList("Replika.ActionPercentage.level_" + i))); i++) {
                        System.out.println(i);
                    }
                }

[eternal oxide]

you have no level key

yours is "level_1"

thats better 🙂

[cobalt thorn]

.

[chrome beacon]

Loop getKeys

[eternal oxide]

use getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Replika.ActionPercentage").getKeys(false)

[cobalt thorn]

with integer parseinit and string value?

[eternal oxide]

no, that gets you all the root keys under that section

so enabled and level_1

[cobalt thorn]

for (int i = 0; i < Main.getInstance().getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Replika.ActionPercentage").getKeys(false); i++) {

in this way?

[eternal oxide]

no

getKeys(false) is returning you a List

[cobalt thorn]

yes then i loop a it as string

[eternal oxide]

not with that for loop

[cobalt thorn]

foreach?

[eternal oxide]

for (String key : getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Replika.ActionPercentage").getKeys(false)) {

[cobalt thorn]

and then with another loop i get the numbers?

[eternal oxide]

if (split.length == 2) ... //test if split[1] is a value```

also check split[0].equalIgnorecase("level")

if (split.length == 2 && split[0].equalsIgnorecase("level"))...

[cobalt thorn]

the code done should be

String[] split = key.split("_");
                        if (split.length == 2 && split[0].equalsIgnoreCase("level")) {
                            Main.getInstance().getConfig().getInt("Replika.ActionPercentage.level_" + split[1]);
                        }

[cobalt thorn]

already done

[eternal oxide]

no because its a section not a value

[cobalt thorn]

from in there then i can get the values inside

[eternal oxide]

level_1 is a section key not a value

yes

[cobalt thorn]

for (String key : Main.getInstance().getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Replika.ActionPercentage").getKeys(false)) {
                String[] split = key.split("_");
                if (split.length == 2 && split[0].equalsIgnoreCase("level")) {
                    Main.getInstance().getLogger().info(String.valueOf(Main.getInstance().getConfig().getInt("Replika.ActionPercentage.level_" + split[1])));
                }
            }

[eternal oxide]

get teh section, then get the keys beneath

[cobalt thorn]

this is the code done

[eternal oxide]

no

[cobalt thorn]

why not?

[eternal oxide]

its not an int

[cobalt thorn]

parse int?

[eternal oxide]

getConfigurationSection(key).getint("percentage")```

[cobalt thorn]

ok thanks now should work fine or other things?

[eternal oxide]

nope thats all

[cobalt thorn]

thanks for the help

[eternal oxide]

oh sorry that won;t work

I forgot key is not a path

[cobalt thorn]

no problem

[eternal oxide]

getConfigurationSection("Replika.ActionPercentage." + key).getint("percentage")```

[kind hatch]

Has anyone written load balancing logic? Right now I'm just prototyping and I've made one that is based off of the amount of online players, but it feels very basic. (Get all online servers, sort by lowest player count, then send to the smallest player count server).

Is there a smarter way to balance players? What other contexts should I be considering when it comes to servers?

[torn oyster]

what's the best way to communicate between plugins without using bungee plugin messaging

is redis good for that? idk i remember someone saying it is but i'm not sure if it was in this context

[kind hatch]

Heavily context dependent.

If it is different plugins on the same server, the APIs of the plugins are the best approach.
If it is the same plugin on different servers, a shared database is the best option.
If it is different plugins on different servers, it would be a miracle if you could get them to work together properly.

[torn oyster]

well i'm trying to make a server create-on-demand system thing

like that of bigger servers

[kind hatch]

Then a shared database would likely be your best bet. You'd just need to setup the proper credentials in your server creation tool.

[torn oyster]

i'm using pterodactyl

i'm making a standalone java app to run in the background which processes requests (through a shared database)

will that work?

[kind hatch]

So long as your on-demand servers are able to connect to the proper database, everything should be fine.

[grim oak]

hi im making a command and im wondering if i want the format to be like this editlore {newlore} what arg would i use to set the lore, because if i use args[0], if the lore is more than 1 word it will only use the first word

[kind hatch]

Use the entire array instead of just the first element.

[hazy parrot]

Join args

Or use whole array if edit lore supports that

[grim oak]

is there a better way of doing it than this?

[kind hatch]

String.join(" ", args)

[reef lagoon]

Paper is better

[kind hatch]

Go to the paper discord then. lol

[worn tundra]

Paper is spigot

[eternal oxide]

nope

?fork

[undone axle]

SpigotMC maintains the Spigot server. If you are using a fork of Spigot (such as Paper, Airplane, Purpur, or other derivative works), you should seek support in the appropriate Discord servers.

[worn tundra]

Paper is literally built on spigot

[hazy parrot]

google what fork means

[worn tundra]

I know what a fork is lol

[hazy parrot]

what is not clear then ?

[fallen anvil]

Paper has Location.getNearbyEntities but it looks like getNearbyEntities doesn't exist on Location in Spigot, what's the best way to get entities surrounding a central point?

[worn tundra]

Nothing, what?

[kind hatch]

Entity#getNearbyEntites()

[hazy parrot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fallen anvil]

Can you explain that a little?

[eternal oxide]

or World#getNearByEntities

[fallen anvil]

I'm not familiar with #

[agile anvil]

It's Javadoc style, and way more sexier. Grab the instance of you world or entity, and entity.getNearbyEntities()

[eternal oxide]

its just an instance method

[fallen anvil]

Okay, let me look at the docs. This happens after an item frame is removed, so there's no entity to work off of. Lessee

[agile anvil]

Then work on the world

[fallen anvil]

yeah world takes a location arg

perfect ❤️

[kind hatch]

You could spawn in an armorstand temporarily if you don't want to use the world object, but either way, methods exist.

[fallen anvil]

Thank you

[eternal oxide]

is this in some event?

[fallen anvil]

Yeah, an event I'm trying to have implemented into Oraxen 😄

[eternal oxide]

which event? if its cancellable then teh ItemFrame will still exist. You can use that as the origin

[fallen anvil]

I think Oraxen might have problems with Spigot but I'm coding my add-on on Spigot in case Oraxen fixes their stuff.

It's cancellable, but based on how the OraxenFurniturePlaceEvent works it might delete the items first and then replace them if the action is cancelled

and I misspoke, I created OraxenFurniturePlace not OraxenFurnitureBreak, that already exists.

Interesting, Entity.getNearbyEntities returns a List<Entity> but World.getNearbyentities returns a Collection<Entity>

[kind hatch]

I mean, maybe incremental things like sending players to servers that aren't full, but have the most amount of players may be a better approach, but I feel that load balancing is very dependent on the context of the servers.

Perhaps things outside the scope of server gameplay should be considered? Maybe servers with high CPU load should be considered as well?

[agile anvil]

You're loadbalancing inside a bungee ?

[kind hatch]

Trying to, but for now it's all "artificial" logic as I don't have large amounts of servers and players.

[agile anvil]

Well, loadbalancing inside a bungee is quite useless. Of course hypixel loadbalance lobbies for instance but that's only to allow players to see something because there are too much of them.
However, loadbalancing become essential when you start having too much players for one bungee: then you'll have to balance the incoming network in multiple bungee instance.
For that don't program your loadbalancer, but use one existing (to be clear, it's not a bungee that redirect to multiple bungee)

[kind hatch]

I don't see how it would be useless to load balance internally. Sure, externally, 100%, but internal balancing can help with individual server load. That's what I'm trying to target at least.

Also, what's the upper limit for bungee? I thought it could handle something like 2500+ connections pretty easily.

[agile anvil]

What kind of server do you loadbalance ?

[serene egret]

how can i make a Playerhead itemstack with a customhead?

[agile anvil]

It really depends on many many levels. The easiest to see is the modules and plugins usage, then there is the quantity of packets you send. What I mean is if your servers are vanilla there is no "extra packets" to send through, but when you start playing with particles, animations, quick updates, you're increasing as hell the number of packets. Each packet go through the bungee. So it can even become laggy as soon as 500 players for instance

[agile anvil]

You should use the SkullMeta of the Itemstack

[serene egret]

ok

[kind hatch]

That's the thing. I don't know what types of server it would be balancing. I'm trying to make it dynamic/flexible enough to handle most cases, or hell, even make it configurable enough down to each individual grouping of servers.

[kind hatch]

Does that still hold true when certain bungee settings like ping_passthrough or ip_forward are enabled?

[opal juniper]

just generify both to collection and you are fine

[ornate mantle]

what do the DisplaySlot BELOW_NAME, PLAYER_LIST and SIDERBAR look like?

[chrome beacon]

Playerlist is a number after name (in tab)
Below name is a number below the name
Sidebar is scoreboard

[gray merlin]

I have some code that I want to reuse across all Minecraft versions, but I have no idea how to do it because it uses code existent in the spigot api. Is there a way to do this?

[ornate mantle]

ah aight

[smoky oak]

in which corner of a block is the block.getlocation location

north bottom west?

[chrome beacon]

0, 0

No decimals I believe

Which direction that is idk

[smoky oak]

should be what i said

hm

[kind hatch]

I don't think there is a direction tied to it. It's a coordinate based system, so it just returns the coordinates you are asking for.

[smoky oak]

fair

on a different note, is there a simpler way of turning a Collection<Entity> into an ArrayList<ItemStack> than looping through it?

[kind hatch]

Those are incompatible types no?

[chrome beacon]

They are

[smoky oak]

im getting them with a predicate

[chrome beacon]

So you'd have to get the ItemStack from the entity somehow

[smoky oak]

all entities are itemstack

[kind hatch]

That doesn't sound right.

[chrome beacon]

You mean the Item entity?

[smoky oak]

yes

[chrome beacon]

Not ItemStack

You can use a stream if you want

[smoky oak]

well droppeditem now ig

[kind hatch]

Do you mean allowing your plugin to run on all existing versions of spigot?

[gray merlin]

Nope, I mean having one utility class be reused across all mc versions of my project

[smoky oak]

copy paste

[gray merlin]

Yeah, no.

[kind hatch]

Well, that would depend on what your utility class contains. I feel like I said this earlier today, but I'll reiterate. If you are wanting to use code across multiple generations of an API, you should really abstract your codebase. Make a multi-module project and write version specific code. There is no guarantee that the API you are using will have the same methods available in the future, nor the current functionality of existing methods being the same.

[gray merlin]

You did say that yesterday, yeah, but I must not have misunderstood because I thought you meant something completely different, it was very late in the day lol.

Issue with that though, wouldn't that work for only 1.17+ projects?

Since java modules were only introduced in JDK9

Also for the non-version specific code; What spigot lib would that use?

I'm guessing just the latest

[kind hatch]

No, you can have multi-module projects in Java 1.8. It's not a java specific thing, but a project setup thing.
Also, yes, you would use the latest for everything else that isn't version specific.

[smoky oak]

org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_19_R1.entity.CraftItem cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack
welp
how do i cast e instanceof Dropped_item to ItemStacck

[gray merlin]

CraftItemStack#asBukkitCopy

[smoky oak]

well the dumb part is

im doing this entirely in bukkit api code

so where does the nms come from

[gray merlin]

The server provides it to you I believe

[smoky oak]

ah

cast to ITEM, call getItemStack

[gray merlin]

So we're not talking about Java modules then? I'll look it up anyways because it's confusing me a little

[sacred mountain]

why does OfflinePlayer#getStatistic() require more than one parameter for the something_one_cm

[kind hatch]

No, we are not talking about Java modules. I'm referring to maven multi-modules and or gradle multi-modules.

[gray merlin]

I wasn't aware those existed, thank you.

[serene egret]

how can i add a armorstand a tag?

[tall dragon]

with pdc

[serene egret]

whats pdc

[tall dragon]

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

PersistentDataContainer. AKA, one of the best additions to the API to date.

[reef lagoon]

Bukkit's implementation of nbt ig

[serene egret]

thx

[smoky oak]

I set my logging level to all. a getlogger().fine(message) did not get printed to console

why

[quiet ice]

Because the logger is configured in a way that it does not log fine messages?

[quiet ice]

fine is kinda like SLJF4J's trace level - one of the lowest you can have

[smoky oak]

and a level ALL that can be used to enable logging of all messages.

[gray merlin]

Does anyone have any example of a spigot multi module project?

[smoky oak]

how is ALL a really low level

and why does the oracle doc say it logs everything then

[quiet ice]

What logger are you using?

SLF4J (doubt so), Apache or java.util.logging?

[smoky oak]

the standard one? (class extends JavaPlugin).getLogger()

should be java.util.logging considering it wants a java.util.logging.Level

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[quiet ice]

Yeah, it's java.util.logging.Logger

[smoky oak]

so whyd it not log fine if the level was all

[sacred mountain]

Anyone know how to retrieve a player's mojang statistic?

[tardy delta]

mojang stats?

[sacred mountain]

OfflinePlayer#getStatistic() requires additional params, and does not take either EntityType or Material like specified

[tardy delta]

you mean Player#getStatistic?

[sacred mountain]

idk the default ones

yteah

[quiet ice]

I'd guess the underlying SLF4J logger prohibts such fine loggogin

[smoky oak]

i set the log level to finest

it did NOT log the fine log

[sacred mountain]

followon from this btw

[eternal oxide]

You can set the logger level fine, you just have to make sure you are using the same logger you set.

[smoky oak]

the level stays though?

[sacred mountain]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/si/jira.issueviews:issue-html/SPIGOT-1856/SPIGOT-1856.html btw

[smoky oak]

i set the level and later if i check the level it says the level i set

if(strings.length == 0){
  commandSender.sendMessage("Please specify a Logging level. Current level: "+instance.getLogger().getLevel());
  return true;
}
try{
  Level level = Level.parse(strings[0]);
  instance.getLogger().setLevel(level);
}
//catch and log test

[sacred mountain]

"Mojang changed it. Its best for plugins to not assert that the statistics are static. Any Minecraft update can change anything."
Does this mean i have to find another way of calculating my stat

or another way of getting the statistic

[smoky oak]

it says the level is whatever i set

then refuses to log anything below info

[quiet ice]

What I mean is that the java.util.logging logger delegates all logging to the slf4j logger

Or better said the log4j logger

[smoky oak]

so youre saying i have to use the log4j logger if i want my logging to work

[tardy delta]

meaning that the way of getting that specific statistic may change?

i.e. additional parameters

[sacred mountain]

yeah but is there any way to even get it

reflection or sum

i dont know much about that

[agile anvil]

Why don't you use the Player#getStatistic method ?

Is there a problem with it?

[tardy delta]

pff

[drowsy helm]

i love completable futures

[tardy delta]

same, only hate the overhead they have with f.e ::join

[eternal oxide]

and the annoying exception handling

[tardy delta]

mwoa i love that way of handling them

[drowsy helm]

ez ignore

lmao

[eternal oxide]

its a black hole

[tardy delta]

lets me think of the rust exception handling

[quiet ice]

Exception handling in concurrent environments is hard to do

[ornate mantle]

if i have a string like "ZOMBIE 10/20 ❤️" where 10 and 20 are green whereas the / is white and the name is some other goofy ahh colour, how do i get the 10 in the string? (10 and 20 are variables)

[drowsy helm]

use String.splt or something

[ornate mantle]

10 and 20 could be 69 and 4 morbillion

[tardy delta]

strip color first

[drowsy helm]

you should be storing the variables elsewhere anyway

[tardy delta]

^^

[drowsy helm]

trying to decode a string is just inefficient

[ornate mantle]

its for each and every mob

in the entire server

storing it is pointless

[drowsy helm]

get the health and max health then?

[eternal oxide]

put it on the mob itself

[ornate mantle]

its being stored as a mob's name

[drowsy helm]

use pdc or something

[ornate mantle]

tf is that

[drowsy helm]

its the same with checking inventory names for custom inventories

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[eternal oxide]

or health/max health/scale

[drowsy helm]

nbt wrapper

[ornate mantle]

oh that

im using 1.8 💀

no persistent data containers

[eternal oxide]

haha

[drowsy helm]

oh

lol

[ornate mantle]

i thought abt that aswell

plus i dont think mobs are persistent data holders

oh wait

[drowsy helm]

they are

[ornate mantle]

i could just do mob.gethealth 💀

[sacred mountain]

sorry went afk what do you mean by this

is that a problem? im not sure how i use that ss lma

[ornate mantle]

also another question do chatcolours become § when you print them as a string

[sacred mountain]

yes

[ornate mantle]

that solves my entire problem

[drowsy helm]

no stupid indentation now

[sacred mountain]

just use translatealternatecolorcodes

[sacred mountain]

i recently cleaned up some of my classes, i feel like it's better to do a negative check and return, and then continue code, instead of nesting like 7 checks

[tardy delta]

bruh my rabbit escaped and had to catch it

[drowsy helm]

yeah so much nicer to read

[drowsy helm]

just use a leash and speed 3 potion

[tardy delta]

it ran back into its cage smh

[sacred mountain]

for instance

if (!something) return;
doSomethingElse();

instead of

if (something) {
  doSomethingElse();
  //more checks 
}```

[drowsy helm]

yeah early returns

[tardy delta]

i thought i saw my cat running but no

[drowsy helm]

are much nicer

[sacred mountain]

agree

now will someone explain how i get statistics

[tardy delta]

bruh whats wrong with the Player#getStatistic

[ornate mantle]

thats literally how you get stats

[sacred mountain]

it just throws errors

[tardy delta]

that it expects another param?

[sacred mountain]

'needs more parameters' or 'does not accept this parameter'

how

[eternal oxide]

which statistic?

[sacred mountain]

its the walk_one_cm

it doesnt need an additional param

[tardy delta]

does it say what one? i forgot tbh

[sacred mountain]

ive tried every material and every entitytype as a parameter

none works

[tardy delta]

check impl i'd say but impl sucks

[sacred mountain]

all just say

[tardy delta]

what does it say when providing it with nothin?

[eternal oxide]

yes it should just be the stat enum

[agile anvil]

[sacred mountain]

[eternal oxide]

OfflinePlayer#getStatistic(Statistic.WALK_ONE_CM)

[sacred mountain]

#help-development message

same thing

[tardy delta]

myes

[sacred mountain]

no clue what that is

[eternal oxide]

I'll test it

[sacred mountain]

i may have fixed it tho

lemme test build

[tardy delta]

whats the Statistic.WALK_ONE_CM.getType()?

[eternal oxide]

works just fine

System.out.println("Walk one: " + Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("ElgarL").getStatistic(Statistic.WALK_ONE_CM));

[sacred mountain]

bro what

im redoing this class

[tardy delta]

what with Player#getStatistic?

instead of offline

[sacred mountain]

idfk what i did wrong then

[tardy delta]

extra params can only be of those types

[quaint mantle]

Put on database and get it?

[tardy delta]

Hello, can anyone help me with that one, i'm trying to make a command send all the players to another server before closing the server they are on (basically, replace the /stop) cause right now it's just disconnecting all of them without giving a warning, a message, or sending them to another server (the hub basically), so what i'm trying to do is that when an authorised user does "/stop" it broadcast a message, if they add a parameter like "/stop <arg1> <arg2>" (where the first one would be a message and the second one the timer (like 10s) it would say "server will close in 10 seconds" and then, tp them and send a message to them (all the tped players) saying "The server you were previously on has been closed, you have been moved to <name>"

    public T await(AbsPacketManager packetManager, int timeoutSeconds){
        packetManager.sendCallbackPacket(this, timeoutSeconds);
        try {
            CompletableFuture<T> future = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
                while (response == null && !timeout){}
                return response;
            });
            return future.get();
        } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }```
anyone know what i can do instead of this while loop? Just trying to wait until either is satisfied

compiler just removes it if i dont have a body

[tardy delta]

make it synchronized and use wait() and notify()?

[drowsy helm]

ah didnt even think of that lmao

[tardy delta]

is this in the context of spigot or whatever?

[drowsy helm]

yeah spigot but async
