what is shadowing

[remote swallow]

might also be called shading sometimes

[vocal cloud]

Mavens method of compiling dependencies into your project

[mighty pier]

u mean putting it in pom.xml

o r no

extra file necxt to that?

[vocal cloud]

Uh no

[remote swallow]

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

[mighty pier]

ok

i think i know what it is

https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc

i dont know how to make this a shade

[mighty pier]

is that the jdbc

[eternal oxide]

Pretty sure Spigot already has an SQLite driver

[mighty pier]

when i try to do the connection

[remote swallow]

thats the thing you need for shading in general

[mighty pier]

it returns null

yes but how do i put the jdbc information in there

[eternal oxide]

did you call Class.forName("")?

[mighty pier]

uh oh

no

wait

idk im gonna check

i did not in fact

do that

it worked

[mighty pier]

you arfe big brainedf

[terse ore]

is there a method for detecting if some coords are instide 2 points?

[eternal oxide]

BoundingBox

[terse ore]

thx

Can I cast a list to a location?

[eternal oxide]

no

You can stream it and cast

[mighty pier]

can i use abstraction for a commandexecutor like this? ```public class MuteChatCommand implements CommandExecutor {
private final Utils plugin;

public MuteChatCommand(Utils plugin) {
    this.plugin = plugin;
}``````        getCommand("mod").setExecutor(new ModCommand());
    getCommand("mutechat").setExecutor(new MuteChatCommand(this));```

[eternal oxide]

I see no abstraction there

[mighty pier]

uh

so it wouldnt work

how do i do abstarction tehn

[eternal oxide]

I see two commands, mod and mutechat

[mighty pier]

yes

i need the plugin instance in mutechatcommand

is that how i do it

[eternal oxide]

Yes, dependency injection

[mighty pier]

oh

yes

that

ty

[terse ore]

public class OnPlace implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public static void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
        System.out.println("A");
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        Location location = block.getLocation();

        if (Config.isInside(location)) {
            if (player.getGameMode() != GameMode.CREATIVE) {
                player.sendMessage(Color.translate("&cNo puedes poner bloques en el spawn"));
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }
    }
}```

I have been trying to get this event being called but it isn't

[noble forge]

have you registered your event listener?

[terse ore]

I am registering it onEnable but it is not calling when placing a block

[eternal oxide]

remove static

[terse ore]

same

[eternal oxide]

there is nothing wrong with the event you posted other than the static. Well it is obviously not all teh code as you have variables used which don;t exist like config

[terse ore]

Still if that was the issue it should print "A"?

[remote swallow]

remove the static and check it

[mighty pier]

wtf is an anchor

how remove

help

[eternal oxide]

you have to parse &

[mighty pier]

what that mean

how

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/ChatColor.html#translateAlternateColorCodes(char,java.lang.String)

[mighty pier]

i did that

[eternal oxide]

if you did you would not have &c displayed

[remote swallow]

?paste the code

[undone axle]

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

[mighty pier]

oh i did forget to translate all color codes on some code

[remote swallow]

thats a config file not code

[eternal oxide]

wrap in `

`

[remote swallow]

arent they meant to be wrapped in ""

[echo basalt]

both work

also it's ' not `

[remote swallow]

thats true

[eternal oxide]

yep

[echo basalt]

` is used for single line code blocks like this

and accents in some languages like portuguese with their á à

does any1 know a good way to find a safe location within a radius?

[sacred mountain]

is there an efficient way to check if a player touches a man made guardian beam

as in not a natural thing

[fierce whale]

Is there anyway to get other plugins metadata?

[tender shard]

you mean like Entity#getMetadata? If so, sure, they are not "sorted" by plugin or anything

[fierce whale]

umm

yes i know that

[vocal cloud]

The question is why do you want to do this?

[fierce whale]

So we can use metadata cross other plugins

[vocal cloud]

Make an API

[fierce whale]

But

[tender shard]

I'd rather use the Entity's PDC instead of using metadata

[fierce whale]

It doesn't work 😦

I've not heard that

entity PDC data..?

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/persistent-data-container-the-better-alternative-to-nbt-tags/

[fierce whale]

Okay I'll read that

thx! 🙂

[tender shard]

np

it's 1.14+ though

[fierce whale]

okay

but

can we use PDC cross other plugins?

[tender shard]

sure

[fierce whale]

ahha I got it!

[tender shard]

you can also loop over all existing data so you don't really need the other plugin's instance

[echo basalt]

copypaste chorus fruit code

[sacred mountain]

mfnalex wit hyour superior knoweldeg plaase help me

e.g.

}

[echo basalt]

raycast

[sacred mountain]

good idea

and ho

w

[echo basalt]

Depends on the server version

of you can just check the angle between start and finish

make a cuboid

[tender shard]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#rayTrace(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.util.Vector,double,org.bukkit.FluidCollisionMode,boolean,double,java.util.function.Predicate)

[sacred mountain]

1.19.2

[echo basalt]

and match both within the cuboid and within the angle

[tender shard]

wouldn't this work?

[echo basalt]

it would

[sacred mountain]

ill see

[echo basalt]

Start with the start location and end-start as a vector

the double will be distance(start, end)

FluidCollisionMode doesn't matter

[tender shard]

shouldn't the raysize be 0?

[echo basalt]

the raysize should be the radius of the guardian beam

it's save to set it as something like 0.8 or 1

I'm just concerned about blocks between the beam

[sacred mountain]

would a raysize of above 0 create a cuboid ray

[tender shard]

i have no clue how "big" (in width) a guardian thing is. probably like 0.5 blocks or so? if you set it to 0, it would only detect entities that are directly touched by the center of the beam

[sacred mountain]

therse a collision mode in the params

[echo basalt]

that's for blocks

you could just use rayTraceEntities instead

[tender shard]

^ yeah rayTrace is for both blocks and entities, if you do not care about blocks inbetween just do rayTraceEntities

[tender shard]

if you want to look "through" blocks, use rayTraceEntities

[sacred mountain]

nah it's for some minigame where they have to stand behind blocks to not get hit

so i'll keep the blocks there

would this work

[echo basalt]

try it and see

[tender shard]

probably

[tardy delta]

no need to cast

[sacred mountain]

well

[sacred mountain]

not a livingentity

necessarily

[tardy delta]

ah that livingentity concept is stupid

[sacred mountain]

yea

so the raycast doesnt seem to work

i've used the start location and the start direction with a length of 50 raycast

and wherever i stand i don't get damaged

[echo basalt]

print the raycast result

also how often are you running it?

[sacred mountain]

yeah null

constantly

[sacred mountain]

currently every tick

just to check

nothing

bruh the direction is backwards

[quaint mantle]

hello

[urban kernel]

can someone help me? i've built a plugin that when an entity dies if the name is "techno" or "technoblade".toLowerCase() it cancels the event

however it didnt work

[tender shard]

show your code

[urban kernel]

by didnt work i mean this

[11:44:56 INFO]: Named entity EntityCow['techno'/239, uuid='0c1539fd-53a9-4b4f-bccf-3706319062f0', l='ServerLevel[world]', x=511.51, y=63.00, z=386.17, cpos=[31, 24], tl=13230, v=true, rR=null] died: techno was slain by Deveroonie using [techno]

package xyz.deveroonie.technoneverdies;

public class DeathEvent implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onEvent(EntityDeathEvent e) {
        if(e.getEntity().getCustomName() != null) {
            if(e.getEntity().getCustomName().toLowerCase() == "techno" || e.getEntity().getCustomName().toLowerCase() == "technoblade") {
                e.getEntity().setLastDamage(0);
            }
        }
    }
}

[quaint mantle]

hi, I encountered this error when starting my plugin and I don't understand what it means, it has been doing it since I added this piece of code that I now send

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

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

[urban kernel]

shit

ok

[tender shard]

did you register the listener? also NEVER compare strings with ==, use .equals or equalsIgnoreCase

[urban kernel]

shit i didnt

[icy beacon]

well, you should cancel death with EntityDamageByEntityEvent ideally, I don't know if this would work at all

check if the damage is fatal and set it to 0

[tender shard]

oh btw do not name the class "DeathEvent" but rather "DeathListener"

[quaint mantle]

shit

and how to call a function to an external class?

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/getting-your-main-classes-instance-in-another-class/

this is probably what you're looking for

[quaint mantle]

is an external class

[quaint mantle]

thanks

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

[tender shard]

I really disagree with whoever wrote this

Static on the other hand is not object-oriented
ughm that's not true, you just have to realize that classes are objects too

[sacred mountain]

any ideas about why only one of the lasers does any damage

[tender shard]

one of the lasers, or only one of the players gets damage?

because ofc the raytrace will always only return the first entity that's hit

[tardy delta]

people still instantiating bukkitrunnables for no reason smh

[sacred mountain]

only one of the lasers does damage

the others ones dont do anything

[tender shard]

hm then no idea. do some debugging, maybe you again have the direction fucked up, or sth?

[sacred mountain]

ight

[keen basin]

Does anyone understand the use of ProtocolLib?
how can I make the player break fast? I tried block breka animation. It's only animation. Don't break the block.

[sacred mountain]

spigot is stupid

i hadt o make my own vector class bc idk how spigots works

now it works for some reason, and i'm not changing it

[tender shard]

nah spigot is smart

[tardy delta]

lookin' hot

[hazy parrot]

I mean, its fun that kotlin (also jvm based) removed static keyword for the same reason

but they added singleton object class

that can act as utility class for instance

[tender shard]

kotlin is quite funny anyway

i cannot think of any reason why it would be better than java

[hazy parrot]

corutines are cool

also extending functions

[tender shard]

i dont know much about coroutines so I cannot say anything about that. extending functions however are not very different to a static util method

I mean where's the difference? it's kinda the same

fun Player.kickForCheating() {
  this.kick("Kicked for cheating")
}

static void kickForCheating(Player player) {
  player.kick("Kicked for cheating");
}

i mean, whether you do somePlayer.kickForCheating() or kickForCheating(somePlayer), that's the same thing

in fact the extensions are quite confusing because one might think that this method is actually part of Player, although ofc it isn't

the only valid reason I'd see for extending functions is if they can access private / protected / etc fields or methods. I don't know if that's possible, but that'd be the only reason I'd see for them to exist

[hazy parrot]

yeah there is no difference in any case, i just like to do for example "&4ban".colorize() insted of colorize("&4ban)

there is also inlining functions

but who cares anyway

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tender shard]

hm yeah then they are pretty useless. I mean, sure, nice idea, but nothing that would make anyone think "yeah kotlin is so much better"

[tender shard]

true. I just dislike kotlin, I don't hate it. I'm sure that I only dislike it because it's "different" from java, which I more or less grew up with lol

if I'd have grown up with kotlin, I'd dislike java, lol

[echo basalt]

grew up doing java gang

pretty sure I first started coding in C# when I was 6

then moved onto C

[tender shard]

my current thing is to properly learn lua and it's annoooooyyyyiiing

[echo basalt]

but wasn't a fan

[ivory sleet]

personally I believe kotlin is too bloated

[tender shard]

why is EVERY THING in lua global?!

function printReverse(text)
  text2 = string.reverse(text)
  print(text2)
end

-- Now guess what - text2 is still valid here and will always contain the last reversed string, since every variable, even when defined in a function, is global unless otherwise specified

this is really weird

there shouldn't be a "local" keyword, but rather a "global" keyword

[echo basalt]

okay that sounds like a wtf moment

[tender shard]

yeah

you can do
"var = something"
EVERYWHERE and it will be public / global

[mighty pier]

skript momento

[tender shard]

in my above example, one should use

function printReverse(text)
  local text2 = ...

/shrug but I mean, what did I expect from something that doesn't even have class definitions or strict typing or anything

[hazy parrot]

I only dislike it because it's "different" from java
Yeah that was true in my case too, tbh its matter of personal preference like nearly anything

[tender shard]

I once did an internship at a company that made sattelites and they also wrote their stuff in lua and it was ANNOYING

if orbitalHeight() < expectedOrbitalHeight then
  startBoosters()
end

and yeah it really looked like this

[echo basalt]

looks like those bootleg programming languages that are a pascal clone

that they use to teach programming at schools

[tender shard]

yeah lol

[echo basalt]

looking like mfing

[tender shard]

I learnt coding with java with a tool called "Hamster Simulator" lol

it had methods like "turnRight()" and when you wanted to implement a "turnLeft()" yourself, you just did this

public void turnLeft() {
  turnRight();
  turnRight();
  turnRight();
}

[echo basalt]

variables {
  number : int
}

start

write("Input a number: ")
read(number)
write("You wrote: ", number)

end

yes they teach you how to code like this in school

no IDE, pen & paper

[tender shard]

oh yeah we also did our exams in coding with pen & paper

but nobody cared about a missing " or ;

[echo basalt]

okay

but

[tender shard]

it was more like "pseudo code"

[echo basalt]

now the thing is

it wasn't in english

all the words were localized

[tender shard]

yeah we had that too D:

[echo basalt]

And there was an IDE after like 3 months

that froze whenever you had an infinite loop

and had no autosave

[tender shard]

but I guess it makes sense if you're a beginner because otherwise, the coding exam would fail everyone who's bad in english

[echo basalt]

the thing is

[jolly gust]

How to create an ItemStack Collection? I can't find anything about it

[tender shard]

what kind of collection?

[echo basalt]

we all had english classes

and actively have

[tender shard]

Usually you just do new ArrayList<> or whatever

[echo basalt]

since like the 2nd grade

[tender shard]

List<ItemStack> myListOfItemStacks = new ArrayList<>();

[echo basalt]

country-wide

[echo basalt]

set

[tender shard]

deque

[echo basalt]

linkedlist

[tender shard]

binarytree

ok that's not a collection

[echo basalt]

HashTable

[tender shard]

that's also not a collection

[echo basalt]

fuck

[mighty pier]

porn collection

dvd

[echo basalt]

Set<Map.Entry<ItemStack, Object>>

[tender shard]

I call this "reddit"

[echo basalt]

funny thing

reddit isn't blocked on the school network

but porn sites are

[mighty pier]

reddit not only pron

[tender shard]

that's useless, reddit has more porn than PH

[echo basalt]

so mfs in my class just watched porn subreddits

[jolly gust]

I need to create a collection with ItemStack in order to then compare them with another itemstack collection from the getDrops method in the BlockBreak event

[tender shard]

and I sent you an example above

[mighty pier]

why dont they do it at home like the rest of us

[tender shard]

a List is a Collection

[echo basalt]

bluegem is the polar opposite of most beginners asking for help

he knows the concepts but no execution

[mighty pier]

i watched a spigot tutorial before a java tutorial

[mighty pier]

learned java and spigot at once

[echo basalt]

I watched a tutorial on how to setup my ide

and just... tried and failed

until I eventually got there

now I don't even use the spigot api that much honestly

I think I use more mongodb and redis apis than spigot

[mighty pier]

i forced my friend to learn java for 2 years and then i asked him to help me with that

[olive lance]

Yea lol the spigot tuts before Java is accurate asf

[onyx fjord]

is there a chance that listeners might fail to register? if yes what do they throw

just wondering

[echo basalt]

If you have an exception on your constructor...

[mighty pier]

they throw a kitten at the wall

[echo basalt]

but the registering process itself is flawless

[onyx fjord]

gotchu

[tender shard]

ofc, for example if you have a method like this:

@EventHandler
public void doSomething(BlockBReakEvent event, String someUnexpectedParameter)

[echo basalt]

or yeah if you have something stupid like that

[tender shard]

i dont remember by heart what it throws but you can check the SImplePluginManager class to find out

[noble forge]

o

oops wrong method

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/plugin/SimplePluginManager.html#registerEvents(org.bukkit.event.Listener,org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin)

[echo basalt]

IllegalPluginAccessException - if the plugin is null or disabled, or if you're listening to an event that doesn't have a static getHandlerList method

[onyx fjord]

ok ok

[tender shard]

yeah but there's another exception if the EventHandler annotated method takes anything besides one Event object

but why would you care about what it throws?

[mighty pier]

is there some tutorial that explains what static is, why its bad to use sometimes and other stuff about it

caus ei dont really understand it

[echo basalt]

there isn't, it's just a warning

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/static-methods-and-fields-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-avoid-them/

[mighty pier]

thank

[tender shard]

oh ok

[noble forge]

What does this syntax do

variable assignment inside of a method call?

[echo basalt]

yeah

[noble forge]

thats really puzzling

so its only assigning checkClass that value if this condition evaluates to true?

and then at the same time passing that value into the method call

[dire marsh]

if that condition is true it isn't going to check the next condition because of the or afaik

[mighty pier]

what is the garbage collector?

[dire marsh]

it removes your terrible code

[fluid river]

map is part too

[noble forge]

oh right I mean false

[tender shard]

if(int i = 2 == 2) ...

is the same as

int i = 2;
if(i == 2) ...

[fluid river]

why not just if (2 == 2) hehe

[tender shard]

because it was an example

a real life example would be sth like this

while((line = reader.nextLine()) != null) {
  // do sth with line

[noble forge]

but

int i = 0;
if (someCondition() && i = 3 == 3) {
  System.out.println(i);
} else {
  System.out.println(i);
}

i would only be 3 if someCondition() is true right?

[tender shard]

yes, because && is lazy

if you'D use &, then i would always be 3

[noble forge]

ah

[tender shard]

firstMethod() && secondMethod()
secondMethod() would only run when firstMethod() is true

if you'd use & instead &&, both would always run

[keen basin]

Does anyone understand the use of ProtocolLib?
how can I make the player break fast? I tried block breka animation. It's only animation. Don't break the block.

anyone got an idea of why (visually) end crystal and guardian lasers glitch out when looking at certain angles?

like i just cant see them sometimes

but my friend can see all of them

[mighty pier]

dilemma

[tender shard]

do you use any weird stuff like Iris or Sodium?

[fluid river]

client issue

sounds like YOU problem

might also be cuz of render distance

maybe you are too far, and entity is moving

[errant narwhal]

Hey

how to check if player in combat?

[fluid river]

who knows

if player deals damage

or gets damage

[errant narwhal]

oh ok

[quaint mantle]

how i get the LastDamageCause.....System.out.println(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause()); i write this, but i want do:
if(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().equals(TypeOfDamage)) what should I do if the message changes every time

type EntityDamageByEntity @ A number that is always changing

[vital sandal]

how can i get the text line data ?

[fluid river]

what

explain yourself

[tender shard]

yeah obviously, that's the HashCode of that object

[fluid river]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/AnvilInventory.html

Hey.
I have this class for managing player settings:
https://pastebin.com/QFQcCKqR
But it doesn't work.
When I use this code:

PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().CreatePlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId());
PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().GetPlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId()).set("test", "test");
PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().SavePlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId(), PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().GetPlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId()));

sender.sendMessage("Option: " + PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().GetPlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId()).getString("test"));

It gives me Option: null

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

[tardy delta]

thats some nice combination of naming conventions there

[static hollow]

Oh, sorry.

My main language is C#

[sacred mountain]

can you set the color of a guardian beaem

[static hollow]

and it has inverted naming conventions lol

[sacred mountain]

i know you can call a packet to make the client change it but thats randomized

[static hollow]

But, can you help me with it? I'll rewrite it later, but first i want it to work xd

[fluid river]

you are using unmodified yamlconf to save file

ofc it's gonna be null

if you are using singleton anyway

you can store YamlConf to hashmap

or just don't do this shit

var conf = PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().GetPlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId());
conf.set("test", "test");
PlayerSettingsManager.getInstance().SavePlayerSettings(sender.getUniqueId(), conf);```

done

naming convention...

[static hollow]

.

[tender shard]

tbh naming conventions become a joke when it's different for every language lol

[fluid river]

like you ignore the fact that getInstance is from lowercase

left from it 🙂

[static hollow]

oh, right xd

[tender shard]

lua is good in mixing UpperCamelCase and lowerCamelCase and also uses . and : and sometimes you also have snake_camel_case

[warm token]

@zealous osprey @last temple EntityBlockFormEvent doesn't get fired when you prime a TNT.

[static hollow]

yeah, it works...

thanks

[tardy delta]

i hate languages that use like begin and end, whats wrong with {}

[fluid river]

PascalABC enters the conversation...

[sacred mountain]

whats the best way to implement a "safe" .get() in a custom list object that will go back to the start index if it overflows, but infinitely

[fluid river]

waitwhat

[sacred mountain]

as in

for instance i have a list of size 10

if i want list.get(21)

it will return the first value

the math is easy im just making an api so i wanna make it as efficient as possilbe

[eternal oxide]

% 10

[fluid river]

int paramToGet = 21;
return list.get(paramToGet >= list.size()? 0 : paramToGet);```

[eternal oxide]

21 %10 = 1

[tender shard]

Ikr

[sacred mountain]

[i > length ? i % 10 : i]

thast the shortest i got it

ok cool

[fluid river]

first is 0 tho

[tender shard]

Dont worry about whats shorter but rather about whats more readable

[fluid river]

not 1

[eternal oxide]

no needs for the ter, literally list.get(length %(list.size))

[sacred mountain]

right yes

[mighty pier]

what does the ? mean

[sacred mountain]

good poitn

[tender shard]

Its called the „unary operator“, just google it

[sacred mountain]

ternary operator

oh

[fluid river]

ternary operator

[tender shard]

Eg String name = someCondition ? „Yes“ : „no“

[tender shard]

Oh yeah

[sacred mountain]

efficient method right there

[mighty pier]

aaa

ty

[fluid river]

int result = statementIsTrue? 1/*if-true*/ : 0/*if-false*/;```

[mighty pier]

it will be useful

[sacred mountain]

boolean isTrue = true ? true : false;

(efficient)

[tender shard]

If someaCondition is true, name will be yes, otherwise no

[fluid river]

well this thing is readable

[mighty pier]

what is the % called

[sacred mountain]

String myString;
if (condition) {
  myString = "Yes";
} else {
  myString = "No";
}

String myString = condition ? "Yes" : "No"

same

[hazy parrot]

moduo

[fluid river]

remainder of the division

🙂

[mighty pier]

ah so

[fluid river]

modulo isn't it

[sacred mountain]

modulus, modulo

[mighty pier]

4 % 2 would be 0

modular

[hazy parrot]

probably, i said it how we say in serbia 😄

[fluid river]

in pascal it's pascal mod

[sacred mountain]

yes

[mighty pier]

makes sense

[fluid river]

5%2 = 1

[sacred mountain]

0%0

[fluid river]

5%3 = 2

1%10= 1 tho

[fluid river]

Exception

[mighty pier]

wait so you would do 5/2 and then get the what

wjats the remainder

[fluid river]

that's like

[hazy parrot]

5 / 2 = 2 and 1 that cant be divided

[sacred mountain]

catch (Exception e) is true programming

[mighty pier]

k thanks

[fluid river]

5 - 2 = 3
3 - 2 = 1
1 < 3, so result is 1

[tender shard]

didnt you have math classes lol

[fluid river]

5 % 2 = 1

[mighty pier]

8th grade

[fluid river]

same goes for 5 % 3

[mighty pier]

no modular yet

[fluid river]

5 - 3 = 2
2 < 3, so result is 2

[tender shard]

damn I learnt that in 3rd grade 😄

[fluid river]

same

[mighty pier]

bruh

math was hardest in 4th grade

now its all easy

[fluid river]

math was hardest in 2nd university grade

[hazy parrot]

depends on who you ask 😄

[sacred mountain]

does Location#distance() give the displacement

[fluid river]

it gives distance

[sacred mountain]

the direction as the crow flies distance

[tender shard]

x % y is the same as x / y - (x/y as int, rounded down) * y

[tulip nimbus]

No, it gives scalar distance.

[fluid river]

just literal distance

[tender shard]

e.g. 5 / 2 = 2.5, 5 / 2 as int is 2, so 5 / 2 - 2*0.5 is 1

[fluid river]

you can travel across the vector between two players

and you will run same amount of blocks

as what #distance() returns

[sacred mountain]

ok

thanks

[fluid river]

tho for comparing two distances(which of 2 entities is closer to the third) use a faster distanceSquared

it's not much faster

but just faster

[sacred mountain]

minecraft's gravitational field is a lot stronger than earths damn

[fluid river]

ok

will know

[tender shard]

lol, not 9.81 blocks/s^2 ? 😄

[sacred mountain]

nah

[fluid river]

sand is falling slower tho

i'm sure

[sacred mountain]

27

[tender shard]

yeah falling blocks are slower than normal entities

kinda weird but ok

[fluid river]

falling sand entity is just OP

[fluid river]

already coded that

i have a new idea

Anybody watched Marvel's Guardians of the galaxy?

[tender shard]

I hated that movie, it was so ridiculous and boring. BUUUUT

the soundtrack is great

[fluid river]

there was a blue guy

with arrow

he whistled to control it

arrow was flying and killing people by itself

[tender shard]

when I open youtube, Guardians is right there

[vital sandal]

how can i do this :l

((AnvilInventory) gui.getInventory()).getRenameText());

[fluid river]

https://youtu.be/XbjpDrYhAF8

[tender shard]

requires packets IIRC

[fluid river]

from 0:58

maybe i should code this arrow

[vital sandal]

what is this ?

[fluid river]

you can't

[sacred mountain]

anyone know why i'm getting a negative value? loc.distance(loc2) is returning negative occasionally somehow and then i used Math.abs() still negative

[vital sandal]

i mean if there is a way to do it

[fluid river]

oh no you can

what's the problem with it

[tender shard]

if you use Math.abs then it MUST be positive

[tender shard]

there is no getRenameText() in AnvilInventory

[tender shard]

damn I had the wrong tab open

my bad

sorry

[fluid river]

🙂

[vital sandal]

Bukkit.createInventory(null, InventoryType.ANVIL); is NOT instant of AnvilInventory

[sacred mountain]

bru hwath

[vital sandal]

even its type is ANVIL

[fluid river]

and when you open it

you have anvil menu

[tender shard]

I had the 1.8 docs open D:

[sacred mountain]

im using the distance between 2 points as a speed regulator, so i'm putting the distance as the ticks

[fluid river]

sad

[sacred mountain]

the error is saying the ticks cant be negative

[vital sandal]

sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2+(z1-z2)^2)

use math^

[fluid river]

nooo

please

[vital sandal]

but i cant get the RenameText out of it

[fluid river]

so when you try casting inv to AnvilInventory you get Exception?

[tender shard]

why not?

[fluid river]

show your error

[tender shard]

FREE LUA LESSONS

[mighty pier]

u used nms anvilinventory

wrong import

[grim ice]

anyone knows why intellij is SO SLOW with gradle

[mighty pier]

uh

then inventory is the wrong import idk

[vital sandal]

...

there is no wrong import here

[mighty pier]

then its cring

[river oracle]

ahhh theres your mistake use maven

😂 who knows try invalidating caches or something usually that fixes intellij shit

[vital sandal]

even getMethod() return no method :L

[fluid river]

try casting to

CraftInventoryAnvil

[sacred mountain]

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Ticks must be a positive value bruh

[fluid river]

print your distance

print your ticks

[sacred mountain]

it's positive hwen i print it

im so confused

[fluid river]

print everything

[tardy delta]

interesting https://media.pearsoncmg.com/ph/esm/ecs_liang_ijp_12/cw/#web-chapters

[fluid river]

maybe ticks need to be integer

[vital sandal]

no luck

[fluid river]

hmm

i guess you need to use something other than Bukkit.createInventory

[vital sandal]

actually it was from InventoryClickEvent

[sacred mountain]

it literally cant be negative

1. it's a distance
2. i put Math.abs() on it

[fluid river]

yeah when you click it's always craftinventorycustom

but still

[vital sandal]

code ?

[sacred mountain]

i may be really stupid

[tender shard]

try {
  somethingNew();
} catch (TrapAssertionError err) {
  // traps aren't gay
}

[vital sandal]

no idea how to deal with this :L

[fluid river]

i'm thinking

[sacred mountain]

i did a <= 0 not a < 0 in my exception manager

ffs

[crimson vault]

Hi, is there any way to programming something likes this? https://prnt.sc/ALcQ9fnt9H5v - thanks in advance

[fluid river]

maybe you need

PrepareAnvilEvent

instead

[tender shard]

sure, but it requires NMS

[worldly ingot]

Was going to say, distance can definitely be 0.x, which would get truncated to 0

[crimson vault]

ok and then? :9

[tender shard]

I made this for my JeffLib, I'll send links in a minute

[crimson vault]

Ok, would find that really nice

[vital sandal]

no idea what is this

[tender shard]

"core" class: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/data/ToastMessage.java

@crimson vault

basically you need to create a fake advancement, then grant it to the player

[crimson vault]

Ok thank you 🙂

[tender shard]

or you just use my existing jefflib thing but it's like 300kb in total 😛

[crimson vault]

I'll try it

[tender shard]

feel free to copy paste everything you need

[fluid river]

is prnt.sc blocked in russia or page is just incorrect

[river oracle]

pff my lib is only 80kb

not because it has less stuff in it or anything

[crimson vault]

idk?

[fluid river]

not loading for me

[crimson vault]

everything works for me

[fluid river]

well

rip russia

[crimson vault]

:/

[tender shard]

yikes okay I'm at 550kb

[river oracle]

toast

[crimson vault]

Spigot should really integrate something like this into the API

[fluid river]

can't you just use sendAdvancement

[tender shard]

everyone's free to pull request

[river oracle]

yea they should alex come on do us a favor

[crimson vault]

I wonder why they haven't done it yet.

[tender shard]

I wonder why YOU haven't PRed it yet 😛

[river oracle]

don't worry I'll start committing to spigot next year guys

[crimson vault]

I can do?

[river oracle]

my 18th birthday present to spigot is my contributions

[tender shard]

that's what I also said 2 years ago. Now, I actually did contribute many times, but everything was just javadoc fixes lmao

[crimson vault]

where?

[tender shard]

ofc

`stash

?stash

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/

[tender shard]

there you can clone spigot and bukkit, add your additions, then PR them

[crimson vault]

ohh nicee

[tender shard]

(you need to sign a CLA though)

[river oracle]

what is hte CLA again just "You don't own this code"

[tender shard]

but you can do that online

[crimson vault]

Ok

[tender shard]

basically, yeah

[crimson vault]

thanks

[river oracle]

god I gotta write a report for my school programming project

idk how I'm supposed to write a report on something so logistically basic

[crimson vault]

I prefer to use the whole Jeff Liberay instead of copying that

[tender shard]

sure, dependency information is in the README file

[river oracle]

jefflib more like jeffmid

Y2Kcommons very unfinished and unpolished lib on top

[tender shard]

this mfnalex dude seems to be obsessed with OfflinePlayerPersistentDataContainers

[crimson vault]

but the API looks really good respect

yeah i see

[river oracle]

damn thats possible?

thats cool

[tender shard]

haha thanks. It's basically just stuff that I need in all of my plugins

[thorny marsh]

If I want to get the distance from two different locations using location.distance, is the value in block length?

[crimson vault]

respect respect :d

[tender shard]

sure with NMS you can just read the player's .dat file (MojangsonParser or whatever it's called)

[river oracle]

oh cool

yesterday I tried to figure out motd stuff and I gave up after 4 hours

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/spigot_1_19_2_R1/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/internal/nms/v1_19_2_R1/NMSHandler.java#L430

[river oracle]

surprisingly difficult to format that stuff

[tulip nimbus]

The value is a double representing the distance in blocks between the two locations, yes

[river oracle]

mojang has their GSON format in a static final var which means the only way to edit it as far as I'm aware is just a bug in the jdk that was patched in jdk 18. That or mixins but that'd require a server patch

[wet breach]

depends what is returned. If a double is returned no not quite as it can have decimal. If its an int, yes it would be.

[wet breach]

doubles don't represent block length, since blocks are whole numbers not fractions

[tulip nimbus]

I thought a block is considered a meter, so can’t it be considered that a fraction of a block is a fraction of a meter

[vital sandal]

PrepareAnvilEvent only work for non-virtual anvil :<

[wet breach]

yes just an odd way to measure is all, since diagonals etc

typically when measuring by block length you are expecting whole blocks not odd fractions of a block

[river oracle]

Virtual Anvils are scuffed honestly most virtual inventories are scuffed outside of chests and dispesners

[vital sandal]

use MATH

[fluid river]

yes

1 block = 1 meter = 1 unit

[azure gate]

hlo

why villager is not picking up material even mob griefing is true

[fluid river]

but the distance() is diagonal

[azure gate]

help

[tender shard]

because villagers do not pick up random items

[fluid river]

villagers can pickup items?

[tender shard]

they can pickup edible stuff and seeds etc

but usually nothing else

[fluid river]

bruh

i should play minecraft more

[tender shard]

you can make them your slaves

[azure gate]

i give then seed

then also they don't pick

[tender shard]

e.g. you have a dispenser that throws wheat seeds at them, then they go replant your farm

[wet breach]

typically when measuring by block lengths you do so by whole blocks, not fraction of a block, so while true not quite accurate either.

[vital sandal]

their inventories are full maybe ?

[azure gate]

i spawned villager

[tender shard]

then their inventory is maybe already full?

[fluid river]

1 is a full block

0.1 is 1/10 of the full block

[wet breach]

I am aware of this and there is methods to return only whole numbers IE ints.

[azure gate]

i spawned the villager from egg, breeding
then also they don't pick up seed

[wet breach]

so if you wanted just block length you do so by whole numbers not by fractions

[vital sandal]

are they farmers :l?

[fluid river]

1 is a full block

again

[wet breach]

I guess you fail at understanding

[azure gate]

any dev here ?

[fluid river]

oh you mean distance method itself

[wet breach]

typically when you want to measure by block length you do so with whole numbers, not fractions because there is things in MC that don't care or the fraction is not relevant

[fluid river]

.

[storm scaffold]

How do I fix
Required: object. Actual: string.
In command permissions and permission messages in a gradle plugin.yml

[fluid river]

then yeah it operates with 0.001 as lowest value

so 1/1000 of full block

so you have 111.222 X

222.333 Y

[wet breach]

which is meaningless for other methods that axe off the fraction anyways 😛

[fluid river]

and 333.444 Z

[azure gate]

can anyone help me

[fluid river]

when you do distance you basically do

[azure gate]

why villager is not picking up material even mob griefing is true
i spawned the villager from egg, breeding
then also they don't pick up seed

[storm scaffold]

What am I doing wrong here? I followed the guide on spigotmc

[crimson terrace]

how about you show some of your code

at least the bit where it shows that error

[fluid river]

distance = sqrt(pow((111.222 - 3.121), 2) /* which is X1 - X0 */ + pow((222.333 - 103.121), 2) /* which is Y1 - Y0 */ + pow((333.444 - 203.121), 2) /* which is Z1-Z0 */)```

[storm scaffold]

permission: customenchants.customenchant
permission-message: You do not have permission to use this command

[wet breach]

when you measure in block lengths what is expected is whole blocks to do so, even if the final number is half a block you would still use a whole block for it

[crimson terrace]

a screenshot would do nicely comet

[wet breach]

I am not saying you can't measure blocks with fractions

you are just not understanding the two different measurements

[storm scaffold]

The attach button doesn't work

[crimson terrace]

verify

[wet breach]

lets take example of beard length measurement which is used to measure the length of beards in a given time. You could still use any other measurement that you want, but it would be more accurate or better to use beard length not that it must absolutely be used.

that is what you are not understanding when someone asks if its measured in blocks or not

[fluid river]

this numbers in formuals are from minecraft absolute minimal length

[fresh timber]

How can I get the player's version in a PlayerJoinEvent?

[fluid river]

0.001

and yeah result of Location#distance(Location) has more zeros

after the point

cuz it's just a scalar value represented by double

[twin venture]

hi , how i can keep the chunk loaded?

after player leave the server?

i mean for entites?

[wet breach]

anyways distance doesn't factor in diagonals so you really couldn't say its measured in blocks. Because a diagonal isn't a full representation of a blocks length.

[fluid river]

it's diagonal of a rectangle

[wet breach]

a diagonal is about what 1/3 larger then a blocks length?

if I remember right from math

[fluid river]

yeah

but length + width is bigger than diagonal anyways

[crimson terrace]

youre trying to make a command with a permission?

[fluid river]

for square diagonal is

side * sqrt(2)

[twin venture]

🤔 sooo how i can keep the chunk loaded?

[fluid river]

i guess you cancel chunkunloadevent

[storm scaffold]

yes a command that requires a permission to be ran

[fresh timber]

cant u use /forceload

to keep a chunck loaded

[wet breach]

cancel the event if its a chunk you don't want unloaded using chunkunloadevent

[wet breach]

that doesn't keep something loaded, that tells the server to load it anyway you can

[crimson terrace]

you dont do that in the plugin.yml. you check the player who runs the command for Player#hasPermission() (usually)

[fresh timber]

ok

[fluid river]

so well @wet breach

[wet breach]

just so we are on the same page, I am not disputing you can measure blocks via fractions lmao

[storm scaffold]

Oh ok, the guide i saw on spigotmc said to set it in the plugin.yml, do i still define the command in the plugin.yml just without the permission?

[fluid river]

we are talking about what distance() returns

[wet breach]

just when someone is asking about measurement being in block lengths typically they mean by whole blocks

[river oracle]

pfff I don't even use my plugin.yml

[crimson terrace]

its possible but if its not working just use the other way.

[fluid river]

it basically diagonal of the rectangle

where each point has format number.3numbers

123123.000

[crimson terrace]

also maybe try using a Command framework like ACF... its a bit to read into but definitely keeps your code cleaner

[mighty pier]

https://github.com/frandma/Utils rate plugin

[fluid river]

so if distance returns 1 then you have 1 full block between you 🙂

or 1 meter

or 1 default unit

or 16 pixels

[twin venture]

well the problem is when i leave the server the entity stop working like it suppose to be

[fluid river]

and for 1.3 you have one full block plus one third of the block(or meters or units(or 16 * units PIXELS))

[twin venture]

i dont want to remove it after i leave , i want to keep it working

[fluid river]

or 1.3 units

[twin venture]

like it suppose to be

i just want ideas on how i can do that

[wet breach]

yes because even if the entity is still there, the server requires a player to be on the server for it to keep doing stuff. Not only does the chunk need to be loaded but a player needs to be nearby as well

[twin venture]

its an armorstand , it rotate , but when i leave it stop rotate + break ..

[twin venture]

is there a work around?

without creating huge lag?

[wet breach]

you could use NMS to override the AI stuff, but I mean why does it need to keep rotation when no one is nearby?

couldn't you just have a method that resets it?

[twin venture]

its not packets armorstand , normal armorstand

[tardy delta]

doing 5 queries 💀

[twin venture]

so when a player click on the lootbox [armorstand] it drop an item

[river oracle]

its a meh out of 10

[mighty pier]

cum

[wet breach]

ok, doesn't change my response

[twin venture]

do you want to join my test server to see what i mean?

[mighty pier]

what do id o then

[river oracle]

I bet they aren't being done async either

[mighty pier]

what that mean

[wet breach]

or you could answer why it needs to continue doing something with no one nearby

[tardy delta]

do one query to get a resultset and call your get... methods on that

[wet breach]

why is it important that it keeps rotating even if no players exists

[twin venture]

is it possible to make it stop spawning / rotating , and only do that if player exist?

[wet breach]

yes

[tardy delta]

nope

[river oracle]

afaik PlayerPreLoginEvent isn't async either so its being queried on the main thread. So not only does it query 5 times it halts the main thread

[twin venture]

but will that check make it a bit laggy?

[wet breach]

would it matter if there is no players? And no most checks don't lag the server especially if they are part of events in most cases

[mighty pier]

explain in english terms

[tardy delta]

why are you talking bout sync event and showing me an image of an async event?

[river oracle]

oh my god

I misread lol

[twin venture]

alright thanks for answering i sent you the server ip , if you like to join and see what i mean ..

[tardy delta]

AsyncPreLoginEvent

[wet breach]

you should be using async method

unless there is a specific reason to use sync

[mighty pier]

is banning player good reason to use sync

like if player is ban

kick

[river oracle]

I dont' think you can kick async

you can't kick async*

[wet breach]

sure since you are not doing it hundreds times a second 😛

[tardy delta]

what is this supposed to do

[mighty pier]

check if player wasnt kicked pretty sure

stole code

from friend

[tardy delta]

cleaning up invalidated player instances ig?

[mighty pier]

exaclyt

[wet breach]

if you had an appropriate caching mechanism like what guava provides this is unnecessary

as the cache should be one that expires

[river oracle]

^ I was about to suggest guava caches

[tardy delta]

why is an userdata object aware of its player?

[mighty pier]

i dont even know what that means

[tardy delta]

feels kinda weird this

[wet breach]

basically they are saying, a manager type object or class should be the one aware of the player and doing the removing

[mighty pier]

fully stolen class

[tardy delta]

^^

[wet breach]

not the object itself that is suppose to represent the player

[river oracle]

steal from someone who has higher quality code

[wet breach]

this ^ lmao

[mighty pier]

the one i stole the code says i suck at coding

[wet breach]

well they appear to not be much better

[mighty pier]

and asks why i dont use completable futures and other shit

[river oracle]

the one you stole the code from also sucks at coding

[wet breach]

so don't feel bad

odds are they stole code too

[river oracle]

lol

[tardy delta]

probably

[mighty pier]

so

[tardy delta]

third hand code

[mighty pier]

he is obsessed with optimizing performance

but

he sucks at it?

[wet breach]

apparently

[mighty pier]

ok

[mighty pier]

so only one user class

userdata is useless

[wet breach]

its not that, has to do with semantics being referred earlier

or better way to say it, Standards

doesn't mean you can't do it like that, just according to standards it isn't appropriate

[tardy delta]

i'm wondering why the userdata isnt put in the UserData class but in the User class and in UserData theres a random uuid->user map 🤔

which isnt static either

[wet breach]

don't be mentioning statics to them yet >>

[tardy delta]

what have i done 🥲

[wet breach]

they might be one of the golden few to learn appropriately without static mess 😛

[tardy delta]

and i just fucked up

im sorry

[river oracle]

I remember being yelled at on spigot about using static as soon as I started so I used DI straight from the start xD

[wet breach]

lol

[sacred mountain]

is there a listener for drawing back a bow?

[tardy delta]

i didnt want to use di at first cuz i saw too much 'this' lol

[hasty prawn]

Gotta fix it when they're young

[tardy delta]

teach 'em while theyre young

[river oracle]

me now appreciates it even if I didn't when I started a year and a half ago

[sacred mountain]

theres shoot bow event but i wanna do stuff before they shoot

[hasty prawn]

PlayerInteractEvent and check if they're holding a bow

[mighty pier]

can someone spoonfeed me code or explain it in simpler terms caus ei dont understand 90% of this

[hasty prawn]

Idk id there's a specific method for it

[tardy delta]

bruh

[hasty prawn]

[wet breach]

no

[crimson terrace]

the interact event comes closest

[wet breach]

if you are wanting to know if they drew back the bow all the way or not there is this

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityShootBowEvent.html#getForce()

[sacred mountain]

bruh

might have to use interactevent workarounds ig

[river oracle]

basically you are in way above your head tone down your projects a bit if you got no clue whats going on and teach yourself some basics alongside doing basic plugins

[wet breach]

well usually there isn't a need to know if they drew back a bow or not except if you wanted to know how much force

which the shootbow event has the method for it

[sacred mountain]

well i need

[wet breach]

but the reason there isn't a listener for it is because the client doesn't report that the player is drawing a bow back and all that

[river oracle]

if you don't understand cacheing spend some time reading up on it if you don't understand some design patterns there are plenty of resources explaining them in depth

[mighty pier]

what are basic plugins

im not very creative

give suggestions

[wet breach]

basic plugins are things like ban managers

or teleportation plugins

those types of plugins can start basic

[mighty pier]

i do that in utils

[wet breach]

and go all the way into advanced things if you want

without changing what they do

[tardy delta]

ill probably make a custom items plugin

[hasty prawn]

spawn Mr Pig plugin is one of my favorites

[wet breach]

while you might do that in utils, doesn't mean you have grasped the full potential a ban manager can have though. Especially when you start learning to use other systems or software with your plugin. Like using a DB with it to track banned players instead of letting the server do that

[twin venture]

Sorry for mention frostalf , what i should do with my problem with chunks?

[mighty pier]

sqlite in utils

[river oracle]

also don't go to broad just make one really good plugin that does one thing

[twin venture]

is it better to check in the runnable when i start spawning armorstand , check if the chunk is loaded then start spawning

[mighty pier]

yes

ill do that

[mighty pier]

.

[wet breach]

sqlite only works so well, if you get into the millions of objects area sqlite is going to choke on it

[river oracle]

imagine not using mongo 😂 (I'm using sqlite rn 😢 )

[mighty pier]

i used mongo

everyone puked on it

im using swlite

[river oracle]

the thing that I think is really amazing about mongo is its java drivers they are super nice

[wet breach]

you should always be checking if the chunk is loaded. Can't spawn entities in an unloaded one, second check if there is players nearby or even on the server otherwise why have your server consume resources for no one? lmao

[river oracle]

but outside of that for your use case sqlite is fine

[twin venture]

alright thanks

[wet breach]

no problem, and as per the usual come back if you get stuck again 🙂

can't say I will be on at that given time but I am always here and so are others to help 😄

[twin venture]

something like this?

[wet breach]

use ||

well I guess you could go with and

[twin venture]

alright

[wet breach]

if it was me I would use methods that just load a chunk regardless

this way there shouldn't be an instance of an unloaded chunk you are spawning into as well as it removes the check for that

then all you really need is just to check if players are nearby or even on the server

the methods to load a chunk do not error if the chunk is already loaded, well they do just they do so silently and don't hurt anything

[twin venture]

i see thanks for explaining again

[tender shard]

getChunk() will always load the chunk, so the whole thing is pointless

[worldly ingot]

Was just going to say

World#isChunkLoaded(x, z)

[tender shard]

whenever you do getChunk(), it will load the chunk (in a blocking way, ofc)

[twin venture]

what i can do then? the problem is kind of weird

[tender shard]

yep! I learnt that the hard way lmao

[tardy delta]

hmm refactored some things

[tender shard]

what Choco said

basically
chunkX = normalX / 16;
// same for Z

and then do World#isChunkLoaded(chunkX, chunkZ)

[worldly ingot]

Or >> 4 if you want to be fancy

[tender shard]

yeah but tbh it's the same

[worldly ingot]

I think it's marginally faster than a division too

[twin venture]

the lootboxes [armorstand ] locations will be in 1 world only ,

[tardy delta]

isnt bitwise natively implemented?

[worldly ingot]

Is it >> or <<? I always fucking forget which way to shift the bits to divide by 4

[tender shard]

yeah I also thought that >> might be faster but CPUs do these kinds of optimizations anyway so ....

it's pointless

/ 16 is more readable so I'd rather go for that

[worldly ingot]

YOU'RE POINTLESS. MY CPU CYCLES ARE IMPORTANT

[tardy delta]

4

[worldly ingot]

[tardy delta]

i paid for the cpu, im gonna use the whole cpu

[tender shard]

THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[worldly ingot]

Sorry... can you tell I've been learning C++ a bit more lately? lol

[tardy delta]

same lol

[thorny marsh]

thx

[tardy delta]

well my course site randomly stopped

[tender shard]

idk I'm learning lua right now so I guess I'm lost
