[harsh totem]

good

[wet breach]

it shouldn't be null, rather it should be the projectile as the killer

But, all you should need to do though if you have a projectile is to get the ProjectileSource

[trim creek]

Both codes are the same but the one in the non-actualy-event class does not works. Everything is set up. Class is registered, method has @EventHandler.

How is attacker null when it is a palyeR?

[solemn meteor]

Thanks a lot!

[wet breach]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[trim creek]

There is no error actually.

Only thing when I added a check if attacker is null it returned yes

and idk how or why

[wet breach]

ok, but being able to see the code you are working with would be very handy

[trim creek]

https://paste.md-5.net/xewevunuxi.java - this is the kill class - that is NOT the actual class for managing kills, this does something else

https://paste.md-5.net/puqomimobo.cs - and an actual class, that manages kills and stats

which works

fine

and the reason why the first class almost looks the same as the second is... because I even copied the code from the second class into the first class, "maybe then you will do your job". Still I am null

[wet breach]

because you are using the wrong event

[trim creek]

no matter what event I used actuall

Entity or Player

both return the player as null

[wet breach]

yes because they are both wrong events

[trim creek]

oh...

[wet breach]

by the time those events are thrown it is generally too late to do anything, don't even think they are cancellable

however

there is events you should be listening to though for your purpose

if you need to know if they are going to die

check their health if its at 0

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageByEntityEvent.html

[trim creek]

it sure is wrid

I mean

as of I said

[wet breach]

you can detect death yes

I never said you couldn't

[trim creek]

class 2 works fine with EntityDeathEvent

but class 1 does not

[wet breach]

you just can't cancel the death event if I recall

you have to do it before they actually die

correct, and the event that would give them a killer is the one I provided above

all you do is check for their health being at 0

[trim creek]

And is even better and also easier I think

but still can't figure out why is killer null

I wonder what if I replace Player to LivingEntity

[undone axle]

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

[trim creek]

oh wow one codeline won't work xd

[remote swallow]

^^^^

[tardy delta]

no need to set lore to a mutable list

[wet breach]

it should still be noted, also noticed what they were doing wrong, that killer is not a player if an arrow kills the player and the code needs to be modified to handle such things to get the real killer

[trim creek]

Seems logical

btw the code you sent I tried... Still sends me as null 😹

I swear Minecraft is the best game ever lmao

[zealous osprey]

now my graph has died 💀

[wet breach]

has to do with the way it is implemented

it is the whole reason projectilesource actually exists

[trim creek]

by palyerslol

I guess that should not matter. One event works, but the other doesn't. One detects the killer, the second doesn't.

And both code are almost the same.

Both classes are registered.

Which means... Either I am a stupid man who just mistyped something, or Java or Spigot/Paper is having trouble reading the same code at the same time lmao

It will throw NPE

Beucase killer cannot be set to a player

and code requires player

aaaand even trying to send a message to the killer does not appear lmao

Even made a new event to send messages to both killer and killed player. Killer is still null

[snow compass]

Why do like this? return this.lore == null ? null : new ArrayList(Lists.transform(this.lore, CraftChatMessage::fromJSONComponent)); when you only want to compere x lore with y lore (should be some raw method to get i also). Or method were you can check if two lore is equal.

It cost performance if you try access it to often, how it constructed.

I mean some say use spigot api were you can, but things like this I start to think on use nms instead and is not the only bug some has stick around for 10 years ether.

[faint sedge]

Hey, i'm struggling so hard to spawn Paricles in minecraft 1.8 can someone tell me what command should i use ?
I've already tried spawnParticle, but for some reasons i can't manage to cast it

[vast kelp]

Iirc that's going to vary depending on which particle you want

Also depending on the effect you want maybe just use https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/effectlib

Event for naturally spawned villagers?

[golden turret]

How can I check the interaction result of a player when he right-clicks with an item in his hand? Something like targetBlock.getInteractResult(playerItem)

[vast kelp]

I don't think you can? Since you have the block you could wait a tick and see if its state has changed desirably.

Never used them but I'm seeing #useInteractedBlock and #useItemInHand return a Result

[faint sedge]

Do you have a link for like any particle, just to see where to start ? cause everything i've seen does not work

[vast kelp]

No, but if you tell me which particle you want I could try searching.

[rotund ravine]

You can save the state at the event and a tick after.

[faint sedge]

If you have the time to help me, SNOWBALL_POOF would be nice, i appreciate so much ur devotion

[distant ridge]

ya'll i had IntelliJ installed but it was acting weird, so i uninstalled, re-installed, and now it doesn't recognize Bukkit as a dependency in IntelliJ even tho it compiles fine ... help?

like if i type getLogger() it doesn't show the Bukkit import at all

if i use the import from another file it then it highlights getLogger as an error

[faint sedge]

I've seen that there is playEffect() that exists but

Effect effect,
T data)```
i don't know what the data stands for

[vast kelp]

Looks like you were on the right track. For 1.8 it seems to be player.playEffect(player.getLocation(), Effect.SNOWBALL, 1f); where 1f appears to be speed but doesn't apply to all particles

[hasty prawn]

It's extra data depending on what Effect you're using

[vast kelp]

Make sure your Minecraft client has particles enabled

[vast kelp]

That argument can only be a float? I think there's an overloaded one (+1 more argument) that is extra data

[hasty prawn]

He sent that one, no?

[vast kelp]

Oh nvm I thought you replied to me

You right

[river oracle]

We're you using maven?

[distant ridge]

yeah

[river oracle]

If not probably time to switch it'd only be logical to if so. Make sure the project is loaded correctly try invalidating caches

[faint sedge]

Could not pass event EntityDamageByEntityEvent to pluginOneCube v1.0 org.bukkit.event.EventException: null thrown in my cmd.exe

[naive bolt]

when i cancel the AsyncPlayerChatEvent my message is still sent?

[faint sedge]

tysm

[distant ridge]

it's weird how it works i haven't seen something like that

[distant ridge]

then it's not being cancelled or called. what's the code?

[naive bolt]

            // Staff chat is enabled
            e.setCancelled(true);
            plugin.sendStaffChat(p,msg);
        }```

[hasty prawn]

Most of them will just have data be null, but something like... RECORD_PLAY wants the disc ID as the data.

[naive bolt]

the plugin.sendStaffChat(p,msg); is happening

[distant ridge]

full code

[naive bolt]

    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        String msg = e.getMessage();

        if(staffChatToggled.containsKey(p.getUniqueId()) || msg.startsWith("#")){
            // Staff chat is enabled
            e.setCancelled(true);
            plugin.sendStaffChat(p,msg);
        }
    }

[river oracle]

I hate intellij so I can't help to much sometimes invalidating caches works with idea products tho

[distant ridge]

it didn't work

[distant ridge]

try also doing a blank return

[faint sedge]

Thank u so much, it works, but if i want to summon more particles, do u know how i could do, except casting the command multiple times ?

[distant ridge]

its such a crazy bug.

i had to do the reinstall because it kept freezing up on me with no plugins

[naive bolt]

its a void function

[distant ridge]

then do a return;

[vast kelp]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Scheduler_Programming

[hasty prawn]

Uhh, playEffect doesn't have any count or delta arguments that I see. You might just have to call it multiple times.

[naive bolt]

which is unnecessary

[distant ridge]

it exits the function

[naive bolt]

not in a void

[distant ridge]

yes it does

you can't return a value or true/false but you can do a blank return

[naive bolt]

even inteli will tell u

[remote swallow]

add code after it then it wont shout

eg

public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
    if (event.getPlayer().getGameMode() == GameMode.CREATIVE) return;
``` will scream at me 

```java
public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
    if (event.getPlayer().getGameMode() == GameMode.CREATIVE) return;
    event.getPlayer().sendMessage("Block placed");
``` wont shout at me

[naive bolt]

hm k

the return appears to work somehow.

java moment

skill issue

[wary topaz]

public void listhomes(Player p) {
        int e = homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false).size();
        StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
        while (e > 0) {
            message = new StringBuilder(message + homeConfig.getStringList("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).get(e));
            e++;
        }
        p.sendMessage("Here is a list of your homes: " + message);
    }

[remote swallow]

what does the config look like

[remote swallow]

why are you making message a new string builder when it already as one

[wary topaz]

?

[remote swallow]

StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();

message = new StringBuilder(message + homeConfig.getStringList("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).get(e))

[wary topaz]

Variable 'message' might not have been initialized

[eternal oxide]

e++ your loop will never end as it starts non zero

[wary topaz]

omg

im so stupid

thank you ;D

ill be back if it doesnt owrk

[desert loom]

what are you trying to do with that code?

[wary topaz]

its gonna be a homes sort thing

ah danget it errored again

public void listhomes(Player p) {
        int e = homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false).size();
        StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
        while (e > 0) {
            message = new StringBuilder(message + homeConfig.getStringList("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).get(e));
            e--;
        }
        p.sendMessage("Here is a list of your homes: " + message);
    }

[eternal oxide]

Why not just for loop homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false)

[remote swallow]

yeah

[wary topaz]

i dont know how I would go around doing that im used to while loops

[remote swallow]

for (int i = 0; homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false) > 0; i++ {
code

[eternal oxide]

for(String key: homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false)) {```

[desert loom]

what is the output for that message supposed to look like?

[remote swallow]

forgot about that

[wary topaz]

"Here is a list of your homes: e1, e2, e3

[desert loom]

I recommend looping over the keys of "Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()and joining them with a StringJoiner

[remote swallow]

public void listHomes(Player player) {
  StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
  for(String key: homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false)) {
    message.add(key);
  }
}

[wary topaz]

Cannot resolve method 'add' in 'StringBuilder'

[desert loom]

it's append or something like that

[remote swallow]

try append

[river oracle]

you need to learn how to use java docs

[wary topaz]

ill try it

[desert loom]

also, if you want to have a delimiter I recommend using a StringJoiner instead.

[river oracle]

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/StringBuilder.html

[wary topaz]

you mean a comma?

[desert loom]

yep

so if you want home1,home2,home3

using a StringJoiner instead of a StringBuilder would make that easier

[wary topaz]

alr im using string joiner ima test it

[desert loom]

for example

        StringJoiner joiner = new StringJoiner(","); // each string will be separated by a ,

        joiner.add("a");
        joiner.add("b");

        System.out.println(joiner); // prints a,b

[wary topaz]

it works!

        StringJoiner message = new StringJoiner(", ");
        for (String key : homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false)) {
            message.add(key);
        }
        p.sendMessage(message + "");
    }```

For anyone who might find this useful here is my code

[eternal oxide]

you could just String.join(stufFromConfig, ",")

[desert loom]

actually yeah you could do that too

[wary topaz]

ima just leave it as it is

[fluid river]

he

he

player.sendMessage(homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false).stream().collect(Collectors.joining(", ")));```

player.sendMessage(String.join(", ", homeConfig.getConfigurationSection("Homes.Players." + p.getUniqueId()).getKeys(false)));```

second is smaller

and don't use stream

so i guess a lot better

thanks oneliners for small codes

[wary topaz]

How can I delete a specific string list? For example:
Homes: Players: EthanGarey: E: X...

I want to delete "E" and everything in it.

[wise pumice]

Do you know the best way to add nametags next to a player's nickname?

[wary topaz]

add nametags?

[loud frost]

Set it to null and let the garbage collector do its magic

[wary topaz]

a

alr LOL

[wise pumice]

but how? nametagedit has errors, protocollib not sure how. I was looking for some api and found nothing interesting.

[fluid river]

config.set("Homes.Players.EthanGarey.E", null)
config.save()

[wary topaz]

pc lagging this might take a while

[loud frost]

Anyone know a resource to listen to the sounds in the Sound enum?

[remote swallow]

/playsound?

[loud frost]

only done manually in game?

[remote swallow]

yeah

[wary topaz]

it worked thanks guys

[fluid river]

shouldn't be a problem for developer ig

[naive bolt]

if i have something like ```yml
RTP-Menu:
buttons:
North_America: "Image.png"
South_America: "Image.png"
Europe: "Image.png"
Africa: "Image.png"
Asia: "Image.png"
Oceania: "Image.png"

how would i loop over these keys like "North_America"

is it getConfigurationSection

[tardy delta]

config.getSection("ripmenu.buttons")

loop over that and youre looping over the entries

[remote swallow]

for (String key : config.getConfigurationSection("path") { sysout.(key) }

[tardy delta]

then gets its value using config.getString(valLoopingOver")

i forgot actually

[naive bolt]

you cannot loop over configuration section
"foreach not applicable to type '[e-mail] ConfigurationSection'"

[remote swallow]

oh sorry

[tardy delta]

i believe im talking about getKeys(false)

use mine

[remote swallow]

yeah

for (String key : config.getConfigurationSection("path").getKeys(false)) { sysout.(key) } if you want my one

[naive bolt]

Thanks guys

Much appreciated

Idk why it's null though, i created the file..

[remote swallow]

now something doesnt add up

im gonna say its because of the load method

[wary topaz]

what should I do?

[remote swallow]

one moment

change it to look like

File motdConfigFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "motd.yml");
        if (!motdConfigFile.exists()) {
            motdConfigFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            plugin.saveResource("motd.yml", false);

        }
        try {

            Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage("§4§lAn error occurred while reading your motd.yml file, if you need help just join our discord with /betterserver help!");

replacing it to work with the correct vars ofc

is the config section null or not exist

[wary topaz]

its null

but it has all the contents which dont make sense

[remote swallow]

?paste the new file

[undone axle]

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

[wary topaz]

maybe its my tab completer

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

it says line 228 is null

which doesnt make sense

[remote swallow]

have you ran the command without tab complete

oh wait

[wary topaz]

when i do that it says line 88 is null

[delicate lynx]

what does the config section look like

[wary topaz]

yaml

[remote swallow]

epic code block fail?

[delicate lynx]

show us the actual file

[wary topaz]

yeah I think i found line 88 issue

[remote swallow]

the config section is null because theres nothing there

[wary topaz]

but that doesnt make sense for the tab completer

[remote swallow]

add a home and it wont be null

[remote swallow]

if its null it cant add anything

so errors out

also use StringUtil.copyPartialMatches

bukkit class

return StringUtil.copyPartialMatches(args[num], gethomes, new ArrayList<>()):

[wary topaz]

gethomes?

[wary topaz]

args?

[remote swallow]

its on your tab complete method

starts at 0

.length starts at 1

[delicate lynx]

probably should see if the section even exists before randomly trying to access it

[wary topaz]

what should I replace num with

[remote swallow]

the arg number

starts at 0

/comand arg0 arg1 arg2

args.length starts at 1, args[] starts at 0

[hazy parrot]

thanks C and pointers for it

[humble tulip]

args is never empty in tabcompleter

It always has atleast 1 arg

[delicate lynx]

interesting, I didn't know that

I guess that makes sense actually

[remote swallow]

it isnt tab completer if there isnt atleast 1 arg technically

"Please describe what exactly is not working" ok so basically it's not checking if there's any available versiom.

iirc it just removes the item not checking for size

[wary harness]

that sucks

is there way to remove proper amount

hm

[hazy parrot]

Most likely error on spigot side

I am doing shop so I am trying to check whole item for unstack items

and remove specific amount

oh

ffs

Okey, so basically

I was getting the resource ID twice

try (InputStream inputStream = new URL("https://api.spigotmc.org/legacy/update.php?resource=106488" + this.resourceId).openStream();

so I just removed the 106488 from the URL

Now it's working perfectly

Oh, then 503 shouldn't really be right response for that

Probably 404

How long takes spigot to update the api, becsause this one stills on the old version and I actually posted the new one

https://api.spigotmc.org/legacy/update.php?resource=106488

[mystic terrace]

I just started coding, I don't know how to do that at the moment :)

[vocal cloud]

That's fine there's always room to learn

[mystic terrace]

So basically spigot api takes a lot to update right?

[zealous scroll]

Does anyone know how to properly render a default map in a MapView

Or make the default renderer render the whole map and not just what's explored

[wheat inlet]

idk if this right channel but when I define a __global region with worldguard is global for every world in the server or just the world i am in?

[remote swallow]

just that world iirc

[oblique wigeon]

I'm woking on a custom crafting system, and need to listen for when an Item is crafted. Would the proper way to do this be to listen for something like CraftItemEvent, or instead listen to InventoryClickEvent, and just check if it's a crafting inventory and the result slot has been clicked?

[river oracle]

CraftItemEvent

[oblique wigeon]

this event is notated in the javadocs as when the recipe is satisfied- is this a misnomer then?

or is the description wrong

[remote swallow]

what do you need the event for

[oblique wigeon]

I'm working on a custom crafting system with custom amounts and such

and need to subtract the correct amounts of items when the user crafts the item into the result

[remote swallow]

probably inventory click event

[oblique wigeon]

thank you!

[humble tulip]

Is there any design pattern that would force subclasses to have an empty constructor?

[vocal cloud]

Why would you want that?

[humble tulip]

trying to make a cool util to insert/get objects to/from sql databases

[vocal cloud]

But why would forcing subclasses to have empty constructors solve this?

[humble tulip]

but i have no way to guarantee i can create an instance of the class with reflection if i cant guarantee an empty cosntructor

this is probably an x y problem

where i'm going abt it wrong

[vital yacht]

Just add it to the documentation

Most libraries throw an error if that happens

At least that I know of

[humble tulip]

makes sense

spigot throws an error as well

so it's fine ig

[vocal cloud]

Yup. Throw an error and wherever the error materializes add some documentation.

[humble tulip]

will do

btw for basics, are any other annotations needed to mark fields?

[vital yacht]

I would probably default to @NotNull but I guess that's a design choice

[humble tulip]

for sql not null is implied

[vital yacht]

Well in your screenshot you have @NotNull

[humble tulip]

oops

i meant for sql not null must be set, it's not the default

you can put null values unless otherwise specified

[vital yacht]

So you're invalidating this statement right?

[humble tulip]

Yes

[worldly ingot]

I was going to say. Not null as default would be different from what SQL actually does

[granite burrow]

I have probably a really stupid question, but if I run an event from my plugin would another plugin
(that has no correlation with my plugin other than being on the same server)
be able to use the event?

[azure gate]

                        if (enteredxp <= player.getExp()) {
                            player.sendMessage(InfoKeeper.getInfoKeeper(player, InfoKeeper.successfulWithdraw, enteredxp, (int) player.getExp()));
                            ExpBottleHandler.giveExpBottle(player, enteredxp);
                            ExpBottleHandler.removePlayerExp(player, enteredxp);
                        } else {
                            player.sendMessage(InfoKeeper.getInfoKeeper(player, InfoKeeper.notEnoughXp, enteredxp, (int) player.getExp()));
                        }```

whats is the issue here . i am having 400 xp and i am trying to withdraw 100 xp it shows i dont have enough xp

[kindred valley]

I have not understand it

[kindred valley]

What are you actually trying to do here

Decreasing the xp of a player?

[azure gate]

i have a command /myxp 100. here 100 willis args[0] so i want to validate the sentence like . if args[0] is less than my current xp then xp bottle will be given and 100 xp will be removed from user given else message will be sended to user.

[kindred valley]

Any errora?

[azure gate]

no err

[kindred valley]

Have you debugged the ifs?

[azure gate]

it show i dont have enough xp even i have xp

[kindred valley]

Is it entering the first if

[azure gate]

when i debuf player.getexp i get value like 0.8

and my xp level is 108

[kindred valley]

multiply your xp by 135 and try again

Like if(enteredxp <= (player.getExp() * 135) { //Stuff }

[azure gate]

why to multiply with 135

[kindred valley]

if your xp level is not enough, the xp number that is determined is probably a simplified version of the number that should look normal.

And to make 0.8 ,, 108.0, you need to multiply it with 135

And cast the xp to integer

[azure gate]

letrs try

not working

[kindred valley]

What is the xp

Of the player now

[azure gate]

my xp level is 900

the valuw whoch i get from player.getExp() is 0.11332158

[kindred valley]

Are you multiplying the value right?

How the fuck 0.8 * 135 is 0.1

[azure gate]

ys

its weird

i want to get user xp point in game from spigot that also i cant get

[kind hatch]

If your talking about the normal events provided by spigot, the short answer is no. If you have your own custom events, and other plugins depend on your plugin to use those events, then yes those plugins can use your events.

[kind hatch]

You might want to use Player#getTotalExperience() instead of Player#getExp() then. The latter method is to get the experience of your current level. This is what is reflected on your XP bar.

If you go with the former method, keep in mind that this method will be effected by everything that gives xp. It might also reset to 0 when players die. So unless you have systems in place to prevent this, you might run into some issues.

Actually, now that I think about this, that might not be ideal either.

If you are wanting to take xp from the player, you'll have to follow the same math that is used for normal experience.

Which varies based on what level you are.

So you're going to have to calculate their total xp based on their level and then subtract the proper amount.

When spawning an armor stand on a placed block, can I have the armor stand facing the player in the opposite direction, i.e. a full block at the player? I've been trying for a long time, I couldn't manage

[twin venture]

hi guys , iam having very stupid problem ..
as you can see , lore is not line by line .. that's mistake ..

this is the code :

i want it to be line , under line

[kind hatch]

You should be able to get the player's eye direction as a vector and multiply it by -1 to get the opposite direction.

[kind hatch]

What does the code in your super method do?

[kind hatch]

Where does that list actually get set to the itemstack?

Well, it looks like you're somehow applying it wrong. Where do you make that specific itemstack?

Can anyone say me why the Server is crashing? Is it because of the mysql query execute or what is the problem?

[kind hatch]

I'm not gonna lie. I have no idea what I'm looking at here.

[twin venture]

its the gui

class

this is the the Quest interface :

[wary topaz]

is there a way to set the motd to default? (serverpinglistener)
event.setServerIcon(default <-- here);

[twin venture]

and in abstract quest this :

[kind hatch]

Look, setting itemstack lore is as simple as this.

List<String> lore = //whatever your list is.

ItemStack item = new ItemStack();
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setLore(lore);
item.setItemMeta(meta);

[rose ibex]

Hi

the thing is there are 2 types of quests :
1- challenges
2- Quests

[wary topaz]

this is an intellij problom you might want to look it up

(he deleted his image)

[kind hatch]

That shouldn't change how the lore is applied to an itemstack.

[rose ibex]

no is the console

is not intellj in the image

[kind hatch]

ItemMeta takes care of newlines if you use the method.

[wary topaz]

...

You got to learn to read error messages

[kind hatch]

What image?

[rose ibex]

i know

[wary topaz]

delete SimplePluginManager, it is stopping the error message from continuing

than reload

[kind hatch]

What does your InventoryDesignConfigKeys.VALUE.getStringList() method do?

Cause that looks like where your issue would be.

[kind hatch]

Am I missing messages here? I don't know what both of you are talking about.

[wary topaz]

Also, that's blank.

thx

thats his image

[tardy delta]

no need to check both contains and then splitting

its looping twice

[wary topaz]

he posted a link bypassing it

[tardy delta]

just check split.length

just put the right link to your main class in your plugin.yml

[kind hatch]

Could be compiling weird. File structure looks fine, but maybe the main class got moved due to a wierd shading or smth

[kind hatch]

Your pom looks fine, but in all honestly, you don't need the plugins section. Intellij will use it's local version of maven to compile for you.
Your file structure also looks fine and if your main class extends JavaPlugin, then maybe you didn't copy the file over to the server properly. It happens sometimes. Try recompiling it and see if you still have an issue.

[wary topaz]

Wdym to the default?

[kind hatch]

Idk, maybe pass in null? That image is provided when there is no server icon found.

[kind hatch]

You might have to send packets. I think the server image is cached locally on your machine, so you'd have to make the client think that it isn't there.

[wary topaz]

how tf..?

[kind hatch]

Have you not noticed how when you launch the game and go to the multiplayer list, the server icons are still there?

The icons are cached somewhere locally.

[wary topaz]

yea

[kind hatch]

So maybe a packet can tell the client that it's no longer necessary to keep that cached icon since it's no longer on the server.

It looks like if the server-icon file is removed, it is relayed to the client somehow.

You'll probably want to look into the server ping packets as that's when the icon is updated.

@wary topaz Looks like there is a packet field you can use.

Only problem is that you'll also have to send the MOTD as well.

This is 1.19 NMS not 1.19.2

But, you can send a null icon.

[twilit roost]

Sup guys
I have made NEAT ( Machine Learning )
But I don't know how to hook it up to Minecraft Plugin.

Im creating Anti Auto Clicker.
Any clues how should I rate different clients in NEAT?

[tardy delta]

Optional 🤡

[kind hatch]

Constructor params aren't optional though. :/

[kind hatch]

Any luck or are you still having problems?

[twin venture]

anyone know a fix for this kind of problems?

iam getting the quest Lore , and set it ..

[kind hatch]

You're problem is right here. You are trying to concat a list of strings into a string variable, so the #toString() method gets called instead.

[twin venture]

alright

[rose ibex]

still have problems

[civic zenith]

can someone help me devlop a lifesteal server please

please join genral 1

[kind hatch]

Same issue or something else?

[rose ibex]

same

[twin venture]

something like this might fix it ?

or am i wrong

[kind hatch]

Have you tried removing the plugins section of your pom?

[twin venture]

nop that didnt work xd

this is the how the config looks like :

[glossy venture]

the lore is a list of strings
one string per line

if your description is already split by line just return that

[twin venture]

so for each quest i set the value for lore like this :

[civic zenith]

can someone help me devlop a lifesteal server please
please join genral 1
I pay him 8 dollars / 2 hour

[kind hatch]

$4/hr? That's less than minimum wage. No thanks. 🙂

[rose ibex]

i have resolved the problem

[civic zenith]

are u expert?

[rose ibex]

it was in the plugin.yml

[civic zenith]

how much u need ?

[glossy venture]

if the description is already split by newlines just return that
otherwise use something like

public List<String> getLore(Quest<?> quest) {
  // create output list
  List<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
  // for each line in description
  for (String ln : quest.getDescription()) {
    // split the line by \n (newline)
    // and add the lines to the output list
    lore.addAll(Arrays.asList(ln.split("\n")));
  }
  // return output lore
  return lore;
}

[kind hatch]

ItemMeta takes care of new lines so long as you provide a List<String> to the #setLore() method.

[glossy venture]

ah

[glossy venture]

wait but in his example its showing \n in the lore

[twin venture]

oh i see what i was doing wrong

thank you !

[kind hatch]

Probably doing something wrong then.

Either that or thats the output of a List<String>#toString()

[tardy delta]

please use Collections.singletonList

[onyx fjord]

is it safe to do stuff with particles async?

[glossy venture]

shouldnt matter though right

[twin venture]

its not only 1 line

its multi line ..

but iam adding it in the config

that is the default

[tardy delta]

some of them are

[kind hatch]

Well, if he is including them, he should remove them as ItemMeta takes care of it.

[tardy delta]

?sevices

[glossy venture]

i dont see that

[twin venture]

nop still

[tardy delta]

impl is terrible

safelyAdd what a bs

[glossy venture]

you are calling toString on some list and its fucking everything up

[echo basalt]

Ye

[kind hatch]

I'm certain it does though. At least that's how it's rendered in game. I don't put \n at the end of any of my messages in my lore.

[glossy venture]

no i know

[twin venture]

maybe problem from this?

[glossy venture]

i thought you meant it splits by \n

automatically

[tardy delta]

i mean wtf

[glossy venture]

can you show the code where you create the item stack

[onyx fjord]

i do have code for that tho i never used it

[quaint mantle]

hi guys, does anybody know a simple way i can create a folder inside the plugin folder and create a file inside of it ? i am running an http server in the plugin so i need a folder to put the html css and js files in, thanks :D

[onyx fjord]

Arrays.asList(STRING.split("\\\\n"))

lmao

[twin venture]

you asked for it : https://paste.md-5.net/ezucimapac.java

[tardy delta]

public void bedwars

dont laugh

[twin venture]

i added skywars support so i had to create seprate gui for skywars

xd

[glossy venture]

can you show getStringList

[kind hatch]

I think we are getting at the same thing.

List<String> lore = Arrays.asList("Line 1", "Line 2", "Line 3");

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.RED_BED);
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setLore(lore);
item.setItemMeta(meta);

That will return an item with 3 lines of lore.

[glossy venture]

yeah

[glossy venture]

bruh

give the code of the one it calls

[onyx fjord]

ij just says fuck you when i paste it

[glossy venture]

in paste

[twin venture]

welp it already have /n

i just noticed xd

i think problem from here ?

this is the lore for each quest

[onyx fjord]

its just like "im gonna do 4 slashes anyway fool"

[twin venture]

and for each quest , challenge i add the lore like this :

[glossy venture]

split uses regex idk if just \n will work as a split

its giving a warning as well

show the warning

on split("\n")

[twin venture]

where?

//n ?

[glossy venture]

the \n is yellow

[onyx fjord]

with one it probably just escapes?

[kind hatch]

You can split like that. It's valid.

[onyx fjord]

or doesnt escape sry*

[glossy venture]

oh yeah

it works in regexr

[kind hatch]

Although there is no point in splitting if you are working with a List<String> in the first place.

That codebase is a mess to read.

It took me a while to find that he was concating a string list with a string.

[glossy venture]

you might have a \n in a string

[twin venture]

😳

[kind hatch]

Sure, but in this case, we are talking itemstack lore. There isn't a point in using \n because the newlines are handled if you provide a List<String>

[glossy venture]

yes but in the config for convenience or something i dont know you might want to use \n

[twin venture]

ok so other lore works fine like this :

and iam doing same thing

[kind hatch]

Well, ideally if you are storing a list, you'd put it in list format.

# You would do this
my-list:
  - "Line 1"
  - "Line 2"
  - "Line 3"

# Not this. This is painful to write.
my-string: "Line 1 \nLine 2 \nLine3"

[hazy parrot]

Or just use yaml provided multiline

[kind hatch]

You're passing a valid list in that case.

[gleaming grove]

What is the most reliable way to store Class instance inside ItemStack? Class structure might be changed with plugin updates so serialize Object to byte[] is not an option. For now I consider serialize class to JSON or Dictionary<String, Object> and then save it with PersistentDataType.BYTE_ARRAY to itemstack. What do you think?

[kind hatch]

Multiline?

[hazy parrot]

Field: -|
  Multiline
 Things

[twin venture]

anyway , this is how iam setting lore for each quest :

[kind hatch]

Idk, I guess it just comes down to preference at that point. I hate using that format.

[onyx fjord]

bad

[hazy parrot]

?

[onyx fjord]

end user will be confused with such format

the simpler the better

[hazy parrot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[onyx fjord]

when you develop stuff configurable by end user you gotta put yourself in mind of average end user with no programming knowledge or just no yaml knowledge

wow thats my longest sentence of the day

[eternal oxide]

Good advice. If they can break it they will.

[twin venture]

so what i can do to fix it ?

[tardy delta]

average plugin dev: their problem

[twin venture]

i must remake the system on how to set the lore xd?

[onyx fjord]

and then you have 10 github issues open

[radiant aspen]

Greetings fellow humans,

Anyone know what event it is to prevent blocks from growing? such as skulk moss, trees ect

I want to avoid the blocks growing into certain areas

[tardy delta]

2. dont have github

[onyx fjord]

3. theyll jump to your discord then

[tardy delta]

3. skip forum stuff

4. dont have a support discord

[radiant aspen]

I was looking at https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockGrowEvent.html and it has a source block, but it doesnt seem to have a list of blocks that grow from the source?

[tardy delta]

5. go touch grass nerds

should talk to myself actually

[kind hatch]

I think you'll need multiple events. BlockSpreadEvent, BlockGrowEvent, etc

[onyx fjord]

*snow

[tardy delta]

imagine having snow already

[radiant aspen]

Ah, BlockSpreadEvent should handle the moss/skulk and it has a .getBlock and .getSource which is good

but BlockGrowEvent doesnt have a source block

so if a player decides to grow a tree right on the border, the trees leaves for example could go into another persons claim right?

is there another event more suitable for this that anyone knows of?

[kind hatch]

Yea, but I think that's a different event.

StructureGrowEvent

[quaint mantle]

how do i render html css and JS in an HttpServer ?

[kind hatch]

Has a convient #isFromBonemeal() method as well.

[radiant aspen]

o, thanks ill look into that

[twilit roost]

bump

[kind hatch]

You might want to also listen to the BlockFormEvent to prevent cobblestone casts and concrete mixing. However, this will also prevent snow and ice forming from snow storms. Maybe there's a check you can add for that.

[radiant aspen]

yeah, so I just got a list of claims

and then im checking if the source block and block that was grown/spread is in the same claim

Im Currently listening to BlockPistonEvent BlockSpreadEvent and StructureGrowEvent

[wet breach]

not sure why you went with machine learning to solve this. All you need is heuristics to solve a problem like auto clicking

[twin venture]

i fixed my problem :
thanks for everyone .

[radiant aspen]

And BlockFromToEvent, nearly forgot that for water/lava

I got a question around https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockFromToEvent.html

if I cancel this event

will it stop trying to move?>

or will it keep trying to move and call this event frequently?

[kind hatch]

Probably the latter since water is physics based.

However

The docs say

So maybe it won't.

[twilit roost]

never heard of that
how does that work?

[wet breach]

heuristics basically works by collecting data such as measuring your users clicks. How fast they click in a given period, how long they click and how many times. This data is then used in a way you can compare to see if they are using an auto clicker because the data from an autoclicker would be outside of this range of what is normal

and the best part is the more data your heuristics has, the more accurate it becomes 🙂

[twilit roost]

oooh tysm
but what about Auto Clicker with random offset?
will it go thru?

[kind hatch]

That'd just be another set of data.

[wet breach]

it can catch such things, basically if you have a decent enough data for your heuristics approach it is almost impossible to use an auto clicker better then a human can do it lmao

[twilit roost]

ohhh that's cool

some possibilities of false positive?

[kind hatch]

Always, no solution is perfect and there will always be exceptions, but if it can detect 99% of people, that's probably as good as it'll get.

[tardy delta]

what

love it when some cases work and others dont

[twin venture]

great i fixed something and another thing broke xd

ok now the lore dissapered

gg

rewards part just dissapered :

[remote swallow]

on replaceLore you are only returning 1 string out of that lore

[twilit roost]

I watched some videos of heuristics
but all of them are Pathfinding solutions

even website mention it as Pathfinding
https://www.tutorialandexample.com/informed-search-heuristic-search

• or I think its pathfinding

[twin venture]

but it worked .. now it dosen't work

but i lose the other values ..

other values don't show

[remote swallow]

are you using replaceLore on that lore value

[twin venture]

no only desciription lore

oh i see the problem

[remote swallow]

theres why, on anywhere you use replaceLore you will only get 1 of the strings out of that string list

[twin venture]

it only give the first line of lore

[remote swallow]

yeah

[twin venture]

how i can fix that?

xd

if i only do descirioption

if i use this , it will not work

bcz it will show side by side

i mean the lore

"this is lore " ,"";

[remote swallow]

?paste that method so its easier to read

[undone axle]

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

[twin venture]

ok

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

this?

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

[remote swallow]

the lore one if (questi.isSomething)

[twin venture]

i dont quite follow xd?

what do you mean

[remote swallow]

ive got it

[twin venture]

ok

[remote swallow]

one problem you'll have is your setting the lore to the description, then settng it to quest lore

over writing the description lore

ill write somethig for you one moment

[neat harbor]

Hi, so I don't know if this makes sense but my PlayerJoinEvent code gets called from someone leaving? It then starts calling it ALOT like, just calling it infinetely -> (https://sourceb.in/ksQKAcUdb7), it starts spamming the rejoin message from -> (https://sourceb.in/5eNWEuCuCA). The result of this is that in the console you literally cant type "stop" and you just have to end the process manually. (It just spams "'s frozen screen has been re-applied (They left)")... This can happen if they get kicked etc; If you need any more code (Like my main class). Just say!

[twin venture]

ok 1 part is fixed , other part is not ..

rewards part fixed , but the old part is broken xd

[summer scroll]

Add questLore to the description.

And set the lore just once.

[remote swallow]

List<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
if (quest.isChallenge()) {
  for (String descriptionLine: description) {
    lore.add(InventoryDesignConfigKeys.CHALLENGE_GUI_ITEM_LORE.getStringList().replace("challenge-description", ChatColor.GRAY + descriptionLine)
  }
  lore.add(InventoryDesignConfigKeys.CHALLENGE_GUI_ITEM_LORE.getStringList().replace("challenges-remaning", questUserData.getCurrentValue())

[twin venture]

what about quests xd?

there is quests , challenges

[remote swallow]

change that for the right situation

[summer scroll]

description.addAll(questLore);
questItem.setLore(description);

[twin venture]

i guess this will work , let me try

[wet breach]

heuristics is basically collecting data in what is normal

[summer scroll]

do that after you initialize the questLore

[wet breach]

so you would collect stats on, how long players click for, how many times they click in a given time and so forth. You would then use this data as a comparison in detecting an auto-clicker because an auto-clickers data would be outside of what you have that is considered normal

there isn't a specific way to collect heuristics or how to implement it. But the more data points you have the more accurate it is and the more data you collect as well

[neat harbor]

Couldn't an autoclicker "randomise" the length of time it clicks for, the amount of times it clicks and so on.

[hybrid spoke]

machine learning for what?

[wet breach]

sure, but the point of using such things is to make an auto-clicker not any more better then what a player can do, thus rendering it almost useless

[hybrid spoke]

yeah, thats why to make an anti auto clicker is hard

[civic wind]

Anyone know how to change a block that's fallen once its landed?

Tried numerous ways none work

[hybrid spoke]

there are so many scenarios and its very hard to not false positive

[wet breach]

absolutely, that is why you need a data set to work with, the more data you have the more accurate it becomes 🙂

[hybrid spoke]

especially in minecraft where you dont receive the actual clicks but only the results

[wet breach]

there is plenty of data points to use, just have to be creative is all

[hybrid spoke]

more or less. the CPS and average clicks are very individual and you cant just get a schema out of it

the only stuff where i think of could work are patterns or like the offets the crosshair does while clicking high frequently

[wet breach]

while it is individual, the more players you have to compare and collect data from, the better you can get your upper bounds

[hybrid spoke]

and the more non-high clicking players you have, the more false positives you will have

[civic wind]

.

[hybrid spoke]

and with that, in autoclicking you cant be sure whats legit or not

[wet breach]

sure, and this is why you can implement a system for manual checking or something else

[hybrid spoke]

so players could just raise your upper bounds up

[wet breach]

well there is a physical limit in what humans can do

[neat harbor]

Hi, so I don't know if this makes sense but my PlayerJoinEvent code gets called from someone leaving? It then starts calling it ALOT like, just calling it infinetely -> (https://sourceb.in/ksQKAcUdb7), it starts spamming the rejoin message from -> (https://sourceb.in/5eNWEuCuCA). The result of this is that in the console you literally cant type "stop" and you just have to end the process manually. (It just spams "'s frozen screen has been re-applied (They left)")... This can happen if they get kicked etc; If you need any more code (Like my main class). Just say!

[hybrid spoke]

really depends

saw people click 70+ cps legit

[summer scroll]

I think you need to track where the block will be landed.

[hybrid spoke]

i mean you can cut at 100

but that wont stop the most autoclickers

[twin venture]

hhhhhhhhh

ops

[civic wind]

mhmm how

[twin venture]

its readding the lore

[civic wind]

isonground checks for when it lands

not sure it matters where

[wet breach]

You can stop the majority if you use enough data points for it, not saying it is easy because it all depends on how creative you can be in determining what is or is not a data point

[hybrid spoke]

i mean yeah. you shouldnt only concentrate on the clicks itself, but on the timings between

you can do so much with that

[civic wind]

Can't lie there should be another text channel for people discussing things about development

[hybrid spoke]

just open up a thread

[wet breach]

but once you have a decent enough size of heuristics though it becomes harder and harder for an auto-clicker to hide itself

[civic wind]

Where

ty

[hybrid spoke]

but on what would you rely that heuristic

[wet breach]

because your heuristics is based on human players in what they can and can't do, and while yes you will have edge cases like some players capable of doing more, you won't have that many because most players are not capable of this

[hybrid spoke]

on the CPS? timings? averages? patterns?

[wet breach]

you would compare everything you could

if the data you are comparing starts going out of bounds then you know they most likely are either using an auto-clicker

for instance, timing is a good way to know

humans can only click so fast as well as the time between their clicks and how many

but then you could compare to what they are doing

are they moving? or are they standing still etc

[hybrid spoke]

easier said than done

[twin venture]

can you see the pic xd?

[neat harbor]

.

[hybrid spoke]

there can and will be so much going wrong

[wet breach]

certainly, but once you get it right though its a powerful tool

[hybrid spoke]

that will take time and effort

once you're done its useless

[wet breach]

as do most things lol

[summer scroll]

You are adding a string list to a string, that's why.

[wet breach]

it isn't useless, most of the best anti-cheat software out there uses heuristics to measure what is known to be impossible as well as what is not typical. You will get some false positives but when that happens its up to whoever to determine what to do in those cases

as I said, not everyone is some pro player

[twin venture]

u told me to xd

[summer scroll]

No, see your code block in quest.isChallenge, you do + description, and description is a string list.

[twin venture]

alr i see now

so i need to add them only 1 time

[wet breach]

@hybrid spoke I don't know how to explain it any better. Heuristics isn't something to be perfect.

[hybrid spoke]

yeah, but in an anti autoclicker, especially in minecraft, thats very risky. also the reason why no anti cheat has further auto clicker checks

[hybrid spoke]

you cant really. i get what you mean, also already thought about that, but it isnt as possible as you said

there would be so much things to check for and keep care of

[wet breach]

well from what you can do from just the server is limited, ideally you would want to go the route of packet inspection first, and then divert it to some other system if you can't tell from the packets.

[hybrid spoke]

yeah, thats more or less what my anti auto clicker is doing for example

but in that case the best i could come up with is to let the plugin do some analytics and suggest the owners a change of the config values

[wet breach]

unfortunately in the realms of anti-cheat stuff or the related you can't really do a whole lot in regards to edge cases except either flag them or ignore them as edge cases. The best you could do is instead of relying on a dynamic boundary is to artificially create a hard set one

[hybrid spoke]

yeah thats what i have, given to the server owners

and settings to adjust each check

[wet breach]

personally I am not against auto-clickers in themselves though, I have combated them but for me it wasn't all that hard because I only cared in where they were used

[hybrid spoke]

to use an auto clicker right is also a skill lol

[wet breach]

I didn't care if people used an auto-clicker for some farm stuff

[hybrid spoke]

you can perma click and be defeated by one-clickers

[wet breach]

but if they used it in combat and the related though it was easy to pick up

[hybrid spoke]

but its annoying in like bedwars or stuff

when they just godbridge above the whole map

[wet breach]

lol

[hybrid spoke]

thats what i miss nowadays

the noobibridging without letting go of shift

[wet breach]

the only other decent systems in regards to this would be to simulate the actions of the players on another server where you can watch it

as in rewind or go forward etc

[quasi sundial]

If I want to place like a schematic/specific prebuilt structure, how would I do that?

[hybrid spoke]

so basically a replay system

[wet breach]

and then see if what they were doing was even realistically possible

[wet breach]

basically

[hybrid spoke]

but to connect that with an anti auto clicker can be memory heavy

since that will just save every little flag lol

[wet breach]

oh definitely

someone here can't remember who made a decent replay system

[hybrid spoke]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/advancedreplay-1-8-1-19.52849/ could be it

only heard good about it

[wet breach]

that wasn't it

the person is a long time member of spigot, just can't remember which it was

as they haven't really talked here in a while

basically it would save all the packets, and then on another server replay those packets

and then you could watch the player or players to see what they were doing and at what time

in this manner you were free to look at everything in any view you wanted

[hybrid spoke]

this does the same as it seems

[wet breach]

except it uses protocollib

[hybrid spoke]

but i imagine that to be cool

imagine you pause the replay and a bunch of stats appear next to every player

with their recent cps

patterns

averages

etc.

[wet breach]

this is exactly what that system did

only you didn't need to stop anything, it was just displaying the information you wanted displayed

or that it could

but it was handy though to stop the action

and the only resource intensive thing was just the replay server, saving the packets overall wasn't all that space consuming

it was cool nonetheless, at some point I will check out that plugin but that isn't the one I was referring to but maybe it can become just as cool too? lol

[hybrid spoke]

if you can hook into it and inject your own stats that would be cool for my AAC

feel free to ping me once you found it

[twin venture]

finally fixed all errors .. 🙂

[vocal cloud]

Bed Wasrs experience and title has 2 quests in it

[wet breach]

nice

[vocal cloud]

Other than that 10/10

[twin venture]

yes i see

[wet breach]

not sure if it exists on spigotmc as a plugin you could download lmao

[twin venture]

its configurable from a config file so i can easly delete the second Quest ..

[wet breach]

however maybe I could re-create such a system though

[neat harbor]

Hi, so I don't know if this makes sense but my PlayerJoinEvent code gets called from someone leaving? It then starts calling it ALOT like, just calling it infinetely -> (https://sourceb.in/ksQKAcUdb7), it starts spamming the rejoin message from -> (https://sourceb.in/5eNWEuCuCA). The result of this is that in the console you literally cant type "stop" and you just have to end the process manually. (It just spams "'s frozen screen has been re-applied (They left)")... This can happen if they get kicked etc; If you need any more code (Like my main class). Just say!

All the code is also on my GitHub (pretty much) https://GitHub.com/chopkeys/FreezeGUI-legacy (Check active development branch)

[wet breach]

so....

why is it you don't listen for players leaving?

[neat harbor]

Because I listen for them to join to the re-open a window on them

The issue isn’t them leaving it’s the fact that when they leave for some reason it spam calls the PlayerJoinEvent

[wet breach]

because you have a task running in there, but you never listen for them leaving....

thus you never remove them from some lists

[neat harbor]

Their UUID needs to remain on the only hash map they are needed on so I can check if they should have a window on them

I have (off the top of my head) no other lists

[wet breach]

you still need to listen for them leaving or should....

onPlayerQuit(playerquitevent event) {
//do some cleanup
}

[neat harbor]

Hmmm, ok.

[wet breach]

if a player quits with an inventory opened

the server never gets a packet that they closed an iventory

[neat harbor]

Ah

Oh ok that makes sense

[wet breach]

so the logic for your quitevent listener

is to instead count that as also closing the inventory

and clear them out of any lists that are necessary lol

[neat harbor]

Erm

[wet breach]

just remember when the player leaves, player object becomes stale

[neat harbor]

So the window is opened to stop them from destroying a ghost client etc so it needs to be re-opened when they shut it

So I have a hash map so that I store the UUID with a Boolean attached

That Boolean is whether they should have a window open

[wet breach]

alright, well when they leave probably shouldn't be trying to re-open windows on non-existent players lol

[neat harbor]

Yeah that’s what I think

[summer scroll]

Use a Set please.

Set<UUID>

Map<UUID, Boolean> --> big no no

[civic wind]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[glossy venture]

a hash set uses a hash map under the hood

[wet breach]

also, you you have to iterate a set as opposed to just a hashmap

also, hashmap is a key value pair, which their above usage of such is valid, and a set doesn't have this assoication

[worldly ingot]

Nah, Set is far superior here because #contains()

There are almost zero situations where you should be using a Map<Object, Boolean>

Unless you want nullable booleans, in which case you need to rethink your design

[tardy delta]

there wouldnt be a way to distinguish between null and a nullable boolean then

[wet breach]

you could use contains if they are in the set, but you would need to iterate to get who is in the set. If I was to recommend on the basis of optimizing, I would go with a player wrapper and have the boolean on the custom player object itself

but really these are all just micro-optimizations at best. What they are doing I am sure they wouldn't really notice a difference

[naive bolt]

can i register a command at the highest level? so it overrides any other plugins?

[wet breach]

helps if you also explain what exactly you are trying to accomplish

if you are needing to override plugins there is other methods to do so that doesn't require registering commands at the highest level

[naive bolt]

just wondered that event listeners you can set priorities. wondered if commands were same

[wet breach]

no they are not, basically its on a first come first serve basis in regards to command registration

so whoever registers it first

but you have other ways though to handle duplicate commands stuff

you can for instance allow aliasing your commands

if you don't care how it will affect other plugins, you could unregister other plugins commands and register your own don't really recommend this lol

another option is to ensure your plugin loads first so you could register the command first

but personally allowing your commands to easily be aliased without resorting to the bukkit alias commands would probably be a far better approach as you could allow it to be customizable

[haughty idol]

so when i use PlayerInteractEvent, and click at a block, it registers both actions, LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK and LEFT_CLICK_AIR

[remote swallow]

?interactevent

[undone axle]

The PlayerInteractEvent may be called once per hand. If you only want code to be executed once, you can check the result of https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getHand(), then decide functionality.

For example, only executing code if the main hand was used:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) { // * if the hand used is NOT the main hand:
        return; // do not progress past this point  |
    }
    // provide functionality
}

[haughty idol]

tysm :D

[haughty idol]

uh, now it doesn't work in adventure mode

    @EventHandler
    public void playerMouseInput(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Action action = event.getAction();
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        PlayerStats playerStats = PlayerStats.getStats(player);

        if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) {
            return;
        }

        if (playerStats.spellTriggers.spellMode) {
            playerStats.spellTriggers.continueNormalSpell(action);
            return;
        }

        if (action.equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) || action.equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)) {
            playerStats.spellTriggers.enterSpellMode();
        }
    }

this is my code

[remote swallow]

== on enum values

[haughty idol]

?

where's the static asbuse morice?

[tardy delta]

whats this PlayerStats.getStats(player);

[haughty idol]

getting the player stats saved in config

that isn't static?

what?

for each player a SpellTriggers class is created

what should i do here?

[gleaming grove]

does spigot create new CraftPlayer objects everytime certain player joins?

i mean it is safe to make HashMap<Player, Object>()>

?

[river oracle]

don't save players to hashmap (good way to cause a memory leak)

[wet breach]

player objects are only created once when they join, it gets recreated if they left and then came back

[river oracle]

use UUID

[wet breach]

in other words, your player object will become stale when they leave

[gleaming grove]

ok thanks

[ionic dagger]

can someone explain why i am not getting the "killed by zombie villager!!!!" message when i am killed by a zombie villager

[remote swallow]

if thats the death event the killer will only be player iirc

[ionic dagger]

Wdym?

[remote swallow]

are you using the PlayerDeathEvent

[ionic dagger]

Killer only returns player?

Yes

[remote swallow]

the killer can only be player from what i remember

[ionic dagger]

I see

What about the first if?

The .getType().equals

[remote swallow]

your still checking if the event killer is something which isnt a player

[ionic dagger]

O ya

How should I check that then?

[remote swallow]

entitydamagebyentityevent and check if the health is 0

then you can get the cause

and killer

[ionic dagger]

Wouldn’t I have the same issue w checking if a skeletons killed the player?

Or would the projectile trigger the byentityevent aswell

[remote swallow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageByEntityEvent.html

idk about projectiles
