What is a good way to detect when I player has a piece of armor with an enchant on it for applying and removing potion effects?

[dry yacht]

Just an array I once used to calculate the length of text lines in books in order to wrap them manually. I forgot why I needed that, xD. I think this data came from the minecraft fandom website.

[quaint tapir]

I want to create a plugin where when a player dies about 20 bones explode outwards from where they died
but I want to bones to despawn after 1 second and not be able to be picked up by player
how do I make items fly basically

[dry yacht]

I don't think that there's an armor equip event. Somebody once asked about this already, so it might be worth investigating and making a minimal public library, which accumulates all cases of (un-)equipping armor.

[quaint tapir]

how can I spawn an item on the ground

[kind hatch]

Use alex's ArmorEquipEvent class.
https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/ArmorEquipEvent

[dry yacht]

Item itemEntity = location.getWorld().dropItem(location, item);
itemEntity.setVelocity(...);

Then you just need to calculate random velocities by picking random points in a sphere of radius 1 around the point of death and creating a vector through subtracting that point (end) from the death point (beginning). You can multiply each of those with a random double in a range to make it look more organic.

[dry yacht]

Somebody forgot a sneaky little debug print in there, xDD

[dry yacht]

If only I'd know how to play, xD. But I wouldn't recommend rendering that in chat, as it'll probably be spammed away by other players. Either holograms or maps would be an even better fit.

[graceful oak]

Thank you

[native gale]

3 black backticks work

Thank you

Would you mind to share this array though? I want to do some experiments on it

I have an idea to emulate alpha channel using these characters

[dry yacht]

Sure thing, here you go: https://paste.md-5.net/ofuyumefaj.java

[dry yacht]

Great! It's sadly not full transparency, but at least like 80%, xD

[native gale]

Very thank you. If I ever make something useful out of it (it's unlikely but anyways), I'll credit you

[dry yacht]

No worries, I'm happy to help! :).

I found it again, damn, that's so inspiring, :D. Such a great idea, using raytracing and fake block updates to simulate this effect. I'm just pretty sure that it can be pretty expensive, both for the client and the server.

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, it's based on SethBling's POC done with command blocks

[inland siren]

anyone have a significant amount of experience w plib

[echo basalt]

plib is easy

[inland siren]

gotta find the function im tryna reference

didnt expect an answer soq uick lmao

can i get away with just spawning an entity and giving it the base meta from WrappedDataWatcher#fakeEntity

am tryna make entities solely packet manipulatable and tick on the netty thread

but they keep spawning invisible >:(

[echo basalt]

So basically

You don't really need much to spawn packet-based entities

You just need to send a SPAWN_LIVING_ENTITY packet

and the entity should appear

You can create metadata packets with that WrappedDataWatcher entity, and send them under your packet entity's entityId

[inland siren]

aware, spawn entity packet is spawning it in invisible for no reason at all

[echo basalt]

ah that

Show code

[inland siren]

bout to say fuck it and just move to a diff version to test it

[echo basalt]

Pretty sure I know why

[inland siren]

1.8 version that i had to regress to test just for fun

was also happening on 1.18

sidenote why do spawn packets on 1.8 just have int fields

not even rotation is a double / float ??

WrappedSpawnEntityPacket packet = new WrappedSpawnEntityPacket();
        packet.setEntityId(this.id = PacketServer.handleEntityId());
        debug("handle packetid " + packet.getEntityId());
        packet.setType(type.get().getId());
        packet.setX((int) location.get().getX());
        packet.setY((int) location.get().getY());
        packet.setZ((int) location.get().getZ());
        packet.setYaw((int) location.get().getYaw());
        packet.setPitch((int) location.get().getPitch());
        packet.setData(data);
        packet.setDx((int) velocity.get().getX());
        packet.setDy((int) velocity.get().getY());
        packet.setDz((int) velocity.get().getZ());
        return packet;

packet gen

just being sent to a list of players i've confirmed i'm on

[echo basalt]

Okay so here's the thing

I'd advise against packet wrappers as they're auto-generated

ProtocolLib wraps the fields on the NMS packet class

Not what's written to the buffer, which is what wiki.vg shows

[rare rover]

How would i detect a packet entity click? ( using for my hologram system ). I can't figure it out

Since the entities are packets

[echo basalt]

Client sends packets

With protocollib, you register a packet listener

with nms you register a listener on the netty thread

[rare rover]

I dont use Protocollib

Okay

Ty

Which packet would that be exactly?

If you dont mind

[inland siren]

iirc holographicdisplays checks for arm animations and ray traces to the holo

[echo basalt]

The client sends a packet usually containing the entity id hit

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/all-you-need-to-know-about-nms.582651/ - If you want to learn about how to listen / send packets, both NMS & Protocollib

[rare rover]

I made my own system

[inland siren]

yes, aware

was an example of what you could do

[rare rover]

Ty

[rare rover]

Ahh, okay ty

[inland siren]

iirc client won't process a hit on an invis entitystand

unless i'm off my ass

[echo basalt]

it does

[inland siren]

i just wrap everything in holographicdisplays im lazy

oh actually

wild

[echo basalt]

ever noticed how you can't place blocks if you have an invisible entity at that location?

try it with an invis armorstand

[rare rover]

I delete the packet entity whenever i hide the hologram

Because i thought that was the best way without any issues

[graceful oak]

Ive been trying to figure out how to get custom enchants to work for a little would it be a bad idea to give my items PersistantData with the key being the enchant name and value being the tier then just adding a lore to it? Is there a better way to do this or should this work fine?

[echo basalt]

uhh

Probably a wrapper class that converts Legible Data <-> PDC

Honestly your idea isn't really that scalable?

I'd just store a whole tag containing all the data, and a data version for the tag

NBT data would look like

<enchantment-data>:
\-> data-version: 1
\-> enchant-type: SOMETHING
\-> enchant-tier: 123

you might end up adding data in the future, hence the data version

You'd make a converter that just

public CompoundTag process(CompoundTag original) {
  ...
}

and do a for loop that converts old data into new data

I might just be overengineering

[graceful oak]

ngl im kinda lost I do have some code I was following from a tutorial that just didnt work. Not really sure where it went wrong no errors and I threw some debug messages and it seems to be going through everything my only guess is that what I did is outdated would you mind taking a look?

[echo basalt]

ehh tutorials

[graceful oak]

Its more to just play around with it has me make an Enchantment Wrapper extending the Enchantment class and creating them through that

[inland siren]

crying i just tested the base wrapper outside of that code

it don't work at all

now i gotta make separate nms impl's for every version this is gonna be used on

packetwrapper 😭

[echo basalt]

Nah

writeSafely is king

The problem you're having

is that you're setting the entitytype as an id int

just set it as the bukkit object through the wrapper and it'll do its thing

wrapper.getHandle().getEntityTypes().writeSafely(0, EntityType.ZOMBIE) for example

[graceful oak]

If you have time this is what I have
https://pastebin.com/TbH3df9h
https://pastebin.com/rhZZNKD8

and im running the register onStart

[echo basalt]

oh god you're not following package naming conventions

[inland siren]

nor naming conventions

mfw i didn't know writesafely was even a thing

i'll screw with that in a bit ty 😄

[echo basalt]

readSafely is a thing too

[graceful oak]

Is there a guide of what to follow or something

[inland siren]

bout to rewrite every wrapper i have lolol

[regal carbon]

hey, is there a way to stop the end portal particles from showing up? the end result should look something like the second picture, but im not sure where to start for this

[rough ibex]

I don't think that's something the server can control.

Those particles are client-side for that block

[echo basalt]

CONSTANTS_ARE_NAMED_LIKE_THIS
ClassesAreNamedLikeThis
packages.are.named.like.this (reversed.actually.is.it)
methodsAndVariablesAreNamedLikeThis

Packages are named as a reverse domain, so google.com -> com.google.someproject
If you do not have a domain, feel free to use me.whatever.someproject or com.github.whatever.someproject

[rough ibex]

To get rid of them you'd either need a core fragment shader that discards particles of that color

or retexture that particle to an 8x8 nothing

[regal carbon]

so something like a resource pack to disable it?

[rough ibex]

Yes.

[regal carbon]

alright cool, thanks

[graceful oak]

That is helpfull ill be sure to try and use this in the future

[echo basalt]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

Here's the more official guide

[dry yacht]

How did you take the second picture, if it's not easily hidden? :-:

[regal carbon]

for some reason f5 will set the angle to hide the smoke

[echo basalt]

by turning particles off ??

[rough ibex]

It might

[dry yacht]

I wonder what the convention on underscores in package names is. Should only be a concern on the name of the software, but anyways: there are not many sources on this.

[rough ibex]

new MC rendering is weird. Particles behind glass are invis

and in water

so, it very well may be like that

[graceful oak]

So after creating an enchant using the Enchantment class and I register it is there something else that needs to be done because I did both and its still not in my game.

[dry yacht]

I'd love to check if the server sends particle packets and thus prove if the particles are rendered client-side, but I'm too stupid to get a portal up, lol

[lethal coral]

so I'm, listening to a blockplaceevent and I want to get the item in their hand

[remote swallow]

get the player then Player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand()

[lethal coral]

however when the player places the item successfully and only has one item in their hand, BlockPlaceEvent#getItemInHand() returns an itemstack of air, not the itemstack of what they placed

[remote swallow]

get the block they placed

get the block and get type, if you need more you might need player interact event

[lethal coral]

that'll return the block not the itemstack which contains the nbt that's in the item

[lethal coral]

thought I tried this and it didn't work but I'll give it another go

hmm it works now

I'm not complaining 🤷‍♂️

[graceful oak]

I followed a tutorial about adding custom enchants and when I print out a list of the enchants in game my enchant shows up but I cant use it in /enchant or apply it with my plugin in the itemstack any ideas as to why?

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code. In order to help, helpers are going to have to see what the code is. (source: http://idownvotedbecau.se/nocode/).
Please share your code! If it's short, wrap it directly into Discord. If it's long, use a third-party service (e.g. ?paste).

Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

How can I know how to correctly hook into a plugin dependency if they don't have a API usage page but I have the public repo with the API

https://github.com/Crazy-Crew/CrazyEnvoys

I have it added as a dependency already but I assume I need something to initialize because the events are not getting triggered

[remote swallow]

it should initalize themselves because its a plugin, so you probably want to join there discord and ask

[regal scaffold]

Here we go again xd

Does EntityInteractEvent not fire when a player does it?

i think you want PlayerInteractEntityEvent

[heavy perch]

Non-Spigot-Related question

Circulating around Lombok

How do I define String array varargs via lombok @AllArgsConstructor or @RequiredArgsConstructor?

Anyone knows?

[quaint mantle]

no but you can have @Builder and @Singular

[heavy perch]

Yeah I know that, already surfed around StackOverFlow and Lombok's github

they won't implement anything with it due to older java support

[quaint mantle]

i mean why not just have a varargs constructor that calls the lombok one

[heavy perch]

I hate constructors lol

ugly ahh thing

and I am using an enum so it saves time

[quaint mantle]

@Getter
@RequiredArgsConstructor
class Person {
    private final String name;
    private final Identity[] identities;

    public Person(String name, Identity... identities) {
        this(name, identities)
    }
}

looks pretty sexy to me

[heavy perch]

No reason for the @RequiredArgsConstructor then

ohhh

I see what you did there

still uglyasf

[quaint mantle]

🙂

[heavy perch]

take it on a note

[quaint mantle]

😦

[heavy perch]

any constructor related stuff makes me sick

personal preference

[fierce whale]

How can I make custom mob? I just wanna make custom vehicle (riding system)

[heavy perch]

Custom resource pack + custom model mob implementing some NMS code

[fierce whale]

Is there any tutorial for nms?

[heavy perch]

don't hate on me 😭

[fierce whale]

It was so hard 😦

[heavy perch]

no.

Side coded API that he himself created for our network

took him about a month to manage the exceptions though.

[fierce whale]

he is so genius lol

[heavy perch]

I personally think he is

for a 15 yo

@quaint mantle ugly ahh code istg

[mortal hare]

API > NMS

although if you're looking for performance and advanced customizability NMS > API

My principle is that the less code i need to manage, the better, so I prefer to use API whenever I can

[regal scaffold]

Imagine

I just ran into a plugin

That I made a addon for. As a dependency. And in the version I tested (latest) the plugin name is "ThisPlugin"

But in the version the client used. the name is "ThisPluginS"

What kind of dev changes the plugin name randomly in the plugin.yml of their plugin. What an idiot

[mortal hare]

😄

Yea, if you release stuff with that name, leave it that way wtf

[regal scaffold]

Bro he just added an S to the end. That's it

[mortal hare]

unless you want a separate branch

with different codebase

[mortal hare]

i feel you

i would be annoyed too

[heavy perch]

TL;DR

I've seen this countless of times

ppl are weird bruh

[heavy perch]

Agreed

API requires 1/4 of the actual code

I am most fund of the way entities are able to be hidden from players now.

[mortal hare]

is a static boolean field?

or is it an instance field

lemme remind you that if you set the game active like this

boolean gameActive = plugin.gameActive;
gameActive = true;

this wont work

why? because boolean is primitive type and its not passed by reference like non primitive objects

its passed by value

so you're essentially setting gameActive local variable as true

If you used Boolean instead of primitive this would work, but its not recommended for such a simple case. doing plugin.gameActive = true would work tho

[rough drift]

If I put a plugin in the plugins/update folder, will it check for plugin name or file name

[chrome beacon]

Plugin I believe

But do test it

[quaint mantle]

I need to loop through this list adding each value which is gotten from user input to sql table, my issue is the first paramIndex is an id i generate. So I need to to start from param 2 but I need the first index of the list... I tried a nested loop but didn't seem to work

[rough drift]

nope

file name

[chrome beacon]

Ouch

[rough drift]

that's a big issue

I might make a PR

or not

I am too lazy to do it

[eternal night]

[chrome beacon]

Same

[rough drift]

also that checkUpdate has a couple issues

updateDirectory == null || updateDirectory.isFile() is a better way to check (it does some extra useful checks such as existance check and dir check)

updateFile.delete() should be replaced with like

try {
  Files.delete(updateFile);
} catch(IOException e) {
  // Log the exception, it has better error messages
}

and should use plugin descriptions

[rough drift]

Error messages from Files.delete

Well

I am making a pr

[eternal night]

[rough drift]

Oh god

this is actually insanity

you need to iterate over every loader that matches the file

[rough drift]

Welp

[eternal night]

[rough drift]

I don't really know how to get the plugin folder

[eternal night]

Why do you even iterate over the plugins dir the fuck

[rough drift]

Well I had no other idea how to find a matching plugin

since it runs before loading it

[eternal night]

Well you get a file that is a plugin

It has a plugin yml

[mortal hare]

check outputJar task. im not sure how to do it though

[eternal night]

You also get a update directory

Hi, I'm using Jeff-Media ArmorEquipEvent but when I use the Number key to move armors the event only fires for the first armor piece i take off, its like the other ones become like a ghost and then i need to move them again to make the event fire, has anyone ever had this problem or someone knows how to fix this?

[regal scaffold]

Gradle is so meh

[eternal night]

Which has a bunch of files that may or may not be plugins

[regal scaffold]

They have a support discord for their lib

[midnight shore]

oh really?

I hath found the solution to my problem

[regal scaffold]

Yes

[midnight shore]

i didn't knew

[rough drift]

@eternal night

File pluginDirectory = file.getParentFile();
File updateDirectory = new File(pluginDirectory, Bukkit.getUpdateFolder());

And iterate over the update dir to find matching?

Note I still do not know how to get the plugin dir

since I am editing checkUpdate I don't have enough ctx

[quaint mantle]

Anyone got ideas on how I can do it?

[eternal night]

don't you literally get the update folder

like passed

in the existing code

[rough drift]

no

[eternal night]

its literally a field what do you mean

[rough drift]

inside loadPlugins maybe

Ah

I am dum

lmao

    public static void displayRenderedImage(Map<double[], Color> render, Location location, int quality, int speed, float size) {
        World world = location.getWorld();
        for (Map.Entry<double[], Color> pixel : render.entrySet()) {
            Particle.DustOptions data = new Particle.DustOptions(pixel.getValue(), size);
            double[] pixelLoc = pixel.getKey();

            Location loc = new Location(world, location.getX() - pixelLoc[0], location.getY() - pixelLoc[1], location.getZ());
            world.spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, loc, quality, 0, 0, 0, speed, data);
        }

the code to load it is

displayRenderedImage(plugin, image.get(), () -> player.getEyeLocation().add(player.getLocation().getDirection()), 1, period,1,0,0.8f);

Loops and MySQL

[molten hearth]

hmm

chatgpt recommended me to use ```java
Arrays.stream(StatTag.class.getDeclaredFields())
.filter(field -> field.getType() == Tag.class && Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers()))
.map(field -> {
try {
return (Tag<Integer>) field.get(null);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
})
.forEach(tag -> System.out.println(tag.getName()));

is there not a cleaner way to loop over ```java
public class StatTag {
public static final Tag<Integer> HEALTH = Tag.Integer("health");
public static final Tag<Integer> DEFENSE = Tag.Integer("defense");
public static final Tag<Integer> STRENGTH = Tag.Integer("strength");
// ... you get the jist
}

Like surely the filter means that it should not add the arrow - but it for some reason still has it?

[safe ibex]

?

[rough drift]

filter only adds things that match

[safe ibex]

Is that not what I'm doing already?

[rough drift]

I guess

also

[undone axle]

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

[safe ibex]

?

I've seen that

And I'm also using the com.jeff_media.morepersistentdatatypes.DataType library to store item stacks

But for some odd reason, the arrow is still in the PDC data after it was clicked?

@rough drift Is there like an on take out of inventory event or something?

[rough drift]

InventoryClickEvent is the only thing

[safe ibex]

That I can listen to and then make sure items aren't duped by not being removed from the PDC?

Hmm

Because the other issue I have is when I have a command to view the items in that world item storage PDC thing - I can take shit out but ofc it doesn't remove it from the PDC also

So I was wondering how I'd attempt to do that 🤔

[cinder spindle]

Hey

[tardy delta]

what are you doing

[late sonnet]

what are you try to build?

[quiet ice]

Do mvn package instead of plain mvn

[safe ibex]

Would anyone know why in this code block, there is still one item left over even when I take all of the items out of the custom inventory?

else if (event.clickedInventory == TestPluginWMaven.OtherGuiMap[playerUUID]) {
            val inventoryGUIItems = event.clickedInventory!!.contents.filterNotNull()

            val key = NamespacedKey(parentPlugin, "itemsForDonation")
            val pdc = Bukkit.getWorlds()[0].persistentDataContainer
            val itemsInDonationPDC = pdc.get(key, DataType.ITEM_STACK_ARRAY)

            if (itemsInDonationPDC != null) {
                // Compare inventory items to PDC data
                val itemsInPDCNotNull = itemsInDonationPDC.filterNotNull()

                if (inventoryGUIItems.any { it in itemsInPDCNotNull }) {
                    println("Fixing inequality!")
                    pdc.set(key, DataType.ITEM_STACK_ARRAY, inventoryGUIItems.toTypedArray())
                    println("New inventory length: " + pdc.get(key, DataType.ITEM_STACK_ARRAY)!!.filterNotNull().size)
                }
            }
        }

Because when I take out both of the items I have put in previously, it still says "New inventory length: 1".

And I am doing this code by the way in the InventoryClickListener.

It is basically removing every item but one?

[thorn crypt]

Yo I got a problem, in a project I was able to use PDC but on a new one I can't, when I do player.getPersistentDataContainer(), it say that getPersistentDataContainer doesn't exist

[hazy parrot]

show from where you get player variable

and what spigot version are you using

[thorn crypt]

Version 1.14

[safe ibex]

Don't you have to get their meta or something first?

[remote swallow]

iirc pdc was 1.14.4

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[remote swallow]

also its not an int

[thorn crypt]

Oh 1.14.4 that's why

[safe ibex]

Would any of you know why my code is not indeed removing the items that have been taken out of the custom inventory out of a PDC array?
Here's my paste: https://paste.helpch.at/dayelezozu.kotlin

[thorn crypt]

ikr I just wanna do something like an old project that look like that

[safe ibex]

@hazy parrot would you know?

[tardy delta]

me wondering what all those bools mean

[quiet ice]

the better question is why they aren't a bitset

[tardy delta]

heehee i was thinking about that too

[thorn crypt]

Does anyone know why when I'm adding Vault on my pom.xml, I can't use PDC (Spigot 1.16.5)

[ivory sleet]

vault might be adding a transitive dependency

[thorn crypt]

Uh

[eternal oxide]

move Vault down below Spigot in your dependency list in your pom

vault adds 1.14

[quiet ice]

I wish maven had something similar to compileOnly and implementation

[safe ibex]

Would anyone know why with my code, after clicking on an item and moving it from the custom inventory to my new inventory - why the item still after being removed is kept in the array stored in the PDC?

I'm really lost for ideas

[ivory sleet]

it does?

isnt it just compile and provided?

[safe ibex]

Conclure, would you know?

[ivory sleet]

cuz provided adds to compileClasspath, and compile adds to both compileClasspath and runtimeClasspath

[tardy delta]

you never remove it?

[ivory sleet]

maybe transitivity is a bit different tho

[safe ibex]

What do you mean?

[tardy delta]

i dont understand kotlin man

[safe ibex]

Wait hold on

[tardy delta]

you never modify that array?

[safe ibex]

Oh for fuck sake I might not be 💀

And I didn't notice

[quaint mantle]

What's a good way of allowing multiple databases and letting the user pick which one. (Java not spigot :))

[ivory sleet]

@safe ibex contents returns a copy

[ivory sleet]

polymorphism I'd say

[safe ibex]

Where the problem at?

[ivory sleet]

and then you might wanna switch on some string input that decides which implementation to use

[ivory sleet]

no in general Inventory.contents returns a copy

[quaint mantle]

Yeah thought of using a switch, got an example of anyone doing this with polymorphism at all? if not thats cool

[safe ibex]

Yes I know. My logic is supposed to check if anything after an interaction in the custom inventory is clicked/picked up/moved out of the "inventory", it should then update the world PDC array with the items in so that it doesn't have that item in any longer.

Like a chest emulation, basically

[ivory sleet]

ah I c

[safe ibex]

So my code should be working, but it's not removing properly

Like if I have 8 items and remove one, it'll still have all of the items in the PDC still, even after removing

[smoky oak]

fuck does a !! in java do

[ivory sleet]

asserts non null

[safe ibex]

Kotlin not null assertion

[ivory sleet]

and its kotlin

[safe ibex]

Yeah

[ivory sleet]

basically it allows for NPE in worst case

[safe ibex]

Like look:

[ivory sleet]

cookernetes idk

[safe ibex]

I removed an item, but in the PDC it is still there

[ivory sleet]

might be an issue with DataType.ITEMSTACKarray

thingy

[ivory sleet]

ye sure

[safe ibex]

Oh? That's the one provided by "jeff_media"

[ivory sleet]

not sure

[safe ibex]

Which is recommended?

?morepdc

[undone axle]

You can create custom persistent data types on your own, or use one of the many libraries available which have implemented those which match your needs. Learn about more persistent data types here: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types-collections-maps-and-arrays-for-pdc.520677/

[smoky oak]

question. Why dont you just make a extends inventoryholder class, and check on inventorycloseevent if the inventoryholder is of that class

[safe ibex]

by that

[ivory sleet]

idk, I implement my own types

cuz I dont trust that lib

[safe ibex]

You don't?

Are you saying it could be an issue with the lib, or does my code just look dodgy?

Because in theory my code should be fine

[ivory sleet]

no it could be the lib

but also ur code

cuz Idr if contents returns Array<out CraftItemStack> or Array<out ItemStack>

[safe ibex]

This is contents

[ivory sleet]

let me look that uo

[safe ibex]

If that helps

[ivory sleet]

CraftItemStack is an ItemStack derivative

[safe ibex]

?

I'm not using a CraftItemStack anywhere though, am I?

[smoky oak]

maybe he means that bukkit itemstack is a nms itemstack wrapper

[safe ibex]

🤔

You lost me, kind of

[smoky oak]

bukkit is an api to make mojang code easier to interact with

[quaint mantle]

Thanks

[smoky oak]

instead of every single plugin only bukkit has to be updated in lots of cases

[safe ibex]

Yeah, I know

[ivory sleet]

ah nvm it doesnt cookernetes

[safe ibex]

Oh?

So what should I do then do you think, Conclure?

[ivory sleet]

maybe try for testing sake

and use one of the standard ones

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataType.html for instance any of those

if it still does not work, then its probably ur code

[safe ibex]

How can I use a standard one for an item stack???

[ivory sleet]

there's no standard one

but try another type

[safe ibex]

Are there other libs I can try?

@tender shard Do you know if this is a your lib issue or my code issue?

[quaint mantle]

Are you able to show me the example 🙂

[tardy delta]

heehee

[ivory sleet]

stop

im writing :C

[undone yarrow]

Is it possible to have a plugin that lets you change the colour of an object? For example, you get a custom item called a canvas (just a white block), then the plugin lets you choose a specific colour which automatically gets the texture and changes its hue?

Or would you just need a lot of different model textures with pre-applied different colours?

[tardy delta]

just give them another color block 💀

[undone yarrow]

?

[tardy delta]

white wool -> black wool

[undone yarrow]

yeah but the canvas was just an example

[native gale]

I guess it's possible with resource packs

[undone yarrow]

It's a more detailed model Im using, such as a vehicle

[undone yarrow]

Yeah that's what I mean. So a plugin in combination with a resource pack, without having 100 textures in the resource pack. So the player can use the plugin to change the hue of the texture to anything they want

Probably just easier to have multiple pre-applied colours

[safe ibex]

Ok actually, I don't know what I did with my code @ivory sleet but now when I remove an item from the inventory - it removes all of the items, not just the one I took out of the custom inventory, from the PDC 🤔

[ivory sleet]

@quaint mantle

just an example but ye

and if u wanna do it more dynamically, use a hashmap instead of a switch

[mortal hare]

does any of you know how does cpp templates work

i have a bitset

std::bitset<N>::reference

and i want to make a template

with N as a std::size_t

[safe ibex]

?

this server is for java/kotlin - specifically for spigot dev

I'd say go to the programmers hangout?

[ivory sleet]

na

[safe ibex]

Oh?

[ivory sleet]

any programming stuff is fine here

[safe ibex]

oh ok

[hazy parrot]

its same as generic in java, just have template <typename T> T before your function

[ivory sleet]

but like, its likely people wont know a pertinent answer yk

[safe ibex]

would anyone know why this is happening

[safe ibex]

yh

[mortal hare]

but using func like:

template <std::size_t N>
void Bar<N>::foo(std::bitset<N>::reference ref) {}

errors out

[ivory sleet]

what exactly r u trying to do now again

?

[mortal hare]

it cannot retrieve reference class

from a templated class

[safe ibex]

chest emulation with pdc

(in a nutshell)

[hazy parrot]

why would you use template if you already have type ?

[undone yarrow]

For simple things such as custom foods and custom recipes, what's better: datapacks or plugins?

[mortal hare]

i want to have literal integers

[hazy parrot]

you already know its gonna be size_t

[mortal hare]

its an outside class declaration

[safe ibex]

so would you know?

[mortal hare]

i edited it

i need it so i can use it like this

Bar<8>::foo(ref8bitClass)

[ivory sleet]

so thats during clickevent right?

and u wna update whether an item got removed or added

[safe ibex]

yeah

[mortal hare]

i just dont know how to declare this properly

[safe ibex]

when an items is removed: do something

[mortal hare]

it doesnt error out in the header definition

of a struct template

[safe ibex]

and I'm trying to also remove that item removed from the PDC

[ivory sleet]

I see

[quaint tapir]

How can I make items not merge without turning item merging off

[hazy parrot]

oh, can you have like

template <std::size_t N>
void Bar<N>::foo(typename std::bitset<N>::reference ref) {}

it probably doesn't work because cpp doesnt know that std::bitset<N>::reference is type

[ivory sleet]

@safe ibex I would say

why not just save the pdc on inv close

[safe ibex]

That's a good point, but I don't understand why this isn't working. I also need it this way so that it can be like a true chest so that if more than one people are looking at the items in the PDC via the inventory-style GUI viewer, it will update like a real chest.

[tardy delta]

uh oh Our mutual friend, Conclure, highly recommended you.

[safe ibex]

I need the true-est chest emulation possible

[mortal hare]

dude you're a lifesaver

that actually works

but im not sure why

[quaint mantle]

Кто добрый человек

[mortal hare]

can you further explain?

wdy doe it need that keyword

[quaint mantle]

[ivory sleet]

[quaint tapir]

екый о довек до

[mortal hare]

there isnt any good people here @quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

Шо

[ivory sleet]

ah fair

[hazy parrot]

because compiler will think std::bitset<N>::reference as an value, you have to explicitly tell that its type

[ivory sleet]

well Idk, if event.clickedInventory.contents would display the recent change

[regal scaffold]

I've seen a lot of people use ACF

[safe ibex]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

[ivory sleet]

since its cancellable

[hazy parrot]

its stupid, but whatever ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[regal scaffold]

Do you guys use it in actual plugins you make?

Besides testing

[safe ibex]

Like I was thinking, is it even removed from the inv if it's just clicked/attatched to the mouse?

You know?

[mortal hare]

ok, but usually i dont need this keyword (except in template declarations), so it must be something because of that templated N value right?

[hazy parrot]

yeah most likely because N is not type, but an actual value

i don't understand that completely too, but had same issue while ago

[ivory sleet]

yeah cookernetes was thinking that too

[safe ibex]

@ivory sleet It'd be really helpful if there was an actual like itemMovedOutOfInventory event, but there's not 🤔

[ivory sleet]

havent touched spigot for a while

true

[safe ibex]

Or there is one, but it's for hoppers (and observers?)

[mortal hare]

yep it works

[ivory sleet]

yea

when items jump between hoppers

[safe ibex]

Yeah

[mortal hare]

you saved me so many hours of frustration. thank you ❤️

[safe ibex]

I really need to fix this though or else this is gonna drive me absolutely fucking crazy 🤣

Like oh my

If anyone knows a way to reliably listen for an item being removed from an inventory, I'd be so happy

[ivory sleet]

hmm Ican test sth rq

[mortal hare]

inventory click event

[safe ibex]

Ooh nice thank you

[safe ibex]

What I'm doing mate - but it's not reliable

Or I'm doing it in an un-reliable manner

[mortal hare]

how is it unreliable

[safe ibex]

#help-development message @mortal hare

Not actually the event

It's me getting the items after the event is called and something is clicked on/removed

[mortal hare]

what about running task one tick later?

inside that event

[safe ibex]

How would that help

[mortal hare]

i dont understand the problem

correctly

[safe ibex]

TL;DR - I am making a virtual chest system which basically has the following features:

1. /donate-items creates a temporary "inventory" attached to the player which also has a "button" in which when clicked, runs the inventory click event which stores the array of item stacks in a PDC stored on the world.
2. /test-show - reads all items currently in the world PDC, then makes an inventory like in the donate items command (minus the button) - and displays all those items in the array ("donated" by the other command)

Very specific, and is simple in theory but isn't in practice for some reason

just setup the env up

Because, @ivory sleet I definitely don't think the contents are being updated/the thing is being taken out of the inventory - as I modified my script like this (in image) which is even simpler WITH an explanation and it's still not working

It just doesn't remove the items 😭

Get the user's inventory contents, then like player.getWorld().dropItem(player.getLocation().add(0,1,0), inventory_item);

Kinda thing

[ornate patio]

Thank you 🙂

[hazy parrot]

TIL you can use in in kotlin for contains

[safe ibex]

yeah

like python I guess lol

[smoky oak]

yo wtf
this removes one item

inv.setItemInMainHand(new ItemStack(Material.LADDER,inv.getItemInMainHand().getAmount()-2));```but this removes two
```java
new BukkitRunnable(){
  @Override
  public void run(){
    inv.setItemInMainHand(new ItemStack(Material.LADDER,inv.getItemInMainHand().getAmount()-2));
  }
}.runTaskLater(plugin,1L);

???????

[safe ibex]

Does it like remove them one by one but needs a delay?

Idfk

[torn shuttle]

ah, yes, my changelog is 5885 characters long

classic

[ivory sleet]

@safe ibex

clicked inv shows content before update

[smoky oak]

what in the world... it removes two even if the task timer is set to 0L

how do inventory work man

[ivory sleet]

so clicked inv wont include updates from the click itself, aka depositing or looting

[safe ibex]

Oh for fuck sake

Amazing!!!!

Is there any workaround/alternative?!

[smoky oak]

isnt java pass by reference? Couldnt you just update whatever inventory youre using when you change it?

[ivory sleet]

no

its pass by value

[smoky oak]

then why do i call clone on vectors

[dry yacht]

What calls this? A bit more context couldn't hurt.

0L still means next tick, btw. You register in the scheduler, and it's earliest queue processing is at the next tick

[smoky oak]

its sure not cuz i want to type extra 5 chars

[smoky oak]

blockplaceevent

[dry yacht]

Okay, I guess I know why then, haha

[smoky oak]

the method is called additionally it doesnt replace the event tho

[orchid gazelle]

uhm what was the formula for degrees -> yaw/pitch rq?

[safe ibex]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ivory sleet]

cuz u mutate the value inside the value

like its still pass by value

[safe ibex]

Is there any solution then, @ivory sleet? And I really appreciate your help btw lol

[dry yacht]

I need to open my laptop, not gonna type this out on my small ass phone keyboard

[orchid gazelle]

something like 360 / or something

[dry yacht]

Pass by reference is a lie anyways, xD. You're always passing a value, but sometimes, that value is a memory address.

[safe ibex]

Like is there an alternate event?

[dry yacht]

I bet that the block place event saves the item in main hand before it's called, then calls the event and then, if not cancelled, sets the item in main hand to the saved item minus one. So no matter what you set it to in the event, it will be overridden to item - 1 afterwards. If you go into a scheduler of 1 tick (0L is still next tick), you effectively override this.

Isn't there a way to change the hand item through the event?

[ivory sleet]

i mean maybe delay

by using bukkit scheduler

[safe ibex]

so just wait a tick then?

and then do it?

because it'd be better if there was like an after event

[smoky oak]

interesting

[ivory sleet]

ye

ik, but I think that might be the only way

[smoky oak]

if you overwrite the inventory in the event the handler from the event itself doesnt run

turning the 2 into a 3 removes two additional items

[safe ibex]

How do I do it then? And will perf be shite?

[ivory sleet]

no, not at all

but like
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, () -> {
//TODO
});

[safe ibex]

And I can put that anywhere?

[trail lintel]

Hey guys, I need a way to "tag" a block or take note of it so I can do some custom logic on it when its interacted with. My initial idea was to use PDC, and store a bit that's basically a flag saying "Hey, this is a custom block". But blocks don't have a PDC :O. So then I was thinking I would just maintain a set of Block, and check to make sure the interacted with block is in that set. But THEN I found this old MetaData api, and figured I could just store the "tag" as a metadata value on the block, but this seems to be an old (and often abused) api. Any suggestions on which route I should go?

[tall dragon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-block-data-persistentdatacontainer-for-blocks.512422/ using this little lib they do

[dry yacht]

Did you try it like this? What did that yield? I'm still searching through the CB code to find out how and when they decrement it, I guess experimenting would be quicker.

[tall dragon]

technically their stuff is then stored in their chunks pdc. but to you u work on a per block level

[ivory sleet]

I mean ye, u're basically appending a function to the server which will be invoked next tick

[smoky oak]

well setting the two to a three removes, in total, three items. i dont know why but i dont need to know why lol

[trail lintel]

I did actually stumble upon this library yesterday. I was wondering if maybe this is overkill though, since all I need to do is store a simple bit to tag a block. Using the metadata api would also allow me to provide support for pre 1.14 versions. Hmmmmm.

[safe ibex]

Yeah this fucking works flawlessly

It's so dumb that I have to fucking do that though

[tall dragon]

well its your own decision then depending on what u need. but i would go for the lib

[ivory sleet]

yea true

Post and Pre events would be a nicer design conceivably

[safe ibex]

Yeah 1 million percent

[trail lintel]

I do see its a compile time dependency so it won't require another plugin to be installed, I may just go for the lib 😉

You guys are very helpful, thanks a bunch

[orchid gazelle]

can I move armorstands async?

[river oracle]

AFAIK you can't even change anything about the world async

You can read a lot if stuff about it just not make changes

[safe ibex]

Ok well thanks so much @ivory sleet 👍

[smoky oak]

making async interact with the server is such a pain in the ass

[orchid gazelle]

well what I wanna do is basicly just move an armorstand, but it would freeze the main thread when doing that over time in a normal task

[smoky oak]

you need to make a queue of changes to be made and ensure you dont get race conditions

[dry yacht]

Uhm, alrighty, sounds great! xD

[echo basalt]

• 256 / 360

might be late

just woke upo

[river oracle]

How would moving 1 entity freeze the main thread

[echo basalt]

not with that attitude

[orchid gazelle]

wait what? Never seen that one

[echo basalt]

bascially yaw and pitch are represented as a byte iirc

[river oracle]

Are there a ton of hacks to do this shit async without changing the server?

[torn shuttle]

can I yeet you off a cliff in async?

[echo basalt]

you can play with palettes async

[orchid gazelle]

I just wanna move an armorstand over time basicly lol

[echo basalt]

with reflections

[river oracle]

Oh ik it's just not fun to do that

But ig

[smoky oak]

on that topic, is runtaskasync in the current or in the next tick?

[echo basalt]

Honestly if you want to have such fine control, you can play with packets async

[echo basalt]

You'd face exceptions

[river oracle]

Async timer and then resync to move it?

[torn shuttle]

ah seems like it would be pretty easy to bruteforce then

[orchid gazelle]

what do you mean with resync?

[echo basalt]

No matter your efforts, brute-forcing will never work

:)

[river oracle]

Just makw the move task synced

And async the actual countdown and timer

[torn shuttle]

If brute force hasn't worked in the past it is only because you have not applied enough force.

[echo basalt]

say that again and imma buy your neighbourhood

[smoky oak]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute_Force_(Ellis_book) depends

[echo basalt]

not in this context

[smoky oak]

you didnt provide one

[smoky oak]

also i just realized you implied you would dare to touch grass
how could you
youre a coder

[tardy delta]

someone who understands it XD

[dry yacht]

Yaw and pitch are degrees, so dividing them by 360 will give you a number ranging from 0 to 1, which you then scale to the range of a byte by multiplying by 255. Yaw, for example, ranges from -180 to 180, resulting in a byte value ranging from -128 to 128 - a signed byte. Pitch ranges from -90 to 90, yielding -64 to 64. This conversion works, because the values are always <= 180. Otherwise, you couldn't interpret them signed.

[dry yacht]

I mean... the stack doesn't care about values or references, it's always going to be a value. It's about how the program interprets these values.

[orchid gazelle]

so I just use degrees * 256 / 360 in my code to convert the degrees to yaw right?

[tardy delta]

true

[dry yacht]

To convert the yaw to a byte, you meant, right? Yes.

[echo basalt]

I mostly manage my team nowadays

[orchid gazelle]

no, im converting degrees -> yaw/pitch

[dry yacht]

Yaw and pitch are already in the unit degrees? :-:

[orchid gazelle]

oh what?

[dry yacht]

Location#getYaw and Location#getPitch are values ranging from -180 to 180 and -90 to 90, respectively.

[smoky oak]

aint they doubles in .1 steps

[dry yacht]

Do you mean how to convert 0 to 360 to -180 to 180? xD

[dry yacht]

They are exactly what F3 mode shows you

[smoky oak]

ye

[orchid gazelle]

ok imma make this clear rq: If I input "rotate by 210 degrees", it should rotate by 210 degrees

[smoky oak]

why do you have time for this again

[echo basalt]

get your 2014 acoustic panels outta here

[torn shuttle]

because I just finished writing the changelog and dunking on illusion was next on my todo list

[echo basalt]

mans so old his pic's in black & white

[smoky oak]

if that really is magma ill be disappointed

you know

[echo basalt]

it is

[orchid gazelle]

ok I got the loop up, its ASYNC. Now, as.teleport is async tho

[smoky oak]

sharing personal info online

is something id never do

[echo basalt]

oh no he's gonna get caught

[torn shuttle]

I was literally streaming this morning

[echo basalt]

I used to be paranoid like that when I was 14

[tardy delta]

💀

[torn shuttle]

I am editing a video I am uploading on youtube

my discord pfp is of me

[echo basalt]

just because you have acoustic panels doesn't mean you're a youtuber

[torn shuttle]

I'm not an assassin, I don't need my face to be unknown

no I am not a youtuber because I am currently releasing 1 video a year lol

[river oracle]

You gotta make a sync call with bukkit scheduler

[echo basalt]

there goes your oportunity to say you've murdered the competition

[river oracle]

So it syncs up

[smoky oak]

all my 'videos' are entries in a competition i really shouldnt have been in lol

[echo basalt]

I don't need fake online fame to cheer myself up, so I just don't upload stuff

[torn shuttle]

I don't need online fame either, but I could use some advertising

[orchid gazelle]

                new BukkitRunnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        as.teleport(new Location(as.getLocation().getWorld(), as.getLocation().getX() + xPT, as.getLocation().getY() + yPT, as.getLocation().getZ() + zPT));
                    }
                    
                }.runTask(LoopCityScript.plugin);
``` just like that?

IN my async loop?

[smoky oak]

wait

runTask syncs

never knew that

[dry yacht]

Tbh, I'd need to test this myself, lmao. But isn't it just a case decision to convert between the two? angle if angle <= 180 else angle - 360. You should also make sure that you catch < 0 and > 360 beforehand and normalize them. Other than that I cannot provide much input, I'm afraid.

[orchid gazelle]

hmmm

[echo basalt]

just

yaw %= 180

type deal

or be a clown like me and do a while loop

[smoky oak]

O(n²) enjoyer ?

oh btw have you ever worked with databases?

[quaint mantle]

whats the smartest way to make an npc move like an real player

[dry yacht]

We're talking about converting 0-360 to yaw, so how's either of that gonna solve it? You need to end up with a negative number in "half of the cases", but you're inputting a strictly positive one.

At least that's how I interpreted the question

[smoky oak]

have someone play the npc

[dry yacht]

Capture real movement packets, store, replay them, xD

[quaint mantle]

great idea

[quaint mantle]

yaw can be negative

[dry yacht]

Yes, that's what I was getting at

So how is yaw %= 180 gonna cover the cases where you're looking into negative yaw direction

if yaw ranges from 0 to 360, as that's what DaFeist wants to input

[river oracle]

yeah but why tf aren't you using lambdas

you could shrink that code so much

[smoky oak]

tbh i also completely forgot u can lambda a runnable

[orchid gazelle]

wait is it just Math.toRadians actually lol?

[river oracle]

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(() -> as.teleport(new Location(as.getLocation().getWorld(), as.getLocation().getX() + xPT, as.getLocation().getY() + yPT, as.getLocation().getZ() + zPT));```

[orchid gazelle]

because it looks 10x more ugly to me

[ivory sleet]

Waat

[dry yacht]

Have you tried to just input the angle as is yet? Could be that due to the signed nature of bytes, this conversion is done automatically for you anyways. It would just be reversed, likely, as it's 256 to -256 instead of -256 to 256. But then, again, I'm rusty on that kind of topic. I'd just play it save by using my formula if it was me.

[safe ibex]

@ivory sleet Strannnggee issue - for some reason now when I add logic in the scheduler (highlighted in image) for managing items being put in it, it makes all of the other logic just not work... would you know why?

[orchid gazelle]

eh I have not tested anything(just building kind of an API around armorstands rn) but imma put a note there so I know whats wrong when it does not work

[ivory sleet]

Uhh, im not at my pc but let me see if I can spot anything

[river oracle]

💀 what

[safe ibex]

Coolio

[ivory sleet]

addAll @safe ibex ?

Is that ur method

[safe ibex]

In SS yeah I’m doing that

But under no circumstances should it modify the other logic

Like the one I tried for hours to do

[ivory sleet]

No im just curious what the method does lol

Concretely that is

[safe ibex]

Adds all items in one array to other

Like spread + concat in JS

[ivory sleet]

Oh

Wait it’s MutableList::addAll?

Ah fuck im not used to kotlin mb

[safe ibex]

Think of it as adding all the items in the other array to an array

But that’s really not the issue

[ivory sleet]

Yeah but did u write it, or is it a std method?

[safe ibex]

Stdlib for kotlin

@ivory sleet do you know why it fucks up the rest of the logic!?

Like it shouldn’t

[ivory sleet]

No but you’re overcomplicating stuff

Why do you just write to the pdc put simply?

[safe ibex]

What do you mean

I’m checking if an item is added by checking if there’s an item in the inventory that’s not in the PDC, then I’m making a new array that consists of the old PDC items and the item that’s not in the PDC currently, then I set it to the PDC

[astral wedge]

I'm trying to create a brush that will "paint" a biome. This takes the biome given by the player and should change the blocks to the given biome, but instead just changes them to an ocean. Is there anything I'm missing here?

this.selectedBiome is the correct biome, I checked with a console log.

            final double xSquared = Math.pow(x, 2);

                for (int z = -brushSize; z <= brushSize; z++) {
                    for (int y = 0; y < 256; y++) {
                    if ((xSquared + Math.pow(z, 2)) <= brushSizeSquared) {                   
                        this.getWorld().setBiome(this.getTargetBlock().getX() + x,                                  y,
                                this.getTargetBlock().getZ() + z,
                                this.selectedBiome);

                    }
                }
            }
        }```

[small hawk]

Is there a way to check if player has shulker box in his hand, i mean no matter what color of the shulker is

[remote swallow]

if (player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType().toString().contains("SHULKER_BOX") 

[twin venture]

anyone know how stop the countdown , if players in arena are less than in current players?

i have this check but ti does not work

[grizzled oasis]

How can i get the nearby players and entities like from 20 blocks away?

[twin venture]

player.getLocation().getWorld().getNearbyEntities(location,20,20,20).forEach(entity -> {

        });

you can use stream

[quaint tapir]

Wither wither = location.getWorld().spawn(location, Wither.class); wither.setCustomName(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Wither" + ChatColor.WHITE + " ( " + ChatColor.GREEN + "4000" + ChatColor.WHITE + " )"); wither.setCustomNameVisible(true); Attributable witherAt = wither; AttributeInstance damage = witherAt.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE); AttributeInstance health = witherAt.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH); AttributeInstance speed = witherAt.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED); speed.setBaseValue(10); health.setBaseValue(4000); wither.setHealth(4000); damage.setBaseValue(100);
I'm trying to set a wither that spawns at max hp of 4000 and has attack damage of 100 but it doesn't work in game and returns errors anyone know how to work with withers?

[pseudo hazel]

what errors

[quaint tapir]

when I summon it in it says an internal error occured

basically it spawns a wither that says 4000 health on the bossbar

but it spawns with regular health and 1/3 hp

[grizzled oasis]

it counts player too? or only entities?

what?

[quaint tapir]

it counts players

items

mobs

& more

[hazy parrot]

BukkitTask#isCanceled() ?

[mortal hare]

man i feel soooooo dumb

cmon

i've been working on bitwise operations

and wondering why that wasnt working

so i did two different algorithms

which only partially worked

turns out you just needed one, by executing it twice

I wrote that algorithm knowing that it would work for that case, but somehow i forgot that I can use it

and here I am, after 8 hours of sitting and wondering what's wrong

feeling dissapointed with my lack of intelligence for a such a simple thing.

[twin venture]

thanks but that is not avvilable in the version iam working with

[hazy parrot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal hare]

what kind of api do you use

[hazy parrot]

probably pre-1.8 lol

[mortal hare]

it surely exists in 1.8

pre 1.8 era minecraft versions are not safe

due to log4j exploit

iirc

[hazy parrot]

that is why i say pre 😄

[dry yacht]

Come on, we all have days like these, xD. You don't want to know how much time I've wasted over stupid mistakes already.

[dry yacht]

[twin venture]

using 1.8.8

[mortal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-life-is-a-lie-shocked-gif-17981657

[mortal hare]

maybe you can use reflections

to find some private field that states if the task is active

inside implementation

[echo basalt]

too much work

[mortal hare]

is there taskid?

[echo basalt]

just get the taskId

and check the scheduelr

[mortal hare]

Bukkit.getScheduler().isCurrentlyRunning(taskId)

[twin venture]

alr

[dry yacht]

Is that really the same as isCancelled tho?

Doesn't look like it

[rain plinth]

does anyone know how to get bukkit.yml on a fabric server?

[river oracle]

:O lol

bukkit isn't fabric

and it never will be

[twin venture]

what iam doing is :
now if 2 players in arena , and one of them leave the arena , it will stop the countdown so this is fixed , but if the same player who left join the same arena again , the countdown will not work .

ideas?

[mortal hare]

if it doesnt find the task in the scheduler it returns false

[dry yacht]

Looks like they use a period of -2 as some sort of sentinel value to mark cancelled tasks. So checking it's period for < 0 should be the same as modern isCancelled

Yep, indeed

[twin venture]

alright thanks 😄

[dry yacht]

The task has to be async, just saying

If not async, always return false

[mortal hare]

if task == null async statement check will not be invoked

[twin venture]

iam canceling the task :

if the players in the arena is not less than 2

[dry yacht]

You get false if the task is not async. Period.

[dry yacht]

Only issue is that this period value is not accessible through the API, it seems like...

[mortal hare]

if task is running and task is not async do the code nested inside else return false

where tf do you see that it would return false if task is async

[dry yacht]

False if the task is sync.

[mortal hare]

if task is not running it will return false

if you cancel it

the task is not running

[safe ibex]

Would anyone know of a cleaner way to write the following?
https://paste.md-5.net/ogoletetin.cs

And the section I am talking about is the one screenshotted as this (while scuffed) is the only way I have gotten my logic semi-working 🤔

[wispy jasper]

a quick question: how do i give a player a tag and how to remove?

[dry yacht]

((CraftTask) task).getPeriod() < 0 means it's cancelled.

[quaint tapir]

can I make passive mobs target a player

[dry yacht]

task != null && !task.isSync()

If the task is null, it will not enter the block and thus return false. If the task is not null, the second condition is resolved. The block again is only entered if the task is NOT sync, thus async. So this check only works for async tasks and will yield false for all sync tasks.

[mortal hare]

yes, but by the time you cancel the task

it would always return false

[dry yacht]

But it's completely useless to check if a sync task has been cancelled...

While the sentinel value comparison always works out

[twin venture]

iam cancling the task here , so if the player join the arena again the task will be canceled

[mortal hare]

but its version dependant

[twin venture]

so i need to make new task right?

[dry yacht]

It's not? The sentinel is -2L from 1.8 all throughout 1.19

[mortal hare]

isnt CraftTask package

prefixed

OBC?

[dry yacht]

You shouldn't access CB without reflection anyways. But that one reflective access shouldn't be too hard, even for beginners to reflection.

[frosty cairn]

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 33,554,299 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'. You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem. ```java

[dry yacht]

Sorry for shadowing your questions, I'mma be silent now, xD.

[twin venture]

its oky , i was hoping to get a fix xd

[mortal hare]

well you're kinda right for async tasks, cancelling the task wouldnt immediately shutdown the task

thus there's a risk that it would still find the task in the scheduler

[sacred mountain]

hey slightly offtopic, is there a quick and easy way to encrypt a string (a mysql database connection link) without having to obfuscate my jar?

[dry yacht]

You asked how to check if a task is cancelled, that's all I can currently help with, sorry. I really need to work on a project right now, so I cannot get into the mindspace of your project. I could only provide a solution for that. If it's about some state machine or on how to architect things, I'm currently not able to provide help :/

[sacred mountain]

because i'm trying to create a connection without people decompiling and logging into my db

[twin venture]

alr no worries i think i fixed it .

[mortal hare]

are you using Spigot API or the buildtools version as the dependency?

[eternal oxide]

no db should be publicly accessible

[dry yacht]

If your plugin knows enough to access the DB at runtime, anybody can hook into that information and access it too. Impossible request.

If it's about logging, send the logs to your server through a socket, then access the DB there.

[eternal oxide]

My guess is you are trying to implement some authentication system for people who have purchased your plugin. Not allowed on premium resources

[river oracle]

easiest way to do this imho

is to not do it
