[river oracle]

oh you are doing matchmaking ?

[torn oyster]

Yes

[river oracle]

gross I cbf to do proper matchmaking

PluginMessageChannels should do everything you need though

[eternal oxide]

is your plugin that offered the "play" a spigot or bungee plugin?

[river oracle]

they are a bit weird to get used to at first

[torn oyster]

Don't those need a player online thouhg

[chrome beacon]

They do

[torn oyster]

I will also need to be communicating to tell the proxy plugin that the server is full or if the game has started or not

[eternal oxide]

You must have a player online to be pressing the Play button

[river oracle]

you need players to play games so I see no issue

[chrome beacon]

I assume they want to send a message to proxy that the server is ready and can be connected to

[eternal oxide]

?pmc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/

[chrome beacon]

So that they then can send the players there

[torn oyster]

Hold on let me explain what I am doing

So I have a pterodactyl panel, and a server template for each minigame

The proxy plugin uses the pterodactyl API to create a server

And create ServerInfo so they can connect to it

That works perfectly

I would like to have a way to let players join from a lobby, or click "play again" after it ends

[eternal oxide]

then you need nothing, you are doing everything on the proxy

[torn oyster]

I can't do these things from the proxy

[eternal oxide]

on the proxy you have access to all connected players

[torn oyster]

Yes but I want a GUI so they can play

You can't execute bungee commands from backend I don't think

[eternal oxide]

then you need a spigot plugin and messaging channels

[torn oyster]

If that was possible then I have my solution with a /play <minigamename>

[eternal oxide]

what are you calling the "backend"?

[torn oyster]

Spigot servers

[eternal oxide]

thats not a backend

also bungee commands are available on each connected spigot server

[torn oyster]

I am aware

but not through codef

You cant make a player execute a bungee command from spigot api

[eternal oxide]

?pmc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/

[torn oyster]

Would I need a custom channel for this

[torn oyster]

What if I wanted to communicate when no players are in a server

[eternal oxide]

not essential but you should

[torn oyster]

Like say if the minigame is ready to be joined

[eternal oxide]

Who exactly are you planning to communicate with when no players are online?

[torn oyster]

Spigot -> Proxy

Like when the minigame is ready to be played/used

[eternal oxide]

There is no one online so there was no one to click the play button

[torn oyster]

What

[eternal oxide]

No players = no game

[torn oyster]

No like on that individual minigame instance

No players would be on

But there are players in the lobby waiting

[eternal oxide]

you don;t send anything to the mini8game server

[torn oyster]

Yes but the minigame servers sends stuff to the proxy

[eternal oxide]

you only send players

[torn oyster]

And it cant communicate if there are no players on that minigame server

[eternal oxide]

it shoudl not send anythign with no players on it

[torn oyster]

How would the proxy know when server is ready then

[eternal oxide]

You are very confusing with terminology

[regal scaffold]

INSERT INTO ban_trial.banned_players (player_uuid) VALUES ('08341680-0904-4271-af2e-24cc49b12952')

[torn oyster]

When a player requests to play a minigame, it clones the server template and downloads the server jar in the new server instance

No players would be on the server at that time

[regal scaffold]

Why would I possibly be getting a success in update

But the data doesn't actually get put in the database

[torn oyster]

How would I make the minigame instance (spigot) tell the proxy that it is done setting up and players can join now

[chrome beacon]

So I was right

[torn oyster]

Yes I think I was going off what you said

[eternal oxide]

You could probably poll using https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ws/api/target/apidocs/net/md_5/bungee/api/config/ServerInfo.html#ping(net.md_5.bungee.api.Callback)

if it doesn;t respond its not online

[torn oyster]

What is the sendData thing

[eternal oxide]

messaging channels

[torn oyster]

Oh

When I'm making this should I use "BungeeCord" channel

[regal scaffold]

I'm having a issue with MySQL

I have a method to insert data into a table, the method returns the number of updated lines and works perfectly, no errors or anything, I'm looking at the SQL Connections to monitor usage and that's working correctly, no issues anywhere.

Except after all the success, the data isn't actually added to the database. No clue what is going on at all

[torn oyster]

or do I make one of my own?

[regal scaffold]

create table if not exists banned_players
(
    player_id   int auto_increment
        primary key,
    player_uuid varchar(45) not null
);

INSERT INTO ban_trial.banned_players (player_uuid) VALUES ('08341680-0904-4271-af2e-24cc49b12952')

[hazy parrot]

How are you executing query

[regal scaffold]

No errors, success all around, no issues with sqlserver connections and returns "1" cause it updated 1

[hazy parrot]

Show whole method

[regal scaffold]

            PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO " + this.DATABASE_NAME + ".banned_players (player_uuid) VALUES (?)");
            ps.setString(1, ban.getPlayerUUID().toString());
            //<---------- Right here print (ps) and that's what I sent 
            ps.executeUpdate();

[hazy parrot]

That is not whole method

[earnest lark]

is there a event for a player taking a item from a gui

[regal scaffold]

There's nothing else

Try and catch

That does not get executed

Cause I have prints everywhere

And the data is not null

[chrome beacon]

InventoryClickEvent

[earnest lark]

K

luv ya

[regal scaffold]

This statement is a print from sout(ps)

Literally

I've been debugging for close to an hour now... Switched SQL Servers, remade everything, no luck

ps.executeUpdate() returns 1

[torn oyster]

Figured it out

Pterodactyl has a thing where you can see if a server is running

STARTING and ONLINE or something

[earnest lark]

ok im using InventoryClickEvent how do i get the name of the gui

[regal scaffold]

@hazy parrot

Any clue?

[hard socket]

event.getView().getName or smth

[earnest lark]

oh cool

doesent work

[river oracle]

It's getTitle

But I wouldn't use title to check inventory for InventoryClickEvent or related

[earnest lark]

well

i am

[torn oyster]

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Channel must contain : separator (attempted to use Minigame)

why can't I use the channel "minigame"

why do I need a :

how does this work

[regal scaffold]

Well

Guess what

MySQL autocommit seems to be broke

connection.commit fixed it

after 1.5 hours

[eternal oxide]

use something like bc:minigame

[torn oyster]

like literally that?

or actually like BungeeCord:minigame

[eternal oxide]

makes no difference, it's just a naming requirement

[torn oyster]

and do I need that same thing on the proxy listener part

[river oracle]

That's bad design

[earnest lark]

what would you reccomend

[river oracle]

one sec trying to find the resource

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

@earnest lark ^

[earnest lark]

i know what im doing

slightly

im using the title to find the targeted player

[river oracle]

regardless that is bad design

use the guide I sent as a rough outline for what you need

[earnest lark]

honestly idrc enough

if i was bieng paid or soemthing it woudl be different

[bronze wren]

hey guys

[earnest lark]

hi]

[bronze wren]

im new to plugin dev so I get a bit of help with smth

[earnest lark]

k

[bronze wren]

damn I cant send all the code

[remote swallow]

?paste it

[undone axle]

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

[flint coyote]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[bronze wren]

oh

[remote swallow]

get sniped

[flint coyote]

I even interrupted my coding for that :/

[bronze wren]

so what now I put the code in the site

[flint coyote]

and then ctrl+s

and then send the link in here

[remote swallow]

then send us the link

[bronze wren]

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

i want to make the kills variable seperate for each player

like they all have a seperate variable but the scoreboard only displays the kill count of the most recent player

because the scoreboard isnt local

[flint coyote]

That's because your bukkitKiller is a class variable. Instead you should make a function in the scoreboard

Something like updateScoreboardForPlayer(Player player). Then in your events you would just call that function after you updated the hashmap

[bronze wren]

alr ill see if that works

thanks

wait i dont think I follow

i created a function that returns the kill value but idk how that would help

like I get that it's because they are class variables now but idk how I would fix it

[flint coyote]

I just noticed you have to keep updating inside the scheduler due to the time being displayed.
In that case you want to loop over all players and update the scoreboard for each of them inside your scheduler.

for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
 // update scoreboard
}

If you have a subset of players for each board you should loop the subset ofc

[bronze wren]

so excuse my dumbness cause I started plugin dev a few days ago but for looping for all online players, would I nest my already existing for loop within it?

[flint coyote]

I don't know what you are looping there. What is boards.values()?

[bronze wren]

idfk I followed a tutorial 🤣

[flint coyote]

Send me the FastBoard class pls

[remote swallow]

fast board is alib

[bronze wren]

I don't have its class

its an import

[flint coyote]

Oh

[remote swallow]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/fastboard.60946/

[bronze wren]

is there a way to make fastboard boards local

or at least some variables within one

[flint coyote]

I'd assume that boards.values() returns multiple scoreboards if there are multiple scoreboards.
I can't tell if each scoreboard is for every player or only one player

[eternal oxide]

teams belong to scoreboards. Players can only be in one team at a time

[flint coyote]

Why would you loop different scoreboards then?

[eternal oxide]

you can have multiple scoreboard but not all in use at teh time

[flint coyote]

Well in that case he doesn't need that loop. Unless there ain't another way of determining the correct scoreboard

[bronze wren]

all I want here is to make kills local

ill optimize crap later

[flint coyote]

Just try to put it inside your other loop and see if it works 🤷‍♂️

I don't know the lib so I can just guess

[regal scaffold]

Is smile around

I was wondering how he did to implement paging into his GUI system

[bronze wren]

how would I make a local scoreboard without fastboard?

[flint coyote]

Nah he's probably asleep

[regal scaffold]

I wanna adapt his implementation to allow multi-pages

[flint coyote]

But I'm also working based on his GUI tutorial and implemented paging by adding a page variable to my inventory.
And then my Consumer just increments/decrements the page and calls decorate again.
Decorate is therefore adjusted to deal with the page

this.addButton(48, new InventoryButton(Material.ACACIA_BUTTON, "Left", null, event -> {
                page--;
                this.decorate();
            }));

[bronze wren]

ill take that as you can't

[flint coyote]

I just did this an hour ago so sadly I did not clean up all the mess yet. I can still send you the code as a reference if you want^^

[regal scaffold]

Oh oh yes you just game me the idea I needed

Thanks!

[flint coyote]

yw :)

[bronze wren]

if you're talking to me then that would be greatly appreciated

[flint coyote]

Nah I was talking to tomis, sry

[regal scaffold]

I assume you store the variable in the implementation and not the abs class

[bronze wren]

damnit

[flint coyote]

For now, yes. But the cleanup will be to have another abstract class. Something like "PageableGUI"

[regal scaffold]

Oh wait you use the consumer like you said, I see what you did

Yes exactly

What I was just about to say

Sick!

[flint coyote]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/creating-a-scoreboard.156548/

The guide ain't great since there are no descriptions but it's a general direction

[bronze wren]

final Scoreboard scoreboard = (Scoreboard) manager.getNewScoreboard();
final Objective objective = scoreboard.registerNewObjective("test", "dummy");

registernewobjective doesn't exist

[flint coyote]

Yeah some of the methods are deprecated

You could use this criteria

[bronze wren]

i think you were right the first time about it being because they were class variables

i modified it to display the player's location and it worked fine on a per-player basis

so how the heck do I update kills without using class vars

[flint coyote]

When you have the player then you don't have to use the class variable.
Just get the kills of the player from your hashmap like you got the location from the player

[bronze wren]

why didn't I think of that lmfao kills.get(board.getPlayer().getName())

im so stupid

[karmic mural]

Hi, so I am rewriting a plugin and noticed that "setLore" is deprecated, but after some searching it seems that it's a paper api thing... Should I just swap back to spigot api. (I took an extended break and can't recall any reason for the switch)
org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta.setLore

[young knoll]

Deprecation is just a warning

[late sonnet]

its a paper thing because the recommendation is use Adventure Components.

[young knoll]

It’s still usable

[flint coyote]

Deprecation does not mean that it does no longer work

[late sonnet]

the string method still working for the basic thing.

[karmic mural]

I am aware, I am mostly just asking if there's any real benefit to paper over spigot in terms of development? I am very novice with plugins

[late sonnet]

[sterile token]

Paper 💀

[young knoll]

Depends if you want the plugin to run on spigot

[flint coyote]

Paper has some things that spigot does not have. Like a PlayerJumpEvent. Besides that, no.
Oh and by using parts of the API that are not part of spigot your plugin will only work on paper servers ofc

[karmic mural]

Do you have any expanded thoughts on why I shouldn't use paper? I'm looking for the best possible experience both for development and players

[flint coyote]

Do you have any reason for using paper is the better question

[karmic mural]

I've used it for so long I can't recall why I started and don't see why I should stop? Honestly, if there's a better server I should be running for the best player experience then feel free to inform me

[flint coyote]

That's not what I meant. I was asking from a developer perspective. Are you using any special features of the paper api?

[karmic mural]

Honestly not atm but just the fact that "PlayerJumpEvent" is a thing in paper and not spigot does make it more interesting to stay considering features I've planned

[flint coyote]

You can stick with paper. Just keep in mind that if you ever plan on publishing your plugin on spigotmc that not every server is running paper

[young knoll]

You are not allowed to publish plugins that require paper on spigotmc

[karmic mural]

~~Does it impact my ability to post plugins to spigotmc if it's built on paper api? ~~ nvm coll answered already

[ancient plank]

I use the API for whichever platform the server I am working with uses, so it's been paper for a while.

Pretty neat though

[young knoll]

Smh

Pr more api to spigot instead :p

[river oracle]

is there a jira request for PlayerJumpEvent

I wonder where'd you inject that at in NMS though

[young knoll]

It’s basically just the statistic increment event

Might have some extra checks

[river oracle]

? wdym by that

ohhh

yeah actually now that I think about that

[young knoll]

That’s what is generally used on spigot to detect jumps

Granted idk their exact implementation but I imagine it’s similar

[flint coyote]

Yes there is

And it's named exactly like you said

[regal scaffold]

Fabsi

[flint coyote]

Yes?

[regal scaffold]

So I put some page logic on the abstract

But now I'm wondering, how exactly did you call decorate only when the prev and next buttons are clicked

Did you do it from the consumer inside the button?

Or did you override the click method in the implementation

[flint coyote]

I did it from the consumer, yes

[regal scaffold]

Oh cool

I wonder tho

If I added the prev/next button in the abs class

And I call decorate from the abs class

Does it still use the implementation?

I don't think it does

I think the consumer logic needs to be in the implementation

[flint coyote]

No you would call decorate in your implementation which then calls super.decorate(). That would be your pageable class. And the pageable class also calls super.decorate()

[regal scaffold]

Yeah thought so

Thanks

[flint coyote]

I just started creating the abstract class but I can get back to you when I'm done so we can compare

[regal scaffold]

For sure, I'll have mine ready in a few mins

I implemented a very handy

InventoryItem

For stuff that doesn't require events, which is really nice

CompleteableFuture

Doesn't exist

Completeable isn't a word

It's not a word lol

Go on google

Completeable

[flint coyote]

I really wanna dive deeper and improve a lot of things based on smiles implementation.
But I have to keep a balance between making progress and doing cleanup so I don't get bored

[regal scaffold]

That makes complete sense of course, but adding a InventoryItem takes you about a min at most

And you'll use it every single time, guarantee

[flint coyote]

I don't have any items without functionality (yet). I might do the same in order to make the GUIs prettier tho

[regal scaffold]

Fair enough

Always nice to be able to display a item to just show info

Of course you can do it with a InventoryButton

But why

When you call decorate do you need to reopen the inventory?

[flint coyote]

No it will override the content in the inventory. If you adjust it a little bit

[regal scaffold]

Oh yeah just saw

Cool

public class InventoryItem {
    private Function<Player, ItemStack> iconCreator;

    public InventoryItem creator(Function<Player, ItemStack> iconCreator) {
        this.iconCreator = iconCreator;
        return this;
    }

    public Function<Player, ItemStack> getIconCreator() {
        return this.iconCreator;
    }
}

xd

It's just same without the consumer

[flint coyote]

Why do you need the creator tho?

[regal scaffold]

Customize the item still

All it is it a InventoryButton with event

So for example

For background items

        InventoryItem backgroundItem =
                new InventoryItem().creator((p) -> createBackgroundItem());

        for (int i = 0; i < getInventory().getSize(); i++) {
            this.addItem(i, backgroundItem);
        }

And that fills up all empty spaces

The way it works too is order, if you first set it to glass, and then set a specific slot to something else, the latest will be the one that actually shows

[flint coyote]

I see. I did not add the iconCreator thing since my Buttons do not depend on the player viewing it

[regal scaffold]

So always just fill it with a single object to not need to make hundreds of itemstacks

[regal scaffold]

Again, this is always for functionality especially if you're making a API having it is nice

Have both alternatives

[flint coyote]

Yeah that makes sense. Will do that as one of my last cleanups probably.
Still got a lot of more important things to do. Probably one of my largest projects so far

[regal scaffold]

Glad to hear

I just got mine accepted on spigot

So I'm extremely happy

Like, hours ago

[flint coyote]

Accepted by who? The premium resource team?

[regal scaffold]

Yup

[plucky pasture]

Would anyone here know of any type of articles or anything? A couple simple projects to learn the API kinda like a unit test but to learn this lib?

(I know java)

[flint coyote]

I see. The biggest part of my project will be free and open source though, That would be the engine and some utility stuff. More complex or specific stuff might then be released as a "premium addon"

[regal scaffold]

Always a good idea

[flint coyote]

Other developers can then create addons themselves if they want to. It'll be a very powerful tool. I already spent over a month working on it. Average is probably 4 hours/day

I'd say I'm 65-70% done (for version 1.0 that is)

After that there's a lot of room for more features.
And I will have to set up some servers and documentation to test and learn about it

[regal scaffold]

Glad to hear! Keep at it

[flint coyote]

Of course! Alright, back to the abstract class :)

[crystal bay]

anyone got a good anti cheat i can borrow

[sleek turret]

Question, what would be the best option for storing whether a players pvp is on or off?

i've used PDCs but ive run into issues sometimes

[regal scaffold]

Also a decent alternative

[flint coyote]

A simple Map?

[sleek turret]

would that be better than assigning it to the player?

[flint coyote]

If you have issues with the PDC than that's your next best alternative.

Although idk why pdc would not work

[sleek turret]

idk what it is, my pdcs break in certain places

could i use meta data on the player?

[flint coyote]

You could use ScoreboardTags

[sleek turret]

ok, thanks for the suggestions

[crystal bay]

still waiting for that response

[sleek turret]

wrong channel, go to #help-server

[crystal bay]

nah not what i need

i need to know

idc about the server side

i just need info

Im in the right place quiet frankly

SOOOOOOO anyone got something or...

[sleek turret]

"Serious Spigot and BungeeCord programming/development help | Ask development-related questions here"

[crystal bay]

Relax kid ik what im doing

[sleek turret]

ok, have fun waiting for an answer

[crystal bay]

the reason im asking here is cuz like im tryna make one

DUH

[sleek turret]

well the way you asked sure doesnt make that clear

[crystal bay]

just keep playing btd6 u seem to be doing just fine with that

[sleek turret]

lmao

[crystal bay]

i hv to make a stupid fucking anticheat for my friend cuz they hate every anticheat out there soooo

thats why im asking

Vulcan hate it
grim HATE IT
Negativity hate it
HAC hate it

[sleek turret]

damn, thats not gonna be fun. Anti-cheats are the worst to make

[crystal bay]

u can suggest any ac to them

they hate it

[sleek turret]

lmfao

[crystal bay]

fr

Cant make that up

[sleek turret]

tbh though, ive never found one i truley liked

[crystal bay]

fair

[sleek turret]

what you should do is just get an open source one and modify the branding and tell them you made it. see what they think lmao

[crystal bay]

do i compile that to a jar file tho

[sleek turret]

i there are some you can jsut edit it through the config file

[crystal bay]

i did just rip one off the internet and handed it to them said "here ya go shut the fuck up and accept it"

[sleek turret]

i know, the other owner of my server did that but idk what the AC was that he used

lmao

good

[static ingot]

Anybody have an idea why I'm getting a "player moved too quickly" warnings when they're teleported on-command?

[river oracle]

Pretty sure that's just an unfortunate side effect I'm not sure if you can do anything about that

This behavior can be replicated by /tp in game

[regal scaffold]

Why would ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string);

Still return

[flint coyote]

It should not. You probably forgot to reassign the string

[regal scaffold]

I make a string, then translate the colors

Then add it to a list, so doubt

[flint coyote]

do you reassign the translated string?

[regal scaffold]

Oh that's what you mean

...

Distracted me

[flint coyote]

:)

[regal scaffold]

Genius

[static ingot]

damn, you're right. didn't think to try that

just a minor annoyance

[flint coyote]

Well you can probably guess why that's the first thing I ask, lol

[regal scaffold]

You know what's interesting about smile implementation

The gui title cannot be player-specific

Maybe if you make the abstract Inventory inventory not final, and call createInventory in the implementation constructor instead of in abstract

[flint coyote]

Yeah I had problems with that, too. I added the title and the inventory size to the constructor now. I don't have a createInventory method anymore

public InventoryGUI(int size, String title) {
        this.inventory = Bukkit.createInventory(null, size, title);
    }

[regal scaffold]

Well

I just did

Abstract

    private Inventory inventory;

Remove createInventory from constructor

    public HistoryMenu(ArrayList<History> history) {
        super(history.size());
        this.history = history;
        super.setInventory(createInventory());
    }

Inside the menu implementation call setInventory so then the Data you're using to populate the GUI "Or even just the player name"

Is available

[flint coyote]

That would also work, yes

[regal scaffold]

Handy when you need to populate a GUI with a object

Works like a charm

[flint coyote]

Is there a way to NOT call the overwritten method from the parent class? Probably not

[regal scaffold]

Impossible

That's what abs classes are

I mean

maybe you can override

And not super()

[flint coyote]

Yeah I want to not call the final implementation but just the function in the abstract class

nah I'll show you the problem

[regal scaffold]

Try override and do not super

Oh show

[flint coyote]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[flint coyote]

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

[regal scaffold]

Tag me btw

[flint coyote]

Basically the this.decorate in the Left and Right buttons calls the overwritten version of the extending class. This then sets the buttons again.
I would just need it to reload the page.

Don't you have a second screen? But here you go @regal scaffold

[regal scaffold]

I have 3

And they're all used

[flint coyote]

I see

[regal scaffold]

database in 1, google in 2 and IJ in main

Ok so

Easiest thing to do

[flint coyote]

and I just noticed I don't need a getter and setter on the page

[regal scaffold]

Is set a bool

And define if you do need to super or not

Now, let me show you something

[flint coyote]

the super is not the problem.

[regal scaffold]

I personally don't like some things

        InventoryButton previousPage = new InventoryButton().creator(player1 -> {
            ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.ARROW);
            ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
            meta.setDisplayName("Previous Page");
            meta.setLore(List.of("Click to go to the previous page"));
            item.setItemMeta(meta);
            return item;
        }).consumer(event -> {
            this.decrementPage();
            decorate(player);
        });

Then what are you referring to

[flint coyote]

 if (page != 0) {
            super.addButton(pageSize + 3, new InventoryButton(Material.ACACIA_BUTTON, "§aLeft", null, event -> {
                page--;
                this.decorate();
            }));
        }

This calls the implementation in the child class

I would need it to call the implementation in the same class only

[regal scaffold]

Ohhhh

Ok so

What I did to workaround that

[flint coyote]

I can still do the boolean and ignore the added buttons tho

[regal scaffold]

Is make a protected function to make the button

In the abs class

And in the implementation is where you add the button

[flint coyote]

Yeah you are using a builder

[regal scaffold]

You can probably make a InventoryPageButton class too

And then you can make the button in the abs

And assign the consumer in the implementation

Be careful with page-- and page++

I was showing I did this.decrementPage();

[flint coyote]

Because you probably check to not go negative, right?

[regal scaffold]

Yup

[flint coyote]

I fixed that by not displaying the button to go "left" (or page--) on page 0

[regal scaffold]

Either loop around

Or just not decrease

Oh

Yeah also a good idea

But looping around is fancy

[flint coyote]

that's why there's the if

[flint coyote]

we follow 2 different designs and I don't get how your solution would fix that on my side. I implemented a lock now.
https://paste.md-5.net/yukuhidero.java

[regal scaffold]

Well like I said, you have to call the method directly from the implementation

Or

Override the clickevent

In the implementation

[flint coyote]

But it doesn't matter where I call decorate, it will always call the "highest" overwritten version

[regal scaffold]

make a boolean in the implementation

[flint coyote]

I could fix it by not overriding decorate on the child class at all. Then I would have to override the onOpen

[regal scaffold]

If the buttons are pressed set the boolean to false

Check the boolean in the parent

If it's false, skip and go to the super.parent

default back to true

[flint coyote]

Isn't that the same thing I do now with extra steps?

[echo basalt]

Is it possible to load a world by its UUID?

[regal scaffold]

Didn't you say right now it doesn't work?

[echo basalt]

or is the uuid tied to the actual loaded instance itself

[regal scaffold]

Yes illusion

Same method

[flint coyote]

It does work with the lock I introduced

[regal scaffold]

Then you're set

Sorry I was a bit distracted

[flint coyote]

all good

[echo basalt]

I can't create a worldcreator with a uuid param

[livid dove]

If it ain't broke...

[regal scaffold]

You said get a world

Not make one

[echo basalt]

I said load

[regal scaffold]

Then it's my bad

You can't

[echo basalt]

not loading chunks but the actual world itself

[livid dove]

Uuid ... can't I'd what don't exist

Id

[echo basalt]

like

I get a world, keep track of its UID but I unload the world

I'd like to load the same world

instead I'll have to fucking keep track of its name or something

[livid dove]

Shame?

Jokes aside its likely a no chief

[sullen marlin]

Name the world the same as it's uid

Thank you! I'll try that now.

Surprised it didn't fail the build because of that.

[remote swallow]

reload maven

[kind hatch]

Reload the pom

[remote swallow]

top right

[true perch]

reloaded, same issue

[remote swallow]

reloading should fix that, check it isnt still indexing

[true perch]

Yeah on the bottom right it finished thinking

still red 🤔

[remote swallow]

try reloading it again, the non popup button is in this

[true perch]

Yeah after doing that a few times it's still red

[remote swallow]

just checked online, it appears the version isnt needed there but thats what the error is talking about

@tender shard may know more

[true perch]

After reloading intellij and recompiling, it seems I have a new error! Progress!

[kind hatch]

Means the path in your plugin.yml is wrong.

[true perch]

I have recently changed some file names around, but it does seem that it was the correct path already in the plugin.yml: me.combatborn.realms.Realms

[kind hatch]

No it doesn't

It's not in the player directory

He has the right path, can't think of why it can't find it though.

[true perch]

By any chance would it have anything to do with this file?

[kind hatch]

Is there a different error thrown if the class doesn't extend JavaPlugin?

[true perch]

I recently changed the project name from Realm Plugin to Realms

[true perch]

I'll try.

[kind hatch]

It might have been updated with the project rename.

Might want to check your variables in the pom

[true perch]

Unsure how to fix the issue. If anyone has any ideas please let me know ❤️

[cobalt thorn]

the error says by himself "Cannot find main class me.combatborn.realms.Realms'"

its extended to JavaPlugin?

[true perch]

Yes sir.

[jagged monolith]

?paste your Realms class - Make sure you paste it. Easier to read and formats it better.

[undone axle]

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

[regal scaffold]

Why is

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(String) saying not found

When I just left the server

Even though it's deprecated it should still work correctly

[jagged monolith]

What String are you passing in? Username or UUID

[regal scaffold]

Username

[jagged monolith]

Use UUId

[regal scaffold]

I can't

[true perch]

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

[regal scaffold]

I don't have it

I could have it

But String should still work

[jagged monolith]

If you can get the username, you can get the uuid

[regal scaffold]

It's a command

unban

[jagged monolith]

Show code

[regal scaffold]

        Player target = Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(strings[0]).getPlayer();

This shouldn't be null

If I just left the server 10 seconds ago

But it is, it says not found

And secure profile is disabled

[lost matrix]

Open your compiled jar and check the path

[cobalt thorn]

Hi im making an Api for my plugins, i need to call the getCommand() but i can't find it by using the plugin instance, any solution?

[lost matrix]

This is null as soon as you leave the server

[regal scaffold]

My other solution is to querry all banned players by UUID, Convert to offlinePlayer

And find a match

[kind hatch]

Ok, why use OfflinePlayer when you're object is a normal Player? Just use Bukkit#getPlayer() and it will be null if they are offline.

[true perch]

yikes. there's nothing in there 😬

[regal scaffold]

I need to get the UUID

So I can run the command

It's a /unban <offlinePlayer> by name

[jagged monolith]

This will be null because Player is reference to an online Player, not an OfflinePlayer.

[regal scaffold]

So either I querry all banned UUIDS ( Which is stored ) and check the name of each offline player object

Or idk

[kind hatch]

So just use OfflinePlayer#getUniqueId()

[true perch]

https://paste.md-5.net/udesipezix.cs
Here's the compile log

[jagged monolith]

Yeah, something is wrong with the compiling

[lost matrix]

Why dont you query the banned property by name?

[regal scaffold]

It's stored as UUID

But I did it...

OfflinePlayer target = Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(strings[0]);

This returns the uuid

[lost matrix]

Then create a second table
UUID | LastSeenName

[regal scaffold]

Solved without needing more sql

[jagged monolith]

Can you paste your full build file

[regal scaffold]

Works correctly now

[lost matrix]

Ok but for bigger servers you should not run this command on the main thread.
There is an offline player cache and if your queried name is not in it then you are
doing a ton of IO which could lead to some lag if used too often.

[true perch]

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

[regal scaffold]

Yeah I am aware

But does Getting a single offline player really take that many resources?>

I'm not looping through anything

Just 1

[lost matrix]

How do you compile?

[true perch]

I double click this

[kind hatch]

It'll do some querying in the background to get the player if they aren't already in the usercache.

[regal scaffold]

If they were on the server at some point

Should still be faster no?

[kind hatch]

wtf is this?

Oh it's the plugins tab.

[lost matrix]

So you jar without compiling the classes.
Go to Lifecycle -> install

[kind hatch]

Use the Lifecycle tab

[lost matrix]

Or package

[kind hatch]

I'd use package since install will copy that code to your local maven repo. No need for that unless used by other projects.

[true perch]

yikes. It's saying my api doesn't exist?

[lost matrix]

package will

• compile the classes
• run unit tests
• jar the classes and resources

install will

• package
• put jar into local maven repo to be used as dependency

[jagged monolith]

You should also add the version number to maven-jar-plugin to stop the compile warning

[lost matrix]

You need to install the api so that it gets put into your local maven repo.
Otherwise maven wont be able to find it.

[true perch]

done

[true perch]

at the moment when I make changes to my API I click the "install" button

I currently have the API added as a library in the project

That's the only way I know how to implement APIs. Is there a better way?

[lost matrix]

Only if you create a multi module project

Otherwise you need to install the api every time you make changes to it.

[true perch]

Yeah that's what I'm doing at the moment and I'm perfectly fine with it for sure

My plan is to have a few different plugins using this same API

[lost matrix]

Then you are on the right track. APIs should contain code that can be useful to
any kind of plugin. Like GUIs, Holograms, maybe NPCs, Persistent block data,
formatting utilities, util classes in general etc

[true perch]

Yes. I have a custom item system in particular that I'm very interested in distributing amoungst a few types of server. That way when I transfer the custom item data from Server A to Server B, both servers will know what a custom item is without needing to use the exact same plugin.

I have a few other systems I also intend to add to the API

[lost matrix]

You can also shade other libs into yours to make it a bit easier.
For example:

• Custom block data:
  https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/CustomBlockData

• Anvil GUI text input:
  https://github.com/WesJD/AnvilGUI

• Decent holograms:
  https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/decentholograms-1-8-1-19-4-papi-support-no-dependencies.96927/

• Triumph inventory GUIs:
  https://mf.mattstudios.me/triumph-gui/introduction

Or you create your own:
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/create-a-hologram-library-nms-or-protocollib.590999/
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/#post-4553427

[true perch]

I will be yoinking that inventory gui library. Would you say it's well built?

[cobalt thorn]

its possible to get getCommand() from a plugin instance for an api?

[kind hatch]

As long as the class extends JavaPlugin, then yes.

[lost matrix]

Triumph is decent. But building your own is not too hard either.
You can look at the guide on the bottom. If you dont like that then Triumph
is a good alternative (Examples are in Kotlin tho)

[cobalt thorn]

im making an api for my plugin by using extends it gets called with my plugin class or not and they get registred to my plugin

[lost matrix]

You should not extend your JavaPlugin class

[true perch]

I wrote a built-in gui system for another project in the past. It wasn't very well done but that was over a year ago

Yeah it's just not making sense though

[kind hatch]

As long as you have an instance of your main class that extends JavaPlugin, you'll be able to access #getCommand()

[regal scaffold]

smile have you played around with DisplayEntities already?

[cobalt thorn]

so how can i call the getCommand?

[lost matrix]

Did you add it to your pom?

[regal scaffold]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/923037327578771457/1096280909008875602/2023-04-13_23-47-44.mp4

Next step is clickable, animated words

[lost matrix]

Get the JavaPlugin instance and call getCommand() from it

[cobalt thorn]

in the registerCommands method i have a constructor for the plugin and thats

[kind hatch]

Mmmm, very smooth.

[true perch]

Oh I'm very unfamaliar with maven and this is actually the first API I've ever worked on 😅 I'm not sure how to do that

[cobalt thorn]

i can't find it, code https://sourceb.in/Gm8vZshu0v

[regal scaffold]

It does look smooth doesn't it

I'm pretty proud about that

[true perch]

That is super cool

[regal scaffold]

    public void updatePhase() {
        double time = System.currentTimeMillis() / 3000.0;
        double value = Math.sin(time * 2 * Math.PI) * 0.5 + 0.5;
        double reversedValue = 1 - value;
        double output = value > 0.5 ? reversedValue : value;
        phase = (output - 0.5) * 2;
    }

probably can be optimized a lot

But the effect is pretty nice

What's nice is, I adapted the entities to be able to support Components

Cause that's never getting added...

So I can use stuff like MiniMessages too

[lost matrix]

Your API defines its maven ID on the top of its pom.xml

Use this as a dependency in your other projects

[true perch]

Ohhhh! I'll check that out rn

[lost matrix]

You need to call getCommand() on an instance of JavaPlugin

[true perch]

cool!

[cobalt thorn]

Plugin is already an instance of JavaPlugin

[kind hatch]

Linear Interpolation math might be beneficial here, although what you have now is pretty simple. The only thing that looks intensive is Math#sin()

[lost matrix]

Then use it??

[cobalt thorn]

oh im stupid plugin is different from javaPlugin thanks

[lost matrix]

And another thing:
Never add jars as artifacts on a maven project

Because im suspecting you doing that right now

[true perch]

At the moment I'm not building jars with Artifacts, I did that in the past though for sure haha

[lost matrix]

Yeah but you are adding the jars to your project.
Otherwise your IDE would be completely red, even before building anything.
So remove them

Remove the spigot jar and remove your API jar

[true perch]

Yes I removed the jar from my libraries as soon as you taught me the maven pom.xml trick

[lost matrix]

Alright 👍

[lost matrix]

Because in maven all the jars are located in your local maven repository.
Everything is configured through the pom.xml

[true perch]

Server loaded with no errors!!! so happy thank you a million

[lost matrix]

Nice

[true perch]

I haven't had this much fun programming in a while. I am really enjoying the project I'm working on right now

[kind hatch]

It depends, what kind of info do you need stored?

[true perch]

You can store it in a database or with .yml files

[kind hatch]

Databases are the recommended approach, but yml files are the easiest to get something up and running quickly.

Honestly either way will work, it's just that databases are scalable. Flat files are not.

[elfin atlas]

Yep but from plugin side

[lost matrix]

But at least create one yml file per player
playerdata/<UUID>.yml

[kind hatch]

Efficiency

Because you can load and unload the ones you need instead of everything at once.

[cobalt thorn]

Why in the hologram section not use reflection to make it without using nms library?

[kind hatch]

System memory isn't unlimited.

[lost matrix]

Because reflections are utter garbage

It still uses nms but its much slower and you need a fk ton of extra code.
As well as a rewrite for every other version as well.

[cobalt thorn]

they are helpful for newer version, if you want to make them work for 1.13 to 1.19.4 without problem and rewrite for newer

[lost matrix]

I dont want to bother looking up every obfuscated name of every field and method i use.

[kind hatch]

IMO, if you are dealing with NMS, Abstraction > Reflection.

[cobalt thorn]

if for example, i wanted to use this code is I need to rewrite for every version as I understood?

[lost matrix]

Now that we have mojang mappings i would just create a multi module project
and use the latest implementation for unknown versions.
Has a decent chance of working for upcoming versions. Same chance as reflections.

Even better than reflections actually because you dont get fked if the obfuscation seed changes for no reason

*As long as you dont use CraftBukkit

That is

Because then the package names are fked

[hazy parrot]

Doesn't statistics holds first join. Not sure tho

[cobalt thorn]

if i want to use the code then for me who wants use it for multi versinon like 1.16 and 1.19.4 i can use protocollib

[kind hatch]

Do they even need to change it anymore? They give us the mappings anyways.

[lost matrix]

Probably not

[cobalt thorn]

so for what I understood its better-using packets in case you want to support the vast majority of versions, if I make a plugin in 1.16 it will be the same as 1.19 without chainging

[lost matrix]

If you want to support more versions then use plib

But even then you need multiple modules

[warm mica]

These are the kind of plugins I'd throw out of my server without thinking twice

[jagged monolith]

Bukkit 1.0.0 o.O

[kind hatch]

Need some advice. I have a relative time class that I want to modify to support multiple languages. Class is here: https://paste.md-5.net/xecagupevo.java
I want to have the map keys pull from the language files I already have. The problem is that this is a util class. I don't have a static instance of my main class anywhere. In fact, I've purposely avoided it due to claims of it being bad practice. That being said, it would be nice if I wouldn't have to supply an instance every time I want to use a method.

Should I just cave and create a static instance or is there a better way to handle this?

[jagged monolith]

Firstly, Id recommend not using the bukkit api. Use the Spigot API - Then you'd probably need to make use of ProtocolLib to support multiple versions. Depending what versions you're wanting to support and what you are wanting the plugin to do.

[true perch]

Mojang released their official source code mappings?

[kind hatch]

They have ever since 1.14

[rough ibex]

pretty sure yeah

[true perch]

Wow I'm totally out of it. That's really nice

I hate staring at obfuscated code

[boreal sparrow]

Hey guys, if you cancel a RunTaskLater bukkit task, then it just wont execute right?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[kind hatch]

Depends on when you cancel it but essentially yes.

[misty ingot]

I just realised something

once we get 1.20

i could use display entities to display the memes in the map thingy kinda thingy wingy like i thought

[remote swallow]

Display entities came 1.19.4

[misty ingot]

oh wait what

wat da hec

are you telling me that I have been tricked, fooled and possibly even bamboozled?

[brittle swallow]

For the brewery plugin, is there anyway to make yourself explode after drinking a potion?

like is there a code for that?

[remote swallow]

Correct

[misty ingot]

theres probably an event for drinking potions

just check for your potion

then boom

does anyone know how to check if the item which was clicked (InventoryClickEvent) was in the top inventory exclusively?
there is a method to get the top and bottom inventories but I cant find one to check the position of the item

[sullen marlin]

getClickedInventory ?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryClickEvent.html#getClickedInventory()

[misty ingot]

I see

e.getClickedInventory().equals(e.getView().getTopInventory()) seems to be it

[shadow night]

how do I get the armor value of an entity and how does minecraft calculate damage?

[serene sigil]

can someone help me with dust particle spawning? is there any like template i can use?

[misty ingot]

with dust particle spawning you just grab a default particle, change its color and stuff and make it spawn

nothing too interesting going on with it

[serene sigil]

but there is like this DustOptions class

oh wait, which one is it?

[misty ingot]

yeah

color and size

[serene sigil]

@misty ingot

[misty ingot]

either BLOCK_DUST or FALLING_DUST iirc

[serene sigil]

so i did particle and location, how what?

[misty ingot]

now you can change size and color using DustOptions class

[dire marsh]

ah yes the particle api

the worst thing to ever exist

you always have 0 clue what data particles take

[copper moss]

how do you enable tnt duplication on spigot

pls help

[remote swallow]

tnt duping isnt disabled on spigot

[dire marsh]

block dust is the particle that shows when a block is broken, and falling dust is the sand and gravel particles falling i believe

[misty ingot]

@copper moss #help-server

also its only disabled on paper iirc

[copper moss]

how do you enable it

[remote swallow]

its not disabled on spigot

its only disabled on paper

[copper moss]

shi wrong server

did you know how to enable it on paper

[remote swallow]

one of the files in config/

[vivid cave]

Is it possible to make protocollib stuff but just with nms (intercepting packets and changing them/packet events)

I don't wanna add a whole dependency just for one packet event tbh

[shadow night]

how do I found out how many armor points a entity has? Like the health bar but the armor bar

[serene sigil]

nvm i found out

anyone knows how to spawn a particle line on all six sides of a block?

cuz i really couldnt find out

basically here everywhere

and ofc on the hidden sides too

[eternal oxide]

math in a for loop

[misty ingot]

a bunch of maths i suppose

[serene sigil]

💀

any idea how i can roughly do it?

[eternal oxide]

get the block coords...

calculate every point you want a particle, like x, y + (0 to 16), z

that would do the vertical line at one corner

maybe +/- I forget if the block position is top or bottom corner

you do that for each of the corners for x, y and z

simplest would be add them to a Set (no duplicates), then spawen your particles

[serene sigil]

how to get the center location of a block?

[vivid cave]

Isn't it all .5 ?

[eternal oxide]

you don;t get the center, you get a corner

if you are still talking about particles

[serene sigil]

and how do i get a corner

[eternal oxide]

you get teh block location

it will be a corner

[serene sigil]

but what corner?

[dire marsh]

try it and see ig

[eternal oxide]

always the same

getting the block at 0,0,0 will be a corner

I believe bottom left

[serene sigil]

yes but wheres the corner?

[serene sigil]

oh

[vivid cave]

What particles are those btw ? (To support many many colours)

And thin (like a pixel )

[serene sigil]

redstone / dust

[vivid cave]

Nice, you can give colour to redstone dust particles ?

[serene sigil]

yes u can

[vivid cave]

That's amazing thank you

[serene sigil]

like this

and add it at the end

[vivid cave]

Wow.
Really maybe it's something commonly known but in all these years I didn't know.
It's one step closer to making 3d object holograms I guess.

[tawdry echo]

PotionEffectType.HARM in minecraft is instant damage?

[native ruin]

think so

check docs if not sure

[vivid cave]

Although block displays (with player heads) will probably be even more interesting for that purpose of holograms

[vivid cave]

Thx

[dire marsh]

you can also make the new displays interactable with

they are very powerful

[vivid cave]

Yeah af

One of the best update tbh

[dire marsh]

and they support newlines in text

blessed

[native ruin]

btw is this place also for other things besides logic?

[vivid cave]

I only regret the fact that Armor trims are data driven rather than nbt driven.
Would have loved to customize at least stuff like trim colour rgb from nbt rather than needing a datapack. I was expecting something like leather armour RGB customisation

[lost matrix]

Sure, you can ask design questions and about anything programming related really

[dire marsh]

leather armour has a colour tag already

and supports rgb

[vivid cave]

Precisely what I said yes: I regret that trims aren't as easily customizable

[dire marsh]

ah

[vivid cave]

For trims we can only play with a limited amount of colours (unless using a dp)

[remote swallow]

i thought the colour was resource pack

[native ruin]

its more of a dependency question, here it goes..
ive added the repo and dependency thingy in my pom file (maven) for protocollib and runned it. do i need to do anything else? the spigot page of protocollib said i just needed to run it, but i can't seem to get it to work

[jovial shadow]

hello world

[native ruin]

i do get warnings about overlapping classes and resources

[vivid cave]

It's complicated but basically the trim thinggie inherit from data files which reference palette colours.
However there are a lot of paletted colours in the default palettes, otherwise adding a new palette would be texture pack I think yes

[lost matrix]

Make sure you add the <scope>provided</scope> tag to your
dependency so that is doesnt get shaded in. Then simply compile
using one of the maven lifecycles (pacage or install)

[crude loom]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[native ruin]

scope tag go outside <dependency> tag of what i want to add?

            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        ...
    </dependencies>

[native ruin]

ah like that

mb

[lost matrix]

You should know this because Spigot needs this tag as well.
And one more thing:
When using maven - never add any jars to your project.
Not the spigot jar and not any other dependency.
If you have added artifacts then remove them right now.

[native ruin]

i don't know if this matters but i have a plugin/extention/tool thingy in intellij that does the spigot things for me

[misty ingot]

is there a way to store just a string of data in an item in a menu without having to use nms for custom nbtTags?

[lost matrix]

You dont need to use nms for nbt tags for years now. There is a spigot api for this.

[misty ingot]

how come no one ever talks about it then

do you have any idea how much time I have wasted

now I have even more sympathy for the poor hypixel devs who have to do shit in 1.8 💀

[native ruin]

i think you can find that with a quick search, thats how i found it

[remote swallow]

we do

a lot

most people just know about it though

[lost matrix]

I need some brainstorming. What do you guys think is an elegant way of creating glowing boxes when
using the new display entities? I thought about simply using a block entity and applying a scaled transformation
on it. But the BARRIER block is not visible when rendered (the glow is hidden as well).
Let me know if you have an idea.

[remote swallow]

i would guess glass is your best bet with display entities, otherwise you would need math

[tawny remnant]

Is there any way to break a loop using Bukkit.getScheduler.runTaskLater

[eternal oxide]

Are you certain the glow doesn't show? I know it breaks when using shaders

[native ruin]

so you want like a lightsource?

[misty ingot]

rip 1.13 support with PersistentDataHolder

[lost matrix]

I dont care about math

[lost matrix]

Ive tried using BARRIER blockstates instead. The glow didnt show up.

Otherwise ill probably add a custom ItemStack which has the same dimensions as a block when worn on the head.

Wait... that sparks an idea

I could use an Item display with a barrier item and render it as if it was on a players head

Let me try that

[magic summit]

ist player.spigot().sendMessage(); deprecated?

[eternal oxide]

not in Spigot it's not

[magic summit]

i want to send the player a message in the action bar

player.spigot().sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, new TextComponent(ChatColor.RED.toString() + "#############################")); is this correct?

[lost matrix]

Yeah thats not what i expected...

[dire marsh]

haaha

rip

kinda looks cool though

[remote swallow]

just use like 6 item displays per thing

[misty ingot]

pretty sure it will get really laggy after a while

[lost matrix]

Yeah, no. Ill use one display and apply a transformation on it. Just need to find the right approach.

[remote swallow]

they only start to lag my pc whent heres around 1000 of them

[dire marsh]

less laggy than armourstands

[misty ingot]

are you telling me that Mojang is optimizing their game?

[dire marsh]

performance has been getting better

they massively improved start time in 1.19.4

[misty ingot]

I havent even opened 1.19.4 so i didnt know that

[remote swallow]

no item displays for you

[tawny remnant]

is this cancel(); going to cancel the public void run() ? (I want that)

[lost matrix]

1. Use a for loop

[tawny remnant]

is it going to cancel the bukkit runnable or not is my question

[lost matrix]

It is going to cancel the outer class

So the BukkitRunnable of which run method you are in currently

[remote swallow]

wouldnt you need to task.cancel to cancel the task

[tawny remnant]

bruh

[lost matrix]

Yeah. Just dont use lambdas for this.
There is way too much logic happening for a lambda to be viable

And please: Use a for loop that increments in 5er steps.
If you have to copy/paste any code, then you should stop right
away and think about how to prevent this

[serene sigil]

and how do u like draw a particle line?

[eternal oxide]

there is no line particle

you draw individual particles

at whatever step you want

[lost matrix]

You create a vector and add small steps in a for loop.
On each step you spawn a particle.

[serene sigil]

alr

[remote swallow]

i wonder if its just worth shading jda

[tall dragon]

so weird again

it can find Material.RAW_FISH fine when i type it in, when i compile. nope

any1 know what could be causing this

[lost matrix]

invalidate caches and restart

[tall dragon]

i did

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1096798057242308658/1097114213241077800/image.png

for some reason it also puts 1.13.1 in my libraries when its not even in my pom

[eternal oxide]

wrong dependency order

[young knoll]

Put your spigot dependency first

Some other dependency is providing an old version of spigot

[tall dragon]

ahhhhh

i feel so dumb now

thanks

[lost matrix]

Vault being vault again

[orchid trout]

its probably because the fsh has no eyes

[tender shard]

what was the issue?

[orchid trout]

what is the name of the spigot thread where it teaches you how to fill blocks very efficiently?

[cobalt thorn]

Its possible to make a plugin communicate with another plugin in the same server?

[tender shard]

sure

you just add it to your classpath, e.g. by adding the other plugin to your pom.xml

[cobalt thorn]

I mean like you send a message to it

Dynamically

[tender shard]

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[eternal oxide]

You are not understanding plugins

[cobalt thorn]

I now realized how much stupid i am

[kindred valley]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

I see where the confusion might come from.
In spigot every plugin has a common classpath.
This means you can simply call methods of other plugins
as long as they exist on runtime.

Communication is usually done through apis. One common
component are events. You can simply fire custom events in your
own plugin and others can listen to them.

Other than that you just call methods of other plugins

[tawdry echo]

Item#getItemStack return clone of itemstack?

[pseudo hazel]

idk why it would

[young knoll]

I believe it does

Hence setItemStack

[pseudo hazel]

why is that

why would setItemstack mean that its cloning the itemstack

[young knoll]

Because generally stuff in spigot with setters means the getter returns a clone

[serene sigil]

can you cancel a block breaking sound somehow?

[kindred valley]

Someone had a forum about handling hard threads does anyone have spigot link

[pseudo hazel]

well how else would you set something

regardless of if it is a clone

[lost matrix]

What is a "hard thread" even supposed to be?

[kindred valley]

You have it i remembered

[misty ingot]

            // lore
            List<String> loreList = plugin.items.getStringList(ymlPath + ".item_lore");
            ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
            for (String line : loreList) {
                lore.add(line.replace("&", "§"));
            }
            lore.add(" ");
            List<String> sellLore = plugin.lang.getStringList("item-sell-lore");
            for (String line: sellLore) {
                lore.add(line
                        .replace("&", "§")
                        .replace("{amount}", String.valueOf(plugin.items.getInt(ymlPath + ".sell_price")))
                        .replace("{currency}", plugin.currencyName)
                        .replace("{amount}", String.valueOf(getPlayerItemAmount(player, itemForSale)))
                );
            }
            itemMeta.setLore(lore);

the upper foreach works and adds the lore (it appears on the item)
but all the lore added from the lower foreach loop just does not want to be shown on the item

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-threading-for-beginners.523773/

I got this one

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-on-workload-distribution-or-how-to-handle-heavy-splittable-tasks.409003/

And this for async workloads

[kindred valley]

Ah thanks

[pseudo hazel]

whats in sellLore anyways?

[misty ingot]

heres sellLore and loreList

one works, other doesnt
both are the same

neither makes sense

[serene sigil]

?

[pseudo hazel]

and you can confirm that is does enter the for loop?

[terse ore]

that's client side

[serene sigil]

rip

[rotund ravine]

Cancel break event. Set block to air, drop the droplist.

[young knoll]

Pretty sure the client will still play it

[terse ore]

only 1 way to know

but I think the sound will still be played, I don't think the servers sends a packet telling the client if they broke or not the block

[granite owl]

some weird idea but hear me out:

every item can have a custom skin with a custom model data value right? every item can be a 3D object of technically any size and have 1 stateless animation, for example wynncrafts weapons are usually 3D animated. now if i wanna make a custom mob i can put such an item skin on its head right and have this be the model of my mob which i make permanently invisible. now based on the state of the mob i can change the head items custom model data to represent a different animation right? as such use the custom model data mechanic to have custom mob skins?

[terse ore]

that's partially how mythic mobs works iirc

[granite owl]

iirc it works with an armorstand per limb which can cause distored modells

on high lag

[young knoll]

Display entities are better

Since you can have them all riding a single entity

[granite owl]

hm

ill check that out

[granite owl]

thats a new mechanic right?

to allow players to summon a dummy entity without native behavior?,

as such nothing has to be overriden?

[tawny remnant]

why does the entity not shoot the fireballs towards the player?
https://paste.md-5.net/uhinixebul.cpp

[granite owl]

shouldnt that be new ArrayList<Player>()

like ur using a templated class

[tawny remnant]

that doesnt answear my question

[hazy parrot]

It's redundant

[hazy parrot]

It would help if you add some debugging

Souts to check ifs or whatever

[tawny remnant]

believe me i do not need to

only the fireball part doesnt work

[tender shard]

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

for 79 tyicks you are looping over all players in a 30x30x30 area around yoru entity and adding them to a List. Lists allow duplicates but you only ever use the first one added.

[tawny remnant]

bro i literally described what is not working

[eternal oxide]

bro stop with the attitude, you do it daily

[tawny remnant]

and you send ?learnjava to every person

[misty current]

is it possible to convert .schem files into .nbt files?

[echo basalt]

.schem files are stored as nbt

so you can just rename them

[misty current]

they compress data in a different way afaik

[echo basalt]

gzip for both

[misty current]

unless they've changed it when they've renamed them to .schem from .schematic

[tender shard]

1. don't call me bro, I'm not your pal, buddy
2. I didn't see you explaining what is not working except that you said it doesn't work

and I only send ?learnjava to people who I think would benefit from reading those tutorials

[tawny remnant]

that was a message to ElgarL

sorry

[tender shard]

ah ok

[eternal oxide]

I very rarely send learnjava to anyone

[echo basalt]

I haven't worked with fireballs but I remember them being very picky about their internal yaw and pitch

you can set their velocity to something but they'll trail back

[tawny remnant]

and I dont know how "doesnt work" is similar to "entity doesnt shoot fireballs to the player"

[tender shard]

yeah anyway, what's wrong with your current code? what happens to the arrows, if not launched at players?

are they going in the wrong direction?

do they not spawn at all?

etc etc

[echo basalt]

found that vid

[tender shard]

just saying "it doesnt work" is useless. you have to tell us what is actually happening
