[pseudo hazel]

how did you do that before

[quaint mantle]

or at least thats my idea

private JavaPlugin arenaAPI;

    public ConfigManager(JavaPlugin plugin) {
        this.arenaAPI = plugin;
    }

public void createConfig() {
        this.file = new File(arenaAPI.getDataFolder(), "arenas.yml");
        if(!this.file.exists()) {
            this.file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            this.arenaAPI.saveResource("arenas.yml", false);
        }

        this.configuration = new YamlConfiguration();

        YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(this.file);

    }

I know I should rename the variable but I want first to make it work lol

[zenith gate]

well once you make it once itll be easy to manipulate into multiple sessions. use the world as a template, copy it, create the session, wants someone wins, teleport them out, and delete that world.

[pseudo hazel]

what doesnt work about that

[quaint mantle]

I get a NullPointerException, but I think I just saw where's the problem, let me try to fix this and I'll tell you

nah, can't fix it @pseudo hazel but I know where's coming from the error

[tall furnace]

Ok so I have a problem.
I've got a Listener, and am listening for the PlayerToggleSneakEvent. Other Listener classes are working perfectly fine. Here's my listener
`public class GameListener implements Listener {

@EventHandler
public void onSquat(PlayerToggleSneakEvent e) {
    e.getPlayer().sendMessage("Aha, you squatter you!");
}

}and here's where I register it (along with other listeners)@Override
public void onEnable() {
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new BannerListener(this), this);
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EditListener(), this);
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new GameListener(), this);
}`

Now the really unusual thing here is that the events in the BannerListener and the EditListener are working just fine. I've verified that I am exporting to the correct location, that I can modify code and have it work in the server, but anything in my GameListener class is simply not being called. I've registered the event, I've implemented the listener, and I've used the annotation. All my marks are checked. No compilation errors, no errors in console. Idk what's going on here.

[quaint mantle]

as you can see in my API main class I have this in the onEnable:
configManager = new ConfigManager(this);

and I was using in my main plugin the ArenaAPI.configManager.createConfig() so I was using the API instance instead of my main plugin instance

[pseudo hazel]

put your onEnable in your api constructor

[severe folio]

you arent storing that config after its loaded

loadConfiguration returns the config

FileConfiguration myConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(myConfigFile);

[raw prairie]

Kot fuck

[quaint mantle]

thx that's fixed but will not fix my initial issue (I'm testing something rn)

[severe folio]

np, only read that far tho so i didnt read ur initial problem yet

[raw prairie]

Are there any tutorials for using the spigot API with kotlin?

Right now on youtube theres only a setup tutorial

[tall furnace]

In case it got missed ^

[quaint mantle]

ok thanks it seems to be everything working correctly now

thanks again for helping me ^^

[severe folio]

check your imports. i see no reason for it to not work

[raw prairie]

Bump

[zenith gate]

would it be an eventhandler to do something based off of time? to make a mob attack someone no matter how far they are away.

[compact haven]

what

you mean a scheduler @grave kiln ?

omfg

I’m so sorry

[raw prairie]

Bump

[compact haven]

@zenith gate

[zenith gate]

Kind of. my goal is for every 50 minecraft days spiders will attack every single person no matter how far away they are for the duration of the night.

[compact haven]

literally just search “spigot api kotlin” but, as a kotlin developer, spigot development with kotlin sucks ass

[dense geyser]

is there any known list of strings that can be sent into PacketPlayOutCustomPayload? wondering what's possible with it

[tall furnace]

Imports have been checked, nothing out of the ordinary (don't see how there could be, tbh).

[compact haven]

pretty sure anything can? It’s for server -> modded client communication I believe

[severe folio]

the only thing i wouldve thought of wouldve been a conflicting eventhandler annotation (which is why i said to check imports), but other than that i literally see no reason for your code not to work

[regal scaffold]

Hey guys

Where the knowers at

[remote swallow]

the knowers of what

[regal scaffold]

Wanted to say a good bye for now, wanted to thank you all for helping so much learning MC dev

[compact haven]

@gray narwhal add another event in there that’s more common like a chat event and see if it’s the event itself that’s broken instead of the listener

[regal scaffold]

I was hired as a full time full stack dev so gonna be leaving mc development for now

[compact haven]

I fucking hate my life

how can discord tags be so ass

[remote swallow]

where at

[zenith gate]

Goodluck man

[compact haven]

@tall furnace I meant to tag you

[severe folio]

this is why i reply instead

[compact haven]

yeah I really need to do that lmao

[regal scaffold]

@remote swallow @tender shard @young knoll @wet breach @tardy delta @echo basalt

Sorry if I’m missing some, but thank you for always answering the weirdest of questions, got me to where I am now. Take care!

[regal scaffold]

Local company, 6 figures

[remote swallow]

damn

[compact haven]

W

[severe folio]

holy shit, congrats

[tall furnace]

I put the sneak event there for that purpose; I was initially listening for a custom event firing from another plugin I made, and all of THAT seems to be working. Just the listening from this plugin isn't. I'll try another.

[tall furnace]

Niceee

Grats, have fun with it

[regal scaffold]

My first job as a web dev

Thank you

And thanks again spigot

[compact haven]

ew you’re doing frontend

[regal scaffold]

Nope

[tall furnace]

ikr

[regal scaffold]

Backend

[tall furnace]

oh

[regal scaffold]

I hate frontenis

Api

[compact haven]

oh thank god

[tall furnace]

Not PHP I hope

[regal scaffold]

Nah

[tall furnace]

nasty stuff

[regal scaffold]

Phthon django

[severe folio]

what language/framework?

[compact haven]

you said full stack so I thought u meant both

[severe folio]

ah

[compact haven]

okay that’s still detestable

[regal scaffold]

It’s not as bad

But so far it’s nice

[tall furnace]

It's 6 figures tho

[severe folio]

I see nothing wrong with php (im a laravel user)

[compact haven]

you’re high

[regal scaffold]

Django is like the only decent alternative for python

[tall furnace]

Even after building 3 projects in PHP, I hate it.

It's so ugly

[regal scaffold]

Flask is too small

And they wanted python as language so not many choices

[compact haven]

PHP wasnt even meant to be a language in the first place

[regal scaffold]

Wasn’t really my choice either

[severe folio]

I wouldnt know lol, im not updated on PHP lore

[compact haven]

either they have existing tech or they read that python is good somewhere online

[regal scaffold]

Existing

[tall furnace]

Something only python users say

[hazy parrot]

@EventHandler public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) { e.getPlayer().sendMessage("AHHHHH YOU TALK SO LOUD"); }
Seems to have worked with the chat event. Not sure why the others aren't, but at least I know the listener is functioning.

Is there a way to confirm that an event was called other than by listening for it?

[compact haven]

Perhaps add an EventListener LOWEST and ignoreCancelled parameter

Only way to know for sure is to inject a listener first in the static list pretty sure

[tardy delta]

🥰

[tall furnace]

I do check whether it is cancelled, and these two plugins are the only two on the server so I would know of anything was cancelling it.
Where the event is called: https://paste.md-5.net/fiqecekedi.java
The custom event: https://paste.md-5.net/okomekujoq.java

[tardy delta]

what

[remote swallow]

I just thought of a great way to kill a server. Listen to every event on lowest priority and unregister all events

[tall furnace]

Good luck getting it posted on SpigotMC lol

[remote swallow]

Wouldnt post it anywhere i just thought of it

[compact haven]

okay besides the section codes for colors and the illogical comment, and probably the weirdest tabs, it looks fine

[severe folio]

I may be wrong (been like 3 years since ive used custom events, my memory of it is... well its shit), but shouldnt there also be a getHandlersList function that returns the same as getHandlers?

[compact haven]

uh actually yes

how did you not get an error in console for that

There’s definitely a message in console

(unless the event api changed since I used it as well)

[tall furnace]

Uh... not sure. It wasn't one of the "unimplemented methods" to add that I got an error for.

[tall furnace]

I always use section codes for non-configurable colors because it takes up WAY less space and makes my code cleaner.

[tall furnace]

Opened the declaration of an existing Spigot event; sure enough, they have that method.
`@NotNull
@Override
public HandlerList getHandlers() {
return handlers;
}

@NotNull
public static HandlerList getHandlerList() {
return handlers;
}`

Thanks for the tip; will return with a definitive result.

Ayyyyyy my squatter code worked XD
And yes, that did solve my problem. Thanks for the tip! Wonder why it's not automatically added in with the other unimplemented methods?

[severe folio]

Probably because it's static..?

[quiet ice]

Because there is no contract at the JLS level

Java (the language) does not know that it needs that method

[tall furnace]

Ah, duh. Thanks.
Now that I'm sufficiently humbled, time to get back to work. Thanks again for your help, and yours @compact haven.

[high pewter]

I'm wanting to use IntelliJ IDEA build artifacts to easily test, debug and hot-swap my plugin. However, I'm wanting to use aikar's commands library, so I need to shade that into the JAR. I am using Maven, and when I use mvn package, the JAR works fine. However, if I use the build artifact, even though I have checked Delegate IDE build/run actions to Maven, it doesn't seem to use Maven and the JAR produced is not shaded. How can I hot-swap a shaded JAR?

[opal juniper]

just use maven build and set the output location

also - dont

[high pewter]

wdym also - dont? Don't what?

[opal juniper]

hotswap

[high pewter]

How come?

[opal juniper]

close the server and restart. If you are using /reload or plug(man/woman) it can introduce issues

[quiet ice]

they are talking about JVM-level hotswapping

[high pewter]

I'm not using /reload or plugman, I'm using IntelliJ's own hot-swapping which lets you know if you make incompatible changes

[opal juniper]

oh okeee

[quiet ice]

If you can, use ACF as a standalone plugin

Otherwise you can add it on the runtime classpath, but for building public releases you can use outside your IDE you'd need to use maven or gradle.

[high pewter]

What do you mean by adding to the runtime classpath, sorry?

[eternal oxide]

use the libraries entry in plugin.yml

[high pewter]

I'm happy to use Maven for public releases, though

[high pewter]

Oh right, I'm happy to do that for testing I suppose, but I just would have thought IntelliJ would use the same workflow for both test and public artifacts

[quiet ice]

Under eclipse you can add external jars in your run config. Under IJ there should be a similar solution

[tardy delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/525185409693515787.webp?size=48&name=eclipsethonk&quality=lossless

[high pewter]

Ohh right ye, I know what you're on about now. I'll try that!

[hard socket]

what is better? making my Utils class all static or interface/abstract?

I have multiple Utils classes btw

[eternal oxide]

If it it truly a Utils class (stateless) then static

[hard socket]

stateless?

[eternal oxide]

doesn't require initializing ^

[hard socket]

its like this

[eternal oxide]

Not a utils class

[hard socket]

I will be using it in a lot of classes

[eternal oxide]

remove all teh statics and make it a singleton

[hard socket]

alr thanks I am trying to enhance my code

can you review my code in github and tell me what should I do?

[remote swallow]

#1100941063058894868

[hard socket]

oh alr thanks anyways

[quaint mantle]

How can I import NMS classes using gradle? I've tried running java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev latest --remapped in my project directory and then compileOnly 'org.spigotmc:spigot:1.19.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT' in my build.gradle dependencies, but I can't import any classes.. What should I do?

[remote swallow]

for remapped you need to use paperweight or another 3rd party special source plugin

[rotund ravine]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[remote swallow]

you missed that its gradle, that guide doesnt work for gradle

[rotund ravine]

Meh

[shadow night]

how do I load a resource pack from code?

I have one in my resources folder but idk how to load it

[eternal oxide]

The client has to have your resource pack not your plugin

[opal juniper]

if you have it in your resources folder you are gonna need to host a webserver on the server to deliver it to the client

[shadow night]

._. oh gosh

ig I can do that

[opal juniper]

or just, yaknow, use dropbox or sommin

[rotund ravine]

Something with a direct download is needed

So no dropbox

[opal juniper]

dropbox works for years

[shadow night]

I don't wanna rely on random file hosting services so Ig

[opal juniper]

i used it

[shadow night]

hmm, right, my bungee hosts a webserver so I should try

so, nothing happens

[quaint mantle]

I'll switch to maven then.. Where should I run the BuildTools java command? In the plugin directory?

[eternal oxide]

?nms

[quaint mantle]

[storm scaffold]

Is there a generic way to tell if a PlayerInteractEvent causes something to happen? E.g. if it is a villager interaction, door, container or anything?

[eternal oxide]

no

[storm scaffold]

just not at all? It just cannot be done? I'm trying to find out when a player is using a goat horn

[eternal oxide]

thats not generic, thats specific

[remote swallow]

oh just check if their main hand is holding a goat horn and they right click air or a block

[storm scaffold]

I mean trying to ignore everything else

[storm scaffold]

But if you click a chest or something it doesnt use the horn

Or if you click a villager it doesnt, but a mooshroom it does

[remote swallow]

is there something that would break if the horn doesnt go off?

[storm scaffold]

I'm trying to make a custom effect that triggers when you use a goat horn

[remote swallow]

might need to listen to sound packets or whatever they're called, might be wrong

[storm scaffold]

is there no way to do it other than sound packets?

[eternal oxide]

You could try if the target is an entity or the Material#isInteractable() the horn won't sound

[shadow night]

https://paste.md-5.net/uyuvozimuy.java for some reason the playerJoin and playerChangedWorld events aren't triggered. I put them in the same paste but they're in different files actually

[quaint mantle]

Which jar should I use for the nms? I am guessing the remapped obf one, but I just want to make sure:

original-Test-1.0.jar
Test-1.0.jar
Test-1.0-remapped-obf.jar

[shadow night]

what should I debug? I did everything I could do

[upper vale]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Hook-into-PlaceholderAPI#setting-placeholders-in-your-plugin

[upper vale]

Test-1.0 and -remapped-obf should be the same thing with most build configurations but yeah

Why? which part

setPlaceholders takes an offline player as an argument

Or if the plugin parses the player name separate you can just include that in the placeholder I guess

You need to do the first steps https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Hook-into-PlaceholderAPI#first-steps

Not really

[high pewter]

Earlier I was asking about how to fix my attempt at hot-swapping Maven and I tried all your suggestions but I couldn't get it working. I feel like it would probably make more sense for me to just ask the best way to do it rather than why what I'm doing won't work, especially since there seems to be a variety of ways to do it. So how should I test/debug/hot-swap a shaded Maven plugin?

[quaint mantle]

can i need get playername.tostring ? for insert to database or only p.getname fine ?

[remote swallow]

uuid

[quaint mantle]

bro don't hate me but

[remote swallow]

getName should be fine then

[hazy parrot]

[quaint mantle]

THIS

😄

i have minecraft

rlyy

i liked this emoji

[agile anvil]

Probably head to #help-server . The current channel is reserved to spigot and bungee development

Then you should probably look at their wiki

[high pewter]

Actually, I forgot to try this, but I'm trying it now. When you said "If you can", did you mean if a plugin version exists or if I am personally able to? Because I can't seem to find a plugin version and the JAR provided by Maven doesn't even have a plugin.yml

[tardy delta]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Hook-into-PlaceholderAPI

[quiet ice]

The former. So there probably isn't a standalone plugin out there at which point you cannot really try that route

[high pewter]

Ah dang 😕

[grim oak]

Hi, I've made custom events in my plugin and was wondering how I handle those events from another one of my plugins? Do i just need to import it kinda like a library?

[quiet ice]

Do you even have the handler list and everything set up in the first place?

If so - yes. Though depending on your setup you may need to invoke ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal or mvn install beforehand

[grim oak]

Ye

[quaint mantle]

why doesnt this work

no errors in consol

just simply doesnt work

whole class if yall wondering what this is

[tardy delta]

?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.

[quiet ice]

Superperms is always a bit iffy

But are you really sure that the permisison exists in the first place?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[quaint mantle]

but thats literally all i know. I debuged as far as possible and its that one line that doesnt work

what more do you want me to tell uou

[quiet ice]

Is the issue in the filter or in the teleportPlayer method?

[quaint mantle]

filer

filter

[shell robin]

Do you think a chat control plugin should have features other than profanity protection, clearing chat, locking chat?

[tardy delta]

so the players dont have that permission?

[quaint mantle]

they do

i tripple checked

[tardy delta]

and teleportPlayer gets called?

[quaint mantle]

no it doesnt because the filter doesnt work. No players survives the filter. No matter if they have the perm or not

[severe folio]

probably suiff like spam prevention, regex detection (for links and stuff), etc.

[quaint mantle]

or at least thats my interpretation

[shell robin]

ooh you're right

[eternal oxide]

when and where are you calling teleportPlayers() ?

[quaint mantle]

oh dont get me wrong teleport playerS gets called i checked with a consol out print

[quiet ice]

Also, does it work if you are in OP?

[eternal oxide]

when are you calling it?

[quaint mantle]

just on command rn

[eternal oxide]

how are you assigning the permission?

[quaint mantle]

i just assigned the permission through luckperm rn because im testing around

the web editor

[eternal oxide]

then you either typed teh permission wrong or there is code you are not showing which is relevant

[severe folio]

couldnt you just filter(...).collect().forEach(...) or does that not make any difference?

[tardy delta]

why would you collect

[severe folio]

idk eveywhere i see for this sorta thing collects before looping through

(i never really use this myself so i wouldnt know lol)

[quaint mantle]

nvm i figured it out. While it did trigger the teleport player it for some reason stoped while loading the config but also didnt trwo an consol error

ima try to figure out why that happens now

thx for the help tho

spoon me for fix this

[ocean marsh]

Hey guys can some one help me drm rules...
My plugin was just took down and I don't know how to comply with the rules

I have been working on this plugin for over two year so I would be really glad that some one can help me

[quaint mantle]

omg db master writing

[quiet ice]

Just put it through proguard but there isn't much you can DRM/Obfuscate

[echo basalt]

drm is stupid anyways

[ocean marsh]

btw it's a premium plugin

[quiet ice]

even then not much can be done

[quiet ice]

bruh. The first time I touched a DB was last week. And even then I didn't do any java integration

[echo basalt]

damn I expected more of you

[quiet ice]

but what is the query? From what I know this looks like it's missing a few keywords

Hey, I would never have touched one if it wasn't because I am forced due to school

[quaint mantle]

wait i will show u

SELECT * FROM players.playerstats WHERE name ?

wait will send

code

[dense geyser]

name = ?

[quaint mantle]

        PreparedStatement statement = getConnection().prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM players.playerstats WHERE name ?");
        statement.setString(1, name);
        ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();

        if (result.next()){
            int level = result.getInt("level");
            statement.close();
            return new Stats(name, level);
        }
        return null;
    }```

[dense geyser]

change it to WHERE name = ?

[ocean marsh]

they took down my plugin and I want to comply with the rules...
I have a way to remove access from the plugin is this the issue ?

[quaint mantle]

i do with preparestatement

[quiet ice]

uh, most likely

[dense geyser]

no the actual statement itself, you missed the = before the ?

[quiet ice]

especially if it requires an internet connection

[dense geyser]

it should be SELECT * FROM players.playerstats WHERE name = ?

[hazy parrot]

getConnection().prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM players.playerstats WHERE name ?"); => getConnection().prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM players.playerstats WHERE name = ?");

[quaint mantle]

setstring isnt set player name ?

[quiet ice]

As I said, there is almost nada you can do in terms of DRM and obfuscation

[hazy parrot]

it just replaces placeholder (?)

[quaint mantle]

i will try ur method 1m

[quiet ice]

Also, be very aware that tools such as Recaf exists to remove your DRM within minutes if people really wanted to

[hazy parrot]

also it doesnt matter, but why select * if you are getting just level

[dense geyser]

you're gonna blow his mind

[quaint mantle]

ah

mb sry

[dense geyser]

alrighty in the silence ill ask my quick question

whats the bungee equivalent of a configurationsection

[quiet ice]

The best way to prevent that is to make your plugin rather uninteresting/unappealing to reverse engineer. So ironically don't obfuscate or hide anything because people that try to do nefarious stuff get a kick from reverse engineering. If there isn't anything to RE they won't bother doing anything

[dense geyser]

you should put a comment in some of the obfuscated files saying "if you're trying to reverse engineer this, you need to re-evaluate your life choices"

[ocean marsh]

I didn't offuscated it

[quiet ice]

But you probably did hide something

[ocean marsh]

I use intellij and compily the plugin that's all

I have multiple time opened the plugin from online web site to check some errors

[quaint mantle]

sry guys i was ask this question but im forgot

so i know static abuse is bad and all, but does anyone know why static abuse is bad? what issues does it cause?

[young knoll]

It limits testability and tightly couples your code

[dawn hazel]

so basically is makes it harder to change code later on?

[young knoll]

Mhm

[ivory sleet]

Static is the easiest source that cause code symptoms in principle

I think static abuse is a bad term, it entirely depends on what you’re doing, but more often when someone refers to static abuse they mean you probably cluttered every variable in ur code with static or sth like that (I like to call it under engineered design choice or similar along those lines)

Edit:
It limits testability, reusability, often thread safety also (hermmmm SimpleDateFormat fuck you).

Choice of static implies you write a type poor system thus can’t take advantage of generics, which means clumsier usage if Optional, generic functional interfaces, Streams and so on.

It can also makes your code less defended since everything becomes more accessible since its global now. This makes it so that one part of the code that breaks easily when another part of the code is touched since depending on more classes becomes more susceptible and tangible. But also makes a shit ton of stuff break when changing small stuff just.

I could go on more about it but I think this should be convincing enough.

[young knoll]

If your code is displaying code symptoms please see a code doctor

[ivory sleet]

Sounds static

[remote swallow]

i remember when i didnt know what static was so would just see any static i saw static abus

[zenith gate]

How can I check if the current world's day ends in a 0?

[ivory sleet]

The last digit is 0?

[zenith gate]

yes

[young knoll]

day % 10 == 0

[zenith gate]

like 140 or 50

private static void currentTime() {
        long worldTime = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld("world").getFullTime();
        if (worldTime % 10 == 0) {
            System.out.println("The day has ended");
        }
    }

So this would work?

[young knoll]

Iirc the time is in ticks not days

So you need to divide by 24000

[zenith gate]

oh shit you right

if (worldTime / 24000 % 10 == 0) {
            System.out.println("The day has ended");
        }

That'll do it?

[worldly ingot]

I'd be careful with that lol

[zenith gate]

Why's that? lol

[worldly ingot]

Depends on order of operations. (worldTime / 24000) % 10 to be safe

[young knoll]

BEDMAS doesn’t cover modulo

[zenith gate]

PEMDAS! I thought i was rid of you

[remote swallow]

[young knoll]

And now we have 3 different ones

And now 4

[remote swallow]

Brackets
Powers/Indicies
Division
multiplication
addition
subtraction

[worldly ingot]

Regional terminology and order of operations aside, it's just more clear to read is all

At least your intentions are clear, that is

[zenith gate]

Well I am always eager to learn eligible code.

[ivory sleet]

I think its even an item in effective java

[zenith gate]

Im just trying to create an event that would happen every 10 minecraft days.

[young knoll]

But we still need the real answer

Where is modulo in the order of operations

[worldly ingot]

It's a division

Only instead of getting the product, you get the remainder

[young knoll]

BEDMMAS

[worldly ingot]

Sorry, "the quotient", not "the product". If you want to get technical

[drowsy helm]

Theres like 10 different variations

[young knoll]

And none of them convey that multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are grouped

[remote swallow]

they are?

[young knoll]

See what happens when you don’t go to school

would setting an entity to be aware to true, make them globaly angry? meaning they will start to attack you no matter how far away you are?

anyone know why this

    @EventHandler
    public void updateHead(InventoryClickEvent event) {

        Inventory inv = event.getClickedInventory();
        if (event.getSlotType() == InventoryType.SlotType.OUTSIDE || event.getCursor() == null || event.getCursor().getType() == Material.AIR)
            return;
        ItemStack item = event.getCursor();
        NBTItem nbtItem = new NBTItem(item);
        if (!nbtItem.getBoolean(NBTConsts.GLITCH_ITEM))
            return;

        if (!nbtItem.getBoolean(Consts.playerHead))

            return;
        }

        inv.setItem(event.getSlot(), Heads.updateHeadWorth(item));

    }

is now doing this (worked perfectly fine last night) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/809570302572625990/1112893725887184986/2023-05-30_12-01-45.mp4

updateHeadWorth does this btw just incase you think it could bethat

    public static ItemStack updateHeadWorth(ItemStack item) {

        OfflinePlayer player = Bukkit.getServer().getOfflinePlayer(((SkullMeta) item.getItemMeta()).getOwner());

        double worth = HeadHunterMain.getEco().getBalance(player) * Config.get().Percent_Of_Player_Value;


        String[] loreLines = new String[get().Player_Lore.length];
        Map<String, String> placeholders = new TreeMap<String, String>() {{
            put("%headhunter_player_worth%", String.format("%,.2f", worth));
        }};
        for (int line = 0; line < loreLines.length; line++) {
            loreLines[line] = ContentUtils.color(Placeholders.placeholder(get().Player_Lore[line], placeholders));
        }

        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();

        meta.setLore(Arrays.asList(loreLines));

        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        NBTItem nbtItem = new NBTItem(item);
        nbtItem.setFloat(Consts.playerHeadWorth, (float) worth);
        item = nbtItem.getItem();
        return item;

    }

well now its just doing it visually

[grand otter]

is there a tutorial to add apis with gradle?

[remote swallow]

like maven, add the repo and the dep with compileOnly if its a plugin api or implementation if its a library

[grand otter]

What is the difference between libraries and plugins?

[young knoll]

Plugins run as plugins

Libraries need to be shaded into your plugin

[remote swallow]

libraries you would shade and include inside your plugin, plugin api would be a plugin that you access, either designed for that or just as a way to access stuff relating to a plugin

[grand otter]

Its just an actionbar thing

I assume its an api

[remote swallow]

send the link

[grand otter]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/actionbarapi.40021/

[remote swallow]

that would be a plugin api, in its current state you would need to mvn install it or use a file dep, ill see if i can find a better one

[grand otter]

which is easier?

[remote swallow]

file dep

[grand otter]

okie, so Im pretty sure I need to go to project settings -> libraries?

[remote swallow]

file dep can be done through gradle and is better to be done through gradle

i just found this online which actually has a repo it just needs gradle conversions https://github.com/TheLuca98/TextAPI/blob/master/README.md

[grand otter]

ok, so how do I do that?

[remote swallow]

iirc its compileOnly file("path")

[remote swallow]

this is also fairly lightweight

[grand otter]

why cant I use my own one?

[remote swallow]

you can by all means

[grand otter]

ok

so I have the jar, how to I add it

[remote swallow]

with gradle it should be like this

[grand otter]

thats it, just add it to build.gradle?

[weak meteor]

use BountifulAPI

[remote swallow]

is thejar the plugin or something else

[weak meteor]

ig its vbetter idk

[grand otter]

the plugin

[remote swallow]

add depend: [ActionBarAPI] to your plugin.yml, and then also add the plugin to the server

[grand otter]

I did the plugin.yml thing, but what else do I have to do?

[remote swallow]

just need to add the jar to the server plugins

[grand otter]

ok, but when I use the method, I get this error: error: package me.Senneistheboss.abapi does not exist
import me.Senneistheboss.abapi.ActionBarAPI;

I imported it too

So your saying I just need to add it to my pluin.yml, and then add it to my plugins folder? Thats it, nothing with build.gradle or my editor?

[weak meteor]

yah you have to

[weak meteor]

°

what's this error?
Code> https://paste.md-5.net/inipipedur.java

[worldly ingot]

Look at your getConfig method and your load method

What do you notice being different?

(you actually are trying to define two load methods, one of which is incomplete)

[weak meteor]

getConfig isnt void

[weak meteor]

goddamn

right

[grand otter]

have to do what?

[worldly ingot]

Well, sure, but specifically,

getConfig() {
load {

[weak meteor]

damn

im

stupid

asf

[worldly ingot]

but yeah, that aside, you have two load methods lol

[weak meteor]

i checked on it

look

main: https://paste.md-5.net/henoniwaja.java
Config: https://paste.md-5.net/kihabigeje.java
Impl: https://paste.md-5.net/uziwojixod.java

idk if im using abstract classes the way are supposed to, i only use it to create a certain of DataType for the proyect lol

[worldly ingot]

You're using them fine but I think in this case specifically you're likely better off using just a concrete class that accepts an argument via a constructor

The only variable thing in your subclass (Messages) is the string

[restive thunder]

Anyone know of I plugin that I could use that would allow me to enchant items that blast players into the air and other custom things?

[worldly ingot]

In the future, #help-server. But you're probably looking for something like EcoEnchants

There are free alternatives as well. A quick Google for "Spigot custom enchantment plugin" will bring up plenty

[restive thunder]

Thank you

[weak meteor]

well

ig yes

but this works

[worldly ingot]

It does. It's just a little wasteful is all. Generally you would use an abstract class for a type that shares functionality with numerous subclasses, but the subclasses add more specific methods

(When I say wasteful, I don't mean wasting memory or resources or anything. Just wasteful design-wise)

[weak meteor]

lol

thanks, Choco

[worldly ingot]

public class Config {

    private FileConfiguration config;

    private final Plugin plugin;
    private final String name;
    private final File file;

    public Config(Plugin plugin, String name) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        this.name = name;
        this.file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), name);
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public File getFile() {
        return file;

    public FileConfiguration getConfig() {
        if (!file.exists()) {
            Console.send(CC.translate("&c&l[Pantech] &f" + name + " didn't exist! Creating it..."));
            plugin.saveResource(getName(), true);
        }

        config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
        return config;

You get the same sort of thing just out of a single class

public final class YourPlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    private final Config messagesConfig = new Config(this, "messages.yml");

}```

Im managing IPs like with strings bc i dont know at all what package to use i type IP in Intellij and there so many options, what do u recomend?

[velvet cove]

Is there someone here that got the Java SE17 certification?

[worldly ingot]

Like the education certificate?

[velvet cove]

Yeah, the one you get from oracle

[worldly ingot]

That's something I've honestly forgotten about but should probably do

[grand otter]

how do I add the dependency to build.gradle?

[weak meteor]

Its a jar?

[velvet cove]

@worldly ingot Oh wait I asked it in the wrong group my bad, I'll ask it in general

[wary mountain]

for some reason this dosent work. (supposed to check if user has item in their main hand when the event triggers. does anyone know whats wrong here?)

[worldly ingot]

getItemInUse() probably isn't what you want

getKiller().getInventory().getItemInMainHand() perhaps

[wary mountain]

ah thanks ill try that

[worldly ingot]

Just as a note by the way... I'm assuming you're extending ItemStack given that you're doing an instanceof check. This won't ever work. You'll always get an internal ItemStack instance, even if you passed in a custom ItemStack type into setItem(), setItemInMainHand(), or some other method to set items

If you want to keep track of a special item, you'll have to do it either by name, lore, or preferably, its PersistentDataContainer

[subtle folio]

Can I asynchronously copy a world?

or does it have to be on main thread..?

[grand otter]

yep

[wary mountain]

oh thats actually a mistake that i didnt notice. its not extending ItemStack, the code there is just wrong and i never noticed

no wait

nevermind it is

[young knoll]

Thou shall not extend Bukkit classes

[wary mountain]

items is a hashmap

[young knoll]

(Mostly)

[wary mountain]

Item is my own interface

so im checking if that Item object is an instance of BulldozerItem @worldly ingot does that make sense?

[grand otter]

Its a jar, what do I do?

[weak meteor]

check on google "Add libs folder to gradle"

[wary mountain]

hm still dosent work

[worldly ingot]

Oh, my mistake

I see the Map#get() call now

Uncertain how well ItemStacks will play as Map keys though

[wary mountain]

it works fine considering i have other working items using my system

[worldly ingot]

Then disregard

[wary mountain]

this is one of the working ones*

[worldly ingot]

Unconventional but if it works, it works. Just keep this in mind if things fail to work in the future. I'd still personally opt to look into the PersistentDataContainer for a more consistent means of tracking custom items

[wary mountain]

didnt know that existed when starting this lol

[worldly ingot]

Just custom NBT 🙂

[wary mountain]

not sure why but for some reason the issue is that its doAction is never called

odd since other items work completely fine with the same logic

maybe the event listener is wrong?

[grand otter]

What does that mean

[high pewter]

I can identify if an Entity is passive (for the most part) by checking if it is an instanceof Monster, but can I do something similar given an EntityType? I'm trying to spawn a random entity and want to control the chance of the entity being passive or not so need to identify which entity types are considered passive

[echo basalt]

uhm great question

you can call EntityType#getEntityClass and do a little reflection to see if it inherits Monster

[pallid oxide]

should work async, cant see any reason why couldnt

[echo basalt]

you can just like

save the world

make a file copy async

Hello guys, im going thru a lot of changes in my code trying to load some configuration from a file.

public Map<String, String> getRoleMappings() {
        Map<String, String> roleMappings = new HashMap<>();

        // Retrieve the "roles" section from the configuration
        ConfigurationSection rolesSection = DiscordRoles2.getInstance().getConfig().getConfigurationSection("discord.roles");

        System.out.println(rolesSection);

        if (rolesSection != null) {
            System.out.println("RoleSectionNoNulo");
            // Iterate over each role in the "roles" section
            for (String key : rolesSection.getKeys(false)) {
                ConfigurationSection roleSection = rolesSection.getConfigurationSection(key);
                if (roleSection != null) {

                    // Retrieve the role-id and group values for each role
                    String roleId = roleSection.getString("role-id");
                    String group = roleSection.getString("group");

                    // Add the role mapping to the map
                    roleMappings.put(roleId, group);
                }
            }
        }

        System.out.println("RoleSectionNulo");

        return roleMappings;
    }

This is my role mapping trying to get a section from my config.

discord:
  bot-token: BOT_TOKEN
  guild-id: 'GUILD_D'
  roles:
    - role-id: 'ROLE_ID'
    group: GROUP

For some reason the roleSection variable comes null when i try to load that section...

[echo basalt]

yeah so

Your formatting's wrong

Or well, your code doesn't match what the formatting's for

You want to get a map list in this case

[elder quartz]

But i dont get to formatting since roleSection does not even get close to populate

[echo basalt]

Well

one:
  two:
    three: "Hello!"

makes one and two sections

and three as a string inside the two section

one:
  two:
    - three: "Hello!"
      four: "there!"
    - three: "Hello again!"
      four: "whatever"

makes one a section and two a maplist

[elder quartz]

So i got to load the discord section and then make a maplist with the two, right?

[echo basalt]

Yeah so roles in your case is a maplist

So you call section#getMapList

loop through the list

and get the values from the map

[elder quartz]

Ooh, got you, let me try that out

I had hours trying to fix this.... made it work, thanks! ❤️

[echo basalt]

[small holly]

To whoever said "use Lua" for my mask effects thank you so much lol I have managed to do it

[quaint mantle]

Not sure if only applies to Minecraft display entities but for some reason I cannot manage to make a display entity to do a full rotation with interpolation

I am expecting it to do a 360 rotation around the Y axis but maximum angle is 180 per rotation. So I thought about splitting the rotation in two interpolations but then I figured out that in second interpolation it reverts back (lets say it first rotate clockwise on first interpolation but on second interpolation it rotates counterclockwise so it never completes the full rotation...)

This is my code (took from the following thread https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-do-you-manipulate-display-entities.599735/)

BlockDisplay call = decorator.call();
call.setInterpolationDuration(20);
call.setInterpolationDelay(-1);
Transformation transformation = decorator.transform()
                    .verticalRotationLeft2(90)
                    .build();
call.setTransformation(transformation);```

TransformationBuilder (class that holds verticalRotationLeft2)
https://paste.md-5.net/laxuwaguge.java

[echo basalt]

what the fuck

something I just discovered

you can declare a class inside of a method

public void doWhatever() {
    class Entity {
        public int x;
        public int y;
        public EntityType type;

        public Entity(int x, int y, EntityType type) {
            this.x = x;
            this.y = y;
            this.type = type;
        }
    }

    new Entity(0, 0, EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);
}

this is valid syntax

[glossy venture]

yeah

[smoky anchor]

I know about this, never seen it aynwhere tho

[echo basalt]

saw it in minecademy source code

they did a little math evaluator and declared the parser class in the eval method

[drowsy helm]

virtually no usecases where you use that over a private class declaration

just makes the method more complicated imo

[glossy venture]

can other methods use the class as well?

or is it scope bound

[drowsy helm]

yeah bound to the method's scope

but if its your own code and you're declaring it private anyway who cares lol

[buoyant viper]

boy java is the The language ever

[astral pilot]

How do you create a customhead from a website

[quaint mantle]

Here I am rotating it 90 degrees over the Y axis. Whenever I attempt rotating it 360 degrees, it does nothing lol. It stops working at 180 degrees.

[astral pilot]

 private void generateHeadFromURL(String url, SkullMeta headmeta) {
        GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);
        byte[] encodedData = Base64.encodeBase64(String.format("{textures:{SKIN:{url:\"%s\"}}}", url).getBytes());
        profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", new String(encodedData)));
        Field profileField = null;

        try {
            profileField = headmeta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException | SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        profileField.setAccessible(true);

        try { profileField.set(headmeta, profile); }
        catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
    }

This doesn't seem to work

I'm trying to get the head from this url https://namemc.com/skin/04991de0b7103657

[agile anvil]

What isn't working?

[quaint mantle]

What error are you getting?

[delicate lynx]

you can only pass skin links from minecraft's cdn

[quaint mantle]

Paste stacktrace if possible, use md5 paste

[astral pilot]

no error

[delicate lynx]

not namemc

[quaint mantle]

Why are you not returning the GameProfile?

[agile anvil]

Then you'll have to debug, check what is not working, or at least at what part

[astral pilot]

I don't need to return it

[quaint mantle]

?

Method is misleading

generateHeadFromURL

[astral pilot]

nvm i found the problem

the url i provided was wrong

[astral pilot]

how

[quaint mantle]

Why are you using fields?

What????

[agile anvil]

Omg

[astral pilot]

u mean this? GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);

[agile anvil]

No, why are you using reflection?

[quaint mantle]

Your method should return a GameProfile... Then with a new method, prolly with a new class, pass the URL and the SkullMeta and use the previous method.
I recommend failing fast in the method that fetches the GameProfile

[chrome beacon]

Copy pasted code from the internet

[quaint mantle]

In case it cannot find the player texture...

Now if you don't know any about it, there's an already working, great library regarding getting skulls

https://github.com/deanveloper/SkullCreator

[astral pilot]

no need to return a gameprofile

it automatically applies the changes

into headmeta

[agile anvil]

It's not necessary, but what Pro is telling is that is way much cleaner and "safer"

[quaint mantle]

Just look for SkullCreator#itemWithUrl

[astral pilot]

cleaner?

how

[quaint mantle]

Yes!

Like this case

[agile anvil]

Look your code 🤣

And look the lib's one

[quaint mantle]

You did need us to read your code in order to find an issue. It's a 100% possible that you are able to read your code, but not a 100% possible that average programmer can read your code.

Don't make it harder for us. Also, it will help you in the future whenever you need to read it again (trust me you'll improve)

I know from first hand writing that bad back in the day and then having to check what the heck I did and wasting a couple minutes figuring out what I did 🤷🏻

[astral pilot]

i dont get it how is creating

separate

methods

makes it cleaner

if i were to return GameProfile

that means

ill need to do the rest of the code

somewhere else

[quaint mantle]

I will explain it simple

[astral pilot]

and the method name generateHeadFromUrl() seems a pretty straightforward name

[agile anvil]

applyTextureToHead would make more sense

Because generate implies you would return a newly thing

[quaint mantle]

The idea is to split algorithms in steps in a way that you can give each step a name

Lets say that you have a Drone class. Now you are in charge to create a method that makes it fly/move to a specific location.
Instead of writing all logic inside the specific method, you can split it in multiple methods so you can later reuse any of the methods.

Even better if you share many of these steps in a library.

[astral pilot]

but i don't see a point of splitting those methods if its just a

small code

[quaint mantle]

Paradigm

Thats why

[astral pilot]

yea but its pretty small

[agile anvil]

This is modularity. It allows many things:

• your code is way more readable by you but also by others
• you maybe won't need to comment your code
• it is easily debuggable and fixable
• if you want to change a feature it's quick and efficient, error free

[astral pilot]

why make another one and make your code bigger

[quaint mantle]

I mean, your way works

[agile anvil]

Nowadays, we don't seek for something to work only. We seek for something maintainable

[astral pilot]

unless some part of the logic will be reused somewhere.

[agile anvil]

What if the GameProfile class changes tomorrow? You'll have to rewrite the whole thing even though the "URL" stuff doesn't

[quaint mantle]

A perfect example is the Material enum

It's not going to be an enum anymore

[astral pilot]

good point

well thanks anyways ill look forward into those

but i guess for now imma stay with my approach

[agile anvil]

Great, we say that not specifically for this code you shared, but for all your future codes. At first it's hard and may seem illogical, but this is a great advice for your future works and it will become 100% logical soon

You'll see that in most of the code you may find in GitHub etc

[sour folio]

How would i make is sp when you close a gui it gives the items in the gui to the player?

[livid dove]

So was mucking around with a way to find chunk coordinates faster than "are coordinates in chunk X".

int chunkX = (x < 0) ? (x - 15) >> 4 : x >> 4;
int chunkZ = (z < 0) ? (z - 15) >> 4 : z >> 4;

If you already have the chunk x and z's (some Api's give the coordinates rather than the chunks themselves for... reasons) if you right shift 4 bits you essentially divide by 16 right?

So if x is negative, - 15 (to account for x -1 , z-1 starting at -1,-1) , but either way, right shift 4 bits and boom, you've now got the current X and Z coords of the chunk.

As its an int calc, it always rounds down.

Boom, easy check of chunk coordinates based off location X and Z coordinates

[agile anvil]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryCloseEvent.html
Use this event and manage somehow to check the current item (use a map, or check item in Inv, ..)

[sour folio]

Ty

[agile anvil]

I didn't get the -15 for negatives

[livid dove]

If you are in coordinate -1 , 0 what coordinate are you in?

for chunks

[agile anvil]

0, 0 ?

Mmh

Got it ahah

[livid dove]

hehe

[agile anvil]

I didn't saw it that way, that's great thx for sharing

How does the Location#getChunk work?

[eternal night]

Returns you the loaded chunk the location is part of

[agile anvil]

Didn't know it was agregation of chunk

[shadow night]

https://paste.md-5.net/uyuvozimuy.java for some reason the playerJoin and playerChangedWorld events aren't triggered. I put them in the same paste but they're in different files actually

[native ruin]

What would be the best way to add alot of different commands and command arguments?

[agile anvil]

Are you sure your logger works ? Try the system.out.println to be sure

[shadow night]

it worked all previous times I debugged

[echo basalt]

Make sure the listener is registered

After the logger is initialized

[livid dove]

Build a framework based around HashMap<String,Command> where "Command" is its own abstract class.

You can then write classes that extend that abstract, have a "perform" or "execute" method and then add all the commands to the map onEnable and, when a command is called, if the respective string is found in the arguements, boom, it performs that command via the onCommand function literally just having "commandHashMap.get(args[0]).perform()"

[echo basalt]

Ew no not a map

[livid dove]

Wtf do you mean ew no not a map? If boi is about to deadass straight face say switch case ur about to catch these hands

[echo basalt]

do you really think I write commands like that

hell no

Using a map like that is a very low-level approach and will like

become a pain if you want to do anything remotely complex

[livid dove]

define "complex"

[echo basalt]

for example /message <player>

[native ruin]

I don't actually I'm really bad with commands

[livid dove]

Why is that even close to complex?

[native ruin]

Any recommendations?

[echo basalt]

Because with your hashmap example you'd need to input any player name etc

[native ruin]

Acf, got it

[livid dove]

right...

[echo basalt]

No I inject in the command map

for tab completion and all

[echo basalt]

mans got the fancy uml

[livid dove]

Because its stinky

Check mate

[echo basalt]

I just repurposed my scripting parser to work on commands

lol ok

[native ruin]

Chat listener for commands 💀

[echo basalt]

at work we just do this

and then it does its predictions based on whatever

I just did whatever came to mind

[shadow night]

I tried it and nothing, I even set the load attribute in my plugin.yml to STARTUP and nothing changed at all

[echo basalt]

show me where you register the listener

[shadow night]

the main class is in the paste too

[agile anvil]

Are you sure the plugin loads ?

[shadow night]

yes

all plugin functions work, all the other events

just these ones

[eternal oxide]

playerjoin and playerchangeworld fire just fine

[shadow night]

when I join nothing happens

nothing in console

[eternal oxide]

then post your actual code not bits and pieces you think are relevant.

[shadow night]

like everything?

[eternal oxide]

do you have it on git?

[shadow night]

no, but I can put it there

[eternal oxide]

would be easiest

[shadow night]

yeah, wait a minute

[grave kayak]

I'm trying to create a plugin that has a prompt for players to enter their desired name for a custom tool. I want the players to be able to use hex codes when making the name for their tool but I cannot seem to get it to work. does anyone know how I can achieve this ?

[smoky anchor]

Show us what you already have

And tell us what exactly is not working

[grave kayak]

                        if (hasEnchantedEmeraldBlock) {
                            ItemStack elytraCopy = new ItemStack(Material.ELYTRA);
                            if (elytraCopy != null) {
                                ItemMeta elytraMeta = elytraCopy.getItemMeta();
                                if (elytraMeta != null) {
                                    for (Map.Entry<Enchantment, Integer> entry : enchantments.entrySet()) {
                                        elytraMeta.addEnchant(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue(), true);
                                        elytraMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', toolName));
                                    }
                                    elytraCopy.setItemMeta(elytraMeta);
                                }
                            }``` 
when i enter the code in game "&#f4d508&lʜᴏᴇ &#ffad0f&lᴏꜰ ᴘ&#ff803b&lᴏᴛᴀ&#ff4e63&lᴛᴏ ᴘ&#ff198d&lʟᴏᴡ&#ea17b6&lɪɴɢ" it just comes up as is shown here. i know it is possible because of plugins like epicrename but i just dont know how to get it to work

toolName is what I want to use hex codes on

[smoky anchor]

I do not think the function tralslateAlternateColorCodes can take in hex, you'd have to parse that string yourself

[eternal oxide]

isn't it ChatColor.of for hex?

[ivory sleet]

It can

&x&F&F&F&F&F&F would be white

Very cursed

[smoky anchor]

Well yes, but not in the way he wants
&#rrggbb

[ivory sleet]

Yes but it can parse hex tho

Which is what you initially said, picking on ur words a bit now but yea

[grave kayak]

rip, im wondering how plugins like epicrename have the functionality to do that through their /rename command though

[agile anvil]

It's quite easy with a simple regex

[blazing ocean]

how do I do a delay/sleep in a BukkitRunnable? i'm trying to do a countdown and that countdown is in a bukkitrunnable

[astral pilot]

How do I do this with onTabComplete()

https://imgur.com/a/710ZdQv

[eternal oxide]

ok first comment is your config will nto work on new installs.

[shadow night]

wdym

[eternal oxide]

you have a Field set to getConfig() which causes it to load before saving the default

[shadow night]

oh, I see

I'm gonna change that

[eternal oxide]

set teh field after you call saveDefaultConfig()

[agile anvil]

&(#[0-9aA-fF]{6,6}) would lovely work

[shadow night]

yeah, okay

[astral pilot]

anyone?

[agile anvil]

Just don't, you'll have to use Brigadier which is a pain

[astral pilot]

Brigadier?

[agile anvil]

The Mojang command system

[eternal oxide]

other than that, your code looks perfectly fine

[shadow night]

I thought the same, but the two events just won't work for some reason

[astral pilot]

ah so bukkit doesn't have support in it?

[eternal oxide]

They definitely work I use them myself.

[shadow night]

but why do they not work for me

[eternal oxide]

Although I can;t vouch for 1.8

[shadow night]

it's still weird

[eternal oxide]

clean install to your server

delete your jar and it's directory

[shadow night]

hmm

[agile anvil]

Use that : https://github.com/JorelAli/CommandAPI

[eternal oxide]

You don;t seem to have a ResourcePackManager in functions

if it really doesn't exist your build will fail

[shadow night]

I forgot to remove it lol

[eternal oxide]

ah you set it excluded when you pushed to git

an dcooldowns

[shadow night]

yeah, it shouldn't be used at all

it's some useless code I tried to make and then just removed it

but forgot to remove stuff

[eternal oxide]

Clean that up and I bet it works 🙂

[shadow night]

I should probably delete unnecessary stuff instead of just leaving it there

[eternal oxide]

yep

[shadow night]

I'm not spigot or something to deprecate everything instead of deleting

for some reason, it wouldn't prompt me, but when I set it to always download it downloaded?

[eternal oxide]

use a different set

one that rquires you to accept or you get kicked

you can;t force a player to accept, only kick if they don't

[shadow night]

I don't want it to force players, I want them to be able to choose

but it doesn't even prompt

[eternal oxide]

if it doesn;t prompt it thinks you already have the pack

[shadow night]

I've seen some servers do when they open a book and you can choose but that will cost me extra time

I don't think this belongs here, but I think my player wants to shoot themselves

[dusty herald]

[lucid gazelle]

else if (dmgCause == ENTITY_EXPLOSION) {
    Entity explosionEntity = getDamager(e);
    Entity exploder = getDamager(explosionEntity.getLastDamageCause());

        if (projectileShooter instanceof Player) {
            teamCheck(e, player, (Player) projectileShooter);
        }
    }
}```

i'm trying to check if a player can indirectly harm team member
this works for end crystals, but not for TNT minecarts

what am i doing wrong?

the getDamager() casts the EntityDamageEvent to EntityDamageByEntityEvent and gets the damager

[tardy delta]

no java 17?

[lucid gazelle]

i am on java 17

[tardy delta]

why not using instanceof Player x then

[lucid gazelle]

the player var is the one who took the damage

[eternal oxide]

why are you mixing explosions and projectiles?

[tardy delta]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-pattern-matching-instanceof

[lucid gazelle]

i already have a seperate check for projectiles alone

else if (dmgCause == PROJECTILE) {
    Entity projectile = getDamager(e);
    if (projectile instanceof Projectile) {
        ProjectileSource projectileShooter = ((Projectile) projectile).getShooter();
        if (projectileShooter instanceof Player) {
            teamCheck(e, player, (Player) projectileShooter);
        }
    }
}```

i'm trying to check if an explosion was caused by a projectile shot by a player

sort of like shooting snowballs on an end crystal to explode it and harm another player

[peak depot]

Maby then send your whole code

[lucid gazelle]

but weird this is, it works for end crystals but not for tnt minecarts

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[tardy delta]

if (event.getDamager() instanceof Projectile projectile && projectile.getShooter() instanceof Player shooter)

[lucid gazelle]

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

[lucid gazelle]

wait, so this was just so i don't need to cast my damager entity to (Player) again and again, but how does that solve my original issue tho?

[lucid gazelle]

this

[eternal oxide]

I'd start by cleaning up the code. Use a switch (dmgCause)

make it easier to read and debug

switch (dmgCause) {
case ENTITY_ATTACK:
case ENTITY_SWEEP_ATTACK:
  //code
  break;

case ENTITY_EXPLOSION:
  //code
  break;

case MAGIC:
  //code
  break;

case PROJECTILE:
  //code
  break;
}```

[lucid gazelle]

ahh ok

[eternal oxide]

you should also test the event is an instance of EntityDamageByEntityEvent before blind casting

[lucid gazelle]

private Entity getDamager(EntityDamageEvent e) {
        if (e instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent entityEvent) {
            return entityEvent.getDamager();
        }
        return null;
    }```

here's my updated code: https://paste.md-5.net/iwexenutof.java

[eternal oxide]

much more readable

now you can easily add debug messages to see what fires when a tnt minecart is blown up

[tardy delta]

blowing up things that early in the morning?

[lucid gazelle]

Entity explosionEntity = getDamager(e);
                Entity exploder = getDamager(explosionEntity.getLastDamageCause());
                if (exploder instanceof Player playerExploder)
                    teamCheck(e, victim, playerExploder);
                if (exploder instanceof Projectile projectile && projectile.getShooter() instanceof Player projectileShooter) {
                    teamCheck(e, victim, projectileShooter);
                }
                break;```

the exploder returns null for some reason

when it should be Arrow

[eternal oxide]

probably because it will be a VehicleDamageEvent not an EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[lucid gazelle]

oh

[eternal oxide]

vehicles are a bitch

half finished API

[lucid gazelle]

lmaoo

i can just make a getVehicleDamager() method then

[eternal oxide]

just need another instanceof check in yoru method and return the damager of the vehicle event

in getDamager()

if (e instanceof VehicleDamageEvent)

[lucid gazelle]

oh that works too

[eternal oxide]

I actually like that getDamager wrapper. I may use it myself

[lucid gazelle]

cannot cast 'org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent' to 'org.bukkit.event.vehicle.VehicleDamageEvent'```

wait what

ide error

[eternal oxide]

yeah, the pain of the Vehicle API

you may have to specifically exclude tnt minecarts and also listen to the Vehicle damage event

[lucid gazelle]

wait somehow Vehicle.getLastDamageCause() returns an EntityDamageEvent

i can just get it from then then no?

[eternal oxide]

you can try

However I think it will be lost.

it will be off into the vehicle api

test if it's a vehicle and try

I'm pretty sure you are into the issue I found long ago.

[lucid gazelle]

nvm it's still null

[eternal oxide]

yep, the issue is a Vehicle should override the getLastDamageCause() to return a VehicleDamageEvent

but it doesn;t, it returns an empty EntityDamageEvent

This is where teh Vehicle API breaks down

[lucid gazelle]

wait but then i would have to see if the tnt minecart has players within its blast radius, and then teamCheck for each player?

[eternal oxide]

The issue is getting the player who triggered the minecart. that data is lost

[lucid gazelle]

wait how?

[eternal oxide]

This is the "missing" part of the Vehicle API

[lucid gazelle]

wait, the VehicleDamageEvent isn't even called when shot with a flame bow

[sour folio]

                        if (hs.getSpawnedType() == EntityType.PIG)```  why does the code after the of statement run even if the spawnertype is a different type?

[tardy delta]

are you using {}?

[eternal oxide]

I'm not suprised. vehicles are bad

[sour folio]

i am

i didnt add it

to the message

[lucid gazelle]

is there a way i can get a list of all events fired when i do smth?

i can test which events are fired, and listen to that

[eternal oxide]

You will get an EntityDamageEvent when it's shot (probably)

There should be a VehicleDamageByEntityEvent btu there isn;t

it was wrapped into the VehicleDamageEvent

but that never gets saved as lastDamager

[lucid gazelle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/vehicle/VehicleUpdateEvent.html
what's this supposed to be?

[eternal oxide]

You could do a workaround using the PDC

[lucid gazelle]

actually i might've found a fix
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityCombustByEntityEvent.html

didn't knew this existed

[sour folio]

                        if (hs.getSpawnedType() == EntityType.PIG) {

why does the code after the of statement run even if the spawnertype is a different type? Its so annoying

[eternal oxide]

There is no of in the code you posted

[sour folio]

wdym

[tardy delta]

if

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/594643029994897408.webp?size=48&name=kek&quality=lossless

[sour folio]

Ther is an ‘if’

[eternal oxide]

ah

[lucid gazelle]

thing is even if i get the player who shot it, how will i check if the players in blast radius are in the same team or not

[tardy delta]

i know that the default spawn type is pig so idk if the server is aware of the actual type

probably or there wouldnt be a method for that 💀

[sour folio]

they are

[eternal oxide]

your damage event from explosion

[sour folio]

Arnt they?

[tardy delta]

are you even sure its a dif type

[sour folio]

Sure

[tardy delta]

why am i seeing pig then

[eternal oxide]

I'd suggest in the ignite event add the attacking players UUID to the entites PDC

[lucid gazelle]

uhh, i don't understand lol

[eternal oxide]

That way in your damage event you can check for a PDC value and instantly know that Entity was attacked by a player

[lucid gazelle]

ohh, so assign a key to the minecart with the player name/uuid?

[eternal oxide]

in teh ignite event, check if a tnt minecart. if it is and it was shot with a flaming arrow, get teh shooters UUID.toString() and put on teh tnt entity PDC

[lucid gazelle]

ah got it

lemme test it rq

[eternal oxide]

then in teh damage event under explosion you just have to check to see if there is a PDC entry, grab it, get teh entity it belongs to and you have yoru damager

[dusk apex]

@brave sparrow usless

[hazy parrot]

[smoky anchor]

I just lurk in here.
What prompted this ?

[eternal oxide]

you could do it really simply, without modifying your code

well minorly

in your getDamager method you check for a PDC entry, grab it and return Bukkit.getEntity(UUID.fromString(pdcEntry)

then add a listener for the ignite event

in there if the entity is a TNT minecart you store the attackers uuid in its PDC

[remote swallow]

Im guessing its something todo with mineplex

[visual laurel]

Bump 🥲

Anyone know how to fix this??

[lucid gazelle]

@EventHandler
public void onMinecartIgnite(EntityCombustByEntityEvent e) {
    if (e.getEntityType() != MINECART_TNT) return;
    if (e.getCombuster() instanceof Projectile projectile && projectile.getShooter() instanceof Player projectileShooter) {
        PersistentDataContainer cartData = e.getEntity().getPersistentDataContainer();
        cartData.set(new NamespacedKey(main, "shooter"), PersistentDataType.STRING, projectileShooter.getUniqueId().toString());
    }
}```

```java
if (explosionEntity.getType() == MINECART_TNT) {
PersistentDataContainer explosionEntityData = explosionEntity.getPersistentDataContainer();
String shooterUUID = null;
if (explosionEntityData.has(new NamespacedKey(main, "shooter"), PersistentDataType.STRING))
    shooterUUID = explosionEntityData.get(new NamespacedKey(main, "shooter"), PersistentDataType.STRING);
if (shooterUUID == null) return;
Player shooterPlayer = Bukkit.getPlayer(UUID.fromString(shooterUUID));
teamCheck(e, victim, shooterPlayer);```

i did this instead, not sure how i could implement the PDC getter in getDamager()

i could always add another parameter boolean isMinecart

[eternal oxide]

you have an entity in getDamager()

[echo basalt]

man pdc can get messy like that

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

it's the rest of it thats rubbish

using the entity you get teh pdc

[echo basalt]

oh shoot my pdc wrapper only works on items

anyways https://paste.md-5.net/ewazibidon.cs I'd make something similar for entities

clean up the code a bit y'know

[eternal oxide]

also create your NamespacedKey as a Field in teh class. no need to create it every time

[lucid gazelle]

yea i got that

but the issue is this

how would it differentiate between those

[eternal oxide]

no need to change anything in there from teh original code

from this https://paste.md-5.net/iwexenutof.java

only modify the getDamager method

the explosionEntity.getLastDamageCause() does return an EntityDamageEvent.

its just not an instance of EntityDamageByEntityEvent

because Vehicle

so instead of returning null you do your PDC check on e.getEntity

returning yoru shooter

[lucid gazelle]

wait so when the tnt minecart is exploded, it fires an EntityDamageEvent but not an EntityDamageByEntityEvent?

[quaint tapir]

event.setDroppedExp(0); event.getDrops().removeAll(event.getDrops());

the mob still drops it's natural drops

anyone know how to stop that?

[flint coyote]

Does it still drop xp?

[quaint tapir]

nope

[flint coyote]

try clear

event.getDrops().clear()

[eternal oxide]

no when you getLastDamageCause() it gives you an EntityDamageEvent, justr a crap one.

one sec

[lucid gazelle]

private Entity getDamager(EntityDamageEvent e) {
    if (e instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent entityEvent) {
        return entityEvent.getDamager();
    }
    PersistentDataContainer explosionEntityData = e.getEntity().getPersistentDataContainer();
    String shooterUUID = null;
    if (explosionEntityData.has(shooterKey, PersistentDataType.STRING))
        shooterUUID = explosionEntityData.get(shooterKey, PersistentDataType.STRING);
    if (shooterUUID == null) return null;
    return Bukkit.getPlayer(UUID.fromString(shooterUUID));
}```

[eternal oxide]

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

or close

no need to null check. use getEntity() and it will be null if no match exists

[sage patio]

[PlaceholderAPI] Failed to load expansion .... Identifier is already in use.
any idea

[lucid gazelle]

wouldn't UUID.fromString() throw an exception if the string is null?

[eternal oxide]

yes, but there is no way the string would be null if it's present

[lucid gazelle]

oh yea

[eternal oxide]

thats just your IDE bitching at you 🙂 Because it's stupid

to silence yoru IDE you can wrap in a Objects.requireNonNull or some crap

[tardy delta]

getOrDefault to avoid two lookups :)

[eternal oxide]

you could, just have to provide a valid uuid

easier to just do two lookups 😉

I seriously hate the space bar on this new Ducky keyboard. It constantly bounces

I never use them except when doign tech support

telling the end user to press teh windows button makes support easier

many years ago when they were introduced we used to install programs to disable them as they kept tabbing you out of games.

teh and ; instead of '

As you get older your fingers move slower and don't bend as much.

can i control player vanilla level from database or configfile ?

[eternal oxide]

I'm betting a missing command in plugin.yml

[nimble oxide]

Missing command? O.o, it's the event that doesnt work??

[eternal oxide]

a missing command would exit your onEnable early, thus no event registered

[nimble oxide]

What??

Spigot has an enabling process
