[chrome beacon]

sort of like how arrows get stuck on the player

[rough drift]

that's actually quite hard

[quaint mantle]

not really actually

just make them ride the entity

[hushed spindle]

ill just make it so the arrows drop as items when they hit a dummy

[chrome beacon]

Never said it was easy :p

[lavish cliff]

guys i have a issue with maven

but i don't have this (import / dependecy) in my plugin

[storm crystal]

Might look good but code might be jank

Cosmetics is subjective

[dry hazel]

looks like something lombok would spit out

make sure you have the latest version of it, a supported compiler and a compatible jdk

[storm crystal]

Also looks pretty similar to hypixel lol

[hushed spindle]

my indicators?

i wouldnt know i havent played on hypixel lol

[storm crystal]

It is p much hypixel

Lol

[glad prawn]

he is just lying

[storm crystal]

Huh

[pseudo hazel]

the code quality is also subjective

[storm crystal]

But performance and scalability isnt

[pseudo hazel]

maybe, but both of those are hard to measure accurately

[storm crystal]

Yall didnt have no problem to tell me how scalable my code is so make ur mind 🤷‍♀️

[hushed spindle]

i was going more with the noita-style damage indicators honestly

[pseudo hazel]

i mean you aint wrong about that 😅

[hushed spindle]

i mean you know what programmers are like lol

[proud badge]

wait so uh if I have a database lookup for on block break event and I use an external thread for the database lookup, what if someone for example uses like haste 2 on a bunch of blocks, does that open a bunch of threads at the same time? (my server has 3 threads)

[hushed spindle]

we like to correct people and tell people they are wrong even if their implementation works perfectly fine for them

i could post the code for that damage indicator and there will always be people saying its wrong or how many mistakes it has

granted, it absolutely does have lots of little mistakes and looks terrible, but thats besides the point

[hushed spindle]

why do you need to do a database lookup every time someone breaks a block

and cant you just use async tasks

[proud badge]

to check if the block is natural with CoreProtectAPI

[proud badge]

Aint an External Thread and Async the same thing?

[hushed spindle]

yeah but you probably dont have to implement multithreading like that yourself

[proud badge]

so uh getServer().getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(this, () -> { is this async or is this multithread

[hushed spindle]

also you can probably do it the other way around, i apply a little persistent data tag to blocks that have been placed and see if blocks are natural or not in that way

[lost matrix]

This runs on a different thread

[proud badge]

ok cool

getServer().getScheduler().runTask(this, () -> { and this puts me back to my main thread?

[hushed spindle]

yes

[lost matrix]

Right. Btw, this is technically async, but on the main thread.

[hushed spindle]

are you planning to modify the blockplaceevent by the way

[proud badge]

ok and if I want to save data for example isBlockNatural boolean inside of the thread do I need to use AtomicBoolean?

[proud badge]

you mean setCancelled?

or what

[lavish cliff]

ty i fixed

[hushed spindle]

for example yes

[proud badge]

no

I just need to save a HashMap and send a chat message

[lost matrix]

Not if its effectively final. So a variable

public void someEvent(SomeEvent event) {
  ...
  final boolean natural = ...;
  getServer().getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, () -> {
    // natural can be used here
  });
}

can be used in other scopes

[proud badge]

ok but can I access the natural variabale in getServer().getScheduler().runTask(this, () -> {
(main thread)

[lost matrix]

HashMaps are not thread safe. So either use a ConcurrentHashMap to access directly from inside the other thread, or use
a normal HashMap and sync back using another runTask()

[lost matrix]

If its final then you can use it in any higher scope you like

[proud badge]

na sorry thats not what I meant I forgot, I dont need a hashmap in my other thread I just need a boolean

            if(!event.isCancelled()) {
                boolean containsBlock = false;
                Material[] blockedBlocks = {Material.DIRT, Material.CAVE_VINES, Material.GRASS_BLOCK, Material.TALL_GRASS, Material.GRASS, Material.NETHERRACK, Material.OAK_LEAVES, Material.SPRUCE_LEAVES, Material.JUNGLE_LEAVES, Material.BIRCH_LEAVES, Material.DARK_OAK_LEAVES, Material.CHERRY_LEAVES, Material.ACACIA_LEAVES, Material.MANGROVE_LEAVES};
                for (Material blockType : blockedBlocks) {
                    if (blockType == material) {
                        containsBlock = true;
                    }
                }
                if (containsBlock == false) {

                    List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.getInstance().getAPI().blockLookup(block, 2147483647);
                    if (lookup != null) {
                        boolean hasPlaced = CoreProtect.getInstance().getAPI().hasPlaced(playerName, block, 2147483647, 0);
                        boolean hasRemoved = CoreProtect.getInstance().getAPI().hasRemoved(playerName, block, 2147483647, 0);
                        for (String[] result : lookup) {
                            CoreProtectAPI.ParseResult parseResult = CoreProtect.getInstance().getAPI().parseResult(result);
                            String lookupPlayer = parseResult.getPlayer();
                            if (!lookupPlayer.startsWith("#")) {
                                if (!hasPlaced) {
                                    if (!hasRemoved) {
                                        doAlert.set(true);
                                    }
                                }

                            }
                        }
                    }


                }
            }```

right now its atomic from yesterday but ill change it

[lost matrix]

You should really try to reduce this nesting to 2 nests at max.
This can be achieved by using early escapes and a bunch of additional methods.

Try to also crop your methods length

[proud badge]

will that cause issues? the method length

[lost matrix]

It makes your code horribly dirty and hard to read

[lost matrix]

  @EventHandler
  public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    // This is an early escape, if the player is not an op, we don't need to do anything.
    if (!player.hasPermission("op")) {
      return;
    }
    String playerName = player.getName();
    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(this, () -> broadcastOpJoin(playerName));
  }

  // This is a named method to make the code more readable.
  private void broadcastOpJoin(String playerName) {
    for (Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
      // This is a variation of early escape to skip a loop iteration.
      if (!online.hasPermission("view.op")) {
        continue;
      }
      online.sendMessage(playerName + " joined the server.");
    }
  }

[proud badge]

also doesnt the word final mean that its final and cant be altered anymore? or does java not care about english grammar

[river oracle]

It can nolonger be reassigned

You can still do stuff and use the setters and getters

You just can't reassign that variable

[lost matrix]

PS: This is how the code looks with nesting and no named methods

  @EventHandler
  public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (!player.hasPermission("op")) {
      String playerName = player.getName();
      Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(this, () -> {
        for (Player online : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
          if (online.hasPermission("view.op")) {
            online.sendMessage(playerName + " joined the server.");
          }
        }
      });
    }
  }

Its significantly less readable and you need to really dig into everything to understand whats happening

[proud badge]

I dont understand what this is supposed to show? Async thread usage? why run code on a different thread for just an on join event

[lost matrix]

No this is supposed to show how to write cleaner code

[proud badge]

Ok thanks

[lost matrix]

• Less nesting
• More methods with meaningful names

[proud badge]

Cannot assign a value to final variable 'natural'

damn

[proud badge]

also can somebody answer this

[rotund ravine]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[proud badge]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

Yes, this is a very bad idea. You should load all data associated with a chunk into memory, when your chunk loads,
and write it back into your DB when the chunk unloads. Events should ideally only use in-memory data.

[rotund ravine]

Imagine guessing smh

[proud badge]

so what you mean make a chunkSnapshot variable, then get the block from the chunkSnapshot variable?

[tall dragon]

no

i think hes saying you should load all blocks of a chunk into memory from the database when the chunk loads

whichever u have data about in your database

then in your events access that data, not the database

[knotty aspen]

Unless you need to do global lookups you can also just store your data in the chunk PDC, no need for the complicated database stuff

[proud badge]

na so for every block in a chunk I need to access the coreprotect database, and put it into a variable?

[storm crystal]

What can I store in plugin configs

[proud badge]

aint that a bit too laggy

[proud badge]

anything that can be a YML value (i think)

[storm crystal]

I mean in what cases do I want to use them

[young knoll]

Yes

[lost matrix]

Anything

[river oracle]

anything as long as you make an adapter

[young knoll]

And you can write custom adapters, so yeah basically anything

[hushed spindle]

anything, mainly things that people need to be able to read and edit manually

[lost matrix]

For configuration. Data is ususally stored in a different format.

[storm crystal]

In?

[river oracle]

not even that necessarily if your doing a naive approach and using it as a database you could store in bytes/base64

[young knoll]

I mean data can be stored in yaml

but ehhh

[lost matrix]

Maybe CoreProtect is not the right tool for your case. What are you trying to do?

[young knoll]

You have a ton of options for data: yaml, json, PDC, database, binary

etc

[proud badge]

check if the block is natural, and if the player has placed the block or na

[hushed spindle]

yeah but you shouldnt use yml as a database lol

[lost matrix]

json, sql schema, bson, binary

[whole lintel]

if you have many methods like broadcastOpJoin, isn't it better to just have them on a utils class?

since there's no state here

[knotty aspen]

For all intents and purposes of the average Minecraft plugin it's perfectly fine

[storm crystal]

Well people told me its fine

[hushed spindle]

yes im just saying generally speaking

[storm crystal]

xdxdddd

[hushed spindle]

its "fine" there are just better solutions

[young knoll]

I mean if you are going to run a server with a million total players

Maybe avoid yaml

[storm crystal]

So now I have to start from scratch

[whole lintel]

(which you're not)

[young knoll]

But for the average server it's technically fine

[lost matrix]

I usually have a ton of manager classes and only very few utility methods which extend spigots functionality

[knotty aspen]

I rather have plugins storing data in yaml than Devs not understanding databases and blocking the main thread with them

[hushed spindle]

for example, im doing a custom crafting plugin. if i didnt have guis to edit my recipes, yml would be the best approach as humans need too be able to read and edit them. but since i have guis i dont have to make them readable, so in my case i use json

[young knoll]

I still want an api for NBT files

[hushed spindle]

but i could also just use a database or something

[young knoll]

That would be cool

[river oracle]

unfortunately I don't think that'd ever be merged

[hushed spindle]

if you wanna use yml just use yml lol

you dont have to scratch all your work

[proud badge]

cant I just make it so it wont create more threads if one is open? Like queue them all up

[storm crystal]

Its not optimal at this rate

[lost matrix]

What are you trying to do in the first place?

[hushed spindle]

in any case, gson is very easy to use for json storage

[river oracle]

tbh if you're data is so tightly coupled to your project where you have to scrap it, you need to rework your organization anyways

[hushed spindle]

converting your yml solution to json will not be a lot of effort

[proud badge]

here I sent it

[lost matrix]

Ah missed it

[old cloud]

Hi, how can i make a mob Walk to a specific location?

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tracking-blocks-that-were-placed-by-players.500216/

[proud badge]

what about blocks that were placed before the plugin is installed? My map is 4 months old, will they all render as natural? (i assume yes)

[lost matrix]

This is also technically possible with CoreProtect, but you need a very good understanding of their internals
and when data is in memory/queried from a DB

[whole lintel]

Oh god

core protect

[lost matrix]

You can 100% not do a CoreProtect query in the BlockbreakEvent.
Doesnt matter how you do it.

[whole lintel]

easiest way to get 999 dupes on your server

[proud badge]

so far 0

because I dont rollback stuff before I trace back to where it went

[whole lintel]

They're mostly not public

[old cloud]

I know there is setTarget and just teleport but is there a better solution?

[river oracle]

not with api afaik

[old cloud]

Ok and setTarget would look most natural right?

[valid burrow]

how can i get a biome from a certain location

[rough drift]

World#getBiome

[young knoll]

Yes setTarget should be natural

And you should be able to use an invisible mob for the target

[lost matrix]

    Location location = ...;
    location.getBlock().getBiome();

[storm crystal]

I just need to get rid of configs and make db manager

I guess Sql?

But maybe later now im rather demotivated

[serene sigil]

guys, i need help with something

[slender elbow]

good luck

[slender elbow]

?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!

[eternal oxide]

Not sure I can advise on something

[slender elbow]

but i thought you knew about something

[near night]

i have a folder in the resources folder called assets, how can i access it though code?

i need to copy files out of the assets folder to a difrent folder

[eternal oxide]

name the folder correctly in your jar

then Plugin#saveResource

no need to bother messing with folders then

[near night]

yeah but i am making a plugin that other plugins will put fils in the said assets folder then my plugin needs to mess with those files

my plugin is gonna copy the files out of resource folder

[river oracle]

i'd advise against letting other plugins inject things into your resource folder

do what ElgarL said and use Plugin#saveResource

[near night]

why tho?

[river oracle]

because that's mainly because its unnecessarily complex and, but also opens you up to more vulnerabilities

you'd be providing an API to inject content into your jar

why not just uhh idk, use the plugin data folder that spigot already oh so graciously gives you instead of doing some convoluted weird shit

[near night]

i'm copying files from other plugins resource folders into my plugins data folder

[near night]

its nicer for devlopers using the resource folder

not for me tho xD

[river oracle]

this seems like an accident waiting to happen, have you thought about what happens if a clash in naming occurs?

it'd be much easier and safer to provide developers with API to add files into your plugin data folder

[near night]

well the files i'm copying out are just files for resource packs

[near night]

true true

welp thanks for your help! i gtg now

[serene sigil]

what is the event that gets called when a block breaks because a block below it boke

broke*

for example what is the event if you break a grass block and on top of that is a sapling

[rotund ravine]

Eh probably physics update or smth

BlockBreakEvent tho 💪🏻

[serene sigil]

it doesnt work tho

[rotund ravine]

It’ll only trigger for one of em ye

[serene sigil]

yea

and what is physicsupdate?

[rotund ravine]

The other thing is just physics i guess

An event that gets called a fuck ton

[serene sigil]

is it good for the cpu to actually implement a listener for an event that gets called so many times?

[rotund ravine]

Meh

Also just check if there is a sapling above in the blockbreakevent

[serene sigil]

how?

because i cant just check the block above it...

[rotund ravine]

Why

[serene sigil]

actually i need it for rails

not saplings

[rotund ravine]

So you can

[serene sigil]

that was just an example

[rotund ravine]

Same principle

[serene sigil]

because rails can also be on top of gravel and if u break a gravel 5 blocks below it, it also drops

[rotund ravine]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[serene sigil]

?

[rotund ravine]

I was just checking smth

[serene sigil]

ok

[serene sigil]

@rotund ravine

[proud badge]

decompiling my plugin jar wont effect how the code works right?

[rotund ravine]

Bing has the answers to ur problem.

[pseudo hazel]

cant you just listen for the block break of the rails?

[rotund ravine]

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.Block;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockBreakEvent;

// Implement the Listener interface
public class BlockBreakListener implements Listener {

    // Handle the BlockBreakEvent
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
        // Get the block that was broken
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        // Check if there is a rail above the block or the pile of sand/gravel
        if (hasRailAbove(block)) {
            // Cancel the event
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

    // Helper method to check if there is a rail above a block or a pile of sand/gravel
    private boolean hasRailAbove(Block block) {
        // Get the block above the block
        Block above = block.getRelative(0, 1, 0);
        // Get the material of the block above
        Material material = above.getType();
        // Check if the material is a rail
        if (material == Material.RAIL || material == Material.POWERED_RAIL || material == Material.DETECTOR_RAIL || material == Material.ACTIVATOR_RAIL) {
            // Return true
            return true;
        }
        // Check if the material is sand or gravel
        else if (material == Material.SAND || material == Material.GRAVEL) {
            // Recursively check the block above
            return hasRailAbove(above);
        }
        // Otherwise, return false
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

[quaint mantle]

Decomp is mess

[rotund ravine]

But ur not breaking the rail

That’s just a physics update

[quaint mantle]

It does not make bugs or something but makes the codebase worse

[pseudo hazel]

oh does that not send the event?

[eternal oxide]

EnumSet.contains for the types to check for.

[tranquil ferry]

Hey anyone knows how to get ur plugin downloads from 5k to 50k downloads ping me if u know

[pseudo hazel]

I wish I knew

[eternal oxide]

patience and regular updates (if needed) and support

[rotund ravine]

Suresure didn’t write it

Just told bing to write it cause i was lazy

[pseudo hazel]

lmk how to even get to 5k lmao

[eternal oxide]

lazy ass 🙂

[rotund ravine]

Just make smth dumb and people will download it

[pseudo hazel]

also doing that recursively is kinda pointless

[tranquil ferry]

Make a useful plugin and get a youtuber promote it

[pseudo hazel]

I see

[rotund ravine]

Doing what?

[pseudo hazel]

gettings blocks until you reach a rail

or doing anything

[rotund ravine]

Why?

[serene sigil]

💀

[rotund ravine]

It isn’t

[pseudo hazel]

you could use a list or a while loop

[rotund ravine]

Gravel falls from any height as long as the block under it broky

Sure

Or i could just do it recursively

[pseudo hazel]

yes

I mean it still works ofc

I guess bing was just in the mood for recursion

[rotund ravine]

I told it to just do it like that at the end

It was trying some other schenanigans

[pseudo hazel]

i see

You can’t rerun the same runnable

[quaint mantle]

maybe runTaskLater ?

[upper hazel]

hey how i can get line number from config?

[rotund ravine]

@upper hazel ?

[upper hazel]

1, 2, 3 etc

[quaint mantle]

so it cant be recursive ?

[pseudo hazel]

you should never need the line number in a config file

[upper hazel]

in config

[eternal oxide]

configs are not treated as having line numbers

[rotund ravine]

Not like that no

[quaint mantle]

plugin.getConfig.getInt(<key>);

something like that

[eternal oxide]

no

[quaint mantle]

oh he meant the line of the config

[upper hazel]

not exists

[eternal oxide]

yep

[quaint mantle]

i thought an int value in the config

[rotund ravine]

?

Scanner i guess

Glhf with weird stuff

[eternal oxide]

line numbers mean nothign in a config as whitespace is ignored when parsed

[pseudo hazel]

do you just want to run a timer?

[upper hazel]

i want log were plugin search error value in config

for more information

[rotund ravine]

What

[quaint mantle]

you can manually map the keys with an error message and onEnable you check all your key values and if they're not valid you throw the error message

[pseudo hazel]

you would probably print the path of the value you are trying to access

[rotund ravine]

You want a yaml linter then

[upper hazel]

I want it to be known in which line of the config the error occurred

[rotund ravine]

Yaml linter

[quaint mantle]

a linter ?

[upper hazel]

what?

[pseudo hazel]

a linter

like probably some library that will read the yml file and spit out errors and lines

for syntax errors mostly

[upper hazel]

but I can’t find out the line number where I got the value from the config?

[rotund ravine]

Seems unnessacary

[upper hazel]

which is like section.getInt().getLine

[pseudo hazel]

if you have a section you know the path to the section probably

so you can just look up what line it is

[upper hazel]

when you want to log errors well then it will be needed

[pseudo hazel]

is this for users or just for debugging

[upper hazel]

The problem is that there may be gaps there. The config section is not displayed for some reason

[pseudo hazel]

that means its probably null

[upper hazel]

no i mean plugin.getConfig.getSection.getPath not shows the way

I wanted to display an error something like - config.yml/key1/key2

but now this - /key1/key2

[pseudo hazel]

so the path of key1.key2 is not showing up?

[upper hazel]

config.yml/ - not exists in log

[rotund ravine]

Hf from bing

[pseudo hazel]

are you working for microsoft or something

[rotund ravine]

I broke it sec

[upper hazel]

just keys insade config

[pseudo hazel]

well the section is just for the file

[rotund ravine]

Getting the line number of a key and value in a YAML file using SnakeYAML is not a straightforward task, as the library does not provide a built-in method for that. However, there are some possible ways to achieve this, depending on your use case and requirements.

One way is to use the org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.Mark class, which represents a position in a YAML stream. This class has methods such as getLine() and getColumn() that return the line and column numbers of the position. You can obtain a Mark object from a Node object, which represents a YAML node in the abstract syntax tree (AST) generated by SnakeYAML. To get a Node object, you can use the org.yaml.snakeyaml.composer.Composer class, which parses a YAML stream and produces a single node. For example, you can use the following code to get the line number of the key FirstKey in your YAML file¹:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.composer.Composer;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.nodes.MappingNode;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.nodes.Node;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.nodes.NodeTuple;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.parser.Parser;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.parser.ParserImpl;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.reader.StreamReader;

public class LineNumberDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Create a parser for the YAML file
        Parser parser = new ParserImpl(new StreamReader(new FileInputStream("./config.yaml")));
        // Create a composer that produces a single node from the parser
        Composer composer = new Composer(parser);
        // Get the root node of the YAML file
        Node rootNode = composer.getSingleNode();
        // Check if the root node is a mapping node
        if (rootNode instanceof MappingNode) {
            // Cast the root node to a mapping node
            MappingNode mappingNode = (MappingNode) rootNode;
            // Iterate over the key-value pairs in the mapping node
            for (NodeTuple nodeTuple : mappingNode.getValue()) {
                // Get the key node and the value node
                Node keyNode = nodeTuple.getKeyNode();
                Node valueNode = nodeTuple.getValueNode();
                // Get the mark of the key node
                Mark keyMark = keyNode.getStartMark();
                // Get the line number of the key node
                int keyLine = keyMark.getLine();
                // Get the mark of the value node
                Mark valueMark = valueNode.getStartMark();
                // Get the line number of the value node
                int valueLine = valueMark.getLine();
                // Print the key, the value, and their line numbers
                System.out.println("Key: " + keyNode + ", Value: " + valueNode + ", Key line: " + keyLine + ", Value line: " + valueLine);
            }
        }
    }
}

The output of this code is:

Key: FirstKey, Value: {SecondKey={Enabled=true, ID=Some text}, AnotherKey={AValue=true}}, Key line: 0, Value line: 0
Key: TestKey, Value: {TestValue=More text}, Key line: 4, Value line: 4

Another way is to use the org.yaml.snakeyaml.events.Event interface, which represents an event that occurs during the parsing of a YAML stream. This interface also has a method getStartMark() that returns a Mark object for the event. You can use the org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml class to parse a YAML stream and iterate over the events that it produces. For example, you can use the following code to get the line number of the key FirstKey in your YAML file²:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.events.Event;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.events.MappingEndEvent;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.events.MappingStartEvent;
import org.yaml.snakeyaml.events.ScalarEvent;

public class LineNumberDemo2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // Create a YAML object for the YAML file
        Yaml yaml = new Yaml();
        // Parse the YAML file and iterate over the events
        for (Event event : yaml.parse(new FileInputStream("./config.yaml"))) {
            // Check if the event is a scalar event
            if (event instanceof ScalarEvent) {
                // Cast the event to a scalar event
                ScalarEvent scalarEvent = (ScalarEvent) event;
                // Get the value of the scalar event
                String value = scalarEvent.getValue();
                // Get the line number of the scalar event
                int line = scalarEvent.getStartMark().getLine();
                // Print the value and the line number
                System.out.println("Value: " + value + ", Line: " + line);
            }
        }
    }
}

The output of this code is:

Value: FirstKey, Line: 0
Value: SecondKey, Line: 1
Value: Enabled, Line: 2
Value: true, Line: 2
Value: ID, Line: 3
Value: Some text, Line: 3
Value: AnotherKey, Line: 4
Value: AValue, Line: 5
Value: true, Line: 5
Value: TestKey, Line: 6
Value: TestValue, Line: 7
Value: More text, Line: 7

[pseudo hazel]

presumably you opened the file somewhere with a path name

[rotund ravine]

Hf trying to get what gpt-4 says is true to work

[rotund ravine]

I am just lazy

[upper hazel]

Then why, when syntax errors occur, does the console display the line number of the config where it happened?

why i not can get this line from config at will

[pseudo hazel]

because those are separate systems probably

[upper hazel]

not in a sophisticated way

[pseudo hazel]

what do you mean

[rotund ravine]

Just catch the error msg 👌🏻

Jkjk

[upper hazel]

not using libraries, systems. Why can't I get the line number using 1 method?

[dry hazel]

syntax errors are thrown by snakeyaml during the parse process, it simply doesn't store this metadata beyond the deserialization process

[rotund ravine]

Fraud?

cause snakeyaml does not care about lines

[upper hazel]

translate error

[rotund ravine]

Also the error snakeyaml gives is not always indicative of the actual error

Yaml can be broken in many ways where snakeyaml suddenly doesn’t know what to do

[knotty aspen]

Tag.LEAVES.isTagged(block.getType()), using the name and doing a string comparison just hurts

[whole lintel]

GiveBallCommand.java:24 is ```java

yeah lol rough

that'd do it

ah right

how do u make an item glow again

u cant just give it infinity 1 and hide it anymore

[austere cove]

at least make your lazy init thread safe

[river oracle]

thread safety is lame 😎 live on the wild side

this is minecraft, what is thread safety?

[arctic shuttle]

hey how would I set a 1/10 chance to get an item?

[whole lintel]

Ehh

pointless really

[whole lintel]

^

[river oracle]

like enchantment glow?

you just add an enchantment

than use the HIDE_ENCHANTMENTS flag

[arctic shuttle]

im kinda new to spigot and java in general

[river oracle]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5516917/java-do-something-x-percent-of-the-time

you can usually use google for those kind of questions

[arctic shuttle]

how would it work for 1/3?

[river oracle]

the same logic applied for the 10%

[arctic shuttle]

but

[river oracle]

look at the approved answer on that thread I sent

it will have a green checkmark

[dull mango]

Maybe you should take a look at a Java tutorial

what's the best way to check that a player has started holding an item?

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerItemHeldEvent.html

[grim hound]

much appreciated

[arctic shuttle]

what if i wanted all the things to have an answer

[river oracle]

then don't use probability

[arctic shuttle]

ok

[arctic shuttle]

how would I do it if I didn't use probability, sorry if I'm being annoying I've tried a lot of stuff

[river oracle]

do what?

run code

you juts uhh type it out

and compile it

then put hte plugin in the server

[arctic shuttle]

I meant how would I calculate the chances, sorry if I was unclear

[river oracle]

you need to use random

just follow the suggetsion of the thread I posted earlier

there isn't really a much better way than that

[arctic shuttle]

ok

sorry if I'm annoying lol

[slate tinsel]

How do I change a player's fall speed?

[tall dragon]

does any1 know if its feasable to cancel knockback? as in when i hit an entity it should take damage as normal. but take zero knockback

[river oracle]

hmmm have you tried setting its velocity to 0 on damage event? or does that not work well

[lost matrix]

By setting his velocity

[tall dragon]

i did try that but it stops it in its tracks

and it looks weird

[river oracle]

you could also maybe cancel the damage and then reapply it by getting hte playres attack damage and apply it to the entity via code?

[tall dragon]

getting the right attack damage is also pretty tricky tho

haha

[river oracle]

doesn't EntityDamageByEntityEvent give you a damage

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[tall dragon]

im never sure if final damage is with all calculations done

it should be right?

hm yea i could try this. but im pretty sure this will not show my client the hit visually

[river oracle]

using EntityDamageByEntityEvent#getDamage should work

[tall dragon]

which is a problem

[river oracle]

you might need to send the packet for that unfortunately

[tall dragon]

i think so indeed.

[river oracle]

bukkit might have API for that for some reason I remember there being API for that

[tall dragon]

il see if i can figure that out. thanks for the insight

[river oracle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendHurtAnimation(float)

only for player 🥲

[tall dragon]

yikes

thats pretty interesting

shoulnt that be the same code for all livingentities

[river oracle]

oh I think that does incoming damage

[lost matrix]

How about you dont set it to 0 but what it is during the damage event?

[tall dragon]

ohh

thats interesting as well

[river oracle]

that should actually work better

[tall dragon]

yea il defo try that first thanks

[slate tinsel]

Do I set that value once or do I need to set it multiple times?

[lost matrix]

Depends if you want to set the fall-speed or fall-acceleration

[slate tinsel]

I want to make the player fall slower

[knotty aspen]

best option is using the potion effect for that

everything else will look janky because the client and server will disagree about velocity

[lost matrix]

This actually sounds like something that could be added to spigots API with a bit of work. Entity#setGravityScalar(double)

[knotty aspen]

for other entities that will work fine, visually for other players too. just for the player itself not really

[autumn cave]

Bukkit.getEntity(UUID) called in ChunkLoadEvent returns null, even after 1 tick. Is there a way to know when entities are 'registered' and Bukkit.getEntity(UUID) is safe to use with newly loaded entity uuids from loaded chunks?

[lost matrix]

You can get entities which are loaded with the chunk by calling Chunk#getEntities()

[autumn cave]

Actually this might be exactly what I am looking for

[young knoll]

👍

[serene sigil]

how to cancel a minecart move where the player pressed "w"

[arctic shuttle]

hmm this worked for 1 but not 2
int min = 0;
int max = 8;
int result = (int) Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min);
if(result == 1) {

[lost matrix]

Its good if you do this by hand for some experience, but java has built in methods for that.

Random random = ThreadLocalRandom.current();
int min = 0;
int max = 8;
// Rolls a random number from 0 (inclusive) to 8 (exclusive)
// So possible values are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
int roll = random.nextInt(min, max);

[grim hound]

yo if I register custom commands but I don't want to do so whenever Essentials' present

but just checking whether the command was already registered doesn't work (Essentials only problem)

can I do some loadbefore magic

to fix this?

[lost matrix]

Check if essentials was loaded and do a softdepend on Essentials

[young knoll]

Still makes me sad that ThreadLocalRandom has nextInt(min, max) but regular Random doesn't

[lost matrix]

Ah right

[grim hound]

it's just random.nextInt(max - min) + min

[young knoll]

Yeah but still

java y

[grim hound]

I'll try that, thanks

[lost matrix]

Do a PR

[arctic shuttle]

The result 2 isn't working but 1 does

[undone yarrow]

I know this isnt completely spigot related but idk where else to ask this. I have an animatronics plugin which lets me play an armorstand animation when I use /anim play test
I can put that cmd in a command block too and it works fine, but I want to run it whenever a player is at a certain location. I wanted to do that with
/execute if entity @p[x=-1040.441,y=71,z=-1336.528,distance=..1] run anim play test
but the anim play test part is not recognised. It does however recognise other plugins' commands. Any ideas? I'd like to keep it in 1 cmd block if possible

[young knoll]

Generally spigot commands don't work with /execute

[lost matrix]

Show your code

[grim hound]

plugin commands are really not designed to be used with /execute

[young knoll]

Other plugins may be using a library that registers them

[undone yarrow]

Hmm damn

So what should I do in this case?

Add another cmd block and activate that command block with this one?

[young knoll]

Chain command blocks ig

[arctic shuttle]

condition roll == 2 is always false

Doesnt work

[young knoll]

Not sure, are you sure the UUID is correct

[whole lintel]

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Specified enchantment cannot be applied to this itemstack

[young knoll]

Use the unsafe method

addUnsafeEnchantment iirc

Or for ItemMeta there is a boolean as the last arg

[grim hound]

what

[autumn cave]

Yeah basically doing this:

@EventHandler
fun onChunkLoad(event: EntitiesLoadEvent) {
    for (entity in event.entities) {
        println("${entity.uniqueId} <> ${Bukkit.getEntity(entity.uniqueId)?.uniqueId}")
    }
}

First uuid is not null, but the second one is with Bukkit.getEntity

[grim hound]

It ain't used by any program

int min = 1;
int max = 8;
int roll = Random.nextInt(min, max);
if(roll == 1) {

[grim hound]

Are you?

checking if roll == 2 after a roll == 1 if statement?

[arctic shuttle]

omg TY i forgot

[grim hound]

anyway what the fuq

[lost matrix]

Your if(roll == 2) is inside the block for if(roll == 1) { so it will never be true

[arctic shuttle]

where should I put it?

[young knoll]

Outside the if (roll == 1) block

[lost matrix]

Check for 1, 2 and 3 ticks afterwards

[grim hound]

THERE'S A LIMIT

on how big the gif the can be?

sucks

[young knoll]

Yes there is a file size limit

[grim hound]

hmm

[young knoll]

You can embed from a free external host

Like imgur

[autumn cave]

;-; ok, but do you know the reasoning behind these magic numbers?

[young knoll]

Probably multithreaded jank

[wet breach]

The event knows the information before the rest of the server does

because the event can be cancelled therefore it makes no sense for the rest of the server to know about an entity which ultimately never existed 😛

[young knoll]

It can't be cancelled

[eternal oxide]

There is a seperate event for loading entities https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/EntitiesLoadEvent.html

[young knoll]

They are using it

event: EntitiesLoadEvent

[eternal oxide]

ah ok, all I saw was chunk load

ah his method name was chuink not entities, so confusing

[wet breach]

ah

well its still the case that the event still knows before hand before other things

or at least that is typically how it is for the events anyways

[whole lintel]

itemStack.getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer().get(key, PersistentDataType.STRING) != null;

returns false

even tho i just did

meta.getPersistentDataContainer().set(key, PersistentDataType.STRING, entity.getUniqueId().toString());

itemStack.setItemMeta(meta);

[grim hound]

well uh

how do I make it

show the gif

well?

and I mean

for like

spigot resources

but shit ain't cooperating

[wet breach]

use the img tag?

[grim hound]

doesn't work

[wet breach]

it might be imgur not allowing embeds possibly?

only thing I can think of unless you are using the img tag incorrectly

typically its [img url=""](text here that shows up if img does not[/img]

[grim hound]

what

[fallen lily]

No markdown

[grim hound]

just tell me what's missing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Markdown is missing

Get google’d bro

[grim hound]

you're being extremely useless right now, you know that?

[fallen lily]

Well, what I said has no relation to your problem

Im pointing out the poor design of the post editor

It should utilise markdown

Its more portable

Simpler

And is used almost everywhere

[wet breach]

it does make use of markdown

it uses the good old BBCodes

[wet breach]

let me go look on my page

[fallen lily]

You mean markup?

[wet breach]

no

markup is things like html

or the documentations formatting

[fallen lily]

BBCodes is markup, Markdown is a play on words

Its a separate thing

[fallen lily]

Well let me clarify

BBCodes & Markdown are both markup languages

[grim hound]

Bruh

[wet breach]

Markdown itself isn't a markup language

[fallen lily]

It is though

[wet breach]

unless there is a lib called Markdown

[fallen lily]

Bro

Markdown is the language, CommonMark is the standard

You obviously have preprocessors to interpret the language into images/html

But its a markup language

[grim hound]

I like the funny words you both speak

But would you be so kind to help me?

[wet breach]

oh, which editor are you using?

now that I remember

you need to use the editor that lets you edit everything

[grim hound]

Well I guess I'll just go fuck myself

[wet breach]

I learned this hard way myself long time ago with Bukkit

[quaint mantle]

anyone know a good builder generator for intellij

[grim hound]

Wdym by that?

[orchid gazelle]

yo! any ideas why my test-bots cannot connect to my server? ```/127.0.0.1:64226 lost connection: Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex(7) + length(8) exceeds writerIndex(8): PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(ridx: 7, widx: 8, cap: 8)

bots: https://github.com/PureGero/minecraft-stress-test

[grim hound]

I use another botter for my antibot testing

[orchid gazelle]

well it's not antibot

I just need it to test my gun system functionality

[grim hound]

https://github.com/crpmax/mc-bots

[grim hound]

Please rate my antibot

It has very little recognition to how well it's written

It's for spigot servers

[quaint mantle]

builder pattern

[grim hound]

Just start up a second launcher

[orchid gazelle]

well

it seems to use the wrong protocol version for 1.20.2

"Outdated server! I'm still on 1.20.2"

[grim hound]

https://github.com/crpmax/mc-bots/releases

It has a different release version for each mc ver

[orchid gazelle]

yeah but im running 1.20.2

and im using the release for 1.20.2 lol

[grim hound]

Also my antibot is called AlixSystem if you could test it

[grim hound]

Wha-

[orchid gazelle]

yeah

[grim hound]

Download ViaVersion then

[orchid gazelle]

ehhh thats gonna cause issues with my plugin

[grim hound]

It's not

Like if the version is the same it wouldn't make sense

[orchid gazelle]

yeah it does not make any sense

[grim hound]

Also ViaVersion seeme to be decently written

[orchid gazelle]

had the same issue with the old botting software

I just changed the protocol version there

[grim hound]

.

[orchid gazelle]

but yeah it's not that easy here

[grim hound]

How would it cause any issues anyway?

[orchid gazelle]

im not gonna use ViaVersion for my whole server

[grim hound]

You do know how testing works, right?

[orchid gazelle]

im also not gonna rely on ViaVersion for testing

thats a factor than can cause errors which makes it uncomfortable

[grim hound]

It's probably the most reliable plugin out there

[orchid gazelle]

not really

[grim hound]

What

You're being really pessimistic for an unknown reason

[orchid gazelle]

I do not wanna rely on other plugins for ANYTHING in my testing

[grim hound]

It would only matter in anticrashes, antibots and anticheats

Maybe packet analysers also

But not for some gun plugin

[orchid gazelle]

which is exactly what im doing too lol

[grim hound]

What

[orchid gazelle]

it's not only a gun plugin

[grim hound]

Uh

[orchid gazelle]

and even my gun system might mess with some packet stuff indeed

it's not just normal entity guns

it's a custom written projectile system with my own raycasting algorithm and hitboxes lol

the fact is that im not gonna use viaversion

[grim hound]

Yeah then it won't matter

[golden turret]

I am creating a vehicles plugin and I am creating a train. I want this train to move on rails. The problem is that when the train is fast enough, he leaves the rail. How can I get the current rail even if the train is fast?

[grim hound]

Also that's really easy to make

[orchid gazelle]

no it's not

[grim hound]

There's a lot of implementations out there already

[orchid gazelle]

I have not seen any

show me one

[grim hound]

And even a built-in one

[grim hound]

The bukkit one

[orchid gazelle]

raycasting algorithm? Yes. A raycasting algorithm customized to my needs? no

because it's raycasting my custom projectiles

[grim hound]

How the fuck am I suppose to know your needs

[orchid gazelle]

it does not exist

[grim hound]

It's still increadibly easy to make

[orchid gazelle]

my gun system is not easy to make

no

[grim hound]

And ViaVersion only matters for 1.14 changes pretty much

[storm crystal]

what was the name of that SQL something shit

for databases in plugins

I cant find it

[grim hound]

But that's only for anticheats

[grim hound]

Bro

[orchid gazelle]

I am tracking player bodyparts as custom Cuboids with my own hitbox intersection algorithm on the playermodel

[grim hound]

That's subjective

[orchid gazelle]

you shoot your gun, it raytraces and can exactly tell you on what pixel of the SKIN you hit, not the normal hitbox

[grim hound]

You say it like it's a big deal

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/vehicle/VehicleMoveEvent.html

[orchid gazelle]

it is a big deal imo

[golden turret]

I am using a custom nms entity

[orchid gazelle]

This approach has not been done publicly by now

[grim hound]

Have you accounted for everything?

[wet breach]

custom entities still have events thrown

unless its an entity that doesn't exist in the server

[orchid gazelle]

im working on it, but so far it is looking well

[golden turret]

it is a cow

[grim hound]

Hmm

[orchid gazelle]

dumped at least 100-200 hours into working on it lol

[wet breach]

then use the entity move event

[grim hound]

I have no idea right now of how I could do it with pixel accuracy with the player's body turned and great distance calculation offsets

[grim hound]

I did much more for my antibot

[orchid gazelle]

yeah see, so you admit that it's not "very easy"?

[wet breach]

its simple, you need to obtain the skin texture so you can have measurements

[storm crystal]

sounds like making separate game would be easier lol

[wet breach]

however, saying pixel accuracy is a bit of a misnomer due to the fact that there is two different kinds of pixels

[orchid gazelle]

skin texture pixel's locations are not stored anywhere on the server

[grim hound]

Well yes, but exactly why do you neef pixel accuracy?

[orchid gazelle]

you gotta calculate it by reversing the client code lol

[wet breach]

not necessary if you know the size of an image

[orchid gazelle]

because I like it

[storm crystal]

make it store them

[wet breach]

as long as you know the size you know its size in the server

and you can then do calculations on that

basic algebra

[orchid gazelle]

thats what im doing, im simulating the player model just how the client displays it

[grim hound]

Ah you mean like getting the pixels as bytes, and the faced location?

[orchid gazelle]

the server does not know the size of the texture on screen?

and size is not the deal

I am confused on why you are talking about texture size

[grim hound]

It's much more complex hmm

[orchid gazelle]

it's not like it's a flat 2D texture

[grim hound]

I don't think you're seeing the whole image right now

[wet breach]

do you not know how to obtain picture sizes?

[orchid gazelle]

what picture?!

[wet breach]

skin textures are just a flat 2d png

[orchid gazelle]

and?

[grim hound]

No shit

[wet breach]

you can measure the size of a skin

[storm crystal]

how do I manage SQL database in plugin

[orchid gazelle]

multiple of them

[wet breach]

once you have the skins size you know how large it is in the server

[grim hound]

Yt tutorials

[orchid gazelle]

great now you have 0 data on where the bullet is gonna intersect lol

[storm crystal]

yeah im asking for a tutorial

[orchid gazelle]

because there are 10000 rotations, tracking and so on

[storm crystal]

not kody simpson cuz guy literally just does "well you put it here because I say so" without explanation

[wet breach]

this is not true

[orchid gazelle]

this is true

[wet breach]

you obviously fail at basic math

[orchid gazelle]

?????????????????????????????????????????????

[grim hound]

Bro

[orchid gazelle]

you seem to not understand what im even doing

[grim hound]

Are you really that ignorant?

[grim hound]

Well that's most yt tutorials

[storm crystal]

well that aint gonna teach me much is it

[wet breach]

I am not ignorant just I know how to do pixel accuracy as being claimed and that it isn't super difficult, I already helped someone do pixel accuracies last year

[storm crystal]

if I dont get where did shit come from

[grim hound]

You can search for the code explanation on the web

[orchid gazelle]

pixel accuracy on what? Do you even know what im doing?

do me a favour and explain to me what you think im doing

[wet breach]

I was replying to the part doing pixel accuracy on trajectories of bullets is not hard

[orchid gazelle]

pixel accuracy on WHAT

[grim hound]

Most of it is just connection handling and maybe some caching

[storm crystal]

if you want to make actual trajectory you need more than basic math (trig)

and basic understanding of physics

[wet breach]

do you have short term memory?

[grim hound]

Trigonometry is easy at this level

[orchid gazelle]

this applies to 3D space, NOT the hitbox, the actual skin, with rotations, and then also calculating if you for example shot through multiple bodyparts and so on

if you have a fucking flat 2D texture you know 0 shit about the rotation of the player model and so on

[storm crystal]

idk what basic math exactly means but I'd assume its primary school math, lol

[grim hound]

It is

[storm crystal]

they dont really teach trig and its application in primary school usually

[orchid gazelle]

it's not easy to track an exact player skin model on a serverside player

[storm crystal]

rare case if you are academically gifted

[grim hound]

Oh wait no

[wet breach]

I consider algebra basic math

[grim hound]

I ain't english-native

[orchid gazelle]

you basically gotta recreate the behaviour of the player-model on clientside on server

[wet breach]

trig can obviously be used here and may make it easier in terms of formulas to use

[grim hound]

Middle school

[wet breach]

however, algebra is more the sufficient for this

[storm crystal]

your understanding of basic math is extremely broad and vague

[wet breach]

if that is all you know that is

[grim hound]

Show it.

Show how you did it

Or explain in detail

[orchid gazelle]

linear algebra is NOT basic maths

but yeah you won't come any far with just linear algebra knowledge lol

[storm crystal]

I had endomorphism a few hours ago

yes it is not basic at all

[wet breach]

ok, you don't consider algebra basic but I do since you learn algebra in middle school and beginning of high school in the US

[storm crystal]

which could be technically useful if you want to do some shenanigans with planes

[orchid gazelle]

idk when high schools exactly is in America

[storm crystal]

like vector conversion from x,y,z to x,y

[orchid gazelle]

but there is a huge difference between high level algebra and low level algebra, for example

[wet breach]

happens right after middle school, we don't base school years on ones age

[storm crystal]

no its just, when you say "algebra" you are mentioning entire chapter of mathematics

[orchid gazelle]

idk when "right after middle school" is

[storm crystal]

you'd have to say what you consider basic in algebra

[wet breach]

k-5'th is elementary school. 6-8th grades is middle school

the rest is high school

[storm crystal]

because there are both complex and basic things in algebra chapter

[orchid gazelle]

you do not learn complex linear algebra in 8th grade

you still continue to learn this stuff even in uni

[wet breach]

I took 4 years of algebra before I even got to high shcool, so yes you do

[storm crystal]

are you asian by any chance

[wet breach]

no

[storm crystal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100436822162685993.webp?size=48&name=PepeLa&quality=lossless

have you been oppressed by someone

[wet breach]

I am Half Canadian French and Half native american

[storm crystal]

into learning linear algebra before hs

[orchid gazelle]

I bet you won't do complex linear algebra in 8th gradem no

[storm crystal]

you wont, at school

you might do it in your free time

[orchid gazelle]

yeah

oh yeah I learned a lot of linear algebra in my free time

[storm crystal]

I learned basic calculus in 8th grade

cause I liked to watch black pen red pen

[orchid gazelle]

I learned like 30% of algebra because of the gun system and shit lol

back in the days

I started this project years ago and returned

[storm crystal]

im not balls deep into algebra

[orchid gazelle]

yeah same

[storm crystal]

I prefer analitic math

[orchid gazelle]

but alf bro you are just ignoring anything else while just saying "tHiS iS bAsIc MaThS"

[storm crystal]

like when I learn that sine can actually be expressed as power series

[orchid gazelle]

without even understanding what is being done

[wet breach]

it depends on your school I have gone to two extremely well funded schools

[storm crystal]

I get aroused

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100436822162685993.webp?size=48&name=PepeLa&quality=lossless

[orchid gazelle]

you still won't

[wet breach]

you don't live in the US

so your opinion is moot

[storm crystal]

I live in Poland my school barely could afford heating

[orchid gazelle]

lmao

[grim hound]

Yoooo you Polish as well?

[storm crystal]

we had 2 weeks off cuz they couldnt afford to pay

[grim hound]

Bracie kurwa

[orchid gazelle]

you are ignoring anything else while just hooking on one stupid thing

[grim hound]

F

I have been to Poland

[storm crystal]

thats the most american thing I have ever heard

[grim hound]

Greatly relatable

[storm crystal]

its ghetto but

[orchid gazelle]

think im gonna drop the botting stuff for today then

[storm crystal]

nostalgic ghetto

[grim hound]

America 👍

[storm crystal]

I dont talk in absurd insulin price

[wet breach]

Sure, but it doesn't make it any less true. To believe that just becacuse in your country you didn't learn it doesn't mean it applies to another country especially one as large as the US where just going the next county over is the difference in a good education or a bad one

[orchid gazelle]

ah shit I gotta learn some French for tomorrow too

[storm crystal]

okay fine you went to prestige school and were most likely academically gifted, you are pretty damn good at maths and used your free time well, but what does it exactly change rn in the conversation

[orchid gazelle]

and it's already 11pm

[storm crystal]

your understanding of basic math is way beyond average person at this point

[orchid gazelle]

nothing

[wet breach]

No I am not ignoring everything else. I think the hardest part of your system would be doing the rotations in an efficient manner where it wouldn't be too late

[grim hound]

And I gotta learn Polish

[storm crystal]

even one that is kind of into maths or technical stuff

[grim hound]

I wake up at 6 am

[orchid gazelle]

yes, which is far beyond basic maths. The maths part of it is also not the only hard part

[storm crystal]

ja pierdole mialem dzisiaj od 10 do 20 zajecia na uczelni XD

[grim hound]

Ło chuj

Jak dobrze że ja jeszcze w średniaku

[orchid gazelle]

it is a combination of a lot of mid-tier-complex systems that make it so special

[storm crystal]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Wtf84-ujVN4?si=NwvwCy88Z8HY9h_L @orchid gazelle thats how the cannon was made

:]

[orchid gazelle]

thats the same video

lmao

[storm crystal]

yeah mb

exothermic reactions are fun

[orchid gazelle]

oh yes

[wet breach]

well algebra has existed before trig, so yes you can do everything with algebra, just probably not fast enough depending on the system. I think for the rotations if I was to do it would be to use Quadratics

[storm crystal]

or like ester of HNO3 and celuloze

[storm crystal]

but we live in trig era so no need to reinvent the wheel

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100436689836585010.webp?size=48&name=Shrug&quality=lossless

point being basic math term isn't static and same for everyone

[orchid gazelle]

I first tried to use a Quaternion-based system with a custom Quat implementation but then I dropped it with a 100x more simple matrix mult rotation -> cuboid system

which is still, kinda complex but 1000x better

[grim hound]

Gl y'all 👍

[wet breach]

I would have been interested to see that attempt

[grim hound]

Amma head to temporary slumber of nothingess

[orchid gazelle]

the quat attempt?

[wet breach]

not many people here attempt such things 😛

yeah just to see how you were going about it

[orchid gazelle]

well imma try to remember but it's from like 2.5 years ago lmao

[wet breach]

well I don't need you to replicate it lmao its fine

[orchid gazelle]

imma try to find the project rq maybe I still have it

had to use EulerOrders, basically I have a playerTransform, limbTransform and then that calculates into every single limb of the player which I then save

so you have a Quaternion centered on the player, which applies it's rotation and so on on halfExtents

which yea, you gotta let that all happen in relative space and then translate it to world space and so on

iirc the software basically creates the representation of the rotated playermodel in relative space and then translates it into world space

[orchid gazelle]

and yeah, you can imagine that this is INSANE for a previously 13 year old guy in school lmao

then I switched up to my matrix mult system, which was literally the way how I learned about a lot of algebra stuff in the first place

fun story, I learned how matrix mults applied on vectors work and then like 10 weeks later we learned it in school

[wet breach]

ah so you ended up ahead 🙂

[storm crystal]

yeah vectors are just matrices

but multiplying matrices isnt really AxB = BxA idk how its called in English

you get what I mean

you gotta transpose it

so yeah need to get a gist of basic operations

[orchid gazelle]

yeah, that was around the point where I switched to only hitting the best grades in maths because I got motivated asf lmao

[storm crystal]

surprisingly for mathematicians its not common to assume that a+b = b+a

[orchid gazelle]

yeah we had to do it without a calculator

applying rotations on vectors and so on

without calculator

[storm crystal]

we do it w/o calculator too

we just get small numbers

[orchid gazelle]

yeah it's fun

that was part of my 10th grade final exams, my old school

[storm crystal]

its not

[orchid gazelle]

now after graduating on it I switched to the gymnasium

[wet breach]

one of my favorite theorems from Algebra is Pythagoras's Theorem

it is such a useful theorem that can be applied almost anywhere lol

yeah lmao

[exotic obsidian]

Does anyone know how to hide potion details?

[river oracle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemFlag.html#HIDE_POTION_EFFECTS

[young knoll]

Hey the name fits for once!

[river oracle]

accept it doesn't here

HIDE_POTION_EFFECTS does much more than that

oh nvm I get what you meant now lol

[exotic obsidian]

bruh

[young knoll]

Wait

[exotic obsidian]

i used it all but nothing work! i just want to hide the details in the circle

[young knoll]

Why does the armor trim flag say it hides trim from leather armor

[young knoll]

Hide potion effects should work

Otherwise maybe hide attributes

[valid burrow]

how can i set an entitys max health

[knotty aspen]

its an attribute, getAttribute(generic_max_health) and set/modify that

[valid burrow]

thx

[storm crystal]

How bad is it that I pretty much want to replicate hypixel skyblock mechanics and make an indicator of how well I manage to recreate them and after that adjust them to my needs

[sterile token]

if im not sure Ilussion Skyblock is the base of Hypixel skyblock or something similar

[storm crystal]

I mean trying to make enemies, damage indicators and statistic system, profession levels and world divided maps

And then adjust or build additional things to my need

Like use hypixel mechanics as base

[valid burrow]

how do i apply the modified attribute to the entity

also why cant i do entity.setHealth just found that in the living entity class

[knotty aspen]

you can use set health, but max health is an attribute

but you don't need to apply anything. you either add an AttributeModifier, or you set the base value

[sterile token]

setHealth() is for setting the health itself, not for declaring how much health can have in total

[valid burrow]

in player

not in entity

[knotty aspen]

a player is an entity

[valid burrow]

i know but its two different classes

and if i red correclty

[knotty aspen]

well yes but player extends entity

[valid burrow]

oh okay then spigot forums lied to me

good to nkow

i can not get this to work ?paste

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[valid burrow]

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

[hazy parrot]

i think that error is pretty descriptive

[valid burrow]

yh apart from the fact that it is not null

its right there

it finds the key

but the data itself is null

[hazy parrot]

yeah casting to List<Object> seems really wrong

[valid burrow]

well what else would i do

theres 10 million differnt data types in there

[hazy parrot]

make your own (de)serializer

[valid burrow]

but why cant i just cast it to List<Object> all of them are objects arent they

and i asked previously and everyone agreed that lists can contain differnt data types

[hazy parrot]

yeah but this isn't List in yaml

its configurationsection

[valid burrow]

oh fair enough

[hazy parrot]

list is for example something: [1,2,3]

[sterile token]

Lists can just have 1 data type per object, if that what you mean

[hazy parrot]

you treat whole section as a list

[valid burrow]

yh i though its possible to do that

[sterile token]

or also:

something:
  - 1
  - 2
  - 3

[valid burrow]

but yh makes sense

[storm crystal]

-whats ur gender
-im true

😭

[valid burrow]

its supposed to be if the creature has a gender or not

[sterile token]

yeah that was extrange when i read haha. I had to read it many times

[sterile token]

What exactly trying to do?

[valid burrow]

ark

[sterile token]

Because what you sent seens more to be a config section, atleast the yaml format you sent

[valid burrow]

dinosaur

rawr

[sterile token]

oh you masking ark evolved?

[valid burrow]

yes

the cojnfig is supposed to let you create and edit all creatures

in various ways

thats why i have so much data in there

[storm crystal]

idk it worked for me like that

and it can read values normally

[sterile token]

that still a section

from what i seeparamite and paramite2 are config section object

but yeah as they have said i would make a custom serializer for that format saver

[valid burrow]

this should work then im too lazy to make it rn

wanna test if the other 100 classes work

[sterile token]

remember smth

the first thing which is hide in the cap

you still have a section let say

gian_octopus is an array, thats true

[valid burrow]

i know its supposed to be like that

[sterile token]

but the father of giant_octapus is a section*

why using anm array for that?

[sterile token]

there you have array with more arrays inside

[valid burrow]

makes it easier to read out the values

[valid burrow]

not a problem,

i pass everything into a class constructor afterwards anyways

[sterile token]

its extrange i would treat as you did before with config sections

[hazy parrot]

why not just make custom serializer for your object ?

[sterile token]

yeah what we told hehehe

[valid burrow]

im to lazy RN

[sterile token]

GPT

[valid burrow]

i wanna test out the other stuff first

[sterile token]

GPT less than 10m

[valid burrow]

alright alright

ill let it make one
