#

wasn't there a key to open advancements tab as well or am I crazy

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

default L, but I don't think there's an event for that

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:00 AM

#

What about mod

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

A client mod can do anything

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

I mean, you could do the flying by looking part really, you'd just push the player

#

the thing you wouldn't be able to do is bind the action to a specific key like G, but you could bind it to one or multiple actions like crouching and swapping hands or something of the like

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

would not look good, ping exists

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

sly topaz the thing you wouldn't be able to do is bind the action to a specific key like G...

What about double jump?

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

if they do it at normal flying speed it should be fine

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

coral sparrow What about double jump?

whatever works for you

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Normally double jump is done by allowing the player to fly and using the toggle flight event

#

Disable flying, yeet the player, re-enable flying when they land

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

Can you not use the PlayerInputEvent now ? (would require you to detect double jump yourself)

#

would avoid the temporary flight due to lag

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:04 AM

#

Yeah you could

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

What about the Black hotbar with cooldown and countdown

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

resource pack

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Font magic

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Yay font magic

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

it is just a resource pack there I believe, no font magic

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

blazing ocean resource pack

It would not detect the power activated i think so

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

that is font magic

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

isn't that just adding a specific font

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

and negative spacing

#

so: font magic

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

but it is on the same place as action bar no?

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

TLDR: custom font (font magic) and action bar

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

Yeah but yall forgot about the cooldown

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

You gotta do that yourself buddy

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

a cooldown is a cooldown, it's a pretty self-explanatory concept

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

smoky anchor You gotta do that yourself buddy

Oh wait i think how

smoky anchor Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

There's no magical "show cooldown above hotbar with specific font" function in the API

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

API so lacking smh

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

my game engine has this

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

I think i should switch to mods

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

not neccessarily easier

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

mods mean every client would need it to join your server

coral sparrow Mar 22, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

Yeah i am gonna shoot myself into space

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

blazing ocean my game engine has this

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:09 AM

#

blazing ocean <https://github.com/radstevee/axi/blob/master/example/src/main/kotlin/net/radste...

that's like 10 methods

#

I need a single method that does exactly what I want

#

why do API makers not think about me!!!

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

ok but it's cool

#

lemme just get an updated recording

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

should've put a seizure warning

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

What was that on tick 390

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

that text movement made me dizzy

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

Don't think I didn't see it

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

I honestly have zero clue

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

0/10 unusable

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

it doesn't happen when the current tick layer is not displayed

#

sooo ????

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

rad now implement built-in reduced movement mode for accessiblity™️

#

otherwise unusable

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

I mean

#

you can just have it redraw every 5 ticks instead

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

yeah but OSes usually force it down your throat as long as you have the option enabled

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:13 AM

#

the reduced motion would be up to the end user to implement

#

because I'm not forcing that impl

sly topaz Mar 22, 2025, 11:13 AM

#

Imagine just adding a 10 tick delay to every frame

#

and having the option enabled by default

#

would drive some people insane

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

literal 2fps

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

Yours is only 20 fps smh

#

You gotta set the servers tick rate to at least 60

jagged thicket Mar 22, 2025, 11:15 AM

#

it really is hard on the eyes

#

any way to smooth it out?

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:15 AM

#

there is not

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:15 AM

#

blazing ocean you can just have it redraw every 5 ticks instead

it looks so horrible as well

young knoll Mar 22, 2025, 11:15 AM

#

there isn ot

#

Do 60 tps

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:16 AM

#

I'm rendering it on every client tick end btw

jagged thicket Mar 22, 2025, 11:17 AM

#

blazing ocean there is not

instead of increasing the speed

#

why not slow it down

#

like move it slowly so it doesn't hurt the eyes

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:18 AM

#

2fps is beautiful

jagged thicket Mar 22, 2025, 11:19 AM

#

yeah this is good

#

jus make this the default one

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:19 AM

#

what about 0.5fps

#

(2spf)

jagged thicket Mar 22, 2025, 11:19 AM

#

no, this is slow enough

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:20 AM

#

blazing ocean what about 0.5fps

oh this is just static kekw

#

well, somewhat at least

#

sine wave moment

#

I wanna try something that I haven't actually tried yet, what if I just never return redraw

#

okay it will be rendered once

#

the nice thing about my system is that you can just add multiple render layers and they will just stack: ```kt
public val OtherLayer: RenderLayer = buildRenderLayer {
add {
content(-50) {
append("bye, world!")
font(Fonts.BeaverOffsets[-10.0]!!)
}
}
}

player.addRenderable(testRenderLayer(Bukkit.getCurrentTick()))
delay(1.seconds)
player.addRenderable(OtherLayer)

smoky oak Mar 22, 2025, 11:28 AM

wait what you can have more than one line of text on that???

#

im stealing this

#

how does this work internally anyway?

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:28 AM

font magic

smoky oak Mar 22, 2025, 11:29 AM

#

does it require a resource pack?

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 11:29 AM

#

yes

smoky oak Mar 22, 2025, 11:29 AM

#

paper

quaint mantle Mar 22, 2025, 12:07 PM

#

ah.

#

I have never used NMS. This might be the first time.

#

I did use build tools to install the appropriate minecraft version with the command in that post.

#

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id "io.github.patrick.remapper" version "1.4.2"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "spigotmc-repo"
        url = "https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
    maven {
        name = "sonatype"
        url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/"
    }
    mavenLocal()
}

tasks {
    remap {
        version.set("1.21.1")
    }
}```

#

does this look right?

#

java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.21.1 --remapped
pause```

#

./gradlew.bat remap

#

I don't see anything though, when I hit shift twice and search for an NMS class like CraftPlayer.

blazing ocean Mar 22, 2025, 12:21 PM

worldly ingot Mar 22, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

I don't want to dissuade you from making plugins, but if you're having recurring issues of various bits and pieces of your plugin not being exported correctly (your main class, your plugin.yml, your config.yml), you should maybe do some research and experimenting with your build system or export process to make sure you have these components every single time you export

#

Your build system is the one tool with which you should be most familiar because without it you don't have a plugin to use

im having a real hard time understanding on what to actually do, i understand i need to connect to the tcp port ive done that

start a handshake so send the
handshake packet, what is it actually that i need to send?

packet format
varint with the length, "Length of Packet ID + Data", so this would be amount of bytes? bits?
varint with protocol id so 769? since 1.21.4
byte[] with the handshake stuff?

varint with the version number
string with the ip
unsigned short with the port
VarInt Enum (so 1/2/3?) what would i chose? currently i just want to check if the server is alive

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.

Hello, I am currently trying to detect if a player is pressing left click without letting it go using nms by accessing ServerGamePacketListenerImpl and I did access it though but I don't know where to find the left click boolean...
Is there a document for nms?

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

for nms, no, but for the protocol yes

sullen marlin Mar 23, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

why not just getItemInUse() API method?

#

oh that's right click

#

I dont think there's anything in the protocol for "keep pressing left"

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

there's a blockdamaged event or something iirc that fires when you dig blocks

#

but that's also the only case in which the client reports "keep pressing left"; doing it on air or on entities will just send one interact packet telling the server that something was left clicked

#

are you the guy who was trying to make a gun plugin where you shoot by holding down left click?

it doesn't seem like anyone here knows if that's even possible

chrome beacon Mar 23, 2025, 3:26 AM

So you'd need to use something like a block they can break

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 3:42 AM

can't you just put an interact entity in front of them at all times

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 3:59 AM

that only works for right click

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

thorn isle that only works for right click

does Interaction#getLastAttack not return the last left click on the Interaction?

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

sure, but there's no way to know whether the button is still being held

#

the client will only send one attack per you pressing the button down

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

thorn isle sure, but there's no way to know whether the button is still being *held*

if they're holding left click and there's an entity in front of them, they'd keep attacking it until they stop holding

#

now you'd only have to deal with the fact that the hitting animation would continuously play while you are holding, probably something fixeable with a resource pack or something

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

sly topaz if they're holding left click and there's an entity in front of them, they'd kee...

no, that's not how it works

#

each click is one attack; holding left click doesn't auto-attack

#

how you describe it is how it works for right clicks, which is why it was noted that the interaction entity trick only works for right clicks

jolly maple Mar 23, 2025, 5:31 AM

What's the exact difference between the Default Config File and the Custom Config File? Bcs from what I've read you can set and get properties with either of them?

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:00 AM

#

eager hawk What's the exact difference between the Default Config File and the Custom Confi...

default config is just the config.yml inside your plugin's folder

#

and a custom config would be anything else

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

there is no intrinsic difference, the default config file is just a convenience thing

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

the only difference is that default config has the convenience methods for saving and getting

#

beat me to it

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:02 AM

#

the other convenience thing about it is that the embedded config.yml resource in the jar is automatically used as config defaults

#

though usually this causes more issues than convenience

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:02 AM

#

So I can also just use the default config?

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:02 AM

#

if you want, yes

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:02 AM

#

i.e. "i fucking removed this config line, why does it say it's still there" because it's being pulled from the defaults

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

Alr ty guys

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

I wish someone made a Cloud vs CommandAPI comparison

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

So when I add smth new to the config, do I use saveConfig or always saveDefaultConfig?

#

I suppose the 2nd one?

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:05 AM

#

saveconfig will overwrite any changes made to the file, you generally don't want to use it

#

savedefaultconfig checks if the file exists and extract the default config from the jar if it doesn't; it also loads the existing config if present

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:07 AM

#

Alr, so basically my code should look like this (for example)

parkour.getConfig().set("parkour-name", name)
parkour.saveDefaultConfig();

Am I right?

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

Ive read it

#

But there it says saveConfig()

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

well, that wiki explains everything you should have to know about configs

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

Yeah but there it uses saveConfig() and vcs just said that you don't want to use it

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:09 AM

#

well, it depends on what you use the configuration for

#

if you set values at runtime, you'd ultimately have to use saveConfig

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:09 AM

#

Storing parkour names, start / end block locations

#

And time scores of the parkour run

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:09 AM

#

that sounds like setting values at runtime

#

saveDefaultConfig won't write to the file once it's already in your plugin's folder, aka it will only write once

#

saveConfig will write every time you call it, regardless of whether there are changes or not

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:11 AM

#

Oh ok, so I just need to run saveDefaultConfig when starting my plugin, but all the other times I need saveConfig

#

When adding new properties to the config

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:12 AM

#

yes, but be aware that using saveConfig essentially makes the configuration well, not "manually configurable"

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:13 AM

#

Yea yea that's ok, I don't want to users to modify the config manually, only using commands

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:13 AM

#

unless you make sure to read the values whoever edited the file before calling saveConfig

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:13 AM

or no that's not right

#

i will PERSONALLY set fire to your entire city if you do this

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

I mean, locations aren't something you want to manually input anyway

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

Yea exactly xp

#

Would be weird if people would manually change locations

#

Easier to use /parkour setspawn for example

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

setting locations is fine, but editing e.g. strings or numbers via commands or a gui is absolute ass

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:17 AM

#

that I can agree

#

even with the anvil GUI or chat, it is just ass to not be able to edit them in bulk if necessary

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:17 AM

#

It's my first time working with configs tbf, I'm well known with Java, but Spigot is like pretty new for me (my first week rn)

#

So I don't rlly know how to work with configs that are manually editable yet

that wiki I sent doesn't explicitly mention it, but all you have to do is read the configuration before writing to it

eager hawk Mar 23, 2025, 8:21 AM

I suppose I'll also need to add a /reload command then after someone manually edits it?

#

like /parkour reload

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 8:21 AM

you mean you have an abstraction which builds items and places a consumer action on them, and now you're trying to figure out how to identify these built items in the actual event? If so, yes, PDC should work

robust helm Mar 23, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

sly topaz you mean you have an abstraction which builds items and places a consumer action...

exactly. thanks

#

just not rlly ideal to modify the items if someone would maybe want to give the item to the player on click

#

not my problem tho 🤷‍♂️

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

I mean, you provide the inventory click event itself on the consumer so they may as well match the item themselves at that point

robust helm Mar 23, 2025, 9:56 AM

as of rn im not offering that lower abstraction

#

is it rlly needed?

i was going to use one listener object for each gui object, and just register it with a static plugin variable in the constructor

why is that?

is it not possible to make it secure?

eternal night Mar 23, 2025, 3:40 PM

Well, you need to find a certificate auth that cares to issue you a cert for a bare ip

lets encrypt iirc does not

grim hound Mar 23, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

will normal clients not connect to websites without a certificate?

eternal night Mar 23, 2025, 3:41 PM

depends on what you consider a normal client

grim hound Mar 23, 2025, 3:41 PM

uh lets say, chrome

chrome beacon Mar 23, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

It doesn't need to be secure nor https

grim hound Mar 23, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

chrome beacon You can visit a website with http

and for it to be https, I can't just encrypt it, right?

weak wasp Mar 23, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

You should really register a domain. There are free ones all over the place like freenom or no-ip

eternal night Mar 23, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

for it to be https you need an tls certificate from an authority like lets encrypt

#

So if you wanna use https, find a tls cert authority that issues tls certs to bare ip addresses

#

It just isn't as common given that ips can change a lot more often than domains do.

chrome beacon Mar 23, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

and get ready for that to cost more than just getting a domain

grim hound Mar 23, 2025, 3:44 PM

okay, will see

(gonna prolly use bare ip for a while)

Hey I'm the developer of a ChestLocker plugin. I'm fighting this issue atm: https://github.com/earomc/chestlocker/issues/5

My problem is, that I rely on the API in the Lockable interface. The setLock(String) method was deprecated in newer Spigot versions. Not only is it deprecated, it seems to not work correctly anymore. The new alternative is an experimental API "setLockItem" which takes in an ItemStack. However my plugin checks which String / which password locked the container. But there is no alternative "getLockItem" method. Assuming it is still in development I thought of another approach:

Setting the chest's NBT data manually. However I don't know how to do that.

So I have two questions:

How do I set NBT data manually?
Where can I track the progress of the Lockable API so I can adapt my plugin to that as soon that is released.

Yeah I meant setting it up correctly with the proper cert chain, links to parent certs etc. so that your cert ends up being trusted and doesn't throw browser errors

#

I'm not sure if Extended Verification is still a thing (gave a green background in the SSL bar). You used to have to link to a Certificate Revocation List, but anyone could edit the cert to link to an empty file (no revoked certificates) and bypass if the issuer had indeed revoked their cert.

warm mica Mar 23, 2025, 5:08 PM

#

I'd just enforce people to use a reverse proxy

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

if you can enforce people to do things, then it doesn't matter whether you have a cert or not

but a self-signed cert for some random IP is never going to get accepted by any certificate authority known to man

It's a technical entity, used purely for visuals

smoky anchor Mar 23, 2025, 6:49 PM

no, you have one root entity
you make all the displays ride that single entity
then for each of those entities, you change the transformation matrix (translate part) so the block is visually in the correct place

Anything related to this variable is pointless. You will set the passanger anyways so the position of the BlockDisplay is ultimately meaningless. Simply spawn it at the same position as your root entity.

wraith oasis Mar 23, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

because i think display blocks rotate where armor stand looks

smoky anchor Mar 23, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

Just use.... a display entity

#

and do not rotate where it looks ?

#

riding should work, although one downside to it is that you lose out on the teleport interpolation feature of display entities

#

that should probably be okay for most things though

smoky anchor Mar 23, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

You can use the.. teleport interpolation
Which should work.
You're surely talking about transformation interpolation

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

no, specifically the transformation interpolation will work even when riding

#

but you can't teleport an entity that's riding, so there's nothing to teleport interpolate

#

or, well, you can, but then it's no longer riding anything

smoky anchor Mar 23, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

oh like that
that's not a problem in this case

#

and ye, normal interpolation will work anyways, sorry

but i have problem with putting armor stand on player with packets

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 10:01 PM

i had to resort to copious amounts of protocol fucknuggetry to get over-the-head player healthbars to work

#

it does work but it's hideous and fragile and if you mistime the packets the client state gets bricked and they'll have to relog before they can place blocks/chat

#

alternatively patch the server to allow teleportation whilst having passengers, which is apparently a popular approach by server owners, but not really something you can do as a public plugin developer

#

"to run my plugin you need to run the server with ignite wrapper and have it apply this mixin"

you can turn the armor stands collision off

#

i believe its isMarker()

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

that also makes the client not do any predictions for it and iirc makes it unable to ride entities, but i could be wrong

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:23 PM

#

you can make it ride entities just fine as marker

#

I don't know what predictions you're thinking of, but in 1.8.8 there wasn't anything of the sort anyway

#

the only issue with armor stand would be the fact that you can't have multi-line names so you'd have to mount one for the nametag and other for whatever else you want to display

alr I need help brainstorming!

I'm trying to do the impossible and make an isometric view plugin

the main problem I have right now is freezing the player and getting their movement at the same time

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:36 PM

cancelling the player movement should still trigger an input event, no?

the usual way people go about it is making the player spectate an entity that cannot move though, or so I believe

nope

pretty recently, 1.20.6 or so

maybe but its still better than nothing

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:39 PM

that'd be the vehicle move event

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:40 PM

just the movement ones

forward, backwards, left, right, jump, sneak and sprint I believe

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:41 PM

ohh nice

#

is this part of the event or seperate?

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

separate, that just gets the last Input sent by the player

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

so whats the diference then?

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:42 PM

#

nothing really, perhaps the events is more "immediate" but I doubt it tbh

#

it just depends on how you want to go about it

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:42 PM

#

huh alr I'll look more into it but this might have just revived my idea 😂

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 11:43 PM

#

sly topaz you can make it ride entities just fine as marker

last i tried this, it was "mounted" and the client did receive the packet, but the marker armorstand remained where it was and didn't move with the mounted entity; similarly marker armorstands don't seem to respect velocity/movement and can only be moved by being teleported

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:43 PM

#

nope I think that getCurrentInput is how you get the input from the event

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:44 PM

#

red bolt nope I think that getCurrentInput is how you get the input from the event

the event has a getInput method

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:45 PM

thorn isle last i tried this, it was "mounted" and the client did receive the packet, but t...

I don't know why or how that happened to you but mounting them works just fine, I don't know about velocity

#

though I do believe people had some issues around marker armor stands where the entity would stop moving once the chunk unloaded, but in the case of client-side entities, the entity would outright be despawned anyway

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 11:46 PM

#

i only tested it once when going through my "how the fuck do i make this work" checklist, and at a glance i didn't see any issue with my implementation, but i didn't experiment with it very thoroughly

#

i vaguely remember first setting it up with a regular armor stand; and it worked

#

then i switched on the "is marker" flag on the armor stand; and it broke

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:47 PM

#

the other issue with using a marker is that since it makes the hitbox smaller, you need like 6 marker armor stands to make another line which is crazy

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:48 PM

#

so for my plugin I'm trying to make a "new gamemode" but the only way I could figure out was by checking every time a player moved then going through each player and checking if they had the custom gamemode tag and then handling them from there

Just feels inefficient

#

#

the players gamemode is stored in a custom yml file

urban cloak Mar 23, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

well i would make the GamemodeManager a static field somewhere

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

creating whatever that manager object is every time the player moves is definitely not a good idea

urban cloak Mar 23, 2025, 11:51 PM

#

and you could probably just set the fly and walk speed onnly when the gamemode changes

sly topaz Mar 23, 2025, 11:52 PM

#

I would just use a hashmap and dump their mode in whatever form of storage you prefer when the server closes or the player leaves

#

and also yeah, only change their speed when their gamemode changes

#

you may also want to check whether they moved their head vs their actual location, as the mvoe event is triggered for both

thorn isle Mar 23, 2025, 11:54 PM

#

use enums for constants instead of comparing strings

red bolt Mar 23, 2025, 11:59 PM

#

urban cloak and you could probably just set the fly and walk speed onnly when the gamemode c...

the problem comes to interference with other plugins like essentials with /setflyspeed

#

but if the playerinputevent thing works I wont need the flyspeed thing as I will just make them spectate an armorstand

#

nor the movement cancel

#

but I still need some sort of loop
