why does that give me an exception

lost matrix Apr 25, 2021, 12:49 PM

Rather use Integer.parseInt()
And you should catch the NumberFormatException to prevent invalid inputs

yeah already have that

thanks

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 12:51 PM

Does that mean it has no loops :p

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 12:55 PM

performs like shit, written like shit, balanced like shit

#

they excuse it by saying that the main developer was a noob when he started writing it

#

but in all honesty he isn't much better now

#

everything he still writes, 5 years later, still runs like shit and looks like shit

#

the 'lag profiler' he added a few months back uses more main thread time than most of the individually ticked blocks in the plugin

#

and is literally fucking useless because it doesn't discriminate between off-thread and main thread time

im trying to do an integral in a maths calculation

but the other way gives completely different results than a calculation on my calculator

#

no point in reimplementing math functions yourself

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:00 PM

                money = Math.log((finalstock / (finalstock - finalamount)) * value);

Integrals are pretty hard to do in programming. Numerical mathematics can get quite complicated.

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

that on my calculator gives out 693.147
In Java it gives out 7.601

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

is Math.log log10 or log2

#

i never remember off the top of my head

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

lemme check

#

i think log2

lost matrix Apr 25, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

or natural log (so e)

#

pretty sure its not log 2

#

10 or e

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

probably that actually

#

i think log10 is a separate method

#

this is what autocomplete does to your brain

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

yeah its e

#

but why is it not working

#

sellitem_money = Math.log((sellitem_sell_final_stock + sellitem_sell_final_amount) / sellitem_sell_final_stock) * sellitem_result_value;

Thats the opposite (selling items) and it works fine

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

silver shuttle ``` money = Math.log((finalstock / (finalstock - finalamount)) *...

But the other one doesnt give out correct results

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

you should use lowerCamelCase for variables by the way

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

yeah im going over everything once I am done, realized like 2 hours into the plugin that it was a bad decision

#

but still its giving out wrong answers

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:04 PM

look at and compare the intermediate calculations with your calculator

almost certainly yes

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:07 PM

in one function I multiplied log(2/1) * 1000

Listen for the EntityDamageEvent and the EntityDamageByEntityEvent

Use a manager that evaluates the damage outcome based on those two PDCs plus other effects like those form potions.

yes thats how i felt when taking the ss

pls stop

#

i really wish the atom material icons plugin would change the icon for .yml files

#

its a bit bad

#

what even is that

#

when all the other ones are clean

#

like these for example

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:40 PM

#

                    ItemStack hand = new ItemStack(sellitem_seller.getInventory().getItemInMainHand());
                    hand.setAmount(sellitem_sell_final_amount_int);
                    sellitem_seller.getInventory().remove(hand);
                    int sellitem_stock_after = (int) (sellitem_sell_final_amount + sellitem_sell_final_stock);

Why is this not removing sellitem_sell_final_amount_int amount of the Item in my hand from my Inventory?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

Removes all stacks in the inventory matching the given stack.

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

oh so it would remove all stacks matching sellitem_sell_final_amount_int ?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

yes

#

https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.16/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#remove-org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack-

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

ooooh ok that makes sense

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

read ze docs

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

what can I use instead then

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

i don't know if there is a built in way to remove x items of a type from an inventory tbh

#

you might just have to iterate over the slots and remove them manually

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

I have no idea how to do that

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

do you know how to iterate over a collection

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

wait theres .removeItem()

#

lemme try that

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

Removes the given ItemStacks from the inventory.

#

probably won't work either

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

yeah that works

#

it removes from a full stack

#

works perfect

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

kool beans

#

but

#

you do know how to iterate over a collection, right

#

might be something you want to look into if not 👀

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

I will...

#

is it possible to store the ItemStack in a String in a MySQL?

#

Like does that work?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:49 PM

#

yeeees, but not very well on spigot

#

you will want to do something called serialization to the itemstack, which converts it into a serial format, usually raw bytes or a string or something like that

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

mhm okay

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

the only serialization method spigot provides converts the item into what is basically a ConfigurationSection

lost matrix Apr 25, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

BukkitObjectOutputStream -> Base64

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

lemme try around a bit to see if I can get it working

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

does that take care of data conversions and shit?

#

i remember there being issues with serialized stuff exploding when the data version is incremented

#

like, with server updates and what have you

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

Yeah that was a problem

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

This shouldnt cause any issues as long as the item column type is TEXT right?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

No

#

I don’t think at least

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

cool

#

How do I call values from the config outside of the main class file?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

now, put on the brakes

#

before give you the answer you want, let me first say that your question is wrong

#

in object oriented programming, everything is an object

#

your problem is not that you can't find the config object

#

your question of "how to find the config outside of my main class" is wrong

#

it should be "how to find the config outside of my main class instance"

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

... yes

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

the answer is that you give the config object to the object that needs it

#

you don't give it to a "class file"

#

you give it to another object

#

drop the whole thought pattern of being restricted by "class files"

#

you are always restricted by which object you are in, not which class you are in

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

Ideally inject your plugin instance into that other instance challenger

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

how do I do that

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

do you know what a constructor is

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

no

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

do you know what new does

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

kinda

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

give me an example of you using new in your code

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

ItemStack hand = new ItemStack(sellitem_seller.getInventory().getItemInMainHand());

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

https://gist.github.com/Conclure/a01d187ab9127149a919daec6547757f#file-datamanager-java-L1 this is an example if you’re getting too lost I guess

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

right there, you are invoking ItemStack's constructor

#

new calls a constructor

#

constructor creates a new object

#

that's why it's called new

#

now, let's try creating a constructor

#

open up the class file where you want to access your config

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

NNY nice explanation

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

mk

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

have you opened it? what is the class called

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

buyitem.java

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

now, we will create a constructor

#

write public buyitem() {} somewhere in the class

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

ok

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

now, write some code in between the { }

#

it doesn't matter what it is

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

wraith rapids write ``public buyitem() {}`` somewhere in the class

wait do I put that just anywhere in the class or inside my public class buyitem which I have a lot of shit in

#

like I mean

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

you have to put it inside the class declaration

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

below the imports or inside the code block of the CommandExecutor

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

wraith rapids you have to put it inside the class declaration

ok

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

public class buyitem { } is the class declaration

#

so you put it somewhere in between the { }

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

yes

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

so now you have something like

public class buyitem {

    public buyitem() {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
    }


}

#

congratulations, you have created a constructor

#

now, whenever you create a new instance of buyitem with new buyitem(), that code is run

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

wait

#

no that doesnt work

#

public class buyitem implements CommandExecutor {
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String alias, String[] args) {
        public buyitem() {
            System.out.println("the final solution");
        }
        if (args.length == 0) {
...

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

no, no

#

do not put it in a method

#

put it in the class declaration

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

ok

#

done

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

next, put something in between the ()

#

let's say Object myObject

#

you will have something like this
so now you have something like

public class buyitem {

    public buyitem(Object myObject) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
    }


}

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

ye

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

now, if you try creating a new buyitem

#

it will throw an error

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

yeah I see that

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

new buyitem() will throw an error, because it wants a parameter

#

you have created a constructor that takes 1 parameter

#

you can no longer create instances of this class without giving it some arguments

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

and the argument tells it stuff about the plugins data I guess?

#

and I can use that to do .getConfig()?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

now, to create an instance of it, you need an Object to give to it

Object object = new Object();
buyitem item = new buyitem(object)

#

here we are creating a dummy object and then passing it to the constructor of buyitem

#

now, we can do stuff with this object in the constructor

#

public class buyitem {

    public buyitem(Object myObject) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
        
        System.out.println("We got an object: " + myObject);
    }


}

#

if we're feeling hardcore, we can create a field and store that object

#

public class buyitem {

    private Object myStoredObject;

    public buyitem(Object myObject) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
        
        System.out.println("We got an object: " + myObject);

        myStoredObject = myObject;
    }


}

#

and now, the buyitem object will forever remember the object you passed to it in its constructor

#

it can do stuff with that object later

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

ok

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

public class buyitem {

    private Object myStoredObject;

    public buyitem(Object myObject) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
        
        System.out.println("We got an object: " + myObject);

        myStoredObject = myObject;
    }

    public boolean onCommand() {
        System.out.println("The object we have is " + myStoredObject);
    }


}

#

next, do you know what this does

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

partially

#

I only have it to connect to the MySQL and save the config

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

now, I want you to embrace the thought that methods belong to an object

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

mhm

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

see that onCommand method? I want you to stop thinking that it's a couple of lines of text in a text file named buyitem.java

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

lmao i know

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

i want you to imagine that it's part of an object

#

that is

Object object = new Object();
buyitem item = new buyitem(object)

#

it belongs to 'item'

#

we can call it with item.onCommand()

#

now, when we have a this inside the method

#

public class buyitem {

    public boolean onCommand() {
        System.out.println("The object we have is " + myStoredObject);

        System.out.println("My name is " + this);
    }


}

#

how can I get the jar file if I have all java files made?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

it will refer to item

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

wraith rapids it will refer to ``item``

okay

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

strong kelp how can I get the jar file if I have all java files made?

u mean export it?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

because item owns the method, and this refers to the current object, which is item

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

yes

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

pure glacier u mean export it?

I mean get the jar to be able to use the plugin

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

yeah exporting

what ide u using

so how can I export

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

now, next we need to make some assumptions with what bukkit does with plugins

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

idk I took it from github

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

what is the name of your main class

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

konstanius

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

right

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

strong kelp idk I took it from github

what program are you using rn

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

for what

#

visual studio code

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

u have the java files

#

oh

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

somewhere in the abyssal fucking spaghetti depths of bukkit, something goes konstanius thatPlugin = new konstanius()

#

it takes your main class

#

and it calls your constructor

#

creating an instance of your main class

#

an object

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

run that @strong kelp

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

I have this in build.gradle ```
version = '1.0'

ext.pluginName = 'MyFirstPlugin'
ext.author = 'daark'
ext.website = 'google.com'
ext.mainPackage = 'me.daark.myplugin'
ext.mainClass = mainPackage + ".MyFirstPlugin"


How do I use placeholders in plugin.yml with it?
I tried this but it shows same when I build

name: ${pluginName}
author: ${author}
website: ${website}
version: ${project.version}
main: ${mainClass}

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:30 PM

it will then do some shit for a while, and then it will call thatPlugin.onLoad()

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

with java?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

and a whule later, it will call thatPlugin.onEnable()

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

quaint mantle I have this in build.gradle ``` version = '1.0' ext.pluginName = 'MyFirstPlugin...

that is for maven, you have to use @version@ etc, i think

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

can you help me in DM?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

and before the server shuts down, it will call thatPlugin.onDisable()

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

processResources.expand "pluginName": "blah" @quaint mantle

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

strong kelp can you help me in DM?

sure

strong kelp Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

thanks

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

wraith rapids and before the server shuts down, it will call ``thatPlugin.onDisable()``

yes i knew that

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

pure glacier that is for maven, you have to use @version@ etc, i think

I tried that too but it also showed up as @version@ when I built it

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

now, we can apply the knowledge we have learned of this

#

and include this in your onEnable method

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

Using replacetokens is redundant

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

it will refer to the object that bukkit told your main class's constructor to create

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

Just expand

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

that is, it refers to your plugin object

#

now, we can apply the knowledge we learned of constructors

#

and we can give this to the constructor of your buyitem class

#

now, we can apply the knowledge that we can do stuff with the objects we are passed in constructors, and we can store the plugin object in the buyitem object

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

processResources {
  expand "pluginName": project.name,
                "author": "Drak"
}``` @quaint mantle

#

Etc

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

And then I use @pluginName@ or ${pluginName}?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

Latter

#

If you see someone uses @blah@ then they’re officially boomers

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

and you end up with something like this

#

public class buyitem {

    private konstantinus myPlugin;

    public buyitem(konstantinus plugin) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
        
        System.out.println("We got an object: " + plugin);

        myPlugin = plugin;
    }

    public boolean onCommand() {
        System.out.println("The plugin we have is " + myPlugin);
    }


}

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

okay

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

and now, in your buyitem's methods, you can take the myPlugin object

#

and do stuff with it

#

like, for example, call getConfig()

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

like myPlugin.getConfig();?

#

ayyy

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

But about project.name Should I then delete rootProject.name = 'MyFirstPlugin' from gradle settings?

#

If I expand project.name in build.gradle, should I remove rootProject.name from gradle settings?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

no lol

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

note that you can shove some this'es in the code and it will do just the same:

public class buyitem {

    private konstantinus myPlugin;

    public buyitem(konstantinus plugin) {
        System.out.println("the final solution");
        
        System.out.println("We got an object: " + plugin);

        this.myPlugin = plugin;
    }

    public boolean onCommand() {
        System.out.println("The plugin we have is " + this.myPlugin);
    }


}

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

Most likely your project property is also your rootProject

#

If you’re not using modules or smtng

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

because this refers to the current object, and myPlugin is a field on the current object, both this.myPlugin and myPlugin are the same

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

wait project.name in expand points to rootProject.name? Soo basically I don't have to type that name into build.gradle?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

Wat

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

It thought I should do this

processResources {
  expand "MyFirstPlugin": project.name,
                "author": "Drak"
}```

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

Yes

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

No I keep PluginName there right?

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

quaint mantle I tried that too but it also showed up as @version@ when I built it

what ide u using?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

IntelliJ

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

with the minecraft dev plugin?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

No

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

wraith rapids because ``this`` refers to the current object, and ``myPlugin`` is a field on th...

public class buyitem implements CommandExecutor {
    private konstanius myplugin;
    public buyitem(konstanius plugin) {
        myplugin = plugin;
        myplugin.getConfig();
    }

So I have this right?

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

use it

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

Putting $MyFirstPlugin$ into plugin.yml would then translate to the project.name when building

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Ooooh

#

So PluginName is the placeholder

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Yes

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

well, you aren't really doing anything with the config there yet

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

the project.name gives it the name

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

so there's no need to call myplugin.getConfig yet

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

Why is 'is' null?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

And project.name is same as rootProject.name right?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

call it later when you need it

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Yes

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

wraith rapids well, you aren't really doing anything with the config there yet

yes but what do I put into the main instance now?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

aaaah

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

In this case it is drak

hybrid spoke Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

maiden briar ```java if(!configFile.exists()) { configFile.getParentFile(...

what exactly?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Do I need that plugin too?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

what do you mean

maiden briar Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

The inputstream

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

Wym drak

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

That minecraft dev plugin

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

No

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

wraith rapids what do you mean

in the main instance, we had
Object object = new Object();
and
getCommand("buyitem").setExecutor(new buyitem(object));

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

It’s crap

pure glacier Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

it makes it easier

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

yes, well, we changed the constructor to take in an instance of your main class

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

It just helps you negligibly

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

it no longer accepts any random Object

#

it needs to be an instance of your konstanius class

#

the instance that bukkit creates

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

Do I use expand for ext.mainPackage too?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

the instance that bukkit calls the onEnable method on

#

how do we get this instance?

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

this

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

how do we refer to this instance?

#

yes

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

Drak I mean you can expand anything I guess or what hinders you?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

good job

maiden briar Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

maiden briar ```java if(!configFile.exists()) { configFile.getParentFile(...

Fixed

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

now, give the constructor this

#

that will give the buyitem object the instance of your main class

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

oh bruh i tried doing it in the Object object = new Object(this)

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

which the buyitem object can then call getConfig on

silver shuttle Apr 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

public class buyitem implements CommandExecutor {
    public buyitem(konstanius plugin) {
        plugin.getConfig();
    }

Does this work too?

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

processResources {
    expand "pluginName": project.name,

            "mainPackage": "me.dark.myplugin"
            "mainClass": mainPackage + ".MyFirstPlugin"
}

This is probably not correct.

Commas

#

It’s a key-value (map)

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:43 PM

But what about this line "mainClass": mainPackage + ".MyFirstPlugin"

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

Fine though I advocate string interpolation

"${mainPackage}.MyFirstPlugin"

            "mainClass": "${mainPackage}.MyFirstPlugin"
}

Like this?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 2:45 PM

Yeah

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

Could not get unknown property 'mainPackage' for task ':processResources' of type org.gradle.language.jvm.tasks.ProcessResources.

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

no, that doesn't work anymore

#

because now you are no longer storing the instance of your plugin

#

public class buyitem implements CommandExecutor {
    public buyitem(konstanius plugin) {
        plugin.getConfig();
    }

#

you're just taking it

#

and then throwing it away

Just use that name for your plugin main class path instead of mainPackage

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

What events should I look to make an item non-usable?

#

I already cancel block place events

#

is there an easy way to do this for all other item functions (e.g. dyeing)

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

define non usable

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

can still punch with it but can't perform functions such as special right-click functionality

#

ideally also can't use in crafting or smelting but that is more complex ig

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

listen to all interact events

#

and cancel any right click ones with that item held

#

you can still use it in recipes and whatever

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 2:59 PM

#

will this affect item-nonspecific events such as trying to open a chest while holding the item?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 2:59 PM

#

yes

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

is it difficult to make it ignore those

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

i'm not sure

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

i.e. without doing it on a case-by-case basis

#

okay, I'll give it a go anyway

#

thank you!

#

PlayerInteractEvent.isCancelled is deprecated for some reason?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

I think it uses Event.Result instead

#

Because it can be cancelled in different ways sort of

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

Conclure it does not work at all

#

processResources doesn't work

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 3:06 PM

What does it say

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

the interact event is cancer

quaint mantle Apr 25, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

A lot of errors

#

Deprecated.
This event has two possible cancellation states, one for useInteractedBlock() and one for useItemInHand(). It is possible a call might have the former false, but the latter true, eg in the case of using a firework whilst gliding. Callers should check the relevant methods individually.

#

this what it says on the javadoc

#

When I use ext.pluginName it builds but the placeholders aren't working

When trying to use processResources I dig my self a deeper rabbit hole

            }.runTaskLater(this, Knockback.getInstance().getConfig().getInt("delay-of-kb-mobs") * 20L);
        }
    }```
This is my code for delaying a custom amount of knockback, but when the hits are  delayed the knkockback  hit happens AFTER the regular hit. (this is only when the person has it enabled in config) I need to get it so it cancels the regular knockback and implemetns the new delay i have set anyone know any methods for this

which is probably excessive for what you want

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

Hmm ye

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

looks like the method might call mojang and do that for you actually

#

which means that it's going to blockeroni and you probably don't want to do it on the main thread

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

does 1.16 spigot support custom TileEntities or would I have to store and manage them manually (using ChunkEvents and some database)?

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

Yeah wait did mojang ever use names as their primary key :0

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

spigot doesn't support custom anything really

#

or, well, bukkit doesn't

#

i mean, yes, it ""supports"" custom entity types and shit but it's pretty lousy

#

we don't even have custom biome support yet even though they've been a thing on mojang's end for like years

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

ahhh unfortunate

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

like, you might be able to hack it together with nms

#

but it won't be fun

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

I think its better to try use my own system alongside vanilla rather than trying to hook into vanilla when its unsupported

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

if you're on paper, they have a chunk based PDC which probably does mostly what you want

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

not on paper but that sounds really good

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

you'll still have to have like 20 million listeners trying to track when blocks break and shit, but at least you don't need to worry about an external db

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

I wanna keep my plugin on spigot if possible since you can use spigot plugins on paper but not vice-versa

#

prob should look at source code for some world protection plugins

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

a nice thought i suppose but paper people probably won't like your plugin because it can't take advantage of their api

    public void onPlayerHit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            Entity p = e.getEntity();
            new BukkitRunnable() {
                public void run() {
                    p.setVelocity(e.getDamager().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(getConfig().getDouble("knockback-of-players")));
                }
            }.runTaskLater(this, Knockback.getInstance().getConfig().getInt("delay-of-kb-players") * 20L);
        } else if (e.getEntity() != null) {
            Entity p = e.getEntity();
            new BukkitRunnable() {
                public void run() {
                    p.setVelocity(e.getDamager().getLocation().getDirection().multiply(getConfig().getDouble("knockback-of-mobs")));
                }
            }.runTaskLater(this, Knockback.getInstance().getConfig().getInt("delay-of-kb-mobs") * 20L);
        }
    }```
This is my code for delaying a custom amount of knockback, but when the hits are  delayed the knkockback  hit happens AFTER the regular hit. (this is only when the person has it enabled in config) I need to get it so it cancels the regular knockback and implemetns the new delay i have set anyone know any methods for this

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

so while it does run on paper, it runs in a subpar fashion and people probably want to look for a paper-specific alternative

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

its mostly a plugin for myself anyway

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

Then use paper if you want?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

no reason not to use paper by this point tbh

#

afaik, the leading cause of spigot usage is not knowing that paper exists

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

im down to use paper ofc but if I want to use this framework later on for something public it will not be usable on spigot

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

why would you eat next to a clown when you can dine with a king

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

it is very enticing though

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

you should use spigot for the compatability only

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

is there a way to use Forge 1.16 mods alongside Paper?

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

but even so, the spigot api is still not a bad api

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

dense goblet is there a way to use Forge 1.16 mods alongside Paper?

yes, but it's very buggy

#

Mohist

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

there are some forge bukkit hybrids out there

#

but they are not very stable

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

they won't work very well always

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

and tend to die every 2 months

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

there is a 99% chance that they wont work with plugins using NMS

#

or protocallib

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

or they might just self combust

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

Forge is built of sticks and ego so not surprised it is buggy as shit

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

No, forge itself isnt buggy

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

forge alone is fine

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

the hybrid is

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

bukkit alone is fine

#

forge bukkit hybrid is like trying to merge a cow with a chicken

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

Forge is not buggy at all, and probably infinitely better than server apis at some degree

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

Forge itself on the inside is really bad though. Maybe not buggy, but a huge mess

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

you don't know whether it's eggs or milk that's going to come out of it and either way it won't be pleasant

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

Spigot seems a lot more clean

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

Because it is less complex?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

debatable

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

lmao

#

and that too

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

yes that contributes to it lol

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

bukkit is pretty crummy at some parts

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

You realize how complex it is to write a mod loader

#

and make it decent

#

LexManos and other devs spent a lot of time on Forge

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

shit like material enum and the infinitely wise decisions of using bytecode fucknuggetry for legacy compat don't help

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

not saying I could do it better lol

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

That is a big severe doubt lmao

#

creating your own mod loader

#

with only 1 dude

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

you misread what I said I think

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

oh

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

xd

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

Yeah i misread lmao

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

but my point is, yeah it does a very impressive amount of work, but nevertheless working with it is not pleasant

#

also some of the forge devs seem very toxic (look at their forums)

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:08 PM

#

being toxic is just a sign of being a man

#

a real man

paper viper Apr 25, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

They are toxic because they've been through a lot

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

fabric looking very promising though and more mods are switching over

lost depot Apr 25, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

hi peeps, where can i find more info on the use of api.spigotmc.org? My update checking code relies on https://api.spigotmc.org/legacy/update.php but it seems like that doesnt work anymore, i think? Gives me the wrong output at least

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

well, it says legacy on the tin

lost depot Apr 25, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

yeah, but it worked for me in the past with the same url

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

legacy stuff tends to expire

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

dense goblet fabric looking very promising though and more mods are switching over

Yeah I mean only odd thing could be that their api is a mod

lost depot Apr 25, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

well, if it really is outdated, does anyone know of an alternative way?

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

ivory sleet Yeah I mean only odd thing could be that their api is a mod

I think the idea is to be lightweight and modular

#

most fabric mods follow that mentality too

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

Why not just have the api shaded in?

wraith rapids Apr 25, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

muh jar size

ivory sleet Apr 25, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

Feels like most fabric mods are using the api anyways so wouldn’t be weird decision to shade it in or do I miss something here

dense goblet Apr 25, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

might make compat easier

#

like layers of abstraction in any area of computing
