#

that one is for the spigot api 1.16 something, im not using it

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

Yep, no getLocation in 1.12

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

is there a way to tell gradle where to put the output file?

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

you're going to have to read the world, x, y, z, yaw, and pitch

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

like what you do with artifacts

worldly ingot Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

o.O I'm fairly confident getLocation() existed in 1.12

#

1.8, even

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:35 AM

#

should I use artifacts in gradle projects?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

wait

#

yeah

#

i dont use gradle much

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

actually it wasnt there in 1.12

#

paper viper you're going to have to read the world, x, y, z, yaw, and pitch

i am. The arenaConfig thing is my issue

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

worldly ingot o.O I'm fairly confident getLocation() existed in 1.12

Its not showign up in random 1.12 javadocs I googled

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

Yeah

worldly ingot Jun 6, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

Wow it didn't. Late 2019. I'll be damned https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/commits/a439ce02dc649961ce23012301141a139e9d373d

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

this is why you dont use outdated versions

worldly ingot Jun 6, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

It's serializable at least so you can set(Location) and get() and cast to Location

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

Can I just mention that the location part can't be the issue? I have the same issue with not being able to use arenaConfig in like every class

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

quaint mantle wait

uhh where do i put it

#

project.buildDir = '/gen/main/java'

#

build.gradle?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

i think

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

I use libsDirName

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

quaint mantle i am. The arenaConfig thing is my issue

ok use Location loc = Location.deserialize(arenaConfig.getConfig().get("lobbyLocation).getValues(true));

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

or nvm

#

you probably dont want that

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

where is /gen/main/java tho

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

change it

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

gradle is confusing

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

it has a steep curve for beginners

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

it really isnt

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

quaint mantle change it

so change it to

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

what you want it to be?

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

C:/blah/blah

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:39 AM

#

once you understand, its not that bad

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

maven is arguably as confusing

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

quaint mantle Can I just mention that the location part can't be the issue? I have the same is...

@eternal oxide

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

ivory sleet maven is arguably as confusing

nah its actaully satistically harder due to its features

#

and idk how to explain it but if you are using something like kotlin dsl

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

onBlockBreak where i use this.arenaManager.setChestLocation(event.getPlayer(), event.getBlock().getLocation());

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

digital plinth C:/blah/blah

#

i don't see it

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

um, do you mean you are not sure its even loaded. I thought you said earlier you could access it

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

there is very little support

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

in my downlaods

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

ok probably something with location

#

Yeah it is loaded

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

well if you understand kotlin then its as trivial as the groovy dsl

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

it all worked before when I used static on it all but yeah

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

do you know what static does?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:42 AM

#

I know but Im not trynna static abuse like I did

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 12:43 AM

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/694661573125472256/850671408170139698/nostatic.gif

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:44 AM

#

quaint mantle I know but Im not trynna static abuse like I did

ok lets test, in your PlayerJoinListener add some debug lines before your int x = arenaConfig java if (arenaConfig == null) System.out.println("arena is null"); if (arenaConfig.getConfig() == null) System.out.println("config is null");

#

I do notice you are using getInt on your config when its stored as a Double

#

Its probably going to be unhappy about that

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:48 AM

#

eternal oxide ok lets test, in your PlayerJoinListener add some debug lines before your `int x...

is this where I say that it doesnt print any of those

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:48 AM

#

use the Location.deserialize and it will deal with all that

#

good

#

now try adding the deserialize line I gave you and see if that errors

#

I'm going to guess after fixing all that code its the getInt

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

Looks like it has to be the get int yes

#

but before that, one question

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

just replace all that code with the deserialize then

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

Why wouldnt this one work for my other event class?? this.arenaManager.setChestLocation(event.getPlayer(), event.getBlock().getLocation());

#

same situation there

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

what is setChestLocation ?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:51 AM

#

https://paste.md-5.net/kujerigoki.cpp Everything is basically the same and worked other than I switched it up to use the constructor and not static

#

other than not using static, the thing is the same and worked then

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:53 AM

#

does it throw an error somewhere?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:54 AM

#

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

#

and line 26 is this.arenaManager.setChestLocation(event.getPlayer(), event.getBlock().getLocation());

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:56 AM

#

does it still error in the same place after all teh changes I told you to make?

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 12:56 AM

#

umm does anyone have any idea on how to stop entity collision when an entity is constantly being teleported to another

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:57 AM

#

eternal oxide does it still error in the same place after all teh changes I told you to make?

Copied the error from console right now with the changes you told me to make yes

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:57 AM

#

show me your ArenaManager class

#

sec

#

actually show me your listener class with the BlockBreak event in it

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

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

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

Where do you register that listener? its not in yrou main class

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

its in the same place

#

pm.registerEvents(new BlockBreak(this, this.arenaManager), this);

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

same place as this one pm.registerEvents(new PlayerJoinListener(this, this.arenaConfig), this);?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

yes

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

omg using gradle is really annoying

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

lol

#

May I assist?

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

i'd appreciate that

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

Sure what's the issue

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

first off what is this error

#

did i import the wrong api

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

no its a warning u can ignore probably

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

quaint mantle pm.registerEvents(new BlockBreak(this, this.arenaManager), this);

ok that error seems to make no sense.

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

but basically tells you that you're using deprecated stuff

#

which might not be ideal

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

also i don't think project.builddir works

#

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 1:02 AM

first and foremost you're missing a } at the end, second of all if you wanna set the destination use libsDirName probably

eternal oxide Jun 6, 2021, 1:06 AM

    @Override

        this.saveDefaultConfig();

i believe the api only does hiding and showing players for one player

and i dont think it does entitys

i think you can scale it when you spawn the particle

now my turn

so you launch a wither skull when you right clcik

on air OR on a block

but when i teste it

it spawns TWO skulls when i click on a block

and don't spawn any when i right clcik air

when a player is hidden

#

even the plugin can't reach it?

#

#

also how am i supposed to cancel a runnable like that

#

how 2 find the task ID

#

you close it with task id right?

young knoll Jun 6, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

Or the task reference

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

so lets say you have 3 players
player 1
player 2
player 3

now you have a plugin that when you run a command it will save your current location(location1), and when you run the same command it will storage the second location(location2) in a hashmap, so you can have as many locations as you want, so now it looks like this

hashmaplocation1:location2

and if you run the same command again it will storage your current location (location3) so you can run the command again and save the second location (location4)

hashmap<[location1:location2],[location3:location4]>

perfect now you have a hashmap with 2 sets of locations, this was all made by Player 1, but lets say you have another player, Player 2 in the same server, same world, same everything, and if Player 2 runs the exact same set of commands, does this create another hashmap for Player 2 or storages this new locations set by Player 2 in the same hashmap as player1?
My main question is: Does each player has his own version of each plugin in the server or do they all share the same plugins and data?

digital plinth Jun 6, 2021, 3:27 AM

yea but how can a server provide the same information to all players? how can you storage information for each player

young knoll Jun 6, 2021, 3:34 AM

#

Use a map with their uuid as a key

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 3:35 AM

#

so taking the same example of the commands and locations i did before

#

it would be
hashmap<[KEY= PlayerUUID: [location1, location2]]>

#

so its a list with the player uuid as key

#

?

young knoll Jun 6, 2021, 3:36 AM

Yes

Look into multi maps

They simplify storing 1 key -> many values

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 3:36 AM

young knoll Jun 6, 2021, 4:28 AM

I believe you can use a predicate with that method

#

Or you could use a good old for loop with an if statement

weak mauve Jun 6, 2021, 4:29 AM

#

young knoll Or you could use a good old for loop with an if statement

young knoll Jun 6, 2021, 4:30 AM

Loop over the collection, if it matches what you want add 1 to a number

weak mauve Jun 6, 2021, 4:30 AM

#

hm

#

ok

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

how could i have a hashmap like this:
HashMap<UUID, List<Integer>> list = new HashMap<UUID,List<Integer>>();
that everytime you run a command adds a number to the list in the player uuid key, where the value is the next digit in the list for example if the list is [1,2] add 3 to that list so the hashmap is
<playerUUID, [1,2,3]>

#

or just add a string

#

the args 0 of the command

#

so like
<playerUUID, ["string0", "string 1"] etc

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

So you mean

#

You'd run a command like /thing add String

#

And it would add it to the list?

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:37 AM

#

yes to the list inside the hashmap

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:37 AM

#

Ok cool

#

That's very easy

#

First, initialize the map

#

Map<UUID, List<String>> map = new HashMap<>();```

#

You probably want to keep this as a member field

#

Then to add to it in a command:

#

Player player; //Assume this is populated with the command sender
String toAdd; //Assume this is populated with the string to add
map.computeIfAbsent(player.getUniqueId(), k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(toAdd);```

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

oh wow, whats the ->

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

It's a lambda

#

You know, that might be a bit complex if you don't understand what lambdas are

#

Here's an equivalent

sage swift Jun 6, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

lumbda

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

waxen plinth You know, that might be a bit complex if you don't understand what lambdas are

yea i saw it a few times with scheduelers, its on my todo list

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

List<String> list = map.get(player.getUniqueId());
if (list == null) {
  list = new ArrayList<>();
  map.put(player.getUniqueId(), list);
}
list.add(toAdd);```

#

This does the same thing

#

But the one-liner is much more elegant

#

computeIfAbsent takes a key and a lambda to generate a value if there isn't one present, and returns the existing or computed value

#

Which you can then call add on to add the string

#

Very handy

#

A lambda is essentially just a function that can be passed around

#

That's the easiest way to think of it

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:40 AM

#

waxen plinth ```java Player player; //Assume this is populated with the command sender String...

but this will add the value if key is absent right?

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

k -> new ArrayList<>() is a lambda which takes one parameter, k, and returns a new ArrayList

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

sharp bough but this will add the value if key is absent right?

Yes

#

It will create a new list if one doesn't already exist

#

Under the hood, a lambda is shorthand for the anonymous class definition of a functional interface

#

In this case the functional interface is Function<K, V>

#

A functional interface is just an interface which only has one (abstract) method

#

In the case of Function it's public V apply(K)

#

So k -> new ArrayList<>() is equivalent to:

#

new Function<String, List<String>>() {

  public List<String> apply(String key) {
    return new ArrayList<>();
  }

}```

#

It's just much much shorter to express the same thing with a lambda

#

Which of course is why lambdas exist

#

Does that make sense?

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

okay thats a lot of information 1 second

#

ok so i got that computeIfAbsent will add the Value if Key is null, where key is the player uuid, and value is
k where k = Key and Key is a new list generated with lamba wich is represented using ->, where -> is a shortcut to the functino that returns the arralist, so you define the arraylist cuz V is null, and then you add the value wich is a String arg0

#

now what im gonna try to do is computeIfAbsent, if its null, else get the arraylist and add the value, where K is player uuid

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

???

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

fk hell this is starting to hurt somewhere in my brain

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

computeIfAbsent returns the existing value if there is one

#

Otherwise it uses the function you pass to create a value, inserts that value at the given key, and returns it

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

waxen plinth computeIfAbsent returns the existing value if there is one

yea wich means the K is null

#

its the if else you made

#

in a single line

#

right?

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

waxen plinth ```java List<String> list = map.get(player.getUniqueId()); if (list == null) { ...

this one

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

Yes

#

It does everything you need in a convenient one-liner

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

sharp bough now what im gonna try to do is computeIfAbsent, if its null, else get the arrayl...

This is what I don't get

#

You don't need any if/else with computeIfAbsent

#

If it makes it easier you can do it like this

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

yes but what im trying to do is have a hashmap where K is the uuid, and theres a list of all the args0, not adding it if its null

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

So you don't want to add a value if it's null

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

cuz once you run this command it will create the key, and once the key is no longer null it wont add the new args0 when you run the command again

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

waxen plinth So you *don't* want to add a value if it's null

i want to always add it

#

if its null or not

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

sharp bough so like <playerUUID, ["string0", "string 1"] etc

like this

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

Then what do you mean "not adding if its null"

#

Ok so if there is no mapping at all for the player already

#

Do you want it to create a new list and add the arg as the first element?

sharp bough Jun 6, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

yea my problem was getting the list, adding the value and changing the V of the player K

#

but i think that with the help you gave me i got it

waxen plinth Jun 6, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

So there's no if required and you don't need to handle null

#

computeIfAbsent will put the list in if it was null previously, then return it

#

So you just call add on that list and you're good to go

How can I find what kind of portal an entity went through? The PlayerPortalEvent has a TeleportCause that serves this purpose, but the EntityPortalEvent seems to lack a way to figure this out. I tried testing the block the entity was in, but it appears the entity can teleport without being in the portal block depending on the speed of its movement.

#

I'd like to find the actual block of portal the entity entered anyway.

worn tundra Jun 6, 2021, 5:59 AM

#

Try a move event maybe?

#

Not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve here

silk tusk Jun 6, 2021, 6:03 AM

#

I'm trying to modify what happens with portals, to allow players to make portals to specific locations. The portals are going to be specified by in world differences, so I need to be able to find the portal they entered in order to check for that.

#

It looks like the player has to be within 0.3 blocks of the block that is actually the portal in order to contact the portal, so I can check the block locations at ±0.3 in x and z to find the portal.

worn tundra Jun 6, 2021, 6:11 AM

#

It is called when player is about to teleport

#

Check the players world

silk tusk Jun 6, 2021, 6:11 AM

#

yes, the issue is the block the player is standing in isn't the portal block, but sometimes the one next to it

worn tundra Jun 6, 2021, 6:12 AM

#

Theres a location from & to

#

Would that help?

silk tusk Jun 6, 2021, 6:12 AM

#

should probably check to be sure though

worn tundra Jun 6, 2021, 6:12 AM

#

If he isn't standing on the portal block exactly you can always do extra functions to locate the portal

silk tusk Jun 6, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

The from block does appear to be the same place as the player (and thus not the portal) so I guess I'll just check the blocks slightly offset, that seems to be working

silk tusk Jun 6, 2021, 6:16 AM

The player should only be able to teleport using a portal they have already touched, so I'm guessing that would always fire first with the correct portal block for the player. (thus ensuring the cache is always correct)

                    startBlock.getLocation().add(6, 1, 1).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(4, 1, 2).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(5, 1, 2).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(6, 1, 2).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(3, 1, 3).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(4, 1, 3).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(5, 1, 3).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(2, 1, 4).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(3, 1, 4).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(4, 1, 4).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);
                    startBlock.getLocation().add(1, 1, 5).getBlock().setType(Material.GRASS_BLOCK);

But need to check if the block I am gonna replace is Air so I wont destroy anything. But is there an easier way than doing an if Statement around every block I am placing? I am placing a lot more than only them above....

how can i add 1.8 support to a 1.12.2 plugin?

#

i want the 1.12.2 plugin has 1.11, 1.10, 1.9 and 1.8

#

i've see a plugin that starts from 1.12 and has 1.8 support

eternal night Jun 6, 2021, 8:43 AM

#

You code against the 1.8 spigot API

#

The plugin should then work against the mentioned versions

#

Obviously will break if nms is involved

Spigot is backwards compatible for the most part

#

So if you use spigot only there is a high likelihood that it will work on older versions anyways.

However, if you use nms, it will not work on any other versions unless you use reflection or something

If I have two locations how can I calculate the circumference of the rectangle

wraith rapids Jun 6, 2021, 9:20 AM

#

assuming it is an axis-aligned rectangle, calculate its shape and then calculate the circumference

if it's not axis-aligned, two points isn't enough to identify it

river spear Jun 6, 2021, 9:23 AM

if that's even possible

but should I do it

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:32 AM

I mean speaking of how NamespacedKey is instantiated you do need a plugin instance right?

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:32 AM

that's what I was talking about

#

how do I get main to the enum

#

hence me saying if that's even possible

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:33 AM

Of course you could use something like
PluginMain.getInstance() or JavaPlugin.getPlugin(PluginMain.class)

Now we know that I CAN do it, SHOULD I though?

it's that like a good thing to do?

#

i start by paper and i add spigot support

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:35 AM

#

lau_sam it’s probably fine here since we’re not writing enterprise java code here

#

But enums can be very limited and needless to say static can also

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:35 AM

#

so when codes get big, it would ideally have enums for it

#

but for the scale we're doing at it doesn't matter?

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:36 AM

#

Yeah it really doesn’t matter for a spigot plugin I think

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:36 AM

#

or that the other way round

#

I see

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:36 AM

keen kelp so when codes get big, it would ideally have enums for it

But this isn’t always the case

ok i'm knowing, i'm getting info also from spigotmc.org

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:38 AM

#

but for the sake of not needing to add a NamespacedKey in the constructor of everything Imm just make an enum for it

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:38 AM

#

Yeah I mean some people overuse that. While I could see a point in doing so for the purpose of learning you probably want to avoid any over engineering or overuse of a single tool.

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

nice

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

Yeah lau it might be beneficial to do it here so that you can decouple your namespaces from whatever class you had them in before

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

bruh

#

my water just rolled over my keyboard

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

Lol

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

So I should just pass the namespacekey all around?

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

With the enum?

#

Arguably even using an enum here is redundant

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

the choice is either have a NamespacedKey in every constructor(that needs it ofc) or have an enum right

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

interface Namespaces {
  NamespacedKey SOME_KEY = create("test");

  NamespacedKey create(String key) {
    return new NamespacedKey(JavaPlugin.getPlugin(PluginMain.class,key);
  }
}```

#

That might be enough (using an interface to cut down verbosity)

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

ivory sleet ```java interface Namespaces { NamespacedKey SOME_KEY = create("test"); Nam...

Because with an enum you’d need to expose a getter or a field to obtain the namespacedkey

that's because you're iterating over all players in the same runnable

and subtracting timeleft with each iteration

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 10:16 AM

@keen kelp now let’s say you wanna use the namespace SOME_KEY, then for instance you might have this:

class ListenerBlah implements Listener {

Hello! Is there easy way to change string for example "COD" to "Cod" or "DIAMOND" to "Diamond"?

eternal night Jun 6, 2021, 12:01 PM

#

and the object array you are using to pass the parameters can only store Integer

#

as ints are native/primitive

maiden briar Jun 6, 2021, 12:01 PM

#

Oh...

#

And in reverse, if the constructor is (Integer, Integer) and I try to parse an int, does it work?

you will need to specify what type you want to use I am afraid

maiden briar Jun 6, 2021, 12:04 PM

Can't I add a boolean for "primitive" ?

eternal night Jun 6, 2021, 12:04 PM

#

or try every possible combination of object and primitive type

#

huh ?

#

You are only passing in a parameter object array tho

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 12:04 PM

Imma head out this convo is getting confuuusing

eternal night Jun 6, 2021, 12:04 PM

either you interpret every Integer as an int

#

which would mess up constructors that take Integer

maiden briar Jun 6, 2021, 12:05 PM

#

Can't I just try and catch?

keen kelp Jun 6, 2021, 12:05 PM

yes but then you'd have to try every combination of Integer or int

cause you can't

right

Newbie at bukkit/spigot API (and java in general TBH)
This looks like it's horrible code, What's a better way of dealing with items with durability?

Inventory inv = ply.getInventory();
for (int size = 0; size<inv.getSize(); size++) {

    ItemStack item = inv.getItem(size);
    if(item != null){

        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        if(meta instanceof Damageable){

            Material type = item.getType();
            int min = config.getInt("min_damage");
            int max = config.getInt("max_damage");
            int durabilityChop = type.getMaxDurability() / (int)Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1)+min);;

            ((Damageable) meta).setDamage(((Damageable) meta).getDamage() + durabilityChop);
            item.setItemMeta(meta);

            if(type.getMaxDurability() - ((Damageable) meta).getDamage() < 0){
                inv.setItem(size, new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
                ply.getWorld().playSound(ply.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_ITEM_BREAK, 1, 0.8f);
            }
        }
    }
}

lusty cipher Jun 6, 2021, 12:22 PM

#

I mean for one, for better readability you would be better of doing

ItemStack item = inv.getItem(size);
if (item == null) continue; // Skips the current iteration of the loop to the next one.

pine elbow Jun 6, 2021, 12:23 PM

#

ah yeah, fair.
Juggling the ItemMeta and Damageable seems odd to me

lusty cipher Jun 6, 2021, 12:24 PM

#

other than that, maybe

if (meta instanceof Damageable) {
  Damageable damageableMeta = (Damageable) meta;
  // no need to cast damageableMeta anymore.
}

or if you're using Java 16 or newer:

if (meta instanceof Damageable damageableMeta) {
  // no need to cast damageableMeta anymore.
}

is it because skull.getType?

You didn't cancel the event on that new code... just broadcasted a message

}

My code only cancels for specific actions

#

Not clicking

maiden briar Jun 6, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

Is it easier to listen for an event on all the priorities so you don't need to create 6 methods?

stone sinew Jun 6, 2021, 1:48 PM

#

try using .equals instead of == in this case. on newInventory.equals(ChallengesMenu) Also... every time you type that command its creates a new inventory so if you're still viewing the old inventory instance this will always be false.

#

Correct its not initialized until you type the command.

#

That can work to.

#

Debug. something isn't equal to your object

#

Then people can just create inventories with that name

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:05 PM

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

then use DustOptions

#

to set the color

#

okay thx

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:20 PM

dustoptions works with spell?

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

Hm

#

it says in the docs actually its for redstone

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

yeah idk if it could be used for anything else besides that

#

if it can thats kinda neat

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

Ok so according to the client changes, the World#playEffect(location, effect, int)

#

you just pass in the color you want for the int actually

#

you dont use DustOptions

#

The integer should be an rgb color

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

si i need to use DustOption ?

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

No

#

Let me check something to make sure, maybe even spawnParticle isnt the right method

#

cause there is playEffect

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

public <T> void spawnParticle(@NotNull Particle particle, @NotNull Location location, int count, @Nullable T data);```

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

And then you can try passing in an Effect and integer rgb color

#

Not sure tho, I need to verify this

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

i think you can use the offset x y and z parameters for colors

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

Yeah

#

int rgb = red;
rgb = (rgb << 8) + green;
rgb = (rgb << 8) + blue;

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

quaint mantle i think you can use the offset x y and z parameters for colors

hooo okay

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

I think that would be how you get the rgb int

#

and pass that into the color

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

the count parameter also controls the alpha iirc so you can only spawn 1 at a time

paper viper Can we see the code?

i'm testing your method with rgb data plz wait

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

Oh ok

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

worldly ingot scheduler is fine here

just wondering should you use the schedule methods if you want to check if the scheduling failed or not. Because I usually use BukkitRunnable

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

I mean both works

bleak reef Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

Its printing test so its fine

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

paper viper Oh ok

don't work too

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

Can you show code

worldly ingot Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

It's just a little nicer to write

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, () -> {
    // whatever
}, 0L, 20);```

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

loc.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.SPELL, x + 0.5, loc.getY(), z + 0.5, 2, 255l, 0l, 0l);```

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

Pulse the only reason I would not use the BukkitScheduler would be where you want to take advantage of the impurity BukkitRunnable may offer

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:35 PM

World (Spigot-API 1.16.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT API)

#

ivory sleet luckily enough EntityMoveEvent isnt a thing

vale cradle Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

paper viper then use DustOptions

How many Particles are compatible to DustOptions?

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Uh I guess you could use a repeating task to check movement

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

tribal holly yep but there is not Potion effect

or maybe potion break ?

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

how to set item position in gui?

cold tartan Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

ivory sleet Uh I guess you could use a repeating task to check movement

dang

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

tribal holly or maybe potion break ?

Yeah try that

#

then for the rgb, use the code i sent above

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

cold tartan dang

Yeah it's kinda dodo

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

which coverts the r, g, b into one integer

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

quaint mantle how to set item position in gui?

Inventory#setItem

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

vale cradle How many Particles are compatible to DustOptions?

I think its only redstone

#

Options which can be applied to redstone dust particles - a particle color and size.

#

yeah

vale cradle Jun 6, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

Then, I guess the color of the SPELL must be determined by the speed

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

wdym

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

paper viper then for the rgb, use the code i sent above

it work but there is like a potion break with the sound and it don't wanna this

vale cradle Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

the speed of the particle may change some misc stuff of the particles

quaint mantle Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

paper viper Inventory#setItem

ItemStack one = new ItemStack(Material.FEATHER);
ItemStack[] menu_items = {one};
gui.setContents(menu_items);

I did this

paper viper Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

tribal holly it work but there is like a potion break with the sound and it don't wanna this

Hm let me see

tribal holly Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

loc.getWorld().playEffect(new Location(loc.getWorld(),x + 0.5, loc.getY(), z + 0.5), Effect.POTION_BREAK, 0);```

ivory sleet Jun 6, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

quaint mantle ```d ItemStack one = new ItemStack(Material.FEATHER); ItemStack[] menu_items = {...

that wont compile
