[opal juniper]

pathfinding

Drones

remember the conversation

about bombs

it got a bit harder

[eternal oxide]

I could make it work over a longer distance but it all take time

[opal juniper]

when we thought about all possible terrain features

yeah

but

no

[eternal oxide]

it can currently navigate any maze so long as you are within around 20 blocks

[opal juniper]

what if it flys into a cavern

umm

ok

so

what if it flew under an overhang that was then a dead end

[cloud berry]

guys i found this in me old code

    {
        d *= 100;
        if (d >= 0.0) d += 0.5;
        else d -= 0.5;
        int i = (int)d;
        return (double)i / 100d;
    }```
somthin tells me its bad 😳 cn any1 confirm?

[eternal oxide]

So long as you are within 20 or so blocks of your target it can navigate out

[opal juniper]

but how would it know it was gonna fly into and therefore needed to fly over

[eternal oxide]

you run the path algo before you move. It will return a path of block locations for you to navigate between

one sec

[opal juniper]

meh

i asked in paper and they were like "code it urself or use the ghast shit"

he is getting it

rn

i imagine

cause it aint public yet

this was the plan

let me show what im doing atm

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[opal juniper]

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

this was the proof of concept code

for going from point a to b

i dont like how i calculate the distance

yeah that figures

so i mean

idrk how to incorperate the height shit into it

huh?

must have missed it

or just been stupid

yeah

so

sure

true

This? https://paste.md-5.net/omuvazuzux.java

[eternal oxide]

ok, you have a 1.17 client?

[opal juniper]

yeah

[eternal oxide]

server at palmergames:1

[opal juniper]

am i being stupid or is that not an ip

[cloud berry]

#math #progammin #lessons 🤓 im takein notes

[opal juniper]

true

[eternal oxide]

its a server addres, don;t forget the :1

[opal juniper]

how do i join

[eternal oxide]

oh sorry

[opal juniper]

im stupid

[eternal oxide]

palmergames.com:1

I'm bad

[opal juniper]

dont worry

just glad it wasnt me

[hoary knoll]

does callEvent pause the current code until all event handlers have run?

i was just wandering because the handlers are not directly called, im just firing the event

also i know how java works im not stupid

ok

[proven ocean]

Hey there, I have a problem when checking whether an item is damageable or not. Doesn't matter which item I check my code always returns true:

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

[hoary knoll]

i was just making sure. Calm down

[hasty prawn]

What items are you checking

[proven ocean]

every Item of a players inventory

thats what I thought.... Any ideas how to check if an item can actually be damaged?

[opal juniper]

ok im back

so

what were you saying i needed

an if statement to check it is actually wrong

ok

😄

if (vectorDistance > distance) velocityVector.multiply(distance / vectorDistance);

?

ok

[serene agate]

persistentdatacontainers vs sql database

[opal juniper]

the former

well

[serene agate]

always over sql database?

[opal juniper]

it depends on what you are storing

what are you storing

[serene agate]

what r some cases in which sql database be appropriate?

[opal juniper]

large amounts of data imo

^

[serene agate]

so like usernames n passwords?

ah ok

[opal juniper]

yeah

but hash them

[serene agate]

sha256

[opal juniper]

@ebon abyss

this approach causes it to majorly overshoot

should i take a fraction of the vector?

yeah, but i had a method to make the vector a tad better

lemme do some control + z

    private double getMultiplier(double distance) {
        if (this.maxDistance == 0.0) this.maxDistance = distance;
        return (distance/this.maxDistance) * 4;
    }

idk what i was thinking about with the if statement

but poorly named vars

distance = distance

between drone and end

maxDistance was the distance from start to end

but i just did it stupid

well

it would never be small enough to get to 0

cause of the if distance <= 1 {cancel()}

but essentially yes

myeah but:

        if (start.distance(end) <= 20) {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You are too close to the target!");
            return true;
        }

so

it was not an issue

true

[eternal oxide]

http://palmergames.com/libs/Simple_AI.zip Not bothering with a repo for it as its not a lot of code

[opal juniper]

corrupted?

[eternal oxide]

sorry rename to 7z

windows is shit

[opal juniper]

np

[eternal oxide]

http://palmergames.com/libs/Simple_AI.7z

[opal juniper]

it goes like 10000000 mph

[opal juniper]

cooool

[eternal oxide]

the prune method may nto be quite right but its close

[opal juniper]

vector: 0.0,0.0,22.5

yeah this is gonna be too fast

30 blocks

this.distance = this.startingNode.distance(this.finalNode);

startingNode = spawn

finalNode = target

wat?

oh

i just changed it to this:
if (vectorDistance >= 0.5) velocityVector.multiply(0.5 / vectorDistance);

works

now the gravity is an issue

ie

it is being pulled down

but i want to

i mean

yeah i then realised

no it wont overshoot

considers

yeah i get you

i just mean in general it wont overshoot

yeah

fair

https://paste.md-5.net/ekicomujak.java
this seems good

i will probs work out a better way to scale the speed at some point but this is good for now

now, pathfinding

meh, not atm

but an idea

i mean

are you familiar with the game satisfactory

ojk

so

[quaint mantle]

Hello! How can I change mob's pathfindergoal while mob is living? (I meant, I want to change pathfindergoal when it spawned. not before spawn)

[opal juniper]

i saw a dev log the other day

of them implementing drones

and the way they did

is that they had a "world grid"

so essentially each "chunk" had a height that was safe to fly at

im thinking of using that and then elgarls algo to find the route from one y to another

yeah

that was my initial plan

most likely deliveries

but could be anything

ummm no it is unlikely, it would be more like player x wants to send 64 diamonds to player y

using their locations as the start and end

this is an issue

so

despawn the entity

👍 we have the same idea

mhm

only issue is if the player goes and unloads the chunk for delivery

may want to add a load on start

something like this

yea i see what you mean about caching

howver i dont really know how much there is to cache

i mean

this was not gonna be the usecase

but i see what you mean

true

ok

so

what is the best solution to getting them to manage their y

cause to work out the y of a chunk

u need to know the chunk the drone is about to fly into

oh wow

cause atm you have to just loop thru every block to get the highest

its gonna be nms i reckon

lemme ask the paper people

[dusk flicker]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/understanding-stack-traces/

[opal juniper]

ok

[final monolith]

can someone review my first plugin? I posted on github

here is the link: https://github.com/LaivyTLife/DataAPI

😄

[opal juniper]

there are 16 chunk sections right?

[final monolith]

D:

[opal juniper]

no

but the argument would be 0-15 or 1-16?

[final monolith]

Hey, jeff how i can use multiples versions in my plugin with Maven?

[opal juniper]

nms versions?

[dusk flicker]

static

[final monolith]

idk...

is that the name? NMS?

[opal juniper]

Net Minecraft Server

im gonna go for a bit anyways

ciao

[dusk flicker]

Might have to translate to the other version of nms due to net Minecraft server doesn't fully exist anymore in 1.17 with other packages

[final monolith]

oh, i will use lowercase now

[dusk flicker]

?conventions

[undone axle]

Java Coding Conventions: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[final monolith]

its the right way?

[dusk flicker]

Look at that link for conventions

[final monolith]

what you mean?

ooohh yeah

i will fix

[chrome beacon]

Folders are structured like a maven project but there is no pom.xml

[dusk flicker]

Currently at -6000220 points

[final monolith]

i will rename to PlayerVariable

its my first plugin, sorry

;-;

i will async

[dusk flicker]

-6005220 points

[hasty prawn]

This point system seems arbitrary

[chrome beacon]

Try to be more specific and creative with names than this

[final monolith]

its new PlayerVariable(player, varname)

looks more sense

[chrome beacon]

Yeah but the name tells us nothing about what it's for or what it does

[final monolith]

ohhh, yeah

maybe {PluginName}API.class?

renaming...

[chrome beacon]

Only the Main class of an application should ever be allowed to be named Main

And since it's a plugin you shouldn't use that

[final monolith]

yes, now that i realized it, i wouldn't realize it alone

[tame fern]

Created and spawned a custom cow entity, server just closes, no error. Great fun.

[final monolith]

thanks for tips guys

@ebon abyss maybe this?

[dusk flicker]

Ehh

I'd just name it LvData

[final monolith]

no?

[dusk flicker]

For the main

[final monolith]

🤔

[dusk flicker]

A decent amount of plugin devs just use the plugin name as the main class name

[final monolith]

i didnt like that

will rename the .class

[paper viper]

Please do not add Main

Or use Main at all

For your class names

In a plugin

[quiet ice]

I'm surprised noone said anything about the wildcard static import

[final monolith]

omg sounds perfect

[chrome beacon]

^^

[paper viper]

I thought originally that had some sort of enums or smithing but it’s a class

So yeah don’t do that

[dusk flicker]

How many points

[paper viper]

No it’s not

[manic crater]

For some reason in 1.15.2 when i try to code and use "extends JavaPlugin" New project im working on btw but it doesnt work

[final monolith]

120141241112 points

[dusk flicker]

We're at -6005220 rn

[paper viper]

No do not use Main or have it anywhere in yo class name

Bad bad bad

[final monolith]

renamed, renamed

[paper viper]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/why-you-shouldnt-name-your-main-plugin-class-main.493289/

I really didn’t want to pull this out

Lol

[final monolith]

woof, now its good

thanks for the tips guys

but send more plizzzzz :lmao:

[dusk flicker]

☕

[tame coral]

Just name it by the name of your Plugin

[paper viper]

PluginMain is literally no difference still. Implying Main the first place in general is despised severely

Adds unnecessary verbosity to the name

Exactly

Just name it your plugin

So what?

Do you have to add Main for everyone to know it’s the main class?

Not at all

It isn’t accurate, it has worse side effects lol

[ivory sleet]

It may be confusing and awkward to work with if you have dependents who depends on your plugin main class

[paper viper]

^

[ivory sleet]

sure it would work fine if its just internal

well it would work fine all the time

true

[paper viper]

Or just literally name it MyPlugin

Lol

[quiet ice]

Hey, this got posted the same day I joined this discord again

[paper viper]

But it isn’t good either… you know right

So don’t recommend it lmfao

[final monolith]

you see my readme.md? 😄

looks good?

do you find it necessary to put this in async?

just an Alter table

[plush citrus]

where do i start the process to reset my stash password? I get the following in an email when trying to reset my password:

Bitbucket is unable to reset the password for your account because it is managed by a read-only external directory. Please contact your administrator to change your password.

[dusk flicker]

I don't believe the stash has public accounts

[plush citrus]

ok

[reef wind]

Is anyones else Firefox on mobile broken when visiting a redirect site like spigotmc?

Aight

I will never go near chrome

It is

Chrome is ass

Right @daring sierra @quaint mantle

[quiet ice]

the sheeple use brave nowadays

I think, idk

in part yes

[reef wind]

no “I give you ads I give you money”

[quiet ice]

but it's main selling point is "privacy" and it's obnoxious ads

[reef wind]

It shows ads as a notification on windows and you get BAT

Currently it’s worth nothing

who cares about privacy

[daring sierra]

[quiet ice]

I have heard that facebook can reduce the oculus price by around 300$ simply by selling your data

[reef wind]

Sounds good to me

[quiet ice]

So, I wouldn't say that privacy is worth nothing

[daring sierra]

but yes I agree chrome has poor resource managment and awful loading times with slow internet

[reef wind]

Not like anything bad happens because companies sell your info?

Just cheaper prices and more relevant annoying ads

[quiet ice]

Nothing all too bad has happened yet

[quaint mantle]

❤️

[reef wind]

❤️

[quiet ice]

And even if they would know all my personal info - most of this personal info is public anyways for me

[quaint mantle]

Mac is ass

[reef wind]

We are boosters dumbass

Poor ass/j

[quiet ice]

Most of them got it by exploiting epic games

[reef wind]

I have bought and cancelled a lot of times

[final monolith]

how to use main thread variables in async?

[reef wind]

People say nitro is ridiculous and that everything is nitro but they forget discord is free.

[reef wind]

#help-development

[quiet ice]

or push them in some kind of struct to pass them around the threads

[final monolith]

wowowowowowowowwo

solved

thanks

[tame coral]

Ye

[tame coral]

we are in #help-development

bruh

[quiet ice]

ni

[reef wind]

Wait wat

[quaint mantle]

Idiot

[final monolith]

?confused?

lmao

[reef wind]

Bye see you in #general

Maybe

[opal juniper]

Juice man

You there

Im not sure how i should go about getting the chunk that the drone should fly at

should i take the max height of the three 9 chunks it is in/surround it

like this?

makes senes

yeah

[reef wind]

not equally sized 😭

[opal juniper]

to get the vector direction i assume i have to calculate it manually

[opal juniper]

lmao

something like tan^-1(x/z)

where x & z are the respective components of teh drones vector?

wait

hmm

im not sure that is the whole thing cause it just returns the internal angle of the triangle

[grim ice]

will Array index is out of bounds error stop my code from working

[opal juniper]

its an exception

so unless you have some error handling

yes

[grim ice]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[opal juniper]

wait i could just work it out by using the sign of the components

[unkempt ore]

It's not special, it's a runtime exception

If you let an exception climb all the way up, it screws you

Though an AIOOB exception isn't something you catch. Again, it's a runtime exception, so it's something to be prevented, not fixed

[grim ice]

https://paste.md-5.net/ucojuqucij.js (im trolling my friend in a troll server) so i want everything i say after /shadow get executed without showing in the console even without me having op perms

dw its just a troll server with my friends lol

and they agreed for the server to be troll plugins only

[unkempt ore]

I don't think anyone cares about motives here, it's fine man lmao

[grim ice]

idk man i dont wanna get banned or smth

[unkempt ore]

We're just here to fix code

[grim ice]

okay

im getting Array index is out of bounds

warning

line 28 23 and 32

[jovial abyss]

@grim ice Java arrays start at 0

[grim ice]

ik that

[hasty prawn]

You don't know that args[0] exists

[unkempt ore]

You need to determine the size of the array at runtime and why it'd not be there

[grim ice]

i know

[unkempt ore]

Like they're saying, you're showing no guarantees that these accesses will be there

[hasty prawn]

ok so that's where your error is

Or, warning

[unkempt ore]

Error, he's getting AIOOBd

[hasty prawn]

Yeah he's said both

[unkempt ore]

I see

[grim ice]

how to

fix it

[hasty prawn]

I mean they're the same thing, IDE is just telling him the error is gonna happen LOL

Check if args.length >= 1

[unkempt ore]

Also, hex, get the command sender on one line first of all

And your chain of ifs is a job for switch

[grim ice]

i swear

i tried it lul

like if i ctrl z

a few times

itll show lol

[unkempt ore]

Show us the code where you have that

I'm sus

[hasty prawn]

Well, think about it this way as well:

You're checking if args.length is 1, and then accessing the second index. It never exists.

[grim ice]

i cant find it its way before

[grim ice]

how?

[unkempt ore]

Why are you giving the player op with this command

[hasty prawn]

Wdym how

[unkempt ore]

That's out of nowhere

[unkempt ore]

Listen, if the args length is 1, the only index you've got is 0

You don't have index 1

[hasty prawn]

^

[unkempt ore]

That'd be length 2

[grim ice]

ty

[unkempt ore]

Now slow down, that's not the only thing weird with your code

Why are you giving players op inside the command

That's strange

[grim ice]

wat

[unkempt ore]

Look at the code

[grim ice]

yes?

[hasty prawn]

I think that's what it's intended to do

[unkempt ore]

If the command is "shadow" you're giving them op

[hasty prawn]

For the troll

[grim ice]

yes

[unkempt ore]

But like why?

[hasty prawn]

One note I'd make is that the console can be defined outside the if statements

Since it's all the same

[grim ice]

yeah

i know that

[unkempt ore]

Yes, I told him that

And use a switch

[grim ice]

i was just copy pasting thats why

[hasty prawn]

Ah ok

[grim ice]

alr alr

[hasty prawn]

copy pasting :(

[unkempt ore]

Honestly it's still weird. I don't understand what giving op is doing

[livid tundra]

how do you assign data to an entity

[unkempt ore]

Please be more specific

You probably want PersistentDataContainer, but please specify

[livid tundra]

I'm not really sure, It's for a future project I didn't start yet

[unkempt ore]

What

[livid tundra]

anyways, I'll check out the persistent data container

[unkempt ore]

I mean, maybe tell us what sort of data you'd want to attach to the entity

Maybe you haven't made the project you speak of, but what is your purpose

[vivid temple]

how do i prevent myself from a NULL error?

[chrome beacon]

Don't access a null value

[unkempt ore]

You make sure you don't- ^^^^

[unkempt ore]

Spoonfeeding but this happens when you have a type at runtime which is null and you try to act on it. NullPointerException, because you're working with a pointer to null, which doesn't make sense. So be sure what you access isn't null

[grim ice]

this isnt spoonfeeding

lol

spoonfeeding is

tell him to

[unkempt ore]

Nah

He could do his own research

[mighty vine]

Or you always use try and catch for nullpointerexception Kappa

[grim ice]

if(thing != null){
//code
}

[unkempt ore]

Cursed

[grim ice]

what i said is spoonfeeding

im f eeding the spoon

[ivory sleet]

it isnt

[unkempt ore]

Unless it's from IO or user input somehow

[ivory sleet]

thats just pseudo code, wouldnt define it as spoonfeeding

[grim ice]

im pretty sure an ide will show what is a npe

[unkempt ore]

It can show you what may be

[grim ice]

i mean uh

how r u even supposed to spoonfeed npe

[unkempt ore]

Because there is the @Nullable tag and such things

And it'll say "Hey, this may be null, be careful"

[grim ice]

uh

even I, who sucks at java

would know npe

lol

[quiet ice]

@Nullabke and @NotNull are not enforced

They are mere suggestions and may be wrong

[grim ice]

honestly

most of the time

i ignore npe

[ivory sleet]

[grim ice]

cuz it doesnt do anything

sometimes it does

[quiet ice]

ignoring exceptions?

[grim ice]

yes

for example when u do if(inv.contain(Smth){}

itll tell u

[quiet ice]

Did you code your code defensively or is it more regular code?

[grim ice]

wdym

[ivory sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/destroy-the-sith-star-wars-it-was-said-that-you-would-destroy-the-sith-not-join-them-gif-16486235

[quaint mantle]

lmao nnyak got banned again

[unkempt ore]

Who

[quiet ice]

well, you cannot ignore NPEs if your code wasn't written defensively

[quiet ice]

Jolly christmas hitler

[unkempt ore]

Hehhhh?

[quiet ice]

this person

pretty sure that he also had shroomster2 and juice man as his alts too

[eternal oxide]

He gets banned often

[quaint mantle]

apparently he was racist in paper

and he's banned so as long as he comes back hes getting banned

[unkempt ore]

Wait, what? I remember that guy

He had mad skills

[eternal oxide]

So we are banning for peoples behavior in other Discords now? or did he do something in here?

[quaint mantle]

atitude

he was rude to people in here and was warned alot

[eternal oxide]

k

[unkempt ore]

Dang

[ivory sleet]

he wasn't just racist in paper to begin with

[grim ice]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[unkempt ore]

That's disappointing

I thought he seemed cool

[quaint mantle]

yeah he was super helpful but a shitty person

[grim ice]

Anyone knows why is my plugin not working? https://paste.md-5.net/liniwujaco.cs

no error in console

[ivory sleet]

anyways he will probably find a way to disguise himself and snake into this discord again so presumably wont be the last time you meet him

[grim ice]

Bruh you know

this is against tos

[unkempt ore]

If you're gonna cancel the event in all branches, just cancel it at the end

[grim ice]

so you can probably report him

[unkempt ore]

Not an error, but just saying

[ivory sleet]

nothing we can do about it

[grim ice]

Okay but that wont change it

[unkempt ore]

_ _

[quaint mantle]

its not

[grim ice]

it is

ban evading

[quaint mantle]

its not

nvm it is

google lied

[grim ice]

lol wtf

did u not read tos tho

[unkempt ore]

Who actually reads the tos seriously...

[quaint mantle]

just dont break rules

[grim ice]

I do

[unkempt ore]

You're so weird

[eternal oxide]

He's one of those people who is fine for a bit, quite helpful at times, then needs a ban to quieten him down

[grim ice]

I'm a mod in multiple servers

I had to read tos multiple times

lol

[quaint mantle]

not really

[grim ice]

I have read them over 20 times

[unkempt ore]

What...

[quaint mantle]

its pretty easy to remember

[unkempt ore]

I'm a mod too, do not care for TOS

[grim ice]

in the time of 3 years

[unkempt ore]

It is common sense, all of it

[grim ice]

anyways

Anyone knows why is my plugin not working? https://paste.md-5.net/liniwujaco.cs
No error in console

[unkempt ore]

Okay but

What is "not working"

What conditions

[grim ice]

/shadow

I didn't test others but they prob won't work either

[unkempt ore]

What is it supposed to do and what is it doing

[grim ice]

it's supposed to op me

it did not

[quaint mantle]

seems like a horrible command to have

[unkempt ore]

When you do..what command?

[grim ice]

/shadow

[unkempt ore]

Ikr? I kept asking him why it would just make anyone op, but no clear answer

Why not just have op to begin with

[grim ice]

It's for trolling

lol

[unkempt ore]

_ _

[quaint mantle]

console: player executed command /shadow
made player an operator

pretty obvious

[grim ice]

I can't stop it from showing?

[unkempt ore]

You can

[quaint mantle]

you can but idk why

[unkempt ore]

gamerule broadcastConsoleToOps

[grim ice]

I thought it will since im doing the code before the command is happening

PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent

anyways may you help me

[unkempt ore]

So let me get this straight, /shadow would just give you op, and that's it. /shadow give @a dirt would give you op then give everyone dirt on behalf of the console

[grim ice]

No

it wont give u op if u have more than "/shadow"

[unkempt ore]

Ah, but aside from that?

The rest is true

[grim ice]

yes

you cant do it without using console cuz u r not operator

[unkempt ore]

Your logic is very weird. Rather than having that chain of arg lengths, cut off "shadow " from the input and run that

[grim ice]

what

[unkempt ore]

How do I make that simpler

[grim ice]

still

my weird logic

wont make the plugin not work

[unkempt ore]

I've heard of dispatchCommand being unreliable

[grim ice]

wat do i use then

[unkempt ore]

What if you try Server's dispatchCommand

Just to see

[grim ice]

...

[chrome beacon]

Wdym?

[grim ice]

did you even read my code

[unkempt ore]

I don't remember, but a friend attempted to make something like this and he said dispatchCommand wouldn't work well

[grim ice]

wait

ConsoleCommandSender console = Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender();

[unkempt ore]

And it wouldn't actually run as the console

[chrome beacon]

It will if you use it correctly

[unkempt ore]

Is he using it incorrectly?

[grim ice]

Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender().dispatchCommand(console, args[1]);

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like it

[unkempt ore]

That's...no

[grim ice]

Then show me the correct way please

[chrome beacon]

Bukkit.dispatchCommand(sender, command)

[near crypt]

when a player holds nothing in the hand is it then Material.AIR ?

[chrome beacon]

Item will be null

[near crypt]

okay thx

why is this in the PlayerInteractEvent always true (Intellij says that)? if(event.getItem().getType() != null)

[hybrid spoke]

since the material can't be null

just the item can be

[near crypt]

oh yeeeess true thx lmao

[grim ice]

Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender(), args[1]);

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

[chrome beacon]

If args 1 is the command yes

[grim ice]

then why is it not workig

[chrome beacon]

Also I don't think you need to use getServer

[chrome beacon]

Show what you typed in the command

[grim ice]

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

this is my class

i did /shadow and it did not op me

Anyone knows why is my plugin not working? https://paste.md-5.net/liniwujaco.cs
No error in console

[hybrid spoke]

bro chill

[near crypt]

https://paste.md-5.net/dayenofuci.cs why does this class not work?

[eternal oxide]

Why are you trying to add a secret hidden op command?

[grim ice]

a troll serve

server

with my friends

[eternal oxide]

yeah

[grim ice]

i wont give it to anyone

or publish it

lol

if i was gonna give it to someone i wouldve not sent it here

[hybrid spoke]

what exactly is not working..?

[grim ice]

@eternal oxide so do u have an idea

of how can i fix

[near crypt]

there is an exception when i try to right/left click the fire charge

[hybrid spoke]

so send it

[near crypt]

what?

[hybrid spoke]

the exception obv.

[near crypt]

oh okay

[hybrid spoke]

also enums should be always compared with the "==" operator

[near crypt]

oh okay

[grim ice]

Anyone knows why is my plugin not working? https://paste.md-5.net/liniwujaco.cs
No error in console

another repost ig

[near crypt]

and why?

[quaint mantle]

gogole it

[hybrid spoke]

because its null safe and there is no extra method call

[near crypt]

okay

[hybrid spoke]

just wait for an answer..

stop spamming it in

Gah !

[hybrid spoke]

whats in line 20

[near crypt]

the fire charge if

if material is firecharge

[hybrid spoke]

so either your metadata is null or anything with your enchantments

[hasty prawn]

My guess is args[0] is never "shadow"

Its probably "/shadow" or the command isn't included maybe?

Put some print statements, see where it gets, learning to debug your code is something you need to do

[hybrid spoke]

the command should be always args[0]

[tame coral]

^

[paper geyser]

appreciation post for the people who reply to questions here

you guys are very swag and cool and great thank you guys

[hasty prawn]

I wouldn't know since I don't use CommandPreProcessEvent for logic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[hybrid spoke]

same

[unkempt ore]

Okay I'm back did you fix Hex's shadow bs yet

[grim ice]

no

[unkempt ore]

Dang

[paper geyser]

like you do this work for free so thank you

[unkempt ore]

Anything new?

[grim ice]

no one uses this event so like

no one can fix it

[unkempt ore]

Teaching is the best way to learn

[tame coral]

facts

[grim ice]

arg 0 is the command

[hybrid spoke]

#getMessage returns the command the player has sent. so shadow is args[0], but probably its "/shadow" @grim ice

[tame coral]

a month ago i didn't know anything about spigot

[hybrid spoke]

check for "/shadow" since its in the message

but i am not sure

[grim ice]

the way im using it rn

is safer i think

[unkempt ore]

Any updates in code?

[hybrid spoke]

because of the /? xd

[unkempt ore]

Also yeah it probably is /shadow

Gets the command that the player is attempting to send.
All commands begin with a special character; implementations do not consider the first character when executing the content.

I'd think the / is included

[grim ice]

o

how would i use i

it

[hybrid spoke]

by just adding a "/" to your equals check?

[grim ice]

ok=

[tame coral]

when ran from the console the / isn't included, is it ?

as you can run commands in the console without /

You should consider this case as well

[grim ice]

its not supposed to be used in the console

[tame coral]

Okay

Then add a check for it

[unkempt ore]

Well that's misleading. It can and can't be

[tame coral]

^

[grim ice]

please try to give me a solution

instead of this

[tame coral]

Huh

[grim ice]

lol

[unkempt ore]

Did you add the /....

Dude

[grim ice]

uh

[tame coral]

It's not hard to do

[unkempt ore]

We are trying

[grim ice]

if (event.getMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("shadow")) {

u mean this?

[tame coral]

yeah

[grim ice]

thanks then

[final monolith]

Hey guys, look my first plugin: https://github.com/LaivyTLife/DataAPI

please, send me tips to improve it 😄 thanks

[grim ice]

bro'

wtf

dont advertise ur things here

[ivory sleet]

I think it’s fine

[tame coral]

it's not advertising, they're looking for tips

[ivory sleet]

Not like it suits any other channel better, after all it’s programming help

[tame coral]

like if they sent the spigot link it would be an ad

[grim ice]

anyways

[hybrid spoke]

its a code review

[tame coral]

but it's the source code so...

[grim ice]

anyone has an idea

[tame coral]

we just told you a solution ???

[grim ice]

which is?

[tame coral]

goddamn

[unkempt ore]

Oh my god.

[final monolith]

i only need tips to upgrade my plugins

[grim ice]

sorry im dumb

[tame coral]

do you read the messages

[hybrid spoke]

search it up yourself

[unkempt ore]

Amnesia

[hybrid spoke]

scroll

[tame coral]

yeah it's fine

[grim ice]

im the only one who will use it

[tame coral]

I'm not experienced enough to give hints yet i guess

[ivory sleet]

Daniel uh well first of all, follow official java naming specifications

[final monolith]

🤔

like... ?

[ivory sleet]

package names, lowercase

[tame coral]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[ivory sleet]

^

I think luzifer can review the rest (:

[final monolith]

its correct uppercase the "plugin" package?

[tame coral]

nah, package name should always be lowercase

[paper geyser]

^

[final monolith]

oh, okay i will lowercase now

[tame coral]

refractor it with intellij, don't rename it raw

[final monolith]

yeah, made it

[tame coral]

good

[final monolith]

😄

like this?

[tame coral]

Yep

[final monolith]

yup

[tame coral]

ngl this looks better too

[hybrid spoke]

your naming convention is shit. you are totally static abusing, why are you nulling the bukkittask but nothing else? its null by default. you don't have to explicit instantiate your vars inside the onEnable. such as the gitlink you can instantiate right away.

why do you have 2 database folders? dont run your database stuff sync. dont close the connection in your try catch, close it in the finally so it will be closed for sure. choose an other name for your Variable class, its redundant and non-telling what it actually do. think of the SRP when creating your classes.

thats for everything i looked at yet. so 2 classes or smth. now gonna get some food

[ivory sleet]

Oh that might come a little harsh for the guy

[paper geyser]

^

[tame coral]

Eh

[final monolith]

thats not looks a constructive suggestion

[tame coral]

They ask for tips, i mean that was kinda rude but at least it's helping

[ivory sleet]

Well I’m not in the mood for reviewing code today but maybe another day 🙌

[final monolith]

ill use the finally to close connections

but... what is the difference?

[hybrid spoke]

finally is called whatever happens

your try catch can break at any time

so it could cause a memory leak

[final monolith]

yeah, i know

[final monolith]

oh

[hybrid spoke]

its not rude. its the hard truth

[final monolith]

maybe you can tell me your "hard truth" saying how i can fix

anyway, i understand a few things, i'll fix it

[hybrid spoke]

i did.

[grim ice]

uh

back

[hybrid spoke]

brb

[grim ice]

still no response dang

guess the idea is just impossible

[hybrid spoke]

we already fixed your issue @grim ice

[grim ice]

huh?>?

where??

[hybrid spoke]

or is it a new one?

[grim ice]

no the same issue

how? where

[hybrid spoke]

yeah we already fixed it. read the chat.

[grim ice]

i read it

[hybrid spoke]

so brb

[grim ice]

BREH'

[quaint mantle]

control + f 🙃

[whole stag]

It wouldn't be useful to, ya know, actually say what order the items should be in...

[ivory sleet]

Myes Bukkit design

[final monolith]

like this?

[ivory sleet]

Try with resources

[final monolith]

hm?

[grim ice]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

try (PreparedStatement statement = ...prepare) {

}

[grim ice]

anyone knows a solution

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

still cant figure it out

[tame fern]

When I do this, and use the spawn egg, it spawns like 500 of them and I have no idea why.

@EventHandler
    public void spawnEntity(CreatureSpawnEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntityType().equals(EntityType.COW)) {
                ((CraftWorld) e.getLocation().getWorld()).getHandle().addEntity(new CowAngus(e.getLocation()));
Bukkit.getLogger().info("Spawned Cow!");
        }
    }

[grim ice]

its a loop

when a entity is spawned it repeats itself

[tame fern]

I assumed, but how do I spawn the entity without calling the event again.

[jovial abyss]

@grim ice You should add a break otherwise you have a fall through

[grim ice]

Ohhh

[tame fern]

Let me try it.

[grim ice]

v

case 2:
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(console, event.getMessage());
event.setCancelled(true);
break;
case 3:
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(console, args[1] + " " + args[2]);
event.setCancelled(true);
break;
case 4:
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(console, args[1] + " " + args[2] + " " + args[3]);
event.setCancelled(true);
break;

like this

?

[jovial abyss]

should be fine

[final monolith]

how?

[jovial abyss]

or you could you use switch expression if you use java 13 or greater

[ivory sleet]

You don’t need to close

Try with resources does that for you

[final monolith]

🤔

ooohhh

[unkempt ore]

Consider try with resources

[final monolith]

thats make sense

[unkempt ore]

It implements AutoCloseable, which is a Java held interface

Java knows to do that for you

[final monolith]

so... thats auto close?

[unkempt ore]

Yes

[final monolith]

wowowowo amazing

[unkempt ore]

When the scope leaves, Java will close for you

Also you can just put that loadPlayer after the try-catch, no need for the finally

[grim ice]

@unkempt ore

btw

can u explain to me

wat was the solution

becuz im dumb

[unkempt ore]

Did you try with the /

[grim ice]

wdym

[final monolith]

like this?

[grim ice]

im trying getMessage now

[unkempt ore]

Newline that please

[final monolith]

;-;

[unkempt ore]

But yes

[final monolith]

ok

[grim ice]

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

[unkempt ore]

I just discovered it lmao

if (event.getMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("shadow"))

[grim ice]

wat

[unkempt ore]

You're only executing "shadow". And if that's not all, try putting "/shadow" there and tell me what it says

[grim ice]

if that was the case saying shadow would work

[unkempt ore]

Like I said, try /shadow

[grim ice]

Okay

[unkempt ore]

Because I don't know if getMessage will include the slash

But I think it will. The docs don't imply otherwise

[hybrid spoke]

thats what we already discovered before

and he didn't even noticed it

and was too lazy to look it up

[unkempt ore]

Lmao

[hasty prawn]

Yeah didn't we say to try "/shadow" like 15 minutes ago LOL

[hybrid spoke]

15 minutes ago 15 times

[grim ice]

uh

wait

LMAO

[unkempt ore]

:|

Yknow what I believe you about being a discord mod now

[grim ice]

Not being good at programming does not mean that

[unkempt ore]

Does your beard go down to your stomach

[grim ice]

uh, no

[unkempt ore]

Okay but did you fix it

[grim ice]

Not yet, im compiling'

[tribal elbow]

Alr, so I am going to need some custom plugins for a server. I plan on creating them myself but needed a place to start. I am familiar with HTML/CSS and can somewhat read java without being taught.

I just need some info.

1. What is all used for plugin creation? I assume java, but does it use more than just java? Like javascript or smth similar.

2. Is there a place where I can find a list of MC variables for the coding, or do I have to play it by ear?

Also, I assume I can use Dreamweaver since you can code just about anything in it. But is it better to use smth like eclipse or netbeans?

Ty in advance!

[unkempt ore]

1. yaml but it doesn't count

2. what...

3. If you're comfortable with...whatever that is, go ahead. But most will recommend IntelliJ IDEA

[tribal elbow]

Also, I don't mind being pinged or DMed if you need more info

[hasty prawn]

JSON is also used sometimes, depends on what you're doing

[hybrid spoke]

1. Java, YAML, build tool lang, spigot (or any other fork) - really depends
2. javadocs i guess, whatever you mean
   what is dreamweaver

[grim ice]

Use IntelliJ

dreamweaver is an IDE iirc

[unkempt ore]

What the heck did he mean "play it by ear"

And what MC variables

[tribal elbow]

Dreamweaver is like netbeans or eclipse. It is Adobe's coding software

[hybrid spoke]

ew

[unkempt ore]

I was afraid to look it up

And I was right to

What the heck is this UI

VSC is better than this

[hybrid spoke]

editing my photos in my dreamwaver IDE from adobe

[unkempt ore]

Yes

[grim ice]

lmfao

[unkempt ore]

Adobe needs to stick to graphics bruh

[hybrid spoke]

nah adobe is just for making graphics

[unkempt ore]

They posted cringe on main

Smh

[tribal elbow]

I mean like the variables in the code that are relative to Minecraft. Because Java is used for so many diff things. There has to be some argument or variable for MC

[unkempt ore]

Ummmm...

I don't know how to respond

[ivory sleet]

?Jd-s

[grim ice]

@unkempt ore

[ivory sleet]

Oh

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[grim ice]

it worked

[ivory sleet]

@tribal elbow

[unkempt ore]

Ok

[grim ice]

but thing is

other stuff dont work

only the op one works'

[unkempt ore]

Yes...that is what I told you

[ivory sleet]

I mean sure there are variables but Java is fully object oriented to no inherited top stuff like other langs

[tribal elbow]

Ah, gotcha

[ivory sleet]

Everything is basically contained in classes which you need to import in order to use their respective variables and functions

[tribal elbow]

So it's more a case by case thing?
For example, to create a command like /stone that simply places a stone block. Wouldn't there be some term or name for the code to.know what that is amd what to do? (Haven't looked at Java too much sry xd)

[unkempt ore]

Mr. Fisher I'll ask right up front. Do you know Java

[ivory sleet]

?learnjava

[undone axle]

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.

[tribal elbow]

I said I did not

[unkempt ore]

Ah, didn't see

[ivory sleet]

I would strongly suggest reading into Java a little bit more 😉

[unkempt ore]

What do you know

[tribal elbow]

I know a moderate amount of html/css

And can read stuff like java but dont know the lang

[unkempt ore]

Hmmmm, yeah, no, forget everything you know. This is a different world

[tribal elbow]

Like I can see that this does this but idk why xd

[ivory sleet]

HTML and CSS vary humongously from Java

[tribal elbow]

Deff xd

That's why I was asking what languages were used

So I can do some studyinf

Studying

[ivory sleet]

Yeah just Java should be the answer

[unkempt ore]

Would be kinda nice to have a safe navigation operator in Java now that I think about it

Off the topic

[tribal elbow]

Javascript would be more if I wanted to link smth to a website right?

[ivory sleet]

Safe navigation operator?

[unkempt ore]

Sorry, sorry, I don't think that's the name

Might be confusing it

[ivory sleet]

I mean it’s just too make websites interactive and functional

[tribal elbow]

Exactly

[ivory sleet]

possibleNull?.doSomething()

[unkempt ore]

But it's something like var thing = object.getThing() ?? (fallback thing);

[tribal elbow]

Alr

[unkempt ore]

And it reacts if it's null

[tribal elbow]

That's the java I remember xd

[unkempt ore]

Trust me, it's not

[ivory sleet]

Java has ternary but it’s not like that

[tribal elbow]

Been like 6 years since I last looked at java xd

[unkempt ore]

Well you didn't see that

[quaint mantle]

thats gotta be javascript if you saw that

[unkempt ore]

JS has it

Yes

[ivory sleet]

Oh guess you mean this tho Operation

[unkempt ore]

And some other language, I forgot

[ivory sleet]

Kotlin has it, in fact a lot of high level langs got it

[unkempt ore]

What happens if it is null

Does it just not do that

[tribal elbow]

Conclude, could you DM basically what you told me?

What code is used and those educational links for java.

[ivory sleet]

Just won’t chain

Yeah it just decides to stop lol

Always wanted to learn java and be able to code plugins and such..just never started xd

[ivory sleet]

Feel free to type those commands in #text I guess

[tribal elbow]

Aight

[tribal elbow]

I am familiar with the idea of coding, just not java

I looked into java like 6 years ago and just never tried to actually learn it

[unkempt ore]

6 years

[tribal elbow]

Like 4-6

[unkempt ore]

That's like...how long I've been programming for

[tribal elbow]

Breh xd

[unkempt ore]

Back in 4th grade bruh

[quaint mantle]

Anyone know a calculation to check how much of something a player can afford with an increasing price? Without the need of for loops.

Like the max the player can afford

[dusty herald]

whats 4th gradw

that signifies nothing

[unkempt ore]

What

[tribal elbow]

I'm graduated and was in votec xd

[unkempt ore]

How does it signify nothing

[dusty herald]

for all we know you could be a 5th grader

[unkempt ore]

I was in 4th grade 6-7 years ago

[dusty herald]

how old are u 😳

[unkempt ore]

16

[dusty herald]

😂

[grim ice]

uh

[unkempt ore]

Are you okay?

[dusty herald]

no

[grim ice]

he just said he was 4th grade 6 to 7 years ago

[unkempt ore]

Ok

[grim ice]

lol

that means hes 11th grade or 10th

[unkempt ore]

Idk man

He probably has dementia

[dusty herald]

yeah but you don't have to be [insert age here] to be in 4th grade

[unkempt ore]

And the number 16 is just hilarious to him

[vivid temple]

when either the chest or the paper in my main gui gets clicked not the depositGUI nor the withdrawGUI gets opened
