I mean SQL scales better than flat files.

#

Unless you memory map them...

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:51 AM

#

The things is I don’t like how long it actually takes to “receive” the item since it has to connect to db

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:51 AM

#

Yes, so decide if your timers need to persist over a server start?

lost matrix Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

Anyways. Databases are usually needed if you have multiple server instances running and every instance needs the same data as the other servers.

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

By persist do you mean transfer over?

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

yes, so someone is waiting on a timer. do they still need to be waiting after the server restarts

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

be the same

lost matrix Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

proud basin By persist do you mean transfer over?

Persisting means that it does not vanish when the server shuts down

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

yes

#

It does

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:53 AM

#

ok it persists, so you need some form of database for it to persist

#

sql is slow

#

if timers are based on a single server the fastest would be flat file

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:53 AM

#

hm

#

ok

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:54 AM

#

well NBT-tags/PDC would be fastest. Next is flat file

#

also NBT tags means no database or file management for you

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:54 AM

#

was trying to understand the nbt api thing

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

7smile7 explained it for ItemStacks. Its identical for Player objects

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

yea

#

i would use entity

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

yes, Player is an Entity

#

NBTEntity nbtent = new NBTEntity(player);

//set
nbtent.setInteger("kitCooldown", time);

//get
if (nbtent.hasKey("kitCooldown")
    return nbtent.getInteger("kitCooldown");
else
    return 0;```

#

very simple

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 1:04 AM

#

don't I want time as a long?

eternal oxide Jul 28, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

yes, was just an example

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

nvm

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

eternal oxide yes, was just an example

so essentially if I did nbtent.getLong("kitCooldown") it would return the time for kitCooldown

A File represents a File on the hard drive. Its the basic java.io.File.
FileConfiguration is an in-memory representation of that file. So basically the data in the File was read and parsed into some sort of HashMap

lean gull so you can get a file from a directory but you can't get a directory of a file?

True. Just playing around with stuff helps so much understanding it.

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 2:46 AM

Yes

paper viper Jul 28, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

I am saying the File class can be used to represent a directory or a normal single file.

#

if it is a directory, it has its own methods such as listFiles which list the files of the directory

@lean gull I haven't been following this conversation at all really, but I can recommend a few great resources for you to help learn SOME of the basics

#

you really don't need more than an hour of work to learn the basics

#

the real basics

lean gull Jul 28, 2021, 2:48 AM

the codeacademy one takes like 22 hours i think

quaint mantle you really don't need more than an hour of work to learn the basics

actually may need longer

#

there are quite a lot of basics

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

depends how dedicated you are

how consistent you are

#

and how quickly you can pick it up

if you learned other programming languages of course

#

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

I wouldn't recommend that someone start programming with Java

#

Python or even Lua is a good place to start for true beginners

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 2:50 AM

#

I mean, I dunno python or how easy that is haha

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 2:50 AM

#

imo of course

#

python, lua, and JS are all very similar

#

so you get a lot of usage out of learning one of them

proud basin Jul 28, 2021, 2:51 AM

#

With NBTEntity you need to do NBTEntity entity = new NBTEntity(Entity) but I wanna be able to use the object in multiple methods without making a new instance for each method.

Why do you want to use the same instance over again? For the nbt lib that makes no sense. You are meant to create a new instance of NBTEntity if you want to modify the nbt data of one.

Sure. You can create a new NBTEntity in both methods. NBTEntity is just a wrapper class to allow access to the underlying Entity. The data withing the entity stays the same. Doesnt matter if 10 new instances wrapped it.

I don `t believe. On my Network, I never had this problem, until I updated my Bungee fork to 1.17 and ViaVersion.

Since then it started, but only in versions 1.8 - 1.12; any version 1.13+, does not throw this problem.

Also, I do not think that is what they comment, since the error occurs with practically any player, regardless of their name or prefix.

tough zephyr Jul 28, 2021, 4:43 AM

@wet jewel At what stage do they get it?

While logging in?

The settings packet is also hard limited at 16

wet jewel Jul 28, 2021, 4:44 AM

tough zephyr <@!253205790259675137> At what stage do they get it?

It is random. But it happens, when the player enters or changes the server; for example when using / lobby or entering a mode / arena.

Though not always. You can change the server a thousand times and not happen or change the server 10 times and happen every time.

tough zephyr Jul 28, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

Yeah no idea then. The only two packets I can think of with a hard limit of 16 on a string is the LoginRequest (name), and the Settings packet

#

But both of those would only cause a problem when you're connecting to the server

#

So maybe a plugin issue

wet jewel Jul 28, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

tough zephyr So maybe a plugin issue

But both of those would only cause a problem when you're connecting to the server

#

Later, I was reading the possibility that it was the ScoreBoard; I tried taking it out and it persisted.

Besides that I use TAB and in that sense, it is friendly.

#

Now, I just updated ViaVersion from 4.0.1 (which is up to date); to beta version 4.0.2 and I think the incidents decreased; but they still exist.

#

I also tried updating LuckPerms (which in the past gave me some trouble adding support for new versions), and the problem has persisted.

tough zephyr Jul 28, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

@wet jewel You don't have a stacktrace inside of Bungeecord's logs?

#

That'd be helpful

#

@wet jewel Oh you know what

#

That's actually a client error most likely. So you're probably sending too large of a string

#

Like a scoreboard or teams variable is over 16 characters long

#

Or the PlayerList entry is over 16

Or worldType

Iterate outwards from a coordinate and stop the loop once currentBlock.isAir() is false. If your max range is high you might want to use chunk snapshots, but that's more work (in a similar case, I use a Map<ChunkCoordinate, ChunkSnapshot>, where chunk coordinate is a pair of ints x,y and the hash function hashes based on those variables. You can get a chunk coordinate from a block coordinate with a bitshift)

#

Radius or diameter?

#

7 radius would be 14 diameter (or more likely 15 since you want it centered around the ball)

near crypt Jul 28, 2021, 8:50 AM

#

yes

#

right

dense goblet Jul 28, 2021, 8:51 AM

#

So maximum volume would be 15*15*15 = 3375 blocks, at most, to check

#

Which means you probably want to use chunk snapshots to reduce lag

Hey, I have a quick SQL Question;

I am trying to get every column in my Database using SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE user = 'user_name'
Checking the ResultSetMetaData, it returns every column.

Now going through the ResultSet with rs.next() in a while loop, only returns the first column though.
Any ideas ?

My table has 11 columns

@near crypt So you need something like:
Triple nested for loop for delta x,y,z going from -7 to +7.
Using distance squared should be fine for controlling the random chance. So let's say dist = dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz.
Then your chance to colour that block is baseChance/(dist+1) (plus one to avoid dividing by zero).
Roll a random number and if it is greater than the chance, skip this block (using continue;).
Otherwise, you have to check if the block is air. The current block's position is the snowball's position plus dx, dy and dz. Use world.getBlockAt and then check if block.isAir(). If yes, skip the block. Otherwise keep going.
Then, you have to check if there is a block between the current block and the snowball or not. You can do a raycast from the block's position to the snowball and see if it hits something. If yes, skip the block.
Finally, you set the block to whatever the coloured block is supposed to be.

when you say allow, do you mean to spawn them manually?

cinder plume Jul 28, 2021, 9:15 AM

hardy swan can I understand it as despawn all mobs that doesn't match a list?

no basically

i want to make a plugin that continously spawns a certain mob X [ and not despawn the mobs that are not X ] to simulate an apocalypse of mob X

#

like for example i want a zombie apocalypse

#

they keep spawning near the player , periodically

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 9:20 AM

#

BukkitScheduler#runTaskTimerAsynchronously(Plugin,Runnable,long,long)

#

where you runnable would be a callback to server thread
Bukkit.getScheduler.runTask(Plugin, Runnable)

#

In this runnable will you then spawn entities around the player

cinder plume Jul 28, 2021, 9:22 AM

#

bro im sort of new , i was thinking of doing something basic like

p.getLocation().getX() + new Random().nextInt(32)+1;

of this sort

What's nms

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 10:44 AM

#

nms is the standard minecraft code

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 10:45 AM

#

sand rune What's nms

net.minecraft.server package

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 10:45 AM

SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft

Solved - Spawning particles in 1.8.8?

Hello guys! So today I was coding something for my server which is 1.8.8, And I realized you can not just do
Particle.
You had to use...

which library is good for gui? any suggestions?

sand rune Jul 28, 2021, 10:46 AM

Thx @ivory sleet

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 10:47 AM

Interfaces, mf-gui, inventoryframework, bkcommonlib, helper and canvas are just some of them.

public class RightClick implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public static void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){

            e.getPlayer().sendMessage("Action.");
        }
    }

That triggers twice. Why?

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 10:52 AM

try filtering with right or left hand

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 10:52 AM

im doing that?

How can I get EntityPotionEffectEvent cause by golden apple? Because when I do:
if (e.getCause().equals(Material.GOLDEN_APPLE)) {, Intellij says Condition 'e.getCause().equals(Material.GOLDEN_APPLE)' is always 'false'

#

or should I ignore this warn

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 10:54 AM

#

are they even of the same type?

#

if not, it is always false

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 10:54 AM

#

because getCause() returns something completely else

smoky oak im doing that?

having a ide is helpful at times lol

#

on another note what's the reach of a player? I want to make that interact thing work at the same range as block placement

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 10:56 AM

5 for blocks

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 10:56 AM

neither of the methods take anythine else than int so imma settle for 5

gentle meteor Jul 28, 2021, 10:59 AM

hardy swan but somehow doesn't implement getBlockData()?? what version are you in lol

1.17

#

It implements get block data but it returns CraftBlockData for some godforsaken reason

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 11:00 AM

#

cant you cast that? Sounds like one extends the other to me

gentle meteor Jul 28, 2021, 11:00 AM

#

nope

#

you cant

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:00 AM

#

Nitidez yeah you should have a separate Command instance per command.

gentle meteor Jul 28, 2021, 11:01 AM

gentle meteor you cant

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_17_R1.block.data.CraftBlockData cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.block.data.type.Leaves (org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_17_R1.block.data.CraftBlockData and org.bukkit.block.data.type.Leaves are in unnamed module of loader 'app')

smoky oak Jul 28, 2021, 11:01 AM

#

thats because youre casting to type

#

do ((BlockData) craftblockdata).equals(Material.<Leaves here>)

queen niche Jul 28, 2021, 11:02 AM

Is it possible to make Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§7[§dInfo§7] " + ChatColor.BLUE + "De " + ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + args[1] + ChatColor.BLUE + " Is geopend!" + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + " [Klik hier om te warpen]"); a clickable like I did with this line:

TextComponent message = new TextComponent(ChatColor.GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "Info" + ChatColor.GRAY + "]" + ChatColor.RED + " Oh nee! Je hebt te weinig woorden gebruikt om de broadcast functie te gebruiken! /attractie [warpnaam] [attractienaam]"); message.setColor(ChatColor.RED); message.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.RUN_COMMAND, "/warp " + args[0])); player.spigot().sendMessage(message);

#

since the one is a textcomponent but the other is a bukkit.broadcastmessage

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:03 AM

Bukkit.getServer().spigot().broadcast()

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 11:03 AM

CraftBlockData does implement BlockData

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 11:03 AM

hardy swan The item might have popped to the side because it was stuck in a block

nop, for example i spanwed it in x:1,y:2,z:1. and it dropped to x:2:y:2z:0

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 11:04 AM

just a different subtype than Leaves

quaint mantle nop, for example i spanwed it in x:1,y:2,z:1. and it dropped to x:2:y:2z:0

heavy void Jul 28, 2021, 11:04 AM

ivory sleet Bukkit.getServer().spigot().broadcast()

If im right I should replace that with player.spigot().sendMessage(message);

#

gentle meteor `java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_17_R1.block.data....

A BlockData instance may not be a Leaves type however a Leaves instance will always be a BlockData type since Leaves extends BlockData

I want to know why Main dont enable Commands, if i put Commands.setupCommands().

And it dont sends any error to me.

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:06 AM

#

queen niche If im right I should replace that with `player.spigot().sendMessage(message);` ...

Look at implementation, from what I know broadcastMessage is not the equivalent of looping through every player and sending the message.

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:06 AM

#

heavy void I want to know why Main dont enable Commands, if i put Commands.setupCommands().

No thing is you’re never registering Commands.

heavy void Jul 28, 2021, 11:07 AM

#

ivory sleet No thing is you’re never registering Commands.

try {
      SimpleCommandMap simpleCommandMap = (SimpleCommandMap) Bukkit.getServer().getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getCommandMap").invoke(Bukkit.getServer());
      simpleCommandMap.register(this.getName(), "mysterybox", this);
    } catch (ReflectiveOperationException ex) {
      Main.getInstance().getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Cannot register command: ", ex);
    }

#

And it dont sends the "Cannot register" message in console.

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:08 AM

#

Which is called nowhere because you’re never instantiating a subtype of Commands

#

Just because you put something a class constructor won’t make it automatically calling itself

heavy void Jul 28, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

uhh

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

This is basic java. A class constructor is invoked when you instantiate the class.

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

you need to do sth like this

plugin.getCommand("").setExecutor(new ...);

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:10 AM

#

class A {
A() {

}
}
new A();

#

When the server meets the line new A(); then it will run the code inside the constructor which is the A() {...} part inside the class A

ivory sleet Jul 28, 2021, 11:17 AM

heavy void Jul 28, 2021, 11:19 AM

Why ;-;

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

unless you do sth weird in the constructor, you have to assigned your newly instantiated instance to a variable

#

or return it

heavy void Jul 28, 2021, 11:20 AM

#

Like making a variable to the MysteryBoxCommand class?

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 11:20 AM

otherwise, this instance is lost if the reference to it is lost

#

you can

#

@heavy void I feel this is more of a basic OOP concept

Unfortunately I don't think so. Gotta store it manually. Only tile entities can store data like that.

isnt it that entities lose nbt data on restart and you can store nbt in blocks?

that block acts as if its a chest

it depends on what you want to achieve

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

I am working on a furniture system where you can specify a list of barriers to use to simulate "hitbox"

#

If you only need one barrier, this is really easy because I can check if there is an invisible itemframe behind with the right persistent data

#

but if your furniture is made of 10 barriers, I would need to save the orientation and the root location in every block

#

so that if one of these blocks is broken, I can find the other ones

hardy swan Jul 28, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

you said invisible itemframe

#

it is behind one of these barriers right

#

for every "furniture"

quaint mantle Jul 28, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

yep right

#

so it's easy if your furniture is made with only one barrier, because you can easily find the item frame

but if this is a furniture with one item frame and 10 barrier blocks

then that's not easy

                        if (entity instanceof ItemFrame frame
                                && entity.getLocation().getBlockX() == block.getX()
                                && entity.getLocation().getBlockY() == block.getY()
                                && entity.getLocation().getBlockZ() == block.getZ()
                                && entity.getPersistentDataContainer().has(FURNITURE_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING)) {
                            if (entity.getPersistentDataContainer().has(SEAT_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING)) {
                                Entity stand = Bukkit.getEntity(UUID.fromString(entity.getPersistentDataContainer()
                                        .get(SEAT_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING)));
                                for (Entity passenger : stand.getPassengers())
                                    stand.removePassenger(passenger);
                                stand.remove();

Maybe just try firing an EntityDamageEvent and reduce the value of the targets health by the outcome. This way you also support other plugins.

if you want it completely custom per-block (like nbt is completely custom per item) then you can use a Map<String, ConfigurationSerializable> or Map<String, Serializable> as the value
