id unno why a map

[quaint mantle]

I didn't notice that I wrote EconomyManager.setupEconomy (); in the wrong place

[tardy delta]

and no i dont want > 1

[quaint mantle]

public void onEnable() {
instance = this;
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new BubleUse(), this);
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new GUI(), this);
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ItemUtil(), this);
EconomyManager.setupEconomy();
File config = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "config.yml");
if (!config.exists()) {
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveDefaultConfig();

    }

}

[maiden briar]

Yes I already thought so

Did you fix it?

[quaint mantle]

if (!config.exists()) {
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveDefaultConfig();

[tardy delta]

Listener[] omg

[quaint mantle]

я это написал здесь

I wrote it hereъ

EconomyManager.setupEconomy();

[quaint mantle]

yes. thanks

[maiden briar]

Ok np

[quaint mantle]

thank you very much for your help

[maiden briar]

And my patience 😄

But anyways u can always ask me

[quaint mantle]

okay, thanks

[prime reef]

if your fly command doesn't accept any extra arguments, then you should be able to safely discard the extras

also, where is 'p' coming from?

[grim ice]

ofc it can

[lavish hemlock]

well it depends on if the variable is set after initialization

[grim ice]

final doesn't make a set immutable so it should be fine?>

[lavish hemlock]

some people do that to clear a collection as opposed to .clear()

which can be faster sometimes

[prime reef]

anyway I have no idea what suggestions you're looking for

but off the top of my head you could condense it into this

private HashMap<UUID, Boolean> flyingPlayers = new HashMap<>();

protected boolean execute(CommandSender sender, String[] args) {
   Player target;
   // you could do this in one line but for the sake of readability i'll do it this way
   if (args.length >= 1)
       target = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
   else if (sender instanceof Player)
       target = (Player) sender;

   if (target != null)
       flyingPlayers.put(target.getUniqueId(), flyingPlayers.containsKey(target.getUniqueId()) ? !flyingPlayers.get(target.getUniqueId()) : true);
   return true;
}```

i changed the method because i have no idea where you're getting 'p' from

you shouldn't be generating a new instance of a command every time a player uses it, if that's what you're doing

[ivory sleet]

indeed

[tardy delta]

p is the player

[prime reef]

yes

I gathered as much

[grim ice]

imagine one letter variables

[prime reef]

but where are you getting that? because it's not an argument in your method

[tardy delta]

wdym?

[prime reef]

Where's p coming from?

[tardy delta]

parent class

^^

[prime reef]

What's the parent class?

[tardy delta]

abstract command

[prime reef]

...are you setting p every time a player executes a command?

[tardy delta]

no

parent class has the oncommand method

[prime reef]

so p is a class level variable?

[tall dragon]

he probably uses something like this

public abstract class TargettedCommand extends SimpleSubCommand
{


   protected TargettedCommand(SimpleCommandGroup parent, String sublabel) {
       super(parent, sublabel);
   }

   @Override
   protected void onCommand() {
       final Player player = findPlayer(args[0]);
       onTargettedCommand(player);
   }

   protected abstract void onTargettedCommand(Player target);
}

[prime reef]

his execute method only accepts arguments and the command class has a class-level variable called 'p', from what I can gather

[tardy delta]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[tardy delta]

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

[prime reef]

so you are in fact setting p every time a command is executed

can you see why this would cause problems?

[tardy delta]

no

[tall dragon]

its generally not really encouraged to cache a player object either

[prime reef]

^ mutable

which is why it would cause problems

instead of doing that, just pass the relevant player in through execute

[tardy delta]

:/

[prime reef]

it's not a massive change to make to your existing class

[severe marsh]

How do I connect my plugin to discord webhook and log events with it?

[tardy delta]

why would i pass the player every time if i can get him from there

[prime reef]

just add a CommandSender parameter to execute and pass that in through your onCommand method instead

[tardy delta]

i know but why

[prime reef]

because you're not caching and operating on a reference to a mutable object that way

[severe marsh]

?

[ivory sleet]

I suggest using a discord wrapper library

such as JDA or Javacord or Discord4j

[tardy delta]

gimme sec

[ivory sleet]

implementing low level logic to handle discord api is gonna take you quite the effort

so just use a library for it 😄

[prime reef]

not 100% certain how spigot's server thread works but there's a risk of running into situations where that player object changes and messes up the results of a command execution

[severe marsh]

Alright got any good tutorials for it?

[tardy delta]

jordan osterberg

[ivory sleet]

there's lots on the internet, find one and send it here and I'll review

[prime reef]

this. i hate java culture ("how do I do [simple task]?" -> "import [massive library]"), but this is a valid use of "import library"

[ivory sleet]

are we talking about mutating the player map or just the player object?

[ivory sleet]

yeah lol

[prime reef]

for context, we're discussing his command class, whereby each command caches a reference to the player that last used it and uses that to execute the command

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

this

[severe marsh]

https://youtu.be/LPaW1Xw_wUs what about this one?

[ivory sleet]

that ones probably fine

[tardy delta]

lmao i just copied the link

[prime reef]

whereas i'm saying that you should only be passing through command senders as parameters rather than caching them

[severe marsh]

O

[prime reef]

esp since player is mutable

[severe marsh]

Well guess I'll watch it then

Thanks for help 👍

[ivory sleet]

yeah well its not a great design

[tardy delta]

i dunno what caching is

[ivory sleet]

but a player instance is valid during its entire online session

[prime reef]

hanging onto a reference for later use

[ivory sleet]

that is login all the way to disconnect

[lapis veldt]

What's a good auction plugin?

[prime reef]

it'll more or less work, but there's pretty much no need for it

[ivory sleet]

storing things for later use

[prime reef]

and again depending on threading/etc. there can be issues

[ivory sleet]

yeah

[prime reef]

because if your object changes in the course of command processing, it will produce undesired results

also a reason to never use mutable keys in a map

[tardy delta]

ah yea but i'm storing the player no?

[ivory sleet]

well the majority of bukkit api isnt thread safe and is made for the server thread merely

[prime reef]

that's what I was afraid of

[tardy delta]

yea maybe changing the value on every command but yea

[ivory sleet]

ye

[prime reef]

basically, code with the assumption that everything can and will break

murphy's law lmao

[tardy delta]

nothing will break here :/

[prime reef]

also good practice to follow best practices just to keep yourself sharp (^:

[ivory sleet]

myes java

List::of

[prime reef]

i hate java

[tardy delta]

LMAO

[prime reef]

it was my first language but C# is just so much better

[ivory sleet]

yeah its great except its unorthodox choices of cases

[prime reef]

Java's main thing is being cross platform

[opal juniper]

At what point can plugins no longer be added to the plugins folder to be detected for that session? If a plugin that loads on STARTUP adds a plugin will it be detected that session?

[tardy delta]

i only use C# for visual parts

[ivory sleet]

probably

[prime reef]

i mostly use C# for game dev, since Unity/MonoGame (or XNA depending on your age), but writing desktop applications for Windows with it is piss easy

[ivory sleet]

isnt startup like ultra early

[prime reef]

I deliberately chose it for some accessibility software I wrote because I knew the friends I originally wrote it for would be happy to just have an .exe that runs out of the gate

[opal juniper]

It is but the fact that It is loading plugins indicates that it may have already "locked in" teh plugin list

ie ->

Gets all plugins
loads the ones @ STARTUP
does the other shit
loads the ones @ POSTWORLD
final stuff

[prime reef]

okay before I go, I'll drop my original question here again:

how inefficient would it be to forgo using NMS pathfinding in favor of writing my own (version-independent) code? the implementation isn't the issue, I'm just wondering if having a thread running to manage entity AI and pathfinding would cause any sort of massive overhead compared to the development overhead + pain in the ass factor of using NMS.

[opal juniper]

and a plugin added at Startup may not be detected

hmm - this may be a question for the paper folk

[prime reef]

tl;dr I'm writing an AI system that people can extend with their own custom coded modules and script onto entities mythicmobs-style and NMS is just cursed

[crude sleet]

    public static void updateLevel(Player p) {
        Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(all -> {
            Scoreboard scoreboard = all.getScoreboard();
            Objective obj;

            if(scoreboard.getObjective(p.getName()) == null) {
                obj = scoreboard.registerNewObjective(p.getName(), "dummy");
            } else {
                obj = scoreboard.getObjective(p.getName());
            }

             XYSection section = (XYSection) user.getSection(new XYSection(p));
            obj.setDisplayName("§7→ §bLevel §7| §f" + section.getMana() + "§7 → §bMana");
            score.setScore(section.getLevel());

            all.setScoreboard(scoreboard);
        });
    }

Hello, I would like to set the mana and level as the BELOW_NAME of each player. Unfortunately i have the problem that it is set correctly for one player, but the same mana number is set for the next two as for the 1st set and the levels are then 0

[floral pewter]

Hey, is there any documentation for how one should implement SpecialSource in their build process?

I'm looking at specialsource-maven-plugin, and the only example of its usage is this forum post

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/new-remapping-tool-specialsource-maven-plugin-doesnt-rename-fields.510249/

Nevermind! I scrolled up and found out that the 1.17 release thread had info

^v^

[mellow edge]

will that code shoot fireball in the direction player is facing when he will press on mousebutton or did I something wrong?

    Action ac = click.getAction();
    if(ac == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {
    if(player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.FIRE_CHARGE) {
            player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getEyeLocation(), EntityType.FIREBALL);
            Fireball ball = player.launchProjectile(Fireball.class);
            ball.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(2));
            player.sendMessage("fireball was launched");
            
        }
    }
}```

[ivory sleet]

have you tried?

[mellow edge]

no, I'm just asking if code is written good before I export anything

[waxen plinth]

That will spawn 2 fireballs

[mellow edge]

yeah but is that code written well if u ignore player.getItemInHand because it is deprecated

[eternal oxide]

you only use ac once so don;t make a variable for it

[grim ice]

don't make throwaway variables if they're not for readability sake

that's what I follow, Idk if it's good practice though

[wary harness]

so question if u use cos for x , sin for y what do u use with z ?

[eternal oxide]

if (click.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) return;

[wary harness]

cos to ?

[mellow edge]

o

[mellow edge]

ok so I don't need to make Action variable I can just use that

[eternal oxide]

delete teh spawnEntity line, as you are launching a projectile

[mellow edge]

lol forgot to delete it thanks

[grim ice]

looping through the inventory slots is the only way iirc

wait

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#containsAtLeast(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack, int)

this is hwo to check i guess

o

getContents()

check for the values of getContents()

or u know

just go with the usual way, checkign for slots

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#all()

do some logic with this

[kindred valley]

hey i have ```if (clickedEntity instanceof Player) {
if(player.hasPermission("illegal")) {

            if (kelepce.isSimilar(player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand()));

            ((Player) clickedEntity).setWalkSpeed(0);

            player.openInventory(((Player) clickedEntity).getInventory());
            
            
        }``` this method i want to see someone others inventory by clicking them and the method setwalkspeed still working when im closing the inventory, how can i provide walk speed default after closing the inventory.

[crude sleet]

Can anyone help?

[river dirge]

Instead if passing the player as an argument just loop over all the players ans use the player object to get his mana and lvl instead of the player you passed as an argument.

If you really want to make an updatPlayerLvl then only update the scoreboard of that player 😉

[severe marsh]

Hey @ivory sleet I tried implementing webhook system and everything is working good so far but I got an issue where I cant include \n when setting description of an embed. Any ideas on how to fix it?

[eternal oxide]

what happens when you include \n?

[iron condor]

hey what to do If I made two plugins that depend on each other?

[eternal oxide]

design better

[severe marsh]

It throws this in console: [Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@b584a7

[iron condor]

expected that answe

[eternal oxide]

did you escape it?

[severe marsh]

wdym?

[eternal oxide]

double \

[severe marsh]

lemme try

[river dirge]

like a dependency?

[severe marsh]

It worked @eternal oxide, thanks

[iron condor]

yes

[eternal oxide]

can either work without the other, or are they really a depend on both

[waxen plinth]

Put them both as depending on each other and make them not reference each other in onEnable and you should be good

[river dirge]

just tell your plugin its a dependency and say what plugin it should be. Then disable it when it cant detect the plugin. If you add it as a dependency it will load the plugin as one of the last ones. after that you can ask for a list of the plugin and print an error and unload the plugin

[prime reef]

asking for the third time

[raven ore]

Help, the event "AsyncChatEvent" isnt call, because i use bungeechat. Do you have any idea to fix that ?

[iron condor]

``` what does that mean?

[austere cove]

linking errors because you have two plugins providing the same class

[lost matrix]

Listen on your proxy.

[austere cove]

do chunk tickets prevent the world from unloading too?

it should right

[lost matrix]

You probably shaded one plugin in and also installed it. Or you have two different plugins providing the same class.

[lost matrix]

Trying to prevent the unloading of a world with a chunk ticket sounds hacky.

[iron condor]

I have another plugin that uses the same plugin as an API

[austere cove]

I need to keep a chunk loaded for sth, but the chunk ofc wont stay loaded if the world itself gets unloaded

[lost matrix]

shade -> relocate

[iron condor]

so what do I do?

[lost matrix]

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/class-relocation.html

[iron condor]

can I shade without maven?

[lost matrix]

Shure. Gradle shadow plugin if you are more into gradle.

[lost matrix]

If you manually just throw in your jars then you are out of luck.

[iron condor]

can i do it in pom.xml?

[pliant flame]

2 questions. What's the best plugin for taking your custom models and import them in the game?
and if I were to make my own model maker from scratch, how would I do that/

[austere cove]

what did I do now

no error messages nothing

[waxen plinth]

Some plugin may have called Bukkit.shutdown() or something

Remove all plugins

[austere cove]

unlikely cos I have no weird plugins on my test server and no warning or whatever in the logs

[lost matrix]

F

[austere cove]

fam there was an exception thrown by my plugin in an event listener that caused the server to disable

but the weirdest thing is that it was only visible in logs once I disabled debug in spigot.yml

[twilit rivet]

any decent way to use the #applyBonemeal(blockface)? I've seen reflection;NMS stuff, but I don't know if there's other ways?

[severe marsh]

How do I access WebhookURL?

[twilit rivet]

get the webhooklink from your server

[severe marsh]

No I mean like how do I get its path?

Is it DiscordWebhook/WebhookURL or?

[twilit rivet]

path should be there

[twilit rivet]

but, yea should be

wait no

https://discord.com/api/webhooks/

on your webhook that you set-up for your server, there should be Copy Link

[lost matrix]

You just want to get this String from your yml?
Because the path is DiscordWebhook.WebhookURL

[severe marsh]

Yes I wanted that, thanks!

[bitter mural]

is there a standard database that most developers use? For storing and retrieving large lists of blocks etc.

[twilit rivet]

ohh, my bad

[twilit rivet]

MySQL or SQLite

[lost matrix]

SQL or NoSQL?

[bitter mural]

I guess I meant is there a library that makes those easy to use with Spigot with limited lag

[lost matrix]

You should never access any database on the main thread.
Every Database is good enough as long as you access it from another thread.

Then there is no possibility for lag

[twilit rivet]

I made a bad mistake the other week doing that xD

[bitter mural]

do you guys have a favorite tutorial site or video for this specific task? I've never worked with a database, this is my first foray

[mellow edge]

hi how can I make that only ops can use a command

or just how to check if the player has op

[vague oracle]

player.isOp()

[lost matrix]

Hmm. Those are two totally different and extensive topics.
First databases then multithreading. I would just look for tutorials on MySQL for now
as the driver for that is provided by Spigot.

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-snippets/

[bitter mural]

oh good, I had just found that second one through google, glad to have it corroborated

Thank you very much!

[mellow edge]

ok but how can I get if player is op level 4

[reef wind]

why would you use op over permissions?

@mellow edge

[mellow edge]

idk

I want that only all op level 4 players can use a command

[raven ore]

How can i call asyncplayerchatevent with bungee chat

[lost matrix]

Does BungeeChat somehow prevent that event from being fired?

[raven ore]

Yes

[lost matrix]

Are you sure? Uninstall the plugin and see if the event is then fired.

[raven ore]

Yes i am sure because, i try on a spigot local server and it works

[lost matrix]

Uninstall the BungeeChat plugin and see if that is actually the cause.

[crude sleet]

Hey, at this Point if any players join my game, i only see my mana at the other player, but thats wrong. I like to see the mana of the other player, not my own. Can anyone help?

The output of my Broadcast with "section.getMana()" is correct but the Displayname is wrong

https://ibb.co/yd9L6GB [ImageLink] So i only see my own mana at other players

[tall basin]

Hey! I can not cast Dynmap plugin instance to DynmapAPI which it implements.

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    DynmapAPI api = (DynmapAPI) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("dynmap");
}

It throws ClassCastException. Has anyone faced such a problem?

[raven rampart]

Are you including the API in your package?

[tall basin]

yes, of course

[raven rampart]

You shouldn't

Dynmap will include it and your dependency should have a scope of provided

[vast sapphire]

        if (e.getCurrentItem()==blue) {
            Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 27, format("&2" + p.getName().toUpperCase()));

            for (int i = 0; i < inv.getSize(); i++) {
                if (inv.getItem(i) == null) {
                    inv.setItem(i, pane);
                }
                inv.setItem(10, sharpness);
            }
            p.openInventory(inv);
        }
private final ItemStack blue = new ItemBuilder(Material.STAINED_GLASS_PANE).setDisplayName(format("&1Enchant")).setDyeColor(DyeColor.BLUE).toItemStack();

Why when I click on the blue glass it doesn't open the inventory? I tried it with regular stained glass material but it doesn't work for the custom itemstack?

[lost matrix]

e.getCurrentItem()==blue

This is almost never true

Dont check objects with == use .equals()

[vast sapphire]

ok

[tall basin]

i implemented dynmap-api 3-2-beta-1 from https://repo.mikeprimm.com/ in my build.gradle file

[lost matrix]

ItemStack also has a better method called isSimilar()

[vast sapphire]

ah ok

it works with .equals but i'll change it

[raven rampart]

I'm not terribly familiar with Gradle, but if you're packaging your plugin jar with the API included you'll be referencing the API in a different scope.

[tall basin]

I just read that I can just cast an instance. I also found a few dynmap addons that do the same thing I do.

[raven rampart]

In Maven, this is corrected by adding <scope>provided</scope> in the dependency definition of the POM

[lost matrix]

Dont shade dynmap into your plugin

[tall basin]

yes, I'm using the gradle equivalent of this. the exception occurs during runtime. it says i can't cast DynmapPlugin to DynmapAPI

[tall basin]

what it means?

[raven ore]

@lost matrix so i uninstall bungeechat and it is the problem

[lost matrix]

It means that you need the scope provided on your dependency.
Look into your compiled jar and check if the dynmap src code is inside.

[raven rampart]

Can we see the relevant line in your build.gradle

[tall basin]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = 'spigotmc-repo'
        url = 'https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/'
    }
    maven {
        url = 'https://repo.mikeprimm.com/'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.17.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'
    implementation 'us.dynmap:dynmap-api:3.1'
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.7.0'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.7.0'
}

[ivory sleet]

No

compileOnly for the APIs

[lost matrix]

gett im

[raven rampart]

Should be provided, not implementation

[tall basin]

oh, sorry

i will try

[ivory sleet]

should be compileOnly not provided

provided is a maven thing

[raven rampart]

Oh I thought I was reading Gradle did it that way too

[ivory sleet]

Nope

Tho it has compile however it’s deprecated

[raven rampart]

Sorry @tall basin, like I said I'm not that familiar with Gradle

[ivory sleet]

You usually use compileOnly, implementation, api, compileOnlyApi or runtimeOnly

[raven rampart]

I think I was reading about a Gradle plugin that does that.

[ivory sleet]

Ye

[dim bluff]

hi, how can I put all of the message in a config string? I saw something talk about using % but I cant seem to find anything

like how would I add for example an int which changes

[ivory sleet]

I can literally not read that sorry

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[tall basin]

@raven rampart, @ivory sleet, @lost matrix
yes it worked. i used compileOnly. thank you all

[dim bluff]

how would I add this + sec which is an int, to me "color_of_numbers" config String

[lost matrix]

Again as last time:
You should not read from a config on runtime.
When the server starts -> Load all your data that you need from the config into variables, classes etc

[dim bluff]

oh yeah forgot. Will do!

ty

[dim bluff]

how do I do this? I'm making a second class to load all the data... idk if it will change anything with my goal

[raven rampart]

Okay, I am feeling like an idiot here trying to create a double chest.

location.getBlock().setType(Material.CHEST);
        location.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.WEST).setType(Material.CHEST);
        Chest chest1 = (Chest) location.getBlock().getState();
        Chest chest2 = (Chest) location.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.WEST).getState();
        ((org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest) chest1.getBlockData()).setType(org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest.Type.LEFT);
        ((org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest) chest2.getBlockData()).setType(org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest.Type.RIGHT);

[lost matrix]

You need to set the changed BlockData back on the Block

[raven rampart]

Like this?

location.getBlock().setType(Material.CHEST);
location.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.WEST).setType(Material.CHEST);
Chest chest1 = (Chest) location.getBlock().getState();
Chest chest2 = (Chest) location.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.WEST).getState();
org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest chest1Data = (org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest) chest1.getBlockData();
org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest chest2Data = (org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest) chest2.getBlockData();
chest1Data.setType(org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest.Type.LEFT);
chest2Data.setType(org.bukkit.block.data.type.Chest.Type.RIGHT);
chest1.setBlockData(chest1Data);
chest2.setBlockData(chest2Data);

Crap. That is the state

[lost matrix]

Not sure why you need the BlockState here.

[raven rampart]

I need the state for later, but I need to set the BlockData back on the block and not the state

right?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[raven rampart]

Well, aside from mixing up my LEFT/RIGHT EAST/WEST, it worked. Thank you @lost matrix

[gaunt hatch]

Did they change how the PlayerList.getStatisticManager worked?

Before i could have custom NPC with a spiecal uni character in the name, but now it can not and errors on the npc create when trying to create the npc

[dim bluff]

the thing is that I want to write the string in config. But then somehow when I call the config string, it takes the int value or something

I'm rly confused on how to do

literally put this in a single config thing

so a string + an int but somehow have it all stored in a config string

wanna do something like this in my config

apparently percentages are usable

but I cant find anything online

just a mention

I need all of it to be in the config file

this is what I put in config?

???

my sendmessage should just look like this at the end

oh kk I see

yeye I see gonna test

is there a way to not need to set and directly write it in the config?

well instead of doing a command to setString(....
directly manually in the config do it

well I just want to be able to completely change the layout of the sentence from config

like change the order of strings, rewrite some of the strings etc

Tyty ill test out some stuff

[white obsidian]

I have a bungeecord plugin that runs a SocketServer which spigot servers connect to. However, it’s causing a lot of CPU usage and crashes of my entire Linux server (admins thought I was mining Bitcoin with it lmao).

The way I’m doing it is just running a runnable asynchronously to accept sockets which starts a Client thread (this is where I get the huge CPU usage) which has a while loop to read from an input stream. I’m really confused why this takes so much processing, is my approach wrong? I can provide code if needed.

[quaint mantle]

definitely do not create a thread/user

[quaint mantle]

I'd use a tick system, just like minecraft

you can use 20 ticks, every tick loop through the users and see if they sent a packet

clients*

[raven rampart]

I am struggling to set the custom name of a chest. I don't understand why this isn't working:

((org.bukkit.block.Chest) location.getBlock().getState()).setCustomName("Whatever I want");

[eternal oxide]

Store the state, as after changing it you have to apply it

a BlockState is a snapshot of the Block at that point in time

[open vapor]

why does playerinteract event get called twice from a right click? google said it was because of the offhand but i implemented their fix and it didn't work

[eternal oxide]

Two hands. It triggers for each

[open vapor]

yes, how do i tell them apart

[raven rampart]

I'm not seeing setState,

[eternal oxide]

update

[open vapor]

event.gethand doesnt work

[quaint mantle]

bump 👽

[open vapor]

it always returns HAND

[raven rampart]

Ugh. I remember now.TYSM

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getAction()

[open vapor]

both the LEFT_CLICK_AIR and RIGHT_CLICK_AIR are called when i right click

[eternal oxide]

You are not pausing yoru while loop for other things to happen?

[eternal oxide]

Yes, once for each hand

[open vapor]

ok, but how do i make sure that only 1 gets processed

[eternal oxide]

If you only want to run your code on right click air if (event.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) return;

[quaint mantle]

if (event.getItem() == event.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInMainHand())

[open vapor]

thanks

[gaunt hatch]

Anyone have any idea what changes here and why its trying to create the stat file for the NPC with the name and not the UUID?

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

[eternal oxide]

because thats how you wrote it

[gaunt hatch]

what?

[eternal oxide]

A stack trace only tells us there was an error

[gaunt hatch]

In PlayerList.class it should be trying to make the file using the UUID but doesnt then tried the name and fails.

I know that

I am asking why its not trying it with the UUID

[eternal oxide]

You've shown no code so its impossible to say

[gaunt hatch]

That is in spigot

it its that false if clause on file1.exists() but shouldnt cause the uuid is part of the gameprofile and the NPC

so it should create

[raven rampart]

Is there a way to create a beam, like a beacon or when and end gateway is created?

[eternal oxide]

I'd guess it would only create the file if the player was on the server, the name file is probably a legacy fallback.

[gaunt hatch]

...

[eternal oxide]

NPC, so not a real player?

[gaunt hatch]

so why did it work fine till a update for spigot went out?

Was working fine like 1 month ago

Code was not changed based on what i can see in the patch in git for spigot for that class

[eternal oxide]

No clue as I don;t deal with nms

[fading lake]

Mob Pathfindergoals Question

[eternal oxide]

Have you tried forcing a save of your PlayerList profile?

Does your NPC exist in the PlayerList?

[winged anvil]

ok elgar

[gaunt hatch]

It happens on NPC create on the super

[eternal oxide]

It actually calls PlayerList.savePlayerFiles(EntityPlayer) ?

[winged anvil]

so how would I read the config file ive created, and store the list of that config into a HashSet<Location> ```private static final HashSet<Location> points = new HashSet<>();
private static final DataManager data = new DataManager();

public static void getPointsOnFile() {
    points.addAll((HashSet<Location>) data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints"));
    System.out.println(points);
}

public static HashSet<Location> getPoints() {
    return points;
}```

im still on this

[eternal oxide]

You can;t cast List to Set, but you can Set<Location> points = new HashSet(config.getList...);

[gaunt hatch]

I sent a picture of the code above

it tried to create the file.

I might have found a way around it using a overlord of the nms method

[winged anvil]

whats the difference between Set<> and HashSet<>?

[eternal oxide]

Set is the Base class of HashSet

[eternal oxide]

You on current or 1.8?

[gaunt hatch]

1.17

wait java or spigot?

[eternal oxide]

spigot

[gaunt hatch]

yea 1.17.1

[eternal oxide]

k

[gaunt hatch]

HA

got it

[eternal oxide]

What was the cause?

No player data to generate teh file?

[gaunt hatch]

I overrided the getStatisticManager in the PlayerList.class in my HumanEntityNPC class and pass in a empty class set to force it to bypass and never create it

[eternal oxide]

ah

much better than polluting the Player dat files.

[gaunt hatch]

They get wiped anyway

Dont save anything on the player save file store all that data in a db

[eternal oxide]

Pretty sure they only get wiped if you do it

[gaunt hatch]

server gets destoryed on restart

[eternal oxide]

ah ok

[gaunt hatch]

the container is destory and re-loaded clean from a image

[eternal oxide]

yep, docker

[winged anvil]

ok im so fuckin lost

[eternal oxide]

Show what you have so far

[winged anvil]

on enable im trying to save the locations into a HashSet from the locations that are inside my file that way when I set the values in the config again I will keep the values that we're also previously in the file

[eternal oxide]

yes

[winged anvil]

yes

        Set<Location> points = new HashSet(data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints"));
        System.out.println(points);
    }``` I tried this but I get NullPointer

[eternal oxide]

is the path correct?

[winged anvil]

yes

one sec imma test something

[vast sapphire]

how do I get past the 16 scoreboard char limit in 1.8.8?

[eternal oxide]

Scoreboards support up to around 64 characters but only 16 printable

[vast sapphire]

well I got this ```st
[00:34:23 ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling Zenon v1.0-SNAPSHOT (Is it up to date?)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Team name 'score.criterion.1' is longer than the limit of 16 characters````

[winged anvil]

    private static HashSet<Location> points;
    private static final DataManager data = new DataManager();

    public static void getPointsOnFile() {
        if (data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints") == null)
            points = new HashSet<>();
        
        points = (HashSet<Location>) data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints");
        System.out.println(points);
    }``` this makes sense no?

if theres no locations saved it creates new set, if there are points then it creates a set with those points

[vast sapphire]

try it?

[winged anvil]

it doesnt work, it overrides the file with the new set even though there were locations saved

[eternal oxide]

As I said, you can;t cast a List of Locations to a set

[gaunt hatch]

^ you need to store the value of the loc and then load it back on server start from the config.

Also you want to be careful with loc. If you are using more then 1 world, make sure the world is loaded first or it throws a big fit

[eternal oxide]

    private static Set<Location> points = new HashSet<>();

    public static void getPointsOnFile() {
        
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<Location> temp = (List<Location>) data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints");

        if (temp != null) points.addAll(temp);
    }```

[winged anvil]

Ok that makes sense

what im confused on that I need a bit of clarifying is how Set<> HashSet<> and List<> all work together here

so you take the points and cast them into a List<> then if that list isnt empty then you add the list into a Set<> or HashSet<>?

[eternal oxide]

Set and List are both Base classes that are extended with things like ArrayLIst, LinkedList, HashSet.

The extended types add functionality like HashSets order their contents based upon a Hash value of each object it contains

Lists can contain duplicates, Sets can not. Every entry must be unique

[winged anvil]

that makes sense

also

    private static Set<Location> points = new HashSet<>();
    private static final DataManager data = new DataManager();

    public static void getPointsOnFile() {

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<Location> temp = (List<Location>) data.getConfig().getList("Data.SpawnPoints");

        if (temp != null) points.addAll(temp);

        System.out.println(points);
    }``` ok to confirm this is correct?

but it did the same

[eternal oxide]

Yes, however you need to stop using everything static.

static has its uses but not here

[winged anvil]

i only did here cause i got lazy and this is a test before moving it to my main plugin

[eternal oxide]

ok

[winged anvil]

yes but this did not add to the file it over-rid the file

[eternal oxide]

then you are not loading the data before saving

[open vapor]

I want to make an item that has one function when you right click it, and one function when you left click it

I have it set up so when the interact event is called, it does one thing if it's a LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK or LEFT_CLICK_AIR, and one thing if it's a RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK or RIGHT_CLICK_AIR

when i right click air with the item, the interact event is called twice, once calling LEFT_CLICK_AIR, and once calling RIGHT_CLICK_AIR

i am aware it's because it's being called once for each hand, but i do not know how to tell if its actually a left click, or if it's just a left and right click.
I tried using e.GetHand, and it always returned main hand. I also tried using e.getItem().equals(e.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInMainHand()), but it didn't work.

what should i do to tell if it's just a normal left click, or a left click caused by the offhand thing

[eternal oxide]

getHand() should return an EquipmentSlot HAND or OFF_HAND

oh sorry

That wasn;t your isue

It should not fire a RIGHT_CLICK_ if you left clicked

[open vapor]

yes, but it does fire a left click if i right click

[eternal oxide]

it will fire twice RIGHT_CLICK_AIR passing two different EquipmentSlot in getHand

[open vapor]

getHand always returned HAND when i tried it. never OFFHAND

[eternal oxide]

one sec

teh event fires once for me

if you have nothing in your off hand it will not fire offhand

[open vapor]

there is nothing in my offhand?

[eternal oxide]

    @EventHandler
    public void onClick(PlayerInteractEvent event){

        System.out.println(event.getHand().name() + ":" + event.getAction().name());
}```

[03:28:28] [Server thread/INFO]: HAND:RIGHT_CLICK_AIR
[03:28:28] [Server thread/INFO]: OFF_HAND:RIGHT_CLICK_AIR```

that was clicking once left, then right, then right with a torch in my off hand

[open vapor]

if i left click once

right click once

[eternal oxide]

do you have an item in your off hand?

[open vapor]

no

do you want the code? maybe theres something screwing it up

[eternal oxide]

let me run a clean clas. I have other stuff in my test code that could interfere

[open vapor]

wait hang on

i think i messed something up

any other item will work fine

exept for the item i want to use

[eternal oxide]

What item?

[open vapor]

book and quill

hmm

yeah that seems to be the problem

any other item works fine

[eternal oxide]

yes, its trying to open the book so you can edit it

[open vapor]

ahh

i was using inventory.close to remove the book gui

[eternal oxide]

odd that it fires a left + right for a book though

[open vapor]

so naturally, i should replace the item with a different one implement a cooldown

[eternal oxide]

You could use a book as its only the right click that does both

left click only fires left

[rare cave]

Hi there can anyone help to validate a Minecraft username with regular expression

This didnt work

[eternal oxide]

Basically, if you receive a right click with the book and quill, set a boolean. If teh boolean is set and you see a left click with a book and quill ignore it, reset boolean.

[gaunt hatch]

why not just ignore the off hand?

[eternal oxide]

he wants a different action on left and right click

[gaunt hatch]

ahh

[eternal oxide]

he can ignore off_hand

but his HAND he has to know which click it is

[quaint mantle]

I said

not .equals, == to avoid it being called twice

LEFT_CLICK_*, item == inMainHand

[quaint mantle]

LEFT_CLICK

[neat trellis]

I want to know the best way to approach/structure a function that takes a location and over the period of 5 seconds, any player that enters a certain range of it gets launched up.

[worldly ingot]

What do you think the best approach is?

We'll start there ;p

[raven rampart]

Do you mean that for a duration of 5 seconds any player withing a range of a location is launched upwards? Or they are launched upwards for 5 seconds anytime they're within range of a location?

[neat trellis]

for a duration of 5 seconds any player within a range of a location is launched upwards

[neat trellis]

I was thinking of using an armor stand to store the coordinates but im not sure where to go from there.

[worldly ingot]

You're writing a plugin, right?

[raven rampart]

An armor stand?

[neat trellis]

yea... im not used to doing plugins, i have done a lot of datapacks. would a hashmap be better?

[worldly ingot]

Ah you're used to data packs. That explains a bit

So you're free from a lot of a data pack's restrictions. Namely being able to keep track of locations

You can do that without an entity. We're in the code world, we can hold reference to those just in memory with a Location instance

And you really only care about the locations not anything else, so an ArrayList would suffice

[neat trellis]

oh alright

[worldly ingot]

In short, whenever your command is run, you can add the location to that list. In your PlayerMoveEvent, if their current position is < x distance from that location, do whatever it is you need to do

Location has a nice distanceSquared() method for you

[raven rampart]

You could use World.getNearbyEntitiesByType to grab all players within a distance from a location.

[worldly ingot]

Another alternative, yeah

[neat trellis]

would getNearbyEntitiesByType be more optimized?

[raven rampart]

And to throw them upwards take their velocity vector an increase the y value.

[worldly ingot]

Well, getNearbyEntitiesByType() is cubic, so that's something to keep in mind

[raven rampart]

I am not exactly sure what the back end is doing with getNearbyEntitiesByType but it has been more efficient than anything similar i've tried to impelement.

[worldly ingot]

GNEBT creates a bounding box, selects all entities in the world and returns any >= and <= your bounds

Either way you're just doing some quick comparisons

[neat trellis]

So I understand how to use PlayerMoveEvent as it is per player, but how would I use getNearbyEntitiesByType as I assume it should only be used at that location instead of each player, for the 5 seconds

[raven rampart]

There are a few ways to skin this cat. My first thought is to use a task

[worldly ingot]

And mine would have been to use the move event 😅

Don't think either approach is inherently wrong

[raven rampart]

The move event with an external timer would work.

[neat trellis]

I guess ill try the player move event as I think I know how to do that

Thank you guys this was very helpful

[eternal oxide]

I'd run a timer myself and trigger it every 5 ticks. No need to run any faster.

[worldly ingot]

Just be sure to use Location#distanceSquared() instead of #distance() and check if <= 25. You really don't need that sqrt call

[eternal oxide]

test in PlayerMove shoudl be avoided if you can.

[raven rampart]

Because it is fired so often?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[worldly ingot]

I mean, it's not as though listening to it is going to cause issues. It's what you do in that listener that may cause issues

And numerical comparisons are what computers do best ;p

[raven rampart]

But we should still try to minimize them

[eternal oxide]

True, however he's only launching players who get close to a location so precision isn;t really needed

[raven rampart]

every method call adds some overhead

[worldly ingot]

Suppose you have the added benefit also of not listening while you have no active locations

[raven rampart]

Which you would only run the task for the 5 seconds locations were active, then you have none

[eternal oxide]

Yep, one check every 5 ticks, or 20 checks (possibly) per player per tick if in PlayerMove.

[ivory sleet]

That’s negligible

And static methods are like sugar for instance

So it matters even less

[raven rampart]

But considering what ElgarL is outlining, 100 calls vs 1 should still be considered.

Even if it is ejected as quickly as possible.

You're still doing some comparison to eject.

[ivory sleet]

Idk I mean rarely the case where you have 100 calls vs 1 call

[eternal oxide]

Not often, but if everyone goes throwing code in PlayerMove, it quickly mounts up

[ivory sleet]

If you use paper, it auto gens an asm event executor which is quite fast also

PlayerMoveEvent is also limited to the ticking isn’t it.

[eternal oxide]

yes

[neat trellis]

Are threads considered bad for plugins? Im wondering how to remove the location after the 5 seconds

[ivory sleet]

Use the bukkit scheduler

But no threads alone aren’t, it’s really the intention of them that makes them good or bad

[gleaming jasper]

Hi everyone! I'm getting an error in console:
[11:30:58 ERROR]: [PlaceholderAPI] failed to load class files of expansions
This is my code here, I have no idea what's causing this error. https://pastebin.com/AF9fkK16 I'd appreciate any help on how to fix it tho! thanks!
(Please ping if you respond :))

[ivory sleet]

However I suggest using the BukkitScheduler to schedule a method that runs on the server thread so you don’t have to implement thread safety yourself, can be a lifesaver sometimes.

[ivory sleet]

Send the stacktrace also

[gleaming jasper]

sorry whats that?

[ivory sleet]

The error trace after the error thing like
at blah.blah.blah[;]
caused by blah.blah

[gleaming jasper]

ahhh haha yes

i put it in the thread

[eternal oxide]

Blue needs someone to teach him how to build with InteliJ and not include all his dependencies.

His jar contains Spigot, PlaceholderAPI jars and all classes shaded too.

[quaint mantle]

Hey elgarl

a = 5
print(a / 2)

name = prompt("Name: ")
print("Hello, " + name)

Look at this

[eternal oxide]

when he's making a PlaceholderAPI expansion so it shoudl only have his com folder with his single class

[quaint mantle]

custom programming lang

[eternal oxide]

nice

[quaint mantle]

Thanks

[eternal oxide]

I did play with creating languages years ago, but that was in Delphi

[quaint mantle]

it compiles some things, but if theres a function call it isnt constant

[eternal oxide]

I'd not remember any of it today

[quaint mantle]

all i gotta do now is learn how to parse args

could do function_call(*value) but i have to account for lists

[eternal oxide]

So we'll be seeing Jimagine released soon? 🙂

[quaint mantle]

No idea

gotta convert the python to java

[ivory sleet]

Will functions be first class objects?

[quaint mantle]

this is the route im taking
math ✅ - variables ✅ - builtins, final fields ✅ - functions - classes

functions are easy

but, i have to sacrifice either open end of lines or require ';'

a = 5;
print(a / 2);

name = prompt("Name: ");
print("Hello, " + name);

doesnt feel right

[waxen plinth]

Because you're making python

And python doesn't have ;

[quaint mantle]

No!

it does

[waxen plinth]

It doesn't require it

[quaint mantle]

gonna use {}s anyways

[waxen plinth]

I'm personally fond of ;

Use namespaces

[quaint mantle]

but then ill need ;s

?

[waxen plinth]

std.print and std.prompt

[quaint mantle]

why

besides clogging namespaces

[waxen plinth]

One of python's biggest problems is pollution of the global namespace

Don't follow that route

[quaint mantle]

Ok

[waxen plinth]

Namespacing is very good

And make it strongly statically typed

Use some keyword for variable declaration so it's explicit

let or var or val or the type of the variable

[quaint mantle]

But why

[waxen plinth]

Because declaring a variable is different from assigning a value

And they should look different

[quaint mantle]

a = 5
a: final, const = 5

[waxen plinth]

Hmm

[quaint mantle]

U likey 😩

[waxen plinth]

Why would it be final + const

[quaint mantle]

bad example

[waxen plinth]

You could do the kotlin route of var for mutable and val for immutable

[quaint mantle]

a: final, protected = 5

[quaint mantle]

No thats shit and confusing

[waxen plinth]

Is it?

[quaint mantle]

yes

not the idea but debugging

I like final or a: final

[waxen plinth]

Okay well I don't think a: private would be very visually pleasing

[quaint mantle]

gives it something unique and doesnt require backtracking

[waxen plinth]

I'd go with final var a or something

var doesn't require backtracking

[quaint mantle]

advancing then looping without completing

[waxen plinth]

And you won't need backtracking at all if you just use a lexer generator

[quaint mantle]

I have a lexer already 😩

[waxen plinth]

Hm

You should let users redeclare a variable in the same scope

But keep it statically typed

That's one of my favorite bits of rust

[quaint mantle]

oo

[waxen plinth]

You can declare a variable with the same name later in the same scope and it replaces it

But keeps static typing

chefs kiss

Perfection

[quaint mantle]

func add(int a, int b) {
    if a == b {
        protect c = a # optional '='
        loop (4) {
            c += bt.random(5)
        }
    } else {
        z = 10
    }
    z = 15 # error!
}

@waxen plinth ?

[waxen plinth]

Hmm

I like it

[quaint mantle]

Woo

[waxen plinth]

Why would a = 10 error though

[quaint mantle]

once the scope is left its final

[waxen plinth]

Wait what's protect

But it's in the scope of the function

[quaint mantle]

scope as in { }

[waxen plinth]

I know

It's declared as a function parameter

[quaint mantle]

wait

holdon

[waxen plinth]

Also what's bt

[neat trellis]

How do I stop a bukkit RepeatingTask, the problem is that it is in a function and multiple can be running

[waxen plinth]

You can keep the task ID when scheduling and cancel it later

With BukkitScheduler#cancelTask(int)

[quaint mantle]

I could just do finalize b @waxen plinth

[waxen plinth]

z shouldn't be visible

[neat trellis]

I tried that but im not sure how to get the int in the runnable as it doesn't work when the int is local to the function where the scheduler is running.

[quaint mantle]

its interpreted

[waxen plinth]

And I don't know why you would ever finalize a variable

[quaint mantle]

if its global

why is object.finalize a thing anyways

[waxen plinth]

Just declare it as final

[waxen plinth]

It's being phased out

It used to get run when the object was garbage collected

[quaint mantle]

Ah

why is it not a thing anymore?

seems useful

[waxen plinth]

Bad design

Objects should not handle their own deletion

[quaint mantle]

anyways how do i make this namespaced feature

[waxen plinth]

Just have namespaces like packages or modules

Honestly I like having them with a separate naming convention

TitleCase for namespaces, camelCase for functions and variables

[quaint mantle]

normal is camelCase
builtins are snake_case

[waxen plinth]

Hmm

Why should they differ?

Java is self hosted, meaning most of java's standard library is written in java

Using normal java functions, and it all acts like regular functions

Even natives

[quaint mantle]

Ok

Hey Quick question: I would like to connect my plugin to MySQL and have already done some research on JDBC. Among other things, I have read that the method of establishing the connection with the Drivermanager is not so good and that it is better to establish the connection with the DataSource. However, I haven't found anything that really explains in a comprehensible way (for me) what you need and what exactly you have to create and write. Can anyone help me there?

I have this plugin that sends data from a client I made to a database and then the server fetches the database every second. Do you think it would be better to switch to sockets?

[waxen plinth]

Probably best to stick to established software with rigorous security and support

[quaint mantle]

If you know how to do networking sure but def not the first option

[iron condor]

to shade I have to add this <relocation> <pattern>com.elunar.plugin</pattern> <shadedPattern>com.shaded.elunar.plugin</shadedPattern> </relocation> </relocations>
to the shading plugin inside pom.xml?

[summer scroll]

What packet should I use to change player name above head?

[quaint mantle]

how do I send a message to the player with the number of coins?

double money = EconomyManager.e.getBalance(p);
p.sendMessage(money);

[chrome beacon]

Check wiki.vg and find every packet with name or uuid information and change that

No

Wiki.vg is packet wiki

It doesn't matter what you use

[quaint mantle]

@maiden briar, you are here?

[chrome beacon]

Make money a string in send message

Simply add "" + or use String.valueOf

They do

Don't

Use the contents list

[burnt current]

so (just for me to understand again) first I create a new class into which I then write the following:

MysqlDataSource dataSource = new MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource();
    private File file = new File("myPath");
    private YamlConfiguration yamlConfiguration = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);

then I should read the data from my Config and then configure the DataSource. I'll do an extra method for that, won't I?

[quaint mantle]

work. thanks

@chrome beacon

I have 967,400 thousand on my balance. is it possible to somehow show this as well?

[iron condor]

java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.elunar.plugin.DeathGhost cannot be cast to class com.shaded.elunar.plugin.DeathGhost (com.elunar.plugin.DeathGhost is in unnamed module of loader 'DeathGhost.jar' @5f6837f2; com.shaded.elunar.plugin.DeathGhost is in unnamed module of loader 'DeathGhost.jar' @4eb3ed8a)```

what does that mean?

[chrome beacon]

Wdym? You want it rounded?

._.

If you want

It doesn't matter

[quaint mantle]

if I write /money, it shows 967,400.
e if I send a message to players with the amount of money, it shows 967400.0

[chrome beacon]

It tells you.. You cann't cast Shaded DeathGhost to non-shaded DeathGhost

[iron condor]

so how can I fix it?

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to do the same as with the /money command?

[chrome beacon]

Don't cast

[quaint mantle]

@chrome beacon

[burnt current]

I just noticed that the data type Database, which I need for Database database = config.getDatabase(); does not exist at all

[iron condor]

[chrome beacon]

Yeah now use the right DeathGhost as variable

[iron condor]

I feel dumb now, thanks

where can I send a screenshot?

[chrome beacon]

Now you have 2 of the same class in the server

You should only have one

I have 2 plugins that use the same API

[chrome beacon]

Yeah you need to relocate then

Don't have two of the same class in the same package

[iron condor]

wdym?

[chrome beacon]

You need to change the package name in one of the jars

So they both don't contain the api in the same path

@chrome beacon, I want to add a comma, after a thousand.

[chrome beacon]

Yeah now use the right one in that plugin

I.e the non-shaded one

Because that one is running as a plugin

[chrome beacon]

Use a string format

[quaint mantle]

how?

[iron condor]

what should run on the server, the shaded or the original ?

[maiden briar]

@quaint mantle I just woke up

[quaint mantle]

hi, how to make the numbers be thousands

double money = EconomyManager.e.getBalance(p);
p.sendMessage("" + String.valueOf(money));

shows 1000

how do I make it show 1.000?

[maiden briar]

Ok let me work ok it

You money value is an int right?

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

double

[maiden briar]

Ok also good

[ivory sleet]

Divide by 1000?

[quaint mantle]

double money = EconomyManager.e.getBalance(p);
p.sendMessage("" + String.valueOf(money));
shows 1000

how do I make it show 1,000?

[ivory sleet]

Oh you want to format it?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[ivory sleet]

NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.ROOT)

[maiden briar]

double moneyDouble;
String money = String.valueOf(moneyDouble);
StringBuilder moneyBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = money.length(); i > 0; i = i - 3)
     moneyBuilder.append(money.substring(i, i + 3).append(".");

Written from my phone

[ivory sleet]

Or sendMessage(NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.ROOT).format(money))

[maiden briar]

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

a?

thank you very much

[maiden briar]

Even String.format() also works

Hi guys I am having trouble with my code

[iron condor]

``` trying to use my api in a plugin

        deathGhost = (DeathGhost) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("DeathGhost");

[hybrid spoke]

seems like you have DeathGhost each per plugin

[iron condor]

I dont

[maiden briar]

String.format("%.3f%n", moneyDouble);
@quaint mantle try this pls

[prisma badge]

Integer i = new Integer(251);
for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
  if (getId(p.equals(i))) {
    System.out.println("test")
  }
}

Why doesn't it print "test"?

[lavish hemlock]

why the fuck are you using Integer

[prisma badge]

What's wrong with that? Just tell me why it isn't working, please!

[quaint mantle]

okay

[maiden briar]

Tell me what works the best for you

[lavish hemlock]

Well, for one Player could never equal an Integer (please use int instead)

[hybrid spoke]

what is this getId thing and why does it take the boolean out of p.equals(i) what never will be true?

[prisma badge]

getId returns 3

[iron condor]

Even when unloading the DeathGhost plugin it says that

[maiden briar]

Made a mistake, try this again (changed in msg)

[hybrid spoke]

that doesnt even make sense

stop trolling sir

[lavish hemlock]

well, that is bound to fail on compile-time

you can't do if (int)

only if (boolean)

[hybrid spoke]

let this troll alone @lavish hemlock

[prisma badge]

public int getId(boolean bool) {
  if (bool != false) {
    return 3;
  } else {
    return 3;

thats getId

[prisma badge]

Troll?

[lavish hemlock]

yep okay nope you were right that is definitely troll-quality

I just started Java yesterday

I'm trying to make a hello world plugin

[maiden briar]

Then you need to LEARN it first

[lavish hemlock]

If you just started learning Java, please do not try to write a Spigot plugin.

[hybrid spoke]

?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.

[prisma badge]

IM NOT TROLLING ):<

[hybrid spoke]

you can learn it side by side

spigot is a great project to learn java with

but you should also do something else sometimes. otherwise you will get a false concept of programming (only serverside and with api)

[quaint mantle]

error, but the Conclure method works with all numbers

[maiden briar]

Ok then use that

[prisma badge]

please help me with my issue

[maiden briar]

What is the error? I need to know for my knowledge

[lavish hemlock]

Listen dude, we don't even know what you're trying to accomplish with your code, and it literally isn't even valid semantically so I dunno how you got it to compile.
Go and use one of the links above to learn more about Java.

[opal juniper]

lmaoo

[hybrid spoke]

he is trolling

[maiden briar]

@prisma badge I have dm u with a good course you can try

He just left

[unkempt peak]

Just ignore it I got the class from a random plugin but if you make a config and pass it in to a method like that it should work

[burnt current]

OK. Well, I don't know much about configs. But I have created a config file via the plugin. My question would be, how could I then pass the config correctly into the method?

[unkempt peak]

Are you using a custom config?

You just need to create a config with all the info and pass it into the datasource

[unkempt peak]

Sorry I gtg if you need more help dm me and I'll respond when I can

[burnt current]

like that?: String host = yamlConfiguration.getString("localhost");

[burnt current]

ok

[unkempt peak]

Yes but you don't need to make a string for everything just pass config.getString directly into the dataSource

[unkempt peak]

Wait yamlConfiguration is referencing a config file right?

[burnt current]

yes

[grim ice]

infact

it is

for me at least

I learnt a lot from reading people code

[lavish hemlock]

I meant in a sense of copy-paste with no explanation.

[unkempt peak]

Why are you getting local host? Is that the key of the host value in you config?

[lavish hemlock]

I actually do also learn a lot from code examples.

It's easier for my brain to read code than a bunch of terminology.

[burnt current]

yes it is

[grim ice]

copy pasting won't get you any where because you won't know how to adapt it to your code

even if you know how, it will be confusing

that's why i never copy something i dont understand

[burnt current]

Oh no, that's not true at all.

[unkempt peak]

Ok well anyways just get the values from the config and pass them into the datasource to configure it

[lavish hemlock]

I'll copy shit I don't understand but I'll figure out what it means via Google or docs.

[unkempt peak]

Wdym?

[burnt current]

I got it mixed up it is host

[grim ice]

for me google is useless

[unkempt peak]

Ok yeah make sure you are using the exact key name in the getString method

[grim ice]

right now I need something to code so I can practice but there's nothing

[burnt current]

ok. So I'll just store the values in variables for now

[unkempt peak]

Wdym? The config values?

[burnt current]

yes

[unkempt peak]

The whole point of the config is so it's not hardcoded

[burnt current]

oh ok so i shouldnt store the values in variables

[unkempt peak]

No just pass them into the datasource like my example

Once your datasource is configured just test the connection with the method in my example and return the datasource

[burnt current]

so I should just use

dataSource.setServerName(sqlconfig.getString("database.host"));
        dataSource.setPortNumber(sqlconfig.getInt("database.port"));
        dataSource.setDatabaseName(sqlconfig.getString("database.database"));
        dataSource.setUser(sqlconfig.getString("database.user"));
        dataSource.setPassword(sqlconfig.getString("database.password"));

[burnt current]

okey

[grim ice]

@unkempt peak I heard loading up stuff from config when a plugin loads then getting the value from a list / variable is better, is that true or am I misunderstanding

[unkempt peak]

Yeah just replace the sqlconfig values with your config and key names

[opal juniper]

that is a common way it is done

[grim ice]

I see

[opal juniper]

de/serialise it onEnable/Disable

[grim ice]

o

[unkempt peak]

Yeah that is probably the best way to do it. I was just giving them an example

[grim ice]

may you show me an example so i get familar with it?

[burnt current]

So that instead of sqlconfig.getString(database.host) it says "host" in the brackets, for example?

[unkempt peak]

Yeah

Ok I gtg fr now bye

[burnt current]

Okay, I'll give it a try. Thanks first

[unkempt peak]

Dm me if you need anything else

[burnt current]

bb

[burnt current]

I will do

[grim ice]

Hey, I heard loading up stuff from config when a plugin loads then getting the value from a list / variable is better than getting the config values on runtime, may someone show me an example? It would be appreciated.

[hybrid spoke]

you cache the data you load from the config somewhere.
messy example: https://github.com/Luziferium/AsyncSpawnMob/blob/master/src/main/java/de/luzifer/asm/config/Variables.java
which is being called after loading the config: https://github.com/Luziferium/AsyncSpawnMob/blob/5d327a53ad905dd819c13be91d0eb7085d11241c/src/main/java/de/luzifer/asm/AsyncSpawnMob.java#L26

not that messy but i dont like it

[grim ice]

o

[hybrid spoke]

loading and getting the data out of the config at runtime (everytime you need it) isnt actually that bad but a bad practice

i mean, loading it onEnable is also at runtime

[grim ice]

and then later you just do Variables.someVar?

[hybrid spoke]

yeah

[grim ice]

thx

[white obsidian]

Ok I’ll see if that helps (went to bed so sorry I didn’t respond earlier)

[chrome beacon]

If API is shaded you don't run it add as a plugin. Instead just target the API classes directly. If your plugin wants to depend on the non-shaded plugin you simply get the plugin instance and use that

[grim ice]

why

why 1 letter variables

oh wait this is an old thing

[lean gull]

so uh i made a 2 config files with this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGkJwiJsMi0) but idk how to use it, if anyone could help that would be great, thanks

[chrome beacon]

Have you learned Java basics yet

[lean gull]

i know some

[reef wind]

You can't in 1 day lmao

You need a few months to learn java

[hybrid spoke]

didnt you just left the discord mr buenny?

[lean gull]

this is how i learn

[hybrid spoke]

because everyone told you to just learn java first

[lean gull]

godcipher i did but then i joined back

You need to take a course or something for a few months

[crystal pike]

What would be the best way, to keep mobs respawning in a dedicated area?

Currently I set the boundingbox, and assigning the BukkitRunnable to a field inside each zone.
Then I call .runTaskTimer.

And then I check if an entity dies within the boundingbox zone, but how would I keep track of the respawn runnable, and make sure it's stopped before trying again, and making sure if 3 zombies were killed at the same time, it doesn't recall the runTaskTimer. Cause atm. I run into Task is already scheduled.

[lean gull]

i went through like a full hour course and i went through half the codeacademy java course

got bored so i stopped

[reef wind]

You can't learn in 1 day

You need a few months

[lean gull]

yes, you already said that :p

look if you're not gonna bother helping then just don't waste both of our time responding

[hybrid spoke]

keeping track of them.

[reef wind]

You went through 1 hour and half a course, that is not enough to know java. Which you can clearly see.

But it's your choice

[lean gull]

i do know that i do not know the basics, but i'm okay with that and i'm learning with this method

[reef wind]

your choice but I am warning you that you won't learn this way.

[lean gull]

^^^

[crystal pike]

I'm currently doing that, but it's not quite working out for me 😅
https://pastebin.com/XMLDkzZP
The general logic.

I have an event that checks the location of the death and then call the respawnEntity method if it's within a zone.

[hybrid spoke]

thats not what i meant. PDC is okay, but i would not recommend it in this case. you could either do your own custom entities which you can manage better or you can make a manager for your entities with a hashmap in it(region|List<Entity>) or wrap your entity so you can keep track of the wrapper. at deaht you check for the entity then.

[maiden briar]

Is there an event this if a wolf gets angry he gets a target?

I want to cancel that

[hybrid spoke]

a wrapper would make everything much easier since you can keep track of the entity, spawning location, region, etc.

[hybrid spoke]

EntityTargetEvent or smth

[maiden briar]

Ok I will try thanks

[crystal pike]

So would that require NMS? To make a specific entity which just resmeblnces any vanilla mob, but just has my wrapper methods aswell

[hybrid spoke]

making a custom entity would require NMS

[crystal pike]

Is there a way to map nms?, cause I would be lost in all the a, b, c etc...

[hybrid spoke]

i am not sure. didnt used NMS that much. especially not in the newer versions. but since everyone is talking about mojang mappings you could look at that

[eternal night]

Ngl I feel like a custom entity in a case where you don't need custom pathfinder logic or other ai related changes might still be overkill

[hybrid spoke]

probably, but a solution.

[mellow edge]

can I make the event in main class and then register it like this:``` getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

[hybrid spoke]

as long as you implement Listener and annotate your method with EventHandler, yeah

[mellow edge]

yes I have them

[lean gull]

i still need help btw

[mellow edge]

also how can I put event into event

public void onLounch(ProjectileLaunchEvent e) {```

and than another one

in it

[radiant aspen]

Anyone here good at nms? 👀 Im trying to get IBlockData from a spigot block

[crystal pike]

I'm trying to fetch nearbyEntities within nms, but it requires a entity as the first argument, so wouldn't that require me to keep one instance alive at all times?

[radiant aspen]

Nevermind, I figured it out

[radiant aspen]

What u trying to do?

[crystal pike]

Check how many of my custom mobs is in a specific area.

[radiant aspen]

Try using BoundingBox's

[crystal pike]

Can bukkit/spigot methods interact with nms classes?

[radiant aspen]

not sure why you would want to use nms for this?

[crystal pike]

nvm

[radiant aspen]

just do

world.getNearbyEntities(BoundingBox.of(new Location(world, 0, 0, 0), new Location(world, 100, 100, 100)));

[radiant aspen]

probabbly not, older versions are lacking in the api

use 1.17

[crystal pike]

going back to this, do I need to make a separate entity for each mob class, because I tried just making a custom entity that is on the creature level, but it doesn't have the mob specific logic.

[hybrid spoke]

at what idea are you stuck rn?

[crystal pike]

Trying to wrap any entity, so I can intercept the die call and other stuff.

[radiant aspen]

could just use events?

[hybrid spoke]

you would just need 1 wrapper for a LivingEntity

[crystal pike]

too messy, and I would need to use nms either way, to control their movement to be within a certain boundingbox

[hybrid spoke]

oh if you need to use NMS anyways just create custom entities

[crystal pike]

So one custom entity for each entity.

alrighty

[tardy delta]

what does ConsoleSender#getName() returns?

"console" ?

[crystal pike]

Alright, last questin for now I swear Why does my bukkitrunnable.runTaskLater after the delay, keep running? Shouldn't it only run once?

[tardy delta]

because its a runnable

idk

tbh

[eternal oxide]

runTaskLater runs once

[crystal pike]

new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                System.out.println("RESPAWNING ENTITY!");
                mobzone.respawnEntity();
                this.cancel();
            }
        }.runTaskLater(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("questing"), mobzone.respawnTime * 20);

Also tried without this.cancel()

This is ran constant
