[dry forum]

but theres no name defined for it, im just getting the names of all the config sections

[waxen plinth]

Ok then yeah use a set

I mean, just look at the exception

It tells you exactly what is going wrong and where

[dry forum]

works, thanks

[spiral bramble]

    @EventHandler

Is anyone able to explain why this is getting called twice? I know it's related to the `OFF_HAND` but I can't figure out how to solve it

[young knoll]

Should only make it past that first if once

[spiral bramble]

I'm losing 4 durability on the Elytra when it should only be 2 though?

[young knoll]

Hmm

Wonder if the event is somehow called twice when you use a firework

[waxen plinth]

I would first like to address

Your code is poorly structured

[young knoll]

You don’t like staircases?

[waxen plinth]

You don't even need to check the hand of the event because fireworks can be used from either hand

I do not like arrow code, no

if (e.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR || e.getItem() == null || !e.getPlayer().isGliding()) {
  return;
}
ItemStack item = e.getItem();
if (item.getType() != Material.FIREWORK_ROCKET) {
  return;
}
ItemStack chest = e.getPlayer().getInventory().getChestplate();
if (chest.getType() != Material.ELYTRA) {
  return;
}
chest.setDurability((short) Math.min(chest.getType().getMaxDurability(), chest.getDurability() + 2));
e.getPlayer().getInventory().setChestplate(chest);```

Something like this would be a whole lot better

In that it works no matter which hand the firework is in, and it won't end up with negative durability if their elytra is already broken

You also don't need a separate utility to check if a player is gliding

It's an existing method of Player

You may also be able to do this on ProjectileLaunchEvent, which I would imagine is fired if they boost with a firework midair

But it's worth noting that the level of unbreaking on the item also affects the damage it takes when using a firework

Assuming you're trying to recreate the snapshot behavior

[young knoll]

Didn’t spigot fix negative durability at some point

[waxen plinth]

Not to my knowledge

[young knoll]

Or was that stack sizes of 0 when using setAmount

[waxen plinth]

Just use max to be safe

Probably stack size 0

I think that sets to air now

[spiral bramble]

Hey thanks for the input there!
Just gave it a try and I think the durability removal is broken as it completely breaks a new elytra

[waxen plinth]

Oh sorry it should be Math.min not Math.max

Sorry, used to doing Math.max to prevent things going negative but forgot durability is reversed, higher = less durability (for some reason)

[spiral bramble]

Yes! Absolute legend! Thank you so much!

[waxen plinth]

In the future

Avoid indenting your code with nested if statements

It makes it hard to follow and hard to keep onscreen

Use early-return, exit the method early when you hit a fail condition rather than nesting if statements

[spiral bramble]

Alright thanks, will do! I've always used nested statements

[waxen plinth]

Nested if should be avoided at all costs

And if-else should be avoided in general as well

[spiral bramble]

Alright thanks! I'll keep it in mind!

Sweet, and with that 1.18 style flight!

[young knoll]

1.18 also slows the rocket boost down

Haven’t really seen how much

[waxen plinth]

From 1.5 to 1.25 multiplier is what I heard

So, by 20%

[atomic gyro]

hey there yall, me again

[waxen plinth]

Hi

[atomic gyro]

getting an Access is denied error while trying to access the world folder of my server

[waxen plinth]

Access it how?

I know windows is weird about letting you use files that are in use by other programs

[atomic gyro]

try {
  FileReader file = new FileReader(player.getWorld().getWorldFolder());
  player.sendMessage(file.toString());
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();

that's the code im using

[waxen plinth]

Can I see the full exception

[waxen plinth]

Interesting

Not sure what would cause that other than windows file handles being weird

[atomic gyro]

i'm gonna try just calling the actual file name and see if that works

yeah no it cant find the file

[flint ermine]

Q: how can i mkae a command alias thats "ars help" i have one for "ars" as we have 2 plugins that use /rs just tring to reformat om=nes help output {there is no lang or messages file and the GH for it is 404}

[waxen plinth]

Uh?

That's not a very comprehensible question

What's the issue?

[stone sinew]

commands.yml

[flint ermine]

let me reprase,

we have 2 plugins that use /rs as their prefix,

we are tring to redo one of them so we can have /ars
we need to reformat /rs help to display /ars as /rs will not work, sadly the plugins GitHub is 404'ed so i cant just recompile it {would need to as it has no lan or messages.yml}, ive gone in commands.yml however /ars help will not work however using /ars to run advancedredstone:rs $1 $2 works

[waxen plinth]

Oh

You can't really just modify the command's help messages without editing their code

You'd need to decompile, edit, and recompile it

[flint ermine]

thats why i was wondering if i could override it with /ars

would just decompileing the jar work?

[waxen plinth]

Should

It's a pain but it should work

You'll need to manually sort out any dependencies it has

[flint ermine]

i assume just using 7zip would not work correct?

[waxen plinth]

It would not

That would still leave you with compiled source code

You need something like procyon or fernflower

[flint ermine]

ill try those, hopefully will be simpler than eclipse

[onyx shale]

Well... you could always take a "sneak peak" at the plugin.yml inside the jar ans change the alias if its defined there

[flint ermine]

i found it, tried to recompile and well, failed horrably

its in org.dragonet.remoteredstone > rs > RSCommand.class

and then ended up with https://gist.githubusercontent.com/NFLD99/cd199f67d9c2d1815bb5c37b05bf3d96/raw/228a21ad7a17927a16b922c298d819bb829759d5/JJhgIDKPRB.txt

[waxen plinth]

Yeah it needs the classpath to compile

[flint ermine]

do you by chance know how id do that in eclipse?

[waxen plinth]

You know what? Just send me the jar, I'll do it

You don't even technically need to decompile and recompile

[flint ermine]

i have the decompiled java if you want it, and thats very kind of you

should i dm you?

[waxen plinth]

I have no idea if what I'm gonna try will actually work

But I wanna try it anyways

[eternal oxide]

what plugin is he working on?

I am creating a plugin that loads three new world: 1 new overworld, 1 new nether world and 1 new end world. But when i enter a portal it takes me to normal world, nether, end. How can i change the world in which the portal will get created (simply link custom nether to custom world). Ive tried with PlayerPortalEvent but I can just change the location the player will be teleported, not the world a portal is created. Ive read, that travelagent has done that but it was removed.

[torn oyster]

bump

what lol

it wants a short/byte

not an int

my material is stained clay

my int amount is 1

and my short/byte is t.getWoolColour()

[quaint mantle]

in the playerTeleport event, why is this making me face directly north east south or west, depending on what's closer instead of making me face the direction i was already facing?

event.getTo().setDirection(player.getFacing().getDirection());```

[exotic obsidian]

hello guys

if i want to hide visibility of particles

how i can do that?

[chrome beacon]

Intercept the packets

I recommend using Protocollib. Note that not all particles can be hidden by the server

[cerulean jasper]

Hi, is it possible to get all regions in WorldGuard API? If anyone has experience with it. Looked through documentation but got confused :c

(and preferably do a for loop through them)

There's things like

region.contains(BlockVector3.at(20, 0, 30));

But I need to get all 400 regions on server that I have

not only at specific location

[idle grotto]

RegionContainer container = WorldGuard.getInstance().getPlatform().getRegionContainer();
RegionManager regions = container.get(world);
regions.getRegions().values().forEach(region -> ...);

Just by looking at https://worldguard.enginehub.org/en/latest/developer/regions/managers/

[cerulean jasper]

Oh thanks.. I was just thinking of that but im way too slow.. 😄

[quaint mantle]

Can u guys help me? It writes me "failed to verify username"
What to do? :C

[tacit drift]

You can hide particles when giving an effect

[halcyon mica]

How would I go about registering default entity attributes for my custom nms entity

[exotic obsidian]

i know

But I mean if a lot of players have particles and I want to hide the particles I just don't want to see it

[proud basin]

you can turn off particles in your game settings

[halcyon mica]

particles can still be forced by the server

[quaint mantle]

Creating an item framework to easily make new items

[cerulean jasper]

Oh no.. my jar file is 1kb and only has my yml file 😦 what am I doing wrong? Intelij IDEA.. 😄

[shadow night]

how do i get the amount of sleeping players?

[lost matrix]

  public long getSleepingPlayerCount() {
    return Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().filter(LivingEntity::isSleeping).count();
  }

Or

  public long getSleepingPlayerCount() {
    int count = 0;

    for (final Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
      if (player.isSleeping()) {
        count++;
      }
    }

    return count;
  }

[lavish hemlock]

The second instantiates less objects ftr.

[lost matrix]

Simple approach to filter a specific packet type for a group of players:

public class ParticleFilter extends PacketAdapter {

  public ParticleFilter(final Plugin plugin) {
    super(plugin, Server.WORLD_PARTICLES);
  }

  private final Set<Player> filteredPlayers = new HashSet<>();

  public void addPlayer(final Player player) {
    this.filteredPlayers.add(player);
  }

  public void removePlayer(final Player player) {
    this.filteredPlayers.remove(player);
  }

  @Override
  public void onPacketSending(final PacketEvent event) {
    if (this.filteredPlayers.contains(event.getPlayer())) {
      event.setCancelled(true);
    }
  }
  
}

(Using ProtocolLib)

Just make sure to remove them when they log out.

[lavish hemlock]

damn that's clean
ProtocolLib epic

[shadow night]

why does paper says my plugin is legacy if its not?

[lost matrix]

What api-version did you specify in your plugin.yml?

[shadow night]

i didn't?

[lost matrix]

Then thats the reason.

api-version: 1.17

[cerulean jasper]

I think I know the cause but... what am I supposed to do here lol

These are random modules registered in my IDE

[lost matrix]

1. Do you use maven?
2. How do you compile

[cerulean jasper]

Yes. I think I figured it out, I reset maven configuration and restarted, seems to work now

Although now .jar is 3.5mb 😄

still testing

[shadow night]

how do i do something in bed enter event only when the player is really sleeping

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerBedEnterEvent.html

[shadow night]

._.

[solid cargo]

why do i still take dmg after skeleton's death

[shadow night]

when player clicks on the bed it executes the code even on day thats what i'm talking about 🤦

[lost matrix]

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

[solid cargo]

so why do i take damage even after my custom boss is dead

[lost matrix]

You start a scheduler and never stop it

[solid cargo]

ahhh

do i set it to stop in the skeleton.isDead?

[halcyon mica]

So I can‘t replace a NMS Entity's attributes in the constructor because of my entity because the super contructors rely on it and nullpoint immediately, and I can't modify the default attribute registry anymore because java 16 removed the field modifiers hack

So what am I supposed to do now

[lost matrix]

So you want to introduce complete custom attributes? Or just change the value of current attributes like generic.max_health

[solid cargo]

smile, how can i cancel it once ded

i wish there was a when method

[lost matrix]

There are several ways.

[lost matrix]

Its called if

[solid cargo]

so

when boss.isDead

is the same as

if boss.isDead?

[lost matrix]

I dont...

What?

[solid cargo]

no nothing

me just fantasizing

[halcyon mica]

Well, as you know I created a completely unique nms entity. But the default attribute registry, which is used to fetch the attributes, is a private static final immutable map of hardcoded entity types

And since my entity type is not part of that map, it fails to fetch the attributes and nullpointers during the constructor

I have set up a reflection way to replace the attributes with a valid one, but since it nullpointers in the constructor I cannot replace it in time

And thanks to Java 16's new reflection handling, replacing the default registry map is effectively impossible

[lost matrix]

One example on a self cancelling task. Although i dont recommend
having a ton of tasks. Just use one single task that maintains a collection of tickables.

    final UUID playerID = player.getUniqueId();

    new BukkitRunnable() {

      @Override
      public void run() {
        final Player onlinePlayer = Bukkit.getPlayer(playerID);
        if (onlinePlayer == null) {
          this.cancel();
        } else {
          onlinePlayer.sendMessage("Hi");
        }
      }

    }.runTaskTimer(plugin, 10, 10);

[solid cargo]

so this can function as a DPS for a boss?

[lost matrix]

Fking mojang

[frosty tinsel]

Because the runnable never stops

[solid cargo]

well ofc changeing the stuff, but this should fix it?

[lost matrix]

Hm. And the custom type you pass in the constructor is used as a key to fetch the attributes from the map?

By the super constructor

[halcyon mica]

Indeed

It is also used to fetch the collision size

[lost matrix]

Ill have to take a look at that...

AttributeDefaults. This class looks like bad design.

[halcyon mica]

(Mojmap btw)

[lost matrix]

Tried to implement a hashCode method that matches one of the types currently in the map?

[halcyon mica]

Hm

I don't think I can do that, because the key is the entity type

Which I can't realisticially extend

[lost matrix]

Ah i see...

[halcyon mica]

maybe I can overwrite the entity type after the fact, and pass a valid one as placeholder

[lost matrix]

If that works

[solid cargo]

how can i set an id for a task that isnt in main class

[lost matrix]

The id is specified by the BukkitScheduler.

[solid cargo]

how can i get it

[lost matrix]

You get it when scheduling the task

[solid cargo]

but

where

and how is the id made

[lost matrix]

    int taskId = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, task, 10, 10);

[solid cargo]

replace taskId with int?

[lost matrix]

    final BukkitTask bukkitTask = Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this.plugin, task, 10, 10);
    bukkitTask.cancel();

This is more than enough info

[solid cargo]

i see

one last question, not really about code

do i have to put this in the main class?

[halcyon mica]

Yep, this worked

Gotta love nms hacks

Entity persistence achieved

[halcyon mica]

When I create a offline player with a uuid, and use getPlayer to get the abstracted player, will it become a valid craftplayer and return true for isOnline when the player comes on?

hey there yall

trying to read a file as return it as a string, having a bit of an issue

try {
  FileReader file = new FileReader("world/datapacks/Test Datapack/data/testpack/loot_tables/entities/custom.json");
  while(file.read() != -1) {
  testString += file.read();
    }
file.close();
player.sendMessage(testString);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}```

this is returning a large string of numbers, which i guess is to be expected of .read(). what else should I be using?

[proud basin]

why do you have 2 catches?

[atomic gyro]

auto generated, not necessarily sure if i need both though

[visual tide]

doing /reload is bad

[quasi flint]

can someone explain to me, why this isNearGround method always returns false?

https://pastebin.com/4ETpyV0T

[proud basin]

? @quasi flint

oh its there now

[quasi flint]

when i pass in the location, wether or not i actually stand on the block it always returns false

[hasty prawn]

You're adding 0.5

You should subtract if you want to look down

[quasi flint]

woops

[upper osprey]

How to show model animation per different player

[hasty prawn]

You'd have to use resource packs for the model and then probably send a packet to each player for whatever you wanted to show them

[proud basin]

or make a mod

[hasty prawn]

Yeah or do that

[shadow night]

how do i enable the PlayerBedEnterEvent only when the player really sleeps (not just clicks)

[quasi flint]

Can someone for the sanity of my soul say, why this spwes out air as the block

if(location.clone().subtract(location.getX(), 0.501, location.getZ()).getBlock().getType() != Material.AIR) {

        System.out.println(location.clone().getBlock().getType());
        return true;
    }

it is not supposed to do such a thing

[hasty prawn]

Check isCancelled() maybe?

[hasty prawn]

Because you're not subtracting 0.5 from the printed value.

You're not subtracting anything from the printed value for that matter

[quasi flint]

not?

i only want the block 0.501 below him

and i do that

or am i completly dumb?

[hasty prawn]

Yeah the if check is probably fine, youre just printing a different block.

[quasi flint]

now its workin

removed the clone()

well that was not good XD

now its printing me oak_leaves when jumping on stone

[hasty prawn]

Don't subtract location.getX and location.getZ

That makes it always 0, Y, 0 instead of you location

[quasi flint]

like dis

if(location.clone().subtract(0, 0.501,0).getBlock().getType() != Material.AIR) {

[hasty prawn]

Yes

[quasi flint]

good thing

now lets see if it works

wow this escallated

when tryin to jump now i get flagged to death

[hasty prawn]

What does that mean

[quasi flint]

its detecting me as an nofall hacker woops

but i know how to fix that

probably

Infact no

I could not fix it

[quaint mantle]

bruh

learn how anticheats work plss

[quasi flint]

well thats what i am trying to do

thanks anyways D:<

[tardy delta]

is new Example().doSomething() the same as Example e = new Example; e.doSomething() in a private method?

[upper vale]

Yes

well the second one needs a () but yeah

[tardy delta]

ok

[upper vale]

The 2nd one you just can’t access the same instance again

Becuase it’s not declared a variable

[tardy delta]

yea i know

[hasty prawn]

Just remember if doSomething() is private you can't call it outside of the Example class.

[hasty prawn]

I think you mean first one?

[tardy delta]

ofcourse 😼

[hasty prawn]

You said private so I was just making sure you knew

[tardy delta]

yea inside a private method i make the object

[hasty prawn]

Ah, yeah that doesn't really matter as long as Example and doSomething can be accessed from that method.

It's modifier doesn't matter for calling other methods

[tardy delta]

@ VectorExperts
Looking for some vector help. I'm trying to understand the axis' a bit better. I'm using 2 locations and creating a vector between them, I then normalize because I'm only interested in the direction of the vector. Now I want to turn the vector 90 to the left, now the 2 locations initially may not be at the same height level so when rotating the vector the vector may increase/decrease in height as it is rotated on the horizontal axis... This is my understanding. Im looking to modify the vector so the arrow will be parrallel to the ground, I believe this would be pitch? Therefore setting the vectors pitch to 0 would make the base of the vector and the end of the vector at the same height correct? Then I would be able to rotate the vector to the left and right with the vectors height staying the same at the base as well as the end of the vector. My last question is to rotate a vector to left or right I would rotate around the y axis correct? Therefore rotating the Y axis 90 degrees would turn to the right and -90 would turn to the left?

[quaint mantle]

Vector vectorFromAToB = ...
Vector vectorFromAToBParrallelToGround = new Vector(vectorFromAToB.getX(), 0, vectorFromAToB.getZ());

0 in y = no modification to Y = parallel to ground

does it answer your question or did I read too quickly ?

[dry pike]

It answers getting the vector parralel to the ground. Thank you. Now in order to rotate the vector left/right i would rotate around the y axis correct?

[quaint mantle]

yeah indead. if you want to only change the x/z parameters the rotation has to be around the Y axis

[dry pike]

Okay Ill give it a go thanks!

[quaint mantle]

good luck !

[shadow night]

how do i make the command permission none, so everyone can use it?

Is there a simple way to spawn particles in game to help visualize vectors

[quaint mantle]

Hi guys. Strange bug :
I have to use the unusual method to register my listener:

Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvent(
   this.eventClass,
   this.listener,
   EventPriority.LOW,
   (listener1, previousEvent) -> {
      //...
   },
   plugin,
   false);

In the callback I use some instance able to transform an event A (let's say EntityDamageByEntityEvent) into a custom event B (let's say ItemLeftClickEvent).
since this class is generic, it contains a cast at some point:

eventClass.cast(event);

This cast throws an exception :
java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent to org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageByEntityEvent

I used debugger to verify that "this.eventClass" is indeed a EntityDamageByEntityEvent (and not a EntityDamageEvent) when calling PluginManager#registerEvent method and I did not see any issue there.

How is it possible that my event handler retrieve a EntityDamageEvent and not an EntityDamageByEntityEvent ?

[quaint mantle]

In short no. You have to build functions to show a line.

public void showLine(Location locA, Location locB, double distanceBetweenPoint)

[dry pike]

ok

[quaint mantle]

But I did it in LasersEnigma

I will give you a link. Just a sec

[dry pike]

Awesome

[quaint mantle]

Hmm I found it back but it will not help you:

• It's in order to show some cuboid edges (and one of its diagonals)
• It's built upon my own NMSManager
  https://gitlab.com/lasersenigma/lasersenigma/-/blob/master/core/src/main/java/eu/lasersenigma/areas/AArea.java#L667

Sorry ^^

you will have to do it yourself ^^

[dry pike]

Okay no worries Ill take a look and maybe get some ideas

[keen lake]

What are these random teams? Whenever I try to access them it says they do not exist.

I am trying to find out because I want to make nametags invisible but all available teams have this option on never and I can still see them.

[quaint mantle]

Why the fuck am I retrieving a EntityDamageEvent when Listening an EntityDamageByEntityEvent ?

Is it a spigot issue ?

Or did I do something wrong :/

[tardy delta]

for some reason my resourcepack doesnt show up in the list

[golden turret]

bruh

[tame coral]

What theme is this ?

[golden turret]

use the Listener

Listener >>>>>> Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvent();

[quaint mantle]

I can't use a simple listener in my case.

I don't do this for fun... just for advanced modular features ^^

[quaint mantle]

Material Theme > Darker Theme

[golden turret]

why

[shadow night]

how do i get server tps?

[hasty prawn]

./tps

[golden turret]

nms

[hasty prawn]

Oh

[golden turret]

MinecraftServer#recentTicksPerSecond i think

[shadow night]

i'm talking about development not commands

[quaint mantle]

Because I dynamically build and register event listeners according to modifiable data saved in json.

[golden turret]

i worked with that these days

[quaint mantle]

But that does not change the fact that I should receive a EntityDamageByEntityEvent and not an EntityDamageEvent (that, in addition, can't be casted to an EntityDamageByEntityEvent).

[golden turret]

https://tenor.com/bvsB9.gif

[worthy knoll]

Why is it skipping a line?

Didn't happen before... before I don't know what

[golden turret]

MinecraftServer#recentTps

[quaint mantle]

I think it's a spigot bug related to the lact of the static HandlerList within this particular event (that may explain why I retrieve its parent).

[golden turret]

((CraftServer) Bukkit.getServer()).getServer().recentTps

[golden turret]

you could simply create a global listener

and call sublisteners

[quaint mantle]

you can't listen to abstract event. Moreover that would be highly inefficient.

[shadow night]

wtf is CraftServer

[golden turret]

public void onDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
  for (SubListener listener : listeners) 
    if (listener.canListen(event))
      listener.listen(event);
}```
pseudocode

[golden turret]

is from nms

actually is from org.bukkit.craftbukkit

[shadow night]

i don't have that

[golden turret]

?buildtools

fuk]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[shadow night]

/buildtools

[quaint mantle]

So this is not a global listener: If I have 30 events that can be specified in json, I have to do that 30 times ^^

[worthy knoll]

anyone?

[quaint mantle]

That's why I prefer registerEvent ^^

[golden turret]

if you use registerEvent the bukkit will do the same thing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quaint mantle]

Anyone know of a plugin like this to display custom titles under the players names

I think there is a difference. And I think that exactly because of the issue I found.
If you use the usual Listener you will only retrieve EntityDamageByEntityEvent because a cast check is probably done beforehand.
If you use registerEvent you may receive a EntityDamageEvent because this cast check is not done and because EntityDamageByEntityEvent does not have its own HandlerList (I suppose that's the reason of this spigot api bug).

[worthy knoll]

here is about development

search for name tags plugin

[quaint mantle]

I will just add the check ^^

[worthy knoll]

or something

on GOOGLE

[golden turret]

if you want a plugin, idk
if you want how to do it, armorstands mounting players

[quaint mantle]

pretty sure plugins fall under development lol, thank you Wizarldy!

[hasty prawn]

This channel is for developing plugins, #help-server is generally for finding them.

[worthy knoll]

SO

anyone have an idea about my small issue

[hasty prawn]

What was it

[worthy knoll]

(not very important but still very annoying)

[worthy knoll]

a

the thing is

that I kinda manipulated my jdks

I mean

[golden turret]

maybe there is an \n?

[worthy knoll]

nah...

[hasty prawn]

Send the code where you're sending that. You probably have a blank sout or a \n somewhere.

[worthy knoll]

I'll show you

[golden turret]

or it is because of the console width

check if you have useless spaces at the end

[worthy knoll]

well

ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY + "CastleSiege" + ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "] " + ChatColor.RESET```

there ya go

happens on another plugin as well

an idea ?

[hasty prawn]

Does it do it if you remove ChatColor.RESET

[worthy knoll]

well

[shadow night]

how do i get server uptime?

[worthy knoll]

it didn't happen on my online server

hosted somewhere in france

[solid cargo]

how can i check if the EntityType im hitting is a player

[worthy knoll]

if(entitywhatever instanceof Player)

[solid cargo]

i want to send a message to the damager to see how much hp the damaged player has

[worthy knoll]

well, already answered ?

[solid cargo]

yeah but how do i get the targets health

[worthy knoll]

if( event.getDamagedEntity instanceof Player)

[solid cargo]

ahh

ok

[worthy knoll]

I mean, something like that

I don't know all ways of doing it

by the way

to get back on my issue

well

removed all jdk

and reinstall jdk 12 and the "runtime environment" thing

To be honest

java versions compatibility sucks

[golden turret]

which spigot version are you running

[worthy knoll]

1.8.8

for pvp

[golden turret]

use jdk 8

[worthy knoll]

well if I do

I can't run other servers

but okay

why not

[golden turret]

welcome to windows

[worthy knoll]

WHY DO YOU NEED TO LOG IN

[golden turret]

just specify the full path to the specific jdk in the other servers

use adoptopenjdk

[hasty prawn]

You can tell Windows to use a specific version of Java for a specific task.

[worthy knoll]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[worthy knoll]

oh yea I already searched

understandable but

somehow my pc just doesn't want to act the way this guy's ants

xznts

wanrs

wanrs

wants

god damn

[golden turret]

https://adoptopenjdk.net/

hope i helped

[lavish hemlock]

just build OpenJDK yourself
absolute gamer moment

[worthy knoll]

WHY DID

oh aaa

THANKS

I SAID

WINDOWS LAUNCH THIS SLDKFJSDLKJF MESSAGE

now my wifif keeps disconnecting

for 2 months now

anyway

U'kk cgecj tgat

I'll check that

hmmf

guess NOW I can code peacefully

thanksssssssssssssssssssss

[solid cargo]

I will leave it like this!

[worthy knoll]

you can use Math#round

or google

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Java+how+to+round+a+very+big+number

[ivory sleet]

str.format("%.1f",num); maybe

if I’m correct rounds to 1 decimal

[solid cargo]

math.round helped

[fickle helm]

is there a way to determine if an entity is a passenger? From what I've found you can only see if a entity has passengers

[ivory sleet]

hmm

there's not rly a method for that

[solid cargo]

how can i make it so that when i hit a mob, it dings for me

[stone sinew]

I think there is player.isInsideVehicle()

[solid cargo]

with a bow

[fickle helm]

in my case it would be for non player entities

[ivory sleet]

oh lol yapperyapss ye

[lost matrix]

player.playSound(player.getEyeLocation(), Sound.BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING, 1F, 1F);

[stone sinew]

Player extends living entity

[solid cargo]

yeah but what if i want to do it with a bow

[fickle helm]

more specifically jockey mobs like skeletons, zombies, etc

[ivory sleet]

All entities extend Entity btw

so would work for u perfectly fine 🙂

[fickle helm]

oh you're saying .isInsideVehicle is part of the Entity interface?

[lost matrix]

EntitiyDamageByEntityEvent
if attacker instanceof Projectile
ProjectileSource from Projectile
if ProjectileSource instanceof Player
play ping to source

[solid cargo]

oh makes sense thanks!

[fickle helm]

found it, thanks! https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#isInsideVehicle()

[quaint mantle]

Anyone have any tutorials or starter points for making a plugin framework?

[quaint mantle]

E.g. framework for custom items, mobs etc.

[solid cargo]

some shiz wrong?

it said Line 16 is wrong which is:
ProjectileSource source = ( (Projectile) event.getEntity() ).getShooter();

[stone sinew]

Your checking damage event. You need to test if the entity causing the damage is a projectile

public void onDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
    if(!(event.getDamager() instanceof Projectile)) return;

    // world.playSound()
}

[lyric grove]

How would i run a task async but get the variable outside?

as i cant run the world async

[solid cargo]

why is world red for me, it doesnt recommend me to import stuff also

[unreal quartz]

run the operation back on the main thread inside the async task

[solid cargo]

ah

[stone sinew]

CompleteableFuture

[quaint mantle]

hi

how can I prohibit the use of an experience bubble with a certain name?

[eternal oxide]

probably https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Item.html#setPickupDelay(int)

[quaint mantle]

thanks

[lyric grove]

thanks

[quaint mantle]

I didn't find it

[eternal oxide]

Yeah, looks like thats only for dropped Items

[quaint mantle]

I need to prohibit the use of an experience bubble with the name

[stone sinew]

What do you mean experience bubble?

[solid cargo]

yo dumb question

but i cant seem to be able to define the world

ik that the first half is World world

[stone sinew]

World world = event.getDamager().getWorld()

[lost matrix]

This doesnt look like it needs to be done async. Im almost certain that spawning a new thread has
practically the same overhead on the main thread.

[solid cargo]

fuck i hate asking for help, but i have to, it is also very basic probably,
Declaration not allowed here
It's telling that to:
World world = event.getDamager().getWorld();

wait dont answer yet

[stone sinew]

Show your code

[lyric grove]

oh

[solid cargo]

i put it in the if statement

oh

lmfao

i fixed it

just need to move my 2 brain cells

[stone sinew]

👍

[lyric grove]

how would i optimise this? As i cant do chunk loading off the main thread, i dont think there is much i can do for this

[lost matrix]

Not much. But if you remove the airdrop later anyways then you can just add a plugin ticket to the chunk
and keep the chunk loaded as long as the airdrop exists. This way the chunk wont constantly unload.

[lyric grove]

oh thanks

[quaint mantle]

exp bottle

[lost matrix]

What exactly do you want to prevent? Throwing the bottle, exp spawning when the bottle pops
or picking up the experience afterwards.

[quaint mantle]

Throwing the bottle

[solid cargo]

this still doesnt work smh. I have tried to get a resolver, which tells what source the arrow comes from, still no ding on Mob hit

[eternal oxide]

ah thats completely different

[lost matrix]

Have you tried just cancelling the PlayerInteractEvent?

[golden turret]

what is the probleme here

[solid cargo]

there are many problems

[golden turret]

list them

[solid cargo]

well, one

[solid cargo]

look at this

i want it so that when i hit a mob with arrow, it dings

or lets take it simply, play a sound

[quaint mantle]

I only need to cancel an exp bottle with a specific name

[golden turret]

@solid cargo

if (event.getDamager() instanceof Projectile) {
  //dont forget to get the projectile sender
}```

[crimson terrace]

That also works if a shulker hits u tho

[solid cargo]

i can get the projectile sender by
ProjectileSource source = ((Projectile) event.getEntity()).getShooter();
right?

[golden turret]

for this reason i said to check the shooter

yes

check if the source is a player

if yes

gg

if not

sad

[lost matrix]

  @EventHandler
  public void onHit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
    Entity attacker = event.getDamager();
    
    // If attacker is not a Projectile then do nothing
    if (!(attacker instanceof Projectile)) {
      return;
    }

    Projectile projectile = (Projectile) attacker;
    ProjectileSource source = projectile.getShooter();

    // If ProjectileSource is not a Player then do nothing
    if (!(source instanceof Player)) {
      return;
    }

    Player shooter = (Player) source;
  }

[solid cargo]

tysm, been trying to fix this for an hour, hopefully this works

i hate that in java if ur code even makes sense, it might not run

[golden turret]

no

[lost matrix]

If your code makes sense then it will run perfectly fine.

[golden turret]

yes

[lost matrix]

If code misbehaves then its 99.9% the fault of whom write it.

[solid cargo]

ok that was a bold claim

[manic crater]

Idk how to fix this, so kinda wanna ask for help here so im gonna ask i hope im not bothering anyone's help session,

So im having this issue where when i click in this menu ive created it doesnt run the command for one of the items but for the other it does. And both of them have commands in them.

So i am wondering if someone can look into it and help me find out the problem.

[golden turret]

i wont say the solution

but iwilll say something that maybe can help

[manic crater]

will you at least tell me the line #?

alright cool

[lost matrix]

Show some code pls.

[golden turret]

do a simple item callback system

[manic crater]

https://pastebin.com/7jvP2uw3 <- The entire class file.

[lost matrix]

If he was able to write this then he would prob not ask for help XD

[golden turret]

maybe he simply dont know about that

[lost matrix]

Did you literally write one big fat JavaPlugin class?

[manic crater]

yes for rn

its gonna be split up when done

[quaint mantle]

Thats horrible

[lost matrix]

Dont do that. Bat habits die hard.

[quaint mantle]

do it before and save yourself the hassle

[manic crater]

eh, well ill do it after this gets resolved then

[golden turret]

i would do that with something like this https://github.com/WizardlyBump17/WLib/tree/main/core/src/main/java/com/wizardlybump17/wlib/inventory

would save a lot of time

[lost matrix]

1. Refactor all your single letter variables.
2. Dont identify the click action by the ItemStack that was clicked but the slotID.
   Much more reliable for now.
   @manic crater

[golden turret]

yes

[manic crater]

ah ok, so is that basically the key to my answer? xD

[golden turret]

and make a simply system for to make an inventory based in a string

like

#########

1

#########

the # is black glass
the 1 is your item

[lost matrix]

This should do it for now. Just check the clicked slot ID instead of the clicked item.

[golden turret]

much faster too

[manic crater]

alright hold up let me quickly make an example and see if im on the right track.

[shadow night]

Why not just make it with cmd blocks? Its much easier

[manic crater]

bc cmd blocks can lag out ur server if multiple ppl open the menu.

[lost matrix]

[shadow night]

Ah yes, why not use commands in the plugin?

[lost matrix]

Your UpdatableHolder#update() method could use some refactoring...

[manic crater]

wdym im using commands...

[golden turret]

yes

[lost matrix]

Do you merge PRs?

[shadow night]

Like use commands in the plugin (something like plugin.executeCommand("/replaceitem..."))

[golden turret]

if it be a good pr

[lost matrix]

No. Im gonna break everything and leave a mess.

[golden turret]

sad

[lost matrix]

Then force push to master

[golden turret]

:C

[lost matrix]

Oh... gradle

hm

[manic crater]

Anyway sorry for long time trying to figure out something but

is this right?

if(e.getSlot() == 1)

agh i need to figure out better code block stuff i stg. xD

like do u think that would work by any chance or nah

[lost matrix]

This gonna take a while. Who supports 1.8 in 2021 anyways...

[manic crater]

bro..

i used to use 1.8 now i dont but

What the hell

just use 1.8......

[golden turret]

and i want to add all versions above 1.8

[manic crater]

i mean 1.17

sdjghal

[lost matrix]

Ew

[manic crater]

if ur using 1.8 ur plugin auto supports higher versions then 1.8 till some features start to break past 1.13.

[golden turret]

i did a simple copy of xseries

at least for items

[manic crater]

@lost matrix never got ur feedback yet on this but this does seam right in a sense yes?

[manic crater]

What is "XSeries"?

[golden turret]

https://github.com/CryptoMorin/XSeries

[manic crater]

ah ok

but still why dont u use 1.17???

1.17 has better stable support + its not broken like 1.8

[golden turret]

say it to 1.8 players

not for developers

[manic crater]

ppl only play on 1.8 to play on hypixel without lag back issues and bugs.

• hypixel's developers develop plugins in 1.17....

[lost matrix]

Looks good to me

[manic crater]

ight ok good, so i am on the right track, God bless your soul. <3

and i will be splitting up my entire plugin now so i dont have to hear like 500000 wtf's from ppl lmao

[lost matrix]

Well. 1.8 needs java 8 and i dont keep ancient software on my pc. Not gonna happen then.

[golden turret]

lists of all minecraft servers updated 2021:
hypixel
hypixel
hypixel
hypixel
hypixel
hypixel

[manic crater]

never. never type that EVER again like that.

it looks so spam like and takes up literally 1000000% of this chat.

[manic crater]

java 8 and 1.8 are bs

Issue: Same issue still ocuring ;-;

[golden turret]

well, i want that wlib have compatiblity with all 1.8+ versions and these versions are very used

mainly in brazil

[lost matrix]

1.8 is like 8% or something

[manic crater]

literally 99% of users are on 1.17

prove me wrong.

[golden turret]

if a normal brazillian tries to run 1.17 his pc will explode

[manic crater]

Like idk why but only the message happens every other bit of code i put doesnt work for some reason in the gui.....

[manic crater]

i mean at least a lot of ppl are using like some what NEAR the latest versions.

[golden turret]

almost sure that this is of servers only

[eternal oxide]

It is, but its the most accurate metric we have

[golden turret]

for servers

i would say that if a community metric about minecraft version happen, 1.8 will have more than 8%

[eternal oxide]

I doubt it

[golden turret]

wont say that this is the most popular but relevant

[manic crater]

dude

literally

like

[shadow tide]

Would this work for a fireball?

velocity.multiply(2);
entity.setVelocity(velocity);```

[manic crater]

the 8% is hypixel ( bc they have like what 10k Servers. ) then is mineplex , the hive etc.

[eternal oxide]

hypixel is not on 1.8

[manic crater]

they are

[golden turret]

dont see why not

[manic crater]

the only thing they dont have thats 1.8 is the Hypixel SMP features.

[golden turret]

almost sure that they are in the latest

[eternal oxide]

They are not. I'm told they are on 1.12 custom for pretty much everything

[manic crater]

No? Cause then 1.8 users would have tons of lag back.

[golden turret]

viaversion, viabackwards

[stone sinew]

The hive shut down its java network

[shadow tide]

k, I was just asking because in minecraft the velocity is in x, y, and z, so I didn't know if I needed a single axis thing

[manic crater]

Ik

[golden turret]

i would say that 2 is a very big number for that

[shadow tide]

it works fine for tnt

should I lower it for a fireball

[golden turret]

try and see

[manic crater]

if(e.getSlot() == 11) {
                p.performCommand("server skyblock");
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("sending-to-skyblock")));
                return;
            }
            
            if(e.getSlot() == 15) {
                p.performCommand("server Clicker");
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("sending-to-clicker")));
                return;
            }

For some reasonly only the SkyBlock one works and yet the clicker one doesnt. i dont understand the logic....

[golden turret]

velocity is a pain

[shadow tide]

k

[golden turret]

you arent clicking the right slot then

hope i helped

[manic crater]

No i am

like

[golden turret]

use rawSlot then

[manic crater]

it sends the msg

just doesnt execute the cmd

[shadow tide]

and I swear every time I export my plugin it says it cant find the main so I have to click f5 like ten times

[manic crater]

Tried that..

[manic crater]

bruh

[eternal oxide]

getDirection() returns a unit vector which has a length of 1. That corresponds to 1 block per tick. Multiply for yoru desired speed

[golden turret]

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("sending-to-clicker"))); runs? @manic crater

[manic crater]

yes.

yes it is, i have used it many times.

[shadow tide]

k so two blocks a tick works fine for tnt so I think it will be fine for a fireball

so like a sudo thing but for an armor stand? I got no clue

[manic crater]

getting an entity to perform a command.... well for starters i thought u said " Is it even possible to do this. "

And idk, but what i do know is, Citizens is all entity based, so decompile it and give it a look through.

[eternal oxide]

Entities don;t perform commands

[manic crater]

Yes they do, Citizens specifically has it execute a command if u add it to it.

[quaint mantle]

Entity#performCommand afaik

[golden turret]

no

[eternal oxide]

Only Players can perform commands

[manic crater]

yeah but citizens, its entity based. not player based.

[golden turret]

nothing

[golden turret]

they use the interact event

[manic crater]

yeah, but its still linked with in the entity.

look the only way that we will know what does what is if we asked the owner of citizens. 😆

[eternal oxide]

any code can issue a console command but its better to use available APIs if you can

[manic crater]

if(e.getSlot() == 11) {
                p.performCommand("server skyblock");
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("sending-to-skyblock")));
                return;
            }
            
            if(e.getSlot() == 15) {
                p.performCommand("server Clicker");
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("sending-to-clicker")));
                return;
            }

Back to this issue pls???

Cuz for some reason i cant get it to make the user execute the cmd, but yet for skyblock it runs fine.

and clicker it doesnt run the cmd or any other code besides the msg.

[shadow tide]

how do you make the explosion size larger, in minecraft its an nbt tag. explosionPower:1b

(for a fireball)

[manic furnace]

How can i put a hyperlink in the desription of a resource?

[manic crater]

wtf is a hyperlink

[opal juniper]

wrong chat

[shadow tide]

a link, you obviously don't use HTML

[eternal oxide]

if it shows the message its running your command. try using lower case in the server name?

[manic crater]

yeah

[opal juniper]

im assuming you mean the spigotmc page?

[manic furnace]

Yes

[quaint mantle]

My bad, it's Server#dispatchCommand, you pass the entity as the commandsender

[opal juniper]

uh idk if you can

[manic crater]

Still doesnt work @eternal oxide :/

[shadow tide]

^

[manic crater]

https://www.digminecraft.com/data_tags/fireball.php

[eternal oxide]

if you got the message for sending to clicker then its yoru command that is at issue

[haughty plover]

Awesome.

[eternal oxide]

or the server is offline

[opal juniper]

Cast to TNTPrimed iirc

there are methods there

[shadow tide]

???

[manic crater]

hm, idk..... :/ gotta look into it

[shadow tide]

what does that mean

[opal juniper]

oh wait mb

you said fireball

[manic crater]

wait.. i wanna see something rq.......

[shadow tide]

yeah

[manic crater]

@shadow tide i literally sent u how to make a fireball explosion bigger...

[shadow tide]

and I don't know what you mean by "Cast to"

[manic crater]

like i literally sent u the LINK for NBT Tags for FIREBALLS

[shadow tide]

I mean in a plugin

[opal juniper]

i mean if you get the entity object

then you can cast it to Fireball

[shadow tide]

ahh

[opal juniper]

Fireball#setYield()

[shadow tide]

so for a fireball how do I make the explosion larger or even better set NBT Tags

[opal juniper]

this

[shadow tide]

umm, is that for the Spigot API

?

[opal juniper]

yea?

[shadow tide]

idk

people are telling me about other things

and entity.setYield isn't a value

[opal juniper]

NBT shit is stupid and you should avoid it if there are better ways

[shadow tide]

k

[opal juniper]

thats not what i said

[shadow tide]

then idk what you mean

[opal juniper]

Its not a method of Entity

[shadow tide]

what is it'

[opal juniper]

its a method of Fireball

which extends Projectile which in turn extends Entity

hmm

actually

are you spawning the fireballs in your plugin?

[shadow tide]

yes

[opal juniper]

Well World#spawnEntity returns the entity object

[shadow tide]

                    Entity entity = player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.FIREBALL);
                    Vector velocity = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection();
                    velocity.multiply(2);
                    entity.setVelocity(velocity);```

[opal juniper]

yeah ok

so cast the entity to Fireball

[eternal oxide]

((Fireball) entity).setYield(x)

[opal juniper]

and then you will have access to the setYield

what he said lol

[shadow tide]

I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry I just started developing plugins so can you just tell me the line of code I need to write and if you want, explain it

[opal juniper]

ElgarL did...

[shadow tide]

huh

where do I write that then

[opal juniper]

uh

[eternal oxide]

We'll let you work out that part

[opal juniper]

(it needs to go in a method)

[shadow tide]

in an entity. method? don't tell me the answer but give me hints

[eternal oxide]

Which entity do you think it would affect?

[shadow tide]

this one Entity entity = player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.FIREBALL);

[eternal oxide]

Looks promising

[shadow tide]

soo Entity entity = player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.FIREBALL, ((Fireball) entity).setYield(x));?

[severe marsh]

Anyone has any good conversation API tutorials which are easy to understand?

[eternal oxide]

no

[shadow tide]

uhh

[eternal oxide]

put it on its own line

[shadow tide]

err

I have no clue

[eternal oxide]

and replace x with whatever size you want

[shadow tide]

ik

[eternal oxide]

Entity entity = player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.FIREBALL);
((Fireball) entity).setYield(10);```

[tepid cargo]

Excuse me, is there a way to have autocomplete options for bungee commands i add?

[quaint mantle]

I'm trying to check if a player clicks a GUI,
Did some digging and ended up writing this. It should work,
But it constantly thinks i'm clicking the default player inventory
What can i do, is there any other way to check if a GUI is clicked instead of player inventory?

package com.plugin.TabCompleters.Utils;

import com.plugin.Main;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.InventoryHolder;

public class GUIUtils implements InventoryHolder {

    private Main main;
    private Player player;
    private Inventory GUI;

    public GUIUtils (Player player) {
        this.player = player;
        this.GUI = Bukkit.createInventory(player, 36, ChatColor.AQUA + "Odyssey GUI");
    }

    public void setGui() {
        this.player.openInventory(GUI);
    }

    @Override
    public Inventory getInventory() {
        return this.GUI;
    }

}

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
        GUIUtils guiUtils = new GUIUtils(player);

        if (!(event.getInventory().equals(guiUtils.getInventory()))) {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Clicked GUI");
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Clicked player inventory");
        }

    }

[opal juniper]

you gave in lol

[shadow tide]

whaat?

ok

but that doesn't make any sense to me

[eternal oxide]

Yep. It was too painful

[shadow tide]

so explain

[eternal oxide]

What doesn;t make sense about it?

[shadow tide]

that a new line starts with (

I thought it always had to be a method

[eternal oxide]

when you spawn an Entity you are returned the Entity you spawned, but not as the type you asked for. Just a generic Entity

[opal juniper]

from the fact that the GUIUtils implements InventoryHolder it seems weird that you set the inventory holder to be the player

[eternal oxide]

So entity only behaves as a generic Entity. If you want to access the Fireball methods, you have to turn it into a Fireball

[shadow tide]

how does that explain it starting with (

[opal juniper]

why can a line not start with a (

[eternal oxide]

You need to learn about java type casting

[opal juniper]

yep

[shadow tide]

WHAT IS THAT

my brain

[eternal oxide]

?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.

[opal juniper]

Casting is like changing the data type of a variable

[shadow tide]

https://tenor.com/view/jays-brain-windows-shutdown-error-jays-brain-currently-overload-gif-17032889

[eternal oxide]

https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_type_casting.asp

[shadow tide]

doesn't help

[eternal oxide]

look at the second example

int myInt = (int) myDouble; // Manual casting: double to int

[opal juniper]

Also, every time they click you are making a new GUIUtils object, you should just set the holder to this when you make the inventory and then check with an instanceof check in the listener

[eternal oxide]

that is casting a double to an int

[shadow tide]

ok

[eternal oxide]

see the (int)? That is a type cast

so casting your entity object to a Fireball

[shadow tide]

and ((Fireball) entity).setYield(10); is a type cast?

[opal juniper]

Yep

[shadow tide]

got it

[eternal oxide]

teh (...) are simply surrounding elements to control what order things happen

So first it casts the entity object into a Fireball, then you have access to teh fireball methods for setYield

[shadow tide]

ctrl + s, F5x20, export

[torn vale]

Why does it not save the locations?

[opal juniper]

define "it not save the locations"

what doesn't work

also - you can just call Location#serialize()

and then Location.deserialise

[torn vale]

If I type /setspawn the config.yml doesn't get updatet. So it still looks like this after sending the command:

spawnX:
spawnY:
spawnZ:
spawnYaw:
spawnPitch:```

[golden turret]

you need to save the config

[torn vale]

                            LobbySystem.getPlugin(LobbySystem.class).getConfig().save("plugin/LobbySystem/config.yml");
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();```
Doesn't this save the config?

[shadow tide]

quick question how do I make a command only available for ops

I need an answer fast pls

[eternal oxide]

set it to ops in the plugin.yml

[shadow tide]

how

I only have 5 mins pls

[eternal oxide]

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

[ivory sleet]

?plugin-yml also works 😄

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

eww what an ugly command

[ivory sleet]

[eternal oxide]

I guess it might make it memorable

[shadow tide]

alright I get the permission part in YML but what is the op permission? like minecraft.op or minecraft.operator

idk what it is

[eternal oxide]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/#permissions

set default:op

[shadow tide]

ahh

[eternal oxide]

if you want to command to only ever be available to ops, just don;t set a permission nor a default

[shadow tide]

?

I didn't

[quaint mantle]

wtf is that

that is the most ugly emoji i've ever seen

[ivory sleet]

lmao

first thing coming up when typing :sad

[ruby dove]

what happens if p.closeInventory() is called when the inventory is already closed?

[hasty prawn]

Try it and see

[unreal quartz]

your server explodes and the universe ends

[ruby dove]

was just about to xd i've been having an issue with it but im gonna try now

[austere cove]

yo does any of you know how mc's NbtAccounter works?

the values passed to it don't make sense to me

e.g. for an EndTag

doesn't store any data and the tag id is stored in a byte (=8bits) so I don't understand where the 64 bits is coming from

[opaque grove]

This code snippet only outputs something for mobs except for the ender dragon, why?

@EventHandler
    public void onEnderDragonDeath(EntityDeathEvent e) {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(String.valueOf(e.getEntity()));
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof EnderDragon) {
            System.out.println("test");
        }
    }

[ruby dove]

how do I check if the player has an open inventory? such as a chest or a GUI?

is it getOpenInventory or getInventory?

[opal juniper]

getOpenInventory

and i believe it is nullable

[ruby dove]

yeah

what is itemmeta thing for damage 🤨

[shadow tide]

I want to change the damage of my item

@ruby dove

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#addAttributeModifier(org.bukkit.attribute.Attribute,org.bukkit.attribute.AttributeModifier)

[shadow tide]

this throws an error meta.addAttributeModifier(GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE, 1)

[eternal oxide]

and

You have told me nothing I can work with

[shadow tide]

I want to change the attribute GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE

how do I do that

[eternal oxide]

Show me the error and I will teach you how to read it

[young knoll]

I mean that isn’t the format for that method

[eternal oxide]

I know the error already

but you need to learn how to read

[shadow tide]

it didn't actually throw an error. its just underlined red. I need to know the format for that method

I know how to read errors

[eternal oxide]

underlined in read = method does not exist

Look at teh method definition in teh javadoc

[ruby dove]

hello

[shadow tide]

GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE was underlined in red. so its the wrong thing to put in the method

[eternal oxide]

the 1 is wrong

read the javadoc, it tells you the exact args the method requires

[shadow tide]

GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE, 1, AttributeModifier.Operation I don't know what that last one means

[eternal oxide]

You are not reading the javadoc.

the method takes TWO arguments

[shadow tide]

I'm reading the spigot documentation

[eternal oxide]

read teh link I gave you

addAttributeModifier
boolean addAttributeModifier​(@NotNull Attribute attribute, @NotNull AttributeModifier modifier)

Add an Attribute and it's Modifier. AttributeModifiers```

[shadow tide]

I read that I'm talking about AttributeModifier

not addAttributeModifier

[eternal oxide]

ok, new AttributeModifier(...)

[shadow tide]

Listen, this documentation is super out of my comfort zone

[eternal oxide]

Yes, you need to learn more java to be comfortable

teh documentation is really good, once you know java

[shadow tide]

I guess I'm just used to w3schools and python's documentation

[eternal oxide]

This documentation is standard for all Java

[shadow tide]

ok

[eternal oxide]

you need to provide the modifier

AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_NUMBER or any of the three

[shadow tide]

??? listen I'M SORRY FOR NOT KNOWING MORE JAVA

but I DON'T UNDERSTAND

[eternal oxide]

Without writing it for you (which you will learn nothing) I'm not sure I can dumb it down further.

You understand what a constructor is?

[shadow tide]

yes

I think

no

[eternal oxide]

Look at the javadoc and see the objects constructors https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/attribute/AttributeModifier.html

[winged anvil]

elgar you know anything about plugin messaging ?

[eternal oxide]

when you use new Object you are creating an instance of the object, using its constructor

[shadow tide]

Description
AttributeModifier​(String name, double amount, AttributeModifier.Operation operation)
 
AttributeModifier​(UUID uuid, String name, double amount, AttributeModifier.Operation operation)
 
AttributeModifier​(UUID uuid, String name, double amount, AttributeModifier.Operation operation, EquipmentSlot slot)
 ``` this?

[eternal oxide]

yes

each of those is a constructor. you can use any of them

[shadow tide]

ok

[eternal oxide]

it tells you what you have to provide as arguments to create a new object

[shadow tide]

ok

lets make a thread so we don't bog up this channel

[eternal oxide]

so if you were using the top one, String, double, AttributeModifier.Operation

[shadow tide]

ElgarL teaches Cj stuff

[ruby dove]

hello it's saying title doesnt match even on the onMove event, although it's only implemented in the onClose event and the title also matches so why is it displaying this??

                p.openInventory(menu.getInv());

        } 
      }

[unkempt peak]

why are you using p.getOpenInventory()?

[lost matrix]

If you open an inv when the player freezes then there is no need to check the inv name.
Just cancel the close event regardles.

[ruby dove]

ok cause I want to open the inventory again

when they close it

[lost matrix]

Btw i hope frozen is not a List.
Also -> dont make collections public and dont pass them to other classes via a getter.
They should have strong encapsulation. Your FreezeExecutor should have a method
public boolean isFrozen(Player) and public void freeze(Player) instead.

[ruby dove]

its a collection

[lost matrix]

What type of collection?

[ruby dove]

string

[lost matrix]

Not the generic type... What collection implementation.

[ruby dove]

oh sorry

let me check

o nvm it's an arraylist

[lost matrix]

1. Dont compare players by their name
2. Dont use lists if you call contains rly often

You should use a
private final Set<UUID>
instead

[ruby dove]

ok i will change it but how can I open the inventory after they closed it?

[lost matrix]

Cancel the InventoryCloseEvent

But you dont have to check the inventory name.
Just check if they are frozen.

[young knoll]

It’s not cancellable

[ruby dove]

it doesn't have a setcancelled

yea

[lost matrix]

Its not?

[young knoll]

Nope

[lost matrix]

Ah i see... then just reopen the inv again i guess.

[ruby dove]

that's what im doing

[trail remnant]

why is https://pastebin.com/irTyYZSC giving me this error: https://pastebin.com/KB7DpPpe

[ruby dove]

well trying to do *

[lost matrix]

You cant cast a ConfigurationSection to a List

[trail remnant]

so would it be a set?

[lost matrix]

plugin.getConfig().getList() instead

[trail remnant]

ah ok thanks 😄

im getting this error now https://pastebin.com/bK4auzZh i dont see anything thats wrong though

Never heard of it but it looks interesting. They Lazy<T> for example.

[paper viper]

Yeah

[lost matrix]

There is a getStringList() method iirc

Btw
List<String> keys = (List<String>) plugin.getConfig().getKeys(false);
Do you even check the return types of your methods?
getKeys returns a Set<String>

yeah?
