Well, firstly, please format that ;p

lost matrix Oct 1, 2021, 12:01 AM

First thing you do now is go into your class and format it

#

What IDE do you use

worldly ingot Oct 1, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

Ctrl + A, Ctrl + Shift + I

#

(I think it's with Shift?)

oh god eclipse? @-@

lost matrix Oct 1, 2021, 12:02 AM

Or you do the whole class with Ctrl + Shift + F

worldly ingot Oct 1, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

Oh, it's Ctrl + I

#

No shift, sorry lol

#

If you did Ctrl + Shift + I already, just Ctrl + Z it. Haha

#

I ALWAYS forget whether or not there's a Shift

            player.sendMessage(org.bukkit.ChatColor.BLUE + "Discord: " + org.bukkit.ChatColor.YELLOW + discord);
        }

Can just be

      String discord = ((String) main.getConfig().getString("Discord"));
      player.sendMessage(org.bukkit.ChatColor.BLUE + "Discord: " + org.bukkit.ChatColor.YELLOW + discord);

solar sable Oct 1, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

so am i

worldly ingot Oct 1, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

A few notes,
(1) That case to Player will cause you issues if you run it from the console. Though you don't even have to cast to Player. CommandSender declares sendMessage()
(2) The check for cmd.getName() is unnecessary. It's an executor, it will probably be the Discord command executor
(3) You're always returning inside of that check, so the code after it is never run
(4) The block above String discord and player.sendMessage() is redundant

#

Your implementation there can be simplified down to about just 4 lines

#

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (sender.hasPermission("store.discord")) {
            String discord = main.getConfig().getString("Discord");
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "Discord: " + ChatColor.YELLOW + discord);
        }

        return true;
    }```

#

And if you want to be fancy, you can declare permission: store.discord inside of your plugin.yml with your command so you don't even have to make that perm check

commands:
  discord:
    description: Get a link to the Discord
    usage: /<command>
    permission: store.discord

i love getting help but most of the times when its asking a lil too much they just get annoyed

worldly ingot Oct 1, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

If you do that trick I mentioned above with the plugin.yml it will send one for you automatically and you don't have to do the permission check yourself, Bukkit will handle it for you

#

You can even customize that message with a permission-message: "You don't have permission" option as well

Really depends on the API implementation. With the interface you need a really clean design and also a way to make it intuitive.
Maybe even provide a trivialised alternative.

If you use the spigot-api only, then you have no idea what the actual implementation will be later on.

One way might be to make a RESTful api

hasty prawn Oct 1, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

So like, for example, if theres an interface called Server, the actual implementation could be CraftServer or PaperServer or TacoServer, etc etc

#

Obviously PaperServer and TacoServer aren't real but as an example

snow ember Oct 1, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

hasty prawn Can't they still find the implementation classes

No especially in spigot
look at the source code it's all interfaces

prime reef Oct 1, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

lost matrix If you dont want to expose the src then just provide an API layer using a bunch ...

That's what I was thinking, write an interface using the plugin itself as a dependency

snow ember Oct 1, 2021, 2:16 AM

I still never really have understood how spigot hides the implementation classes

hasty prawn Oct 1, 2021, 2:16 AM

The implementation classes are usually just the same name with Craft at the start

Implementation of Server is CraftServer

yea

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:29 AM

So you have the coordinates of the chunk itself

And you want to get the centre block coordinate

#

Multiple the x and z of the chunk by 16

#

And then add 8

autumn ingot Oct 1, 2021, 2:31 AM

so i need a bukkit location

young knoll And you have Bukkit.getWorld(uuid)

how am i getting a block fro mthat

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:37 AM

#

You have a world now

#

And you have an x y and z

#

So you can construct a location

#

You need a comma

#

It’s 2 arguments

autumn ingot Oct 1, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

young knoll And you have an x y and z

i dont have an x and y and z tho

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

Also you need a component, not a string

autumn ingot Oct 1, 2021, 2:38 AM

#

where am i getting that from

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:39 AM

#

Like I said

#

x * 16 + 8

autumn ingot Oct 1, 2021, 2:39 AM

#

that will not do anything

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:39 AM

#

Sure it will

autumn ingot Oct 1, 2021, 2:39 AM

#

that will just give me the same location every time

#

those x and z's are chunk relative

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 2:40 AM

#

The javadocs say they are chunk coordinates

#

Can you confirm they only output 0-15?

#

    deserialize.get("world"), deserialize.get("name"),deserialize.get("displayName") //this returns objects and i need strings then doubles for x,y,z

#

i mean in world i need a world type

opal juniper Oct 1, 2021, 8:30 AM

#

is there any particular reason you are using the x y z & world rather than a Location

#

because Location#serialize and Location.deserialize are a thing

Probably avoiding yaw and pitch shrug

#

although they arent required by the constructor but will be serialised ig

im not a fan of this class name

seems like you are using it for any Holo - dont need to put Serialize in the name just cause it implements serializable

team.addEntry("Click!");
team.setNameTagVisibility(NameTagVisibility.NEVER);

opal juniper Thought that teams only applied to players

idk, but im messing up somehow. im applying this team to everyone when i'm not sure what i should be doing, it does make npc nametags invisible, which removes the hearts thing i have under their nameplates, and the only way to do that.

quaint mantle Hey is there a way i can replace a item from someone's hand?

Player#SetItemInHand

rugged topaz Oct 1, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

This is probably a question to ask the devs
(the cititzens one)
i imagine there must be a method to remove them
somebody here's gotta know, if anything, this channel is what gave me the idea or the fact that teams would be the only way to remove NPC nameplates

quaint mantle Player#SetItemInHand

k thx 🙂

#

I think that may be deprecated tho 🤔

#

Have a look

#

okay 🙂

opal juniper Oct 1, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

it is

#

it is main / off hand now

quaint mantle Oct 1, 2021, 9:28 AM

#

opal juniper it is main / off hand now

aa will it work for spigot 1.8.8?

opal juniper Oct 1, 2021, 9:28 AM

#

probably

#

its old af

#

they didnt have offhands then right?

rugged topaz Oct 1, 2021, 9:28 AM

#

quaint mantle aa will it work for spigot 1.8.8?

for 1.8, Player#setItemInHand(ItemStack)

rugged topaz Oct 1, 2021, 9:28 AM

1.9 brought that

opal juniper Oct 1, 2021, 9:29 AM

what i thought

#

i think Player#setItemInHand dafaults to main hand beyond 1.8 - but dont use it anyways

yes

crimson terrace Oct 1, 2021, 11:00 AM

#

you get a list of the online players by using server#getOnlinePlayers and make a String list you put all the names from the onlinePlayers list into that

#

List<String> players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().map(player -> player.getName()).collect(Collectors.toList());```

young knoll Oct 1, 2021, 11:07 AM

#

I believe you can use a method reference there

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

yeah

#

Player::getName

#

even then, why use streams? they're slightly more inefficient than just writing out a foreach, y'know

#

if you're truly poggers, make your own functional lib with monadic lists :) (or use Kotlin)

#

bc y'know, the above in Kotlin is just

#

val players = Bukkit.onlinePlayers.map(Player::getName)/map { it.name }

#

ez

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:11 AM

#

what does it compile to

#

from kotlin

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:11 AM

#

probably

#

List<String> players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().map(Player::getName)

#

which is the Java representation of what it would compile to

#

List in Kotlin is completely different from List in Java.

#

For one, Kotlin's List is not an interface and instead represents an immutable list (while MutableList is a mutable list)

#

And it contains a large amount of utility methods.

#

(Which may or may not be extension functions, I'd have to check)

#

But the benefit is that you're applying that function to the list instead of applying it to a Stream (or Sequence in Kotlin)

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:13 AM

#

the #map() function is missing in java, would make things a lot cleaner sometimes

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:14 AM

#

which has significantly less overhead as you don't have to instantiate a new stream pipeline, although the immutable list may make it slightly less efficient

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:14 AM

#

analog ore the #map() function is missing in java, would make things a lot cleaner sometime...

#

#

I've been up way too long 👀

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:15 AM

#

well

#

the value on the right would be true

#

but the one on the left would be false

#

so it would return false

vagrant stratus Oct 1, 2021, 11:16 AM

I meant code wise lol

#

it's for command arg checking

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:16 AM

#

oh

#

well

#

I don't know how you want to check for -1 lmao

vagrant stratus Oct 1, 2021, 11:16 AM

#

e.g.
a min of 2 but max of -1 being infinite in this case

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:16 AM

#

#

vagrant stratus Oct 1, 2021, 11:16 AM

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:17 AM

#

see you have to represent 3 possibilities in this

#

not in range
in range
infinite range

#

which means you need a bit of a tristate-esque enum

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

return value == -1 || checkRange?

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

~~damn I just cracked my knuckles so hard they fucking echoed~~

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

oh wait you mean unbound low/high

vagrant stratus Oct 1, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

I believe for -1 it would just consider anything above min true, yea?

minArgs = 3
maxArgs = -1

so as long as it's 3 or above it's true

minArgs = 3
maxArgs = 6
must be between 3-6 args

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

you could just add the -1 check inside each condition then

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

not the value right?

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:20 AM

that method is for checking the bounds

#

and checking if the value is in the bounds

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 11:20 AM

but value is not gonna be 1

#

he wants to pass through if the argument ranges are -1

lavish hemlock Oct 1, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

oh

vagrant stratus Oct 1, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

Yea, if the args are clamped to 1 and 5 for example it must be between 1 and 5 however if it's between 1 and -1 then as long as it's 1 or above it's true

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

Really

#

I'm not sure here

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

Static variables are referenced by the Class object which is referenced by the class loader. unless the class is unloaded the static variables are permanent

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

Which is not safe because every single hard reference to the class and the classloader needs to go away

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:27 PM

eternal oxide Static variables are referenced by the Class object which is referenced by the c...

Okay so.
Class Loader -> Class -> Field -> Object

And I set the field value to null, hence killing the Field -> Object reference. The object would then end up unreachable in heap memory right?

#

There would be no reference to it, hence it would be eligible for GC?

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:29 PM

But why?

Why set it to null

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:29 PM

#

analog ore Okay so. Class Loader -> Class -> Field -> Object And I set the field value to ...

If its static, no.

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

I could accept you saying simply no, but I'm interested in what's the reason behind it.

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

Sure the value of the field would be gone and gc’d if isn’t referenced somewhere else

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

ivory sleet Sure the value of the field would be gone and gc’d if isn’t referenced somewhere...

So it would

#

Be gc'd

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

But then using your static variable is pointless

#

If it isn’t going to be referenced from somewhere else

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:31 PM

#

Its a static field so its referenced by the Class. Setting it to null, its still referenced by the class.

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

Just by assigning a variable null does not mean its current instance it was holding will be gc’d

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

if it is referenced it can't be put up for GC

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:33 PM

#

And obv if you’d have a static final variable of a primitive type the value is going to be inlined so there you don’t even have to be worried.

Not sure what I should've found out there

#

I understand how classes & interfaces are unloaded

#

I'm interested in the field referencing another object in heap

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

static variables are covered under those rules too

#

Just because you set it to null does not remove all references to it.

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

I understand that

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:38 PM

#

a static field is referenced by the class its in. So unless you can unload that class your field is held by the class reference

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:38 PM

#

But you're still talking about fields, not their values

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

You already got the answer of their values

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

analog ore When you set a static field to null, is it eligible for GC

^ that was your question. The field.

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

Okay okay

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

He asked if the instance the field was referencing to would be gc’d tho if he would mutate the variable with null.

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

Yup

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

um, an interesting question

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

And the answer is yes and no

analog ore Oct 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

Thanks for rephrasing

eternal oxide Oct 1, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

I don't know but I would assume yes, however it could be reassigned

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

If some other variable references that object, then it by convention cannot be gc’d unless some very specific circumstances I’m not going to talk about, but if that field is the only strong reference to that object then yes, it’d be enqueued for gc.

public static void addLine(String holo, String text) {
        ConfigurationSection section = 
        data.getConfig().getConfigurationSection(holo);
        List<String> lines = section.getStringList("lines");
        lines.add(text);
        section.set("lines", lines);
        data.saveConfig();
    }

is there anything wrong about this ?

Is there a way to read the real code behind a spigot method? I would like to see Player#getScoreboard()

#

Like deobfuscated

ivory sleet Oct 1, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

well

#

just depend on the server jar rather on the api

#

use mojmaps in case you want to "unobfuscate" it

gusty bough Oct 1, 2021, 5:45 PM

not for mojang code but spigot one
