A player extends HumanEntity?

[young knoll]

Correct

[grizzled briar]

I see

[young knoll]

player.openInventory works fine

[grizzled briar]

oh does it?

My bad, didn't spot it in the docs

Thanks

[tender shard]

sure, maven-exec-plugin

[vale ember]

thanks

[tender shard]

or wait

@vale ember

maven-resources-plugin is easier

example

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>

                                <resource>
                                    <directory>${basedir}/allatori</directory>
                                    <includes>
                                        <include>allatori.xml</include>
                                    </includes>
                                    <filtering>true</filtering>
                                </resource>
                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

that just copies allatori.xml from one dir to another

[vale ember]

thanks

[tender shard]

actually Player is the only official interface that inherits HumanEntity IIRC

[tender shard]

it's in the list of methods inherited by HumanEntity, no need to cast it or sth

[grizzled briar]

so the player inherits all methods from HumanEntity?

Alright

[tender shard]

yes

[grizzled briar]

thanks

[tender shard]

np

and of course also all methods from Entity, LivingEntity, etc 🙂

[young knoll]

And AnimalTamer, Attributable, CommandSender, Damageable, InventoryHolder, Metadatable, Nameable, Permissible, PersistentDataHolder, ProjectileSource, ServerOperator

[solid cargo]

does a space count as char?

[wide coyote]

yes

[tender shard]

well

only when it's within 'single quotes'

otherwise it's a "string"

[solid cargo]

yeah ik that

[unreal quartz]

yes

[errant snow]

yes

[tender shard]

yes

[little trail]

[tender shard]

does the DB exist?

[little trail]

yes

note the 2nd part

[eternal night]

What maniac uses string.format

[little trail]

it mentions the token

[eternal night]

Instead of prepared statements

[tender shard]

yeah that's indeed "creative" lmao

[little trail]

ok may you explain how to do that instead of calling me a maniac?

[eternal night]

Yea sorry XD wasn't meant to be too rude

[tender shard]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/prepared.html

[eternal night]

Prepared statements basically can do what you want

They allow you to define the SQL and later safely insert the data

https://www.baeldung.com/java-statement-preparedstatement

[tender shard]

you can basically just do statement.setString(int, String)

[eternal night]

And it will most likely solve your issue

Inserting JSON like this is bound to break SQL syntax

And gets you an error like this

[tender shard]

also, for debugging: print out your statement before executing it

[eternal night]

Also your last String.format call is missing the values to replace the placeholders with isn't it ?

[tender shard]

yep

[grizzled briar]

can we format text for item display names?

if so how do we do it?

using & doesn't work

[eternal night]

Use the chat colour enum

Item Display names can have colour

[grizzled briar]

[COLOR] ?

[tender shard]

ChatColor#translateAlternateColorCodes

[grizzled briar]

Oh

[grand flint]

ScoreboardTeam team = new ScoreboardTeam(
                ((CraftScoreboard)Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard()).getHandle(),player.getName());
        team.setNameTagVisibility(ScoreboardTeamBase.EnumNameTagVisibility.b);```
Why does .getMainScoreboard() give me an error, it says Method invocation 'getMainScoreboard' may produce 'NullPointerException

[grizzled briar]

thanks again

[eternal night]

setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "red Name")

[tender shard]

that's not an error, just a warning

[grand flint]

So it will work?

[eternal night]

may

[grand flint]

kk

Thank you

[tender shard]

getScoreboardManager is annoted with Nullable, meaning it MIGHT return null when the first world hasnt loaded yet: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Bukkit.html#getScoreboardManager()

[grand flint]

Oh alright

[tender shard]

as long as you're not using it in onLoad and your plugin.yml is set to load AFTER the worlds, it's totally fine

[grand flint]

Well the it runs after a player dies and a player can't die before the world loads right?

[tender shard]

yeah^^

[grand flint]

Method invocation 'setDisplayName' may produce 'NullPointerException'

What about this it is the same error right?

[eternal night]

ItemMeta may be null

[tender shard]

that's because getItemMeta() returns null when the itemstack is of type Material.AIR

[eternal night]

You'll have to actually null check these

^^

[tender shard]

I#d basically just check whether the material is air, and if it's not, getItemMeta will never be null

[eternal night]

Well you'll want to save the item meta in a variable anyway

So meh, can just go the 100% safe way

[grand flint]

The material is a potion

[tender shard]

every itemstack that's not AIR will always return an ItemMeta

[hybrid spoke]

but i would like to give air a custom name

[tender shard]

go create a PR, I'm sure md_5 will merge it lol

[eternal night]

Named air is the best

[young knoll]

Thankfully we have an encompassing isAir check

[tender shard]

yep buuuut

does CAVE_AIR return ItemMeta?

I'm not sure

[young knoll]

No

[tender shard]

kk

[quaint mantle]

i never had nullability warnings on item meta

[hybrid spoke]

its a setting in your IDE

maybe deactivated

[quaint mantle]

never really changed anything 🤷‍♀️

[hybrid spoke]

u coding in notepad?

[tender shard]

IntelliJ?

[quaint mantle]

intellij

i see

getItemMeta has no annotations

[tender shard]

Code -> Inspect Code -> Whole Project

[tender shard]

yes it does

[quaint mantle]

if he says no annotations that might be an issue 🙂

[tender shard]

or maybe you're on 1.8 and it wasn't added 7 years ago lol

[quaint mantle]

1.8 def doesn't have annotations here

[tender shard]

that might be true

[grand flint]

uh I just got minecraft windows 10 for free with the new microsoft launcher?

[quaint mantle]

cool

[grand flint]

is that a bug or?

[quaint mantle]

def not a spigot bug

[tender shard]

but MC 1.8 is like, older than Ubuntu 16.04

[quaint mantle]

Where's upload button on imgur mobile

also not a spigot issue

Paper has no annotation it seems

[quaint mantle]

||she|| btw

[karmic mural]

ayo gamers so I got this fun exception when trying to put Itemstacks into a hashmap:

Cannot invoke "java.util.Map.put(Object, Object)" because "this.items" is null

Code used to put the itemstack in items.put(itemname, this.name);

[tender shard]

items is null

[little trail]

oh no of course im not putting in json, thats just to show what id and uuid are, im not a maniac am i?

[tender shard]

you never created the hashmap as it seems

[karmic mural]

Yeah see that's what I thought I messed up on... but it's literally right there at the top of the class, unless you can tell me I did something wrong? :
public Map<String, ItemStack> items;

[eternal night]

No no, sorry for saying that. Still use prepared statements

[karmic mural]

I changed it from private to Public thinking it might help

[little trail]

i am

[tender shard]

you only declared the variable but never actually created a Map

[karmic mural]

Ah thank you

[tender shard]

public Map<String, ItemStack> items = new HashMap<>();

[eternal night]

Did that improve the situation 😅

[little trail]

i havent gotten it loaded yet

[karmic mural]

Yep gotcha, thank you 😄

[little trail]

as i had foodz

[tender shard]

np 😄

[little trail]

but yes i dont see any errors ty

[karmic mural]

Gorgeous, now I have the lovely ultra-spammed console on launching my server! 😅 I've got some console logging just to know things are happening the way I want

Oh interesting, it seems the map is wiped clean after each input... What am I doing wrong? Am I wrong assuming it's just like an array except it has defined keys instead of an index?

[tender shard]

a map basically does what it's named after: it maps one object to another

e.g. a -> 1, b -> 2, etc

so when you use the same key twice, the old value is gone

so yeah it's basically like an array that uses objects instead of numbers inside the [] part

[karmic mural]

That's the thing, it's always a new value because I am using a for-loop to create the itemstacks being sent in, so there's always new data used for that

[tender shard]

can you show your code?

[karmic mural]

Yeah I was gonna say I'm going to doublecheck, I'll send a paste if I can't find the issue

[tender shard]

oki

it's always helpful to print out the things you are storing before actually storing them

[karmic mural]

Yeah that's what I was doing earlier, would it be an issue if the name used has a space in it?

Like "Diamond ore" for the key

[tender shard]

no, that's no problem at all

a String is a regular object, like everything else

[west oxide]

hey, i am looking for volunteers / cheap dev service to help make a custom minemen.mc type practice plugin, i don't have a big budget but am willing to pay later if i ever do ...
||also i know that this kind of stuff is very hard and expensive at times but am just asking for help and you either help or not||

[tender shard]

the normal hashmap uses equals() so it doesn't matter that strings aren't the exact same object as your key

[tender shard]

DM me, but this isn't the right place to ask

at least not if you're looking for paid devs^^

[young knoll]

?services

[undone axle]

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

[west oxide]

oh mb

[karmic mural]

https://pastebin.com/yvFkUrJ3

If you refresh I added the console output

[tender shard]

lemme see

show the code where you are calling this class from

you create a new hashmap everytime you call that method

so of course it's empty all the time / only has one object

[karmic mural]

It's added to the pastebin.

[karmic mural]

Lmao what

[runic mesa]

I want to store the max value of my mobs max health in a double, how would i do that?

Getting the generic max health has it as an AttributeInstance

[tender shard]

Entity.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).get() or sth like that

[runic mesa]

I need to compare it to its current health

Thanks! Not exactly but it helped enough for me to get it!

[tender shard]

alright 😄 yeah I just wrote it by heart, but it's something like that

[tender shard]

everytime you call the method, you're overwriting allthestuff

instead you must add it to the existing hashmap

[karmic mural]

Allthestuff =/= names, though?

Should I have a map in the generator class that I save the items to?

[tender shard]

maybe upload it to github, it's hard to read code on pastebin if it's more than one class^^

[karmic mural]

Well hey that worked ngl

[tender shard]

okay perfect 😄

[karmic mural]

I put the items map in the class that calls that first bit of code and now putting it there works just fine

[tender shard]

nice

[karmic mural]

Still a little confused as to why it was clearing the map every time, I couldn't see a reason why but oh well

Oh wait I know now, thank you I was being silly 🙃 😅

Every time it calls the constructor it initializes a new instance of the class, right? and that's why the map would always be blank

[tender shard]

exactly

and also:

you did this:

        alltheshit = cconfig.getConfig().getConfigurationSection(checkthis).getValues(false);

so you always overwrite the existing map every time

[karmic mural]

Oh?

I'm not sure I see the correlation

since it's a different map, I mean

There's definitely a better way to do it, I just want the code to work as I'm presenting it tomorrow at noon as a proof of concept

[tender shard]

oh maybe I looked at the wrong variable then

anyway, you got it working now, sooo it's fine 😄

[karmic mural]

Indeed

I was originally hardcoding every single item which would've been stupid. I realized that quickly and since then was working on how to make it all work the way it does now

My last step is adding the mechanism that gives players the items, and with that map being public I actually can.

Quick question about that: Obviously I'll be using a listener on BlockBreakEvent, but how should I go about the blocks I want to listen for? Like would I just have an array with the blocks I want it to do something with OnBreak?

Say I have an If-statement or something that just checks (map.contains(blockbroken)

So If(map.Contains(BlockBroken) {excecute code}

[grand flint]

Hey I don't want to ask to be spoonfed but is there any resources that can help me make a timer that continues even after the server restarts, for example like a 2 day ban but if I restart it it still continues from where it was left off?

[eternal oxide]

you will have to save the time

[grand flint]

Ye how 😂

[karmic mural]

Are you making your own plugin to handle bans?

[eternal oxide]

you could just save the target time to your config and save

[grand flint]

No it's for something else but I may use it for bans as well

But won't it have to say so many to the config?

[karmic mural]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[hybrid spoke]

timestamps

[grand flint]

What if there is like 20 people banned

[eternal oxide]

well you only asked about a timer. You didn;t state how many

[karmic mural]

Just have it save to the config, UUID + Timestamp

[grand flint]

That makes no sense @eternal oxide

[karmic mural]

Save UUID + timestamp and whatever you want the length of the ban to be

[grand flint]

That would save it?

[hybrid spoke]

you need to save it somewhere so it persists a restart

[karmic mural]

`^

[tender shard]

yeah just get a YAML and save it there

[grand flint]

This https://yaml.org?

[hybrid spoke]

YAML wasn't made for data storage, a SQL, JSON or stuff would be better, even if there isn't really a difference

[karmic mural]

Like save the timestamp for when the ban was set to expire

JSON indeed

[grand flint]

I think SQL would be better because I want each player to have one

[karmic mural]

So if you want a 2 day ban just save the timestamp for when that would be.

[grand flint]

Oh like when it should be run?

Like it saves the time they will get unbanned instead of a timer

[karmic mural]

Yes

[grand flint]

That's useful thank you

[karmic mural]

It's much simpler in my mind at least

[tender shard]

well it was made to serialize and store data

[grizzled briar]

how can I pass the main class object to subclasses?

[tender shard]

YAML definitely is the easiest solution in this case IMHO

[grizzled briar]

I need it for registering events

[grand flint]

I never used YAML before

[tender shard]

provide "this" inside the new object's constructor

[grizzled briar]

thanks

[grand flint]

Also I need it to save respawn delays, this is like a hardcore server and my plugin makes it so they respawn after 24 hours

So I am guessing SQL would be good or JSON

[karmic mural]

If it's hardcore then just have it be a 24hr ban and they'll respawn by logging back in when it expires

[grand flint]

It's not a ban, a gamemode change

[hybrid spoke]

not wrong, but commonly used for configuration files.

[grand flint]

It changes them to spectator

[hybrid spoke]

anything other than YAML would be better here

[grand flint]

Then after 24 hours back to survival

[tender shard]

public class MyMainClass {
  private MyOtherClass otherClass;
  
  {
    otherClass = new MyOtherClass(this);
  }
}

public class MyOtherClass {
  private MyMainClass mainClass;

  public MyOtherClass(MyMainClass instance) {
    mainClass = instance;
  }
}

e.g. like this ^^

[eternal oxide]

if these are just simple timers to ban or prevent a player joining you don;t need any database. Store a time in the players PDC, then check it onJoin

[grand flint]

I am going to use SQL thank you guys

[grizzled briar]

thanks

[karmic mural]

ah, then same deal I would say. Have a timestamp saved for when they would respawn, and then wait for it to hit that point and execute the code you want

[tender shard]

however that makes it impossible to access the data when the player's not online

so: no way to unban players^^

[eternal oxide]

I was assuming he would not need the data outside of the player

[grand flint]

Any tutorial on how I check when the timestamp is finished

[karmic mural]

you'll have to account for offline players as well, I wouldn't know exactly how @grand flint

[eternal oxide]

not true. If you want to manually unban you flag the plaer as unbanned in your own data so his ban is wiped when he joins.

[karmic mural]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Scheduler_Programming

[grand flint]

I think I am going to add a timetamp to SQL, then I can check for offline players as well

[tender shard]

yeah but that would also have to be saved across restarts^^

[tardy delta]

Chat is awake

[grand flint]

Thank you guys, very helpfull all of you!

[tender shard]

check whether the current time is >= your timestamp

[hybrid spoke]

just check if the player trys to join

[grand flint]

Ye but that has to be run some how

[eternal oxide]

far less data to save as the number of unbans would be minimal, and you would only need to store teh players UUID

[grand flint]

They aren't banned though

[tender shard]

just check on join whether a player is banned

[hybrid spoke]

a, thought we are still at the ban thing

[grand flint]

I'm not making a ban system it was just an example

Sorry for the confusion

[tender shard]

yeah, as always there's 10 solutions and they all are correct^^ I would simply use a YAML file to store UUID: Timestamp

[tardy delta]

Anyways how does dependency injection works at An enum? Just a static singleton?

[grand flint]

It's a hardcore thing and if they die they are in spectator for 24 hours

[eternal oxide]

Stored in teh PDC there are no timers running. You simply check the PDC onJoin and remove it if expired

[grand flint]

But it's not on join!!

[tender shard]

if you need to access your main class from an enum, yes, I'd use a static getter method in the main class

[hybrid spoke]

xD

you shouldn't have mentioned the ban example

[eternal oxide]

if its a ban it would be onJoin

[grand flint]

Yes 🤦‍♂️

It's not a ban @eternal oxide

[tardy delta]

Yez i was thinking about that too

[tender shard]

maybe create a thread for your "not-ban" thing, the chat is getting quite spammed

[eternal oxide]

ok, so again you asked the wrong question 😦

[hybrid spoke]

not sure if they even join. more like login, or?

[karmic mural]

Well you still need to have something to check onJoin in case the player is offline when their timer runs out @grand flint

[grand flint]

No I gave an example

[eternal oxide]

and we were discussing yoru "example"

[karmic mural]

I have one last question, I want to have a BlockBreakEvent that checks multiple different types of blocks, what's the best way to go about that? Something like If(map.contains(block broken){execute code}

[hybrid spoke]

sounds like a loop to me

[karmic mural]

How do you mean?

Is the way I imagine good or is there a better/more effective way to do it?

[tender shard]

a map?

why a map?

more like a normal collection/list

a map is to store the relationship between two different objects

[karmic mural]

You have a point there chief

Yeah so just use a list and check if the block broken is part of it then?

[tender shard]

exactly

[karmic mural]

The more I think about it a map makes less and less sense 😅 Just been working with them so much it was stuck in my head still

[tender shard]

private final Collection<Material> blocks = Arrays.asList(new Material[] { Material.DIRT, Material.GRASS_BLOCK});
    
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
        if(blocks.contains(event.getBlock().getType())) {
            // Do stuff
        }
    }

basically something like this is what you're looking for, right?

[karmic mural]

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I am thinking of doing

I'm gonna joink that if you don't mind, just to keep it fresh for when I start working on it in the morning

[tender shard]

sorry I have no idea what joink means lol

I'm not native english^^

[karmic mural]

take/steal/borrow

[tender shard]

sure

[karmic mural]

Sort of a middle-ground between the twothree

(In my opinion)

[tender shard]

I sent it so you can use it 😄

[karmic mural]

hehe thanks

[torn shuttle]

so this is a weird and specific question, but
would the monitor priority for chunk load events still not have the chunk checking in as loaded since it outputs the outcome of the event and not the start of said event?

because it looks like if you check whether the chunk is loaded at monitor priority mc still reports the chunk as not loaded which has me second guessing monitor priority in general

[young knoll]

Priority just controls what order plugins receive the events

They are still all called at the same time

[torn shuttle]

I thought monitor was meant to be the exception of that

isn't that the point of monitor being unmodifiable?

[young knoll]

No

It isn't unmodifiable

Just discouraged

[torn shuttle]

it is unmodifiable

iirc you can't cancel it

or is that not the case

[young knoll]

Event is listened to purely for monitoring the outcome of an event.

No modifications to the event should be made under this priority

Key word is should

[torn shuttle]

oh

hm

I could've sworn monitor was meant to run AFTER the event

well

live and learn

[regal anchor]

Hey everyone, I use eclipse and have done "add to index", then commit & push but it has done nothing and this appeared next to my project's name

does anyone know what I should do ? thanks

[minor garnet]

I got into a problem, I would need to get a player's camera vector, but I have a method that transforms the player's camera position to another angle, but I add x to the player's pitch, in that I would need to get the vector again from the player's camera, and take this x, but pitch is different from the vector, how i could do that ? bad translator

[tender shard]

MONITOR isn't different from other priorities. you can still cancel events on monitor, but you shouldn't

technically it's the same as all other priorities

[tender shard]

are you sured you pushed it?

it looks like you only commited your changes but didn't actually push them

also use intellij instead 😛 SCNR

[plain scroll]

hey

i wanna get like "server info" sort of infomation what are some of the things i can use to get this?

things like ram usage, cpu usage or network stuff!

[west oxide]

hey

so i want to customize an existing plugin

is it better to start by decompiling an existing plugin that's decent

or

use source code from a not so good plugin that's open source ?

[hybrid spoke]

unpopular opinion: if they both are not good enough for you, make your own one,

[west oxide]

oh

actually makes sense

[hardy agate]

hello! How do I create a substring that grabs the text between two quotes?

Exameple:
/tellPlayer "Hello there, how are you?"
I would want to save the text Hello there, how are you? to a variable.
How do I do this? Thanks!

[paper viper]

are you going to include escaping?

[golden turret]

join all strings first
now you have 2 ways: regex and string#indexOf

regex:

private static final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\"(.+)\"");

//on the command method
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(yourJoinedString);
if (!matcher.find()) 
  return; // oh no :C

String whatYouWant = matcher.group(1);

String#indexOf:

//on the command method
String whatYouWant = joinedString.substring(joinedString.indexOf("\"") + 1, joinedString.lastIndexOf("\"") - 1);```

joining strings: String.join("delimiter here", args)

[plain scroll]

ok so i get this rn

how can i only get the IP

and not the other stuff lol

[golden turret]

getHostName?

or getHostAddress

[arctic moth]

ik this sounds dumb, but how do you make an unshaped recipe

[paper viper]

^

[paper viper]

ShapelessRecipe

[arctic moth]

thx

[golden turret]

^

[arctic moth]

lol

and use a list of items

[tender shard]

if you really want to get the 100% actual address, you'll have to do a network request, everything else can be falsified

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/RecipeUtils.java

that's my lib to parse recipes, you'll find some stuff about ShapelessRecipes there

[paper viper]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/afac2b7a63a627e2b590a9f872cb3f1443493c44/core/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/RecipeUtils.java#L57

use a map

🙂

[regal anchor]

you can split and get everything that's after the '/'

[tender shard]

why?

[paper viper]

Cause it's more concise and it's more readable compared to a large ass switch statement

[young knoll]

Not really that big

[paper viper]

Yeah its not that big

[tender shard]

and what should that map contain? Map<String,Function>?

[paper viper]

But still map is better

Yeah

[tender shard]

using reflection for a simple ass switch?

no thanks 😄 I think the current version is totally fine

[paper viper]

Reflection?

Wdym

[tender shard]

oh sorry reflection was the wrong word

in germany, reflection as in "Class.forName" and "Function" is the same word

[paper viper]

What

lmao

[tender shard]

anyway I don't see any problem with the current switch/case

[golden turret]

😎 👍

[paper viper]

Also I actually really don't like the idea of you turning this into an util class. I think its better for the user to actually extend a specific class rather than call an util method. But thats just how I think

For example, switch statements can be really bad for OOP sometimes especially with all those static calls and stuff

i cant explain it very well, but conclure has a better explanation

[tender shard]

I have about 10 plugins that use custom crafting recipes, so I can just do RecipeUtils.getRecipe(ConfigurationSection, NamespacedKey, ItemStack)

I don't see anything wrong with this approach

and it doesn't require anything from the main class so no idea why it should NOT be in a utility class

[arctic moth]

how do u make custom blocks? im mainly just trying to make a tnt that has a special explosion, while not altering the original tnt

[golden turret]

i tried to do it a time ago

[tender shard]

I'd apply a custom PDC tag to that item and then do whatever you want once it has been placed / interacted with

[golden turret]

but the best way to do is what @tender shard said

[hardy agate]

woudn't the String#indexOf return the same index for both arguements?

[vale ember]

Hey, I have question.

1. If I add support for 1_8_R3, than my plugin won't run on 1.8?

2. On GitHub repo of AnvilGUI plugin I found 1_14_4_R1 and 1_14_R1 versions, wtf?

[tender shard]

are you using ANY nms classes?

[paper viper]

It's not wrong, and you aren't wrong in that it can't be a utility method, but usually want to avoid switch statements when dealing with something like this. For example, you could convert your recipe statements into separate class with a Recipe parent class or smthing, and make users extend a specific class or something instead.

Anyways it's not a big deal at the end of the day

[vale ember]

That's matter?

[golden turret]

1: your plugin will only work at 1.8.8
2: yes

[arctic moth]

like make it place tnt with special tag and then check when that is ignited?

[tender shard]

the thing is that the class is supposed to read recipes from a config file

people could do something like

recipe:
  type: shapeless
  ...

I don't see a reason to split it up

[paper viper]

Thats even better. Make your parent class implement ConfigurationSerializable

and make subclasses add custom logic

[tender shard]

but yes, you're right, there's always at least 10 different solutions for everything

[hardy agate]

oh right nvm sorry 🙂

also, it says that the two arguments aren't ints

[tender shard]

yeah I could do that, but I don't see any advantage in doing it

[vale ember]

2. U mean that that's normal? On spigot page I didn't found such version.

[paper viper]

cause OOP (:

[golden turret]

almost that they are 1.14.4 and 1.14

[tender shard]

you only have to worry about the 1_8_R3 thing if you actually access stuff from net.minecraft.v1_8_R3

[young knoll]

I really need to write a system for config recipes

[hardy agate]

oh wait nvm, forget I said anything - thank you for your help!

[quasi patrol]

How do I make it so people without a certain permission cannot like view a command?

[tender shard]

sure, but I don't think that everything needs to be an object

[vale ember]

I want to create plugin that will run on 1.8-1.17.1

[paper viper]

well that isnt the point im tryna bring here lmao

[tender shard]

when you setup the permissions and commands properly in your plugin.yml, they cannot "see" the command

[paper viper]

you should turn stuff into objects if you can

[tender shard]

then just stick to the API and do not use any NMS methods and you're fine

[golden turret]

1: dont use nms
2: then create a module for each spigot version

[paper viper]

but obviously thats too general of a statement and varies greatly

[quasi patrol]

How do I do that though?

[tender shard]

yeah but, Spigot already provides different classes for different recipe types. I don't see a reason to create any additional wrapper

[vale ember]

In 1.8 no API for actionbar, npc

[paper viper]

Well, that's how API's technically work

sth like this

[paper viper]

You have the library proxy of what you are using, and also an abstraction

to make it simpler and add necessary methods

[vale ember]

But still wtf is 1_14_4_R1?

[tender shard]

yeah that doesn't seem to exist at all lol

[tender shard]

library proxy?

[paper viper]

Yeah lol

[mortal hare]

its probs an implementation of specific version of NMS

[paper viper]

Yeah

[tender shard]

sorry I don't understand what you mean with library proxy

my english isn't cursed but it's also not perfect 😄

[vale ember]

I found such thing here https://github.com/WesJD/AnvilGUI

[mortal hare]

Any ideas how to disable collision for packet entity

adding it to team and sending the packet back

wouldnt work since spawn living entity

doesnt generate uuid

only spawn player requires it

[paper viper]

For example, you have a proxy like as in the library part. Suppose your app uses a specific library or something. You want to separate the logic such that users can just refer to your methods instead of exposing the library you are using for the users. And usually we use abstraction in this case, and as we create more abstractions it essentially becomes "simpler" for the user.

[vale ember]

But on spigot page no such version

[mortal hare]

1.14.4

[tender shard]

I still don't completely understand what you're trying to tell me, but feel free to create a PR 😄

[paper viper]

Yea its a bit complex lol

[vale ember]

It's 1_14_R1

[paper viper]

im not the best at giving explanations

[tender shard]

no problem, maybe I'm also just a bit stupid lol 😄

[mortal hare]

maybe that's a mistake of the lib to name it like that. The name doesnt matter, the thing that matters is that its injected into the plugin

[vale ember]

Ok

[tender shard]

what exactly is your question again?

It's hard to keep track of three different conversations in the same channel lol

[mortal hare]

^

I would add it to the scoreboard team

[tender shard]

ah I see. But what's a packet entity? Did you create a custom entity that you do not want to have any collisions?

[mortal hare]

but how could i get the UUID

of the packet entity

its the entity spawned with Spawn Living Entity packet

its clientside entity

[tender shard]

it does not have a "real" UUID

[mortal hare]

that's the problem

[tender shard]

yeah

[mortal hare]

i cannot add it to team

[tender shard]

for the server the entity doesn't exist

[mortal hare]

if i don't know the uuid

its clientside but still has the collision

[tender shard]

okay so you want the client to believe that your fake entity belongs to their team, right?

there's probably some scoreboard packet you can use

[mortal hare]

that's the problem, in order to add entity to scoreboard you need to specify its UUID

not entityID

[tender shard]

yeah, the entityid

but your custom entity should have one

[mortal hare]

edited

sorry

[tender shard]

oh alr

[dry forum]

i have a bukkit runnable class with a runnable that repeats every minute but how can i activate that runnable so it runs forever?

[tender shard]

hm sorry I don't know then

[tender shard]

runTaskTimer

[dry forum]

??

[mortal hare]

how do holographics displays do this

[tender shard]

well you say it runs EVERY minute?

[mortal hare]

it spawns packet level armor stands right

[tender shard]

that would mean that it already runs "forever"

[dry forum]

yeah? i dont neeed to know how to make a runnable

i need to know how to start it/activate it

or is it already by default?

[tender shard]

by calling runTaskTimer on your custom runnable object

[dry forum]

what?

[tender shard]

show your code pls

[mortal hare]

new BukkitRunnable() {}.runTaskTimer() smth like this

[dry forum]

    public void run() {

        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, () -> Bukkit.broadcastMessage("test"), 0L, 80L);
    }
}``` i just need to know how to start this

[tender shard]

full code, the beginning is missing

[dry forum]

    
    private main plugin;
    public autochecker(main Main) {
        plugin = Main;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {

        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, () -> Bukkit.broadcastMessage("This message is shown immediately and then repeated every second"), 0L, 40L);
    }
}``` erm ok

[tender shard]

okay you can do this:

new autochecker().runTaskTimer(yourMainInstance, 20, 20);

that will run it every second

also btw pls use proper java naming schemes

it should be called AutoChecker instead of autochecker

also erm

why are you scheduling a task within your runnable

[dry forum]

in my main class or?

[tender shard]

I think you didn't understand what a runnable actually is

[dry forum]

what...

i know what it does

[tender shard]

no you don't

you are creating a runnable that will execute every second

[dry forum]

thats the point

[tender shard]

and every second it schedules another runnable that gets executed every 2 seconds

that's probably not what you want

you actually want to do this:

public class autochecker extends BukkitRunnable {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("This message is shown immediately and then repeated every second");
    }
}

and now you can just do this:

new autochecker().runTaskTimer(yourMainInstance, 20L, 20L);

[dry forum]

ah ok thanks ill try it

[tender shard]

and pls rename the class to AutoChecker

class names should be in UpperCamelCase instead of lowercaseallthetime

[dry forum]

from new autochecker().runTaskTimer(this, 20L, 20L); i get cannot be applied to '()'

[tender shard]

show the full error pls

also I edited the code, did you copy the most recent version?

[dry forum]

yeah

'autochecker(com.jere.sscore.main)' in 'com.jere.sscore.listeners.autochecker' cannot be applied to '()'

[tender shard]

remove the main instance from the constructor

you did something like "new autochecker(this)"

remove "this"

[dry forum]

same error

[tender shard]

show the full code pls

[dry forum]

new autochecker().runTaskTimer(20L, 20L);

[tender shard]

okay now show autochecker class pls

oh wait

wait

[tender shard]

before the first 20L, provide your main class instance

[lean gull]

does anyone know what's the best way to make personal worlds? like i want to have personal mines in my server and currently my idea is to have 500 worlds (the amount of player slots i have) and then when a player logs on, the plot would change to the default build, and then set the ores, and when they log off it will be set to air so then the next person can occupy that world slot. if anyone has a better idea please tell me though

[tender shard]

you'll have a very very bad time when trying to load 500 worlds

[dry forum]

u told me to remove it

[tender shard]

from the constructor, yes

[lean gull]

ok, so what do i do?

[dry forum]

ah

[tender shard]

from the runTaskTimer method, no

[lean gull]

there's another thing i can do which is to have everything in the same world but far away from each plot

[dry forum]

it works thanks 😄

[tender shard]

load a world whenever a player joins, maybe

[tender shard]

np

[lean gull]

wdym by load tho

[tender shard]

loading a world is quite heavy, I don't think it's a good way to have one world per player

well but if I would have to do it:

I would do Bukkit.createWorld whenever a player joins

and unload it when a player leaves

[lean gull]

i can do it all in the same world, it won't be much of a difference

[tender shard]

hmmm sooo

[lean gull]

i'm just looking for the best option

[tender shard]

what exactly are you trying to achieve?

[lean gull]

resource wise

[tender shard]

every player should have their own world, right?

[lean gull]

personal mines

[tender shard]

and they can TP to their mine using a command or sth similar, right?

[lean gull]

well they can't actually build anything in there, it's just like a build with an ore mine inside of it

[lean gull]

yes

[tender shard]

yeah then I'd do it as I said: create a world for the player when they join

buuut

I'm not sure whether creating a new world stalls the main thread

it probably does

[lean gull]

what's that mean

"stalls the main thread"

[tender shard]

it means: server lags for 10 seconds when creating a new world

[lean gull]

ah

[tender shard]

you do not want that to happen

[lean gull]

maybe i can have all 500 worlds at once, but like only load the chunks when a player is in a world for their world?

[tender shard]

you really, really, really do not want your server to load 500 worlds

trust me: you don't want that

[lean gull]

ok, so all in one world?

[tender shard]

are those mines restricted somehow? or are they really "endless" in terms of area?

if they are restricted in area: yes, just use one world for all players and have them stay in their designated area

[mortal hare]

OMG

IM SO DUMB

[lean gull]

ok

[mortal hare]

I literally made UUID.randomUUID()

in Spawn Living Entity packet

[lean gull]

is it bad if each plot is far away from another plot?

[mortal hare]

and wondering where i could get the UUID

[lean gull]

like let's say 1k blocks

[mortal hare]

LOL

[tender shard]

oh lol

well now you found it 😄

[tender shard]

no that doesn't really matter

BUUUUT

here's one thing:

when your players teleport to their mine, the server stops until the chunks are loaded

are you using paper?

[lean gull]

i think

[tender shard]

if yes: you can use PaperLib to load those chunks async and then teleport the player once the chunks have been loaded: https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib

[lean gull]

what's async?

[tender shard]

tbh you should know what server software you're using

async means: it loads the chunks WITHOUT having the main thread wait for them to load

sync = server stops until chunks are loaded

async = server continues to work meanwhile

[lean gull]

well i'm using localhost and for that i use paper, but i'm not 100% sure what my server does on my main server that is on a server hosting service

[tender shard]

you should check that

[lean gull]

kk 1 sec

[tender shard]

so as said: if your main server runs paper (or a fork like purpur, yatopia etc) you can use PaperLib and load the chunks async (= without stopping the "normal" game) and then teleport the player to their mine when the chunk loading is done

[lean gull]

can your server be on velocity or is that not a thing

[tender shard]

velocity is the proxy that connects your servers, like bungeecord

it doesn't have anything to do with the software that each server is running

[lean gull]

well from what i understand it's on a velocity proxy, and the server is on paper

[tender shard]

ok then you can safely use PaperLib (link is above)

[young knoll]

I mean you can use PaperLib either way

That is what it's for

[paper viper]

just shade

if you want

[tender shard]

https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib/blob/b9dda152c96cba5263ee2b9ef11cc8a24d56e150/src/main/java/io/papermc/lib/PaperLib.java#L75

[paper viper]

for spigot users

[tender shard]

you can use this method to teleport players to their mines in your custom world

[young knoll]

I believe you need to shade either way

[lean gull]

what's this mean? (and the one below it)

[tender shard]

okay lemme rephrase it

the normal server does 20 ticks per second

that means

every second, it checks 20 times whether players are getting damage, mining blocks, etc

[lean gull]

like a repeating command block?

[tender shard]

but when you load a new chunk, the server waits until the chunk has finished loading. so it might not get the full 20 ticks per second

that means: players experience lag

[lean gull]

ok

[tender shard]

paperlib however can avoid this

[lean gull]

so that's sync?

[tender shard]

normally, everything runs in sync on a normal MC server

just use this method: https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib/blob/b9dda152c96cba5263ee2b9ef11cc8a24d56e150/src/main/java/io/papermc/lib/PaperLib.java#L75 instead of using the regular Player.teleport

[crisp arch]

is there like a "on till soil" event? because I want something to happen when a hoe tills a block

[tender shard]

I don't think so, you probably have to use PlayerInteractEvent

[lean gull]

so what exactly is paperlib and what exactly is async?

[crisp arch]

hm... yes, i read a post on it, and im using that right now, but i cant seem to figure it out, how do i get the block before & after the event, but be able to cancel it all the same?

[tender shard]

PaperLib is a library that allows you to use features that are included in PaperMC, but not in normal Spigot

async means you can do stuff without stopping the main thread -> you can do stuff that would normally cause lag

(in very simply words)

[lavish hemlock]

And if PaperMC is not found (e.g. it's not the running server), it defaults to Spigot behaviour.

Ye?

[tender shard]

yes

exactly

if running on spigot, all those paperlib methods will do stuff like on normal spigot, e.g. causing lag^^

[tender shard]

you can do PlayerInteractEvent#getClickedBlock to get the block that was clicked

you can however NOT get the resulting block

[crisp arch]

so how do i know if the block was tilled

oof

[tender shard]

because the block has not changed when using this method inside the vent

[lean gull]

do i have to like check these and apply them?

[tender shard]

you can check whether the block is dirt/grass and whether the player had a hoe in their hand

[crisp arch]

should i setup a runnable that checks the block after a tick?

but i think that is a bit inconvenient

[tender shard]

you could do that, but maybe it would make more sense if you explain what exactly you're trying to achieve

[tender shard]

??

[crisp arch]

minecraft, but hoes are OP

[lean gull]

that's in the project structure > modules thing on intellij

[tender shard]

I still don't get it

[tender shard]

are you using maven?

[lean gull]

ye

[crisp arch]

when a player uses a hoe, they get overpowered stuff

[lean gull]

i used a yt tut

[crisp arch]

but i need to make sure that they aren't just rightclicking on non-tillable blocks with a hoe

[tender shard]

https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib/blob/b9dda152c96cba5263ee2b9ef11cc8a24d56e150/src/main/java/io/papermc/lib/PaperLib.java#L75

[crisp arch]

i need to make sure the block actually changed

[tender shard]

oh sorry wrong link

https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib#maven

@lean gull

[tender shard]

yeah then I'd schedule a runnable that runs 1 tick later

[lean gull]

what about the modules thing tho

[tender shard]

wdym?

[lean gull]

^^^

[tender shard]

ignore that. add the stuff from the link I sent to your pom.xml

then tell IntelliJ to reload the pom.xml and you can use PaperLib now

[crisp arch]

spigot should def add a hoe event

but thanks

[tender shard]

yeah but md_5 doesn't like most pull requests so people are very cautious in creating PRs 😄

btw

you can also just do this:

[lean gull]

ok done

[tender shard]

listen to PlayerInteractEvent on monitor

check if player is holding a hoe and if right-clicked block is dirt or grass

if event isn't cancelled -> the soil will be tilled

[lean gull]

how do i check if i did it correctly

[tender shard]

try to use PaperLib.teleportAsync

[lean gull]

doesn't suggest it, i'm guessing that's bad?

i'm also guessing the main class that extends javaplugin is not supposed to be gray

[tender shard]

pls send your whole pom.xml

[dry forum]

when u sent me that code

new autochecker().runTaskTimer(this, 60 * 20L, 5);
im pretty sure its only doing it one time then stopping

[tender shard]

no, it doesn't

it will run first time after one minute, and then 4 times per second after that

[dry forum]

im confused with the delay and period thing all i want it to do is run once wait 1 min then run again, but the code i sent runs once after 1 min then spams my chat

and ive tried looking at other forums and havent found anything

[young knoll]

Then use 0, 20 * 60L

[crisp arch]

hm... but there are other blocks that can be tilled

for example, coarse dirt

[dry forum]

when i used that it only ran once then not again'

[tender shard]

then check those too^^

[crisp arch]

what its ok, ill use the bukkit runnable thing

its easier lol

[tender shard]

then set both values to 20*60

[young knoll]

Where are you calling this

Because that does only spawn once

[tender shard]

yeah you're probably calling it in a runnable or some event

[quaint mantle]

anyone know of a good hub plugin which is compatible with a queue plugin?

[tender shard]

#help-server

[twilit wharf]

my command isnt being executed upon sending the command

I have like 20 other commands that work perfectly fine

[tender shard]

show your code pls

[twilit wharf]

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String s, String[] args) {
        System.out.println("VChest command triggered!");
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            System.out.println("Not Player Executing Command");
            return false;
        }

        if (args.length > 0) {
            int id = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
            if (VChest.exists((OfflinePlayer) sender, "" + id)) {
                VChest.getVChest((OfflinePlayer) sender, "" + id).show((HumanEntity) sender);

                System.out.println("Opened vChest");
            } else {
                create((OfflinePlayer) sender, id);
            }
        } else {
            if (VChest.exists((OfflinePlayer) sender, "1")) {
                VChest.getVChest((OfflinePlayer) sender, "1").show((HumanEntity) sender);
            } else {
                create((OfflinePlayer) sender, 1);
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

[tender shard]

what exactly is the problem?

[twilit wharf]

it doesnt run

[tender shard]

does it print this? System.out.println("VChest command triggered!");

[twilit wharf]

no, like in minecraft, it shows the auto fill /vchest but it doesnt do anything upon sending command

[tender shard]

you didn't properly register the CommandExecutor

can you show your onEnable()?

[twilit wharf]

getCommand("vchest").setExecutor(new CommandVChest());

[tender shard]

hm

[twilit wharf]

    vchest:
        description: Opens a target vChest
        usage: /<command> [player]

thats the plugin.yml

[tender shard]

okay stupid question, but are you sure that you actually properly restarted your server and are using the newest .jar file you compiled?

[twilit wharf]

yes

[tender shard]

(You'd be surprise how often this is the problem lol)

okay then I have no idea. It should work fine

is your plugin on github or sth?

[twilit wharf]

no, it is for a network

and the owner doesnt want the code shared

[tender shard]

well okay sorry but I can't help without seeing the full code. The stuff you sent looks fine

[twilit wharf]

I can try and upload the bare bones

idk

wait

goodness

[tender shard]

you can also DM the sources or sth if you don't wanna share it publicly or sth

[twilit wharf]

I know why

[tender shard]

oh

what is it?

[twilit wharf]

I made a thing that stops the cmd from being flooded with uneeded outputs

and it just filters it

[tender shard]

lol

[twilit wharf]

so it never makes it to the console

[tender shard]

okay so you got it working now?

[twilit wharf]

um, no

[tender shard]

hm

[twilit wharf]

it still doesnt run the code

but it makes it to the command

[tender shard]

as said, feel free to DM the source to me, otherwise I can't do much

[twilit wharf]

k

one sec

[prime reef]

what's the most efficient way to raycast in spigot?

I cannot avoid needing an absolute fuck ton of raycasts.

We've got stupidly good servers but I don't want to burden anyone running my stuff on smaller ones

granted, this is not a plugin for small servers

[tender shard]

maybe tell us what you're trying to achieve, it might help

[prime reef]

lots of hit detection.

for either blocks, entities, or both, I should add

[tender shard]

alright

[vestal dome]

I'll wait u guys finish

[tender shard]

do you already have any working code etc? @prime reef

[tender shard]

you can also just create a new thread if you have any questions

[vestal dome]

nah I'll wait..

no problem 🙂

[tender shard]

I probably cannot help with raycasting anyway, so just ask your questions pls 😄

no need to wait

[vestal dome]

how can I calculate how far a player is from the closest point of a world border?

[tender shard]

oh that probably requires some math lol

hm let me think for a few mins 😄

[vestal dome]

To some extent I know that..

[tender shard]

is your world border "centered"?

like, is the origin 0, 0?

[vestal dome]

may not be..

if I want to change it something just to add more stuff to the map

[tender shard]

hm alrighty

okay I'll just brainstorm a bit, it probably won't help you, but maybe it does

imagine a player is at X30 Z50

and the world border is set to X-100 to X100 and Z-100 to Z100

world borders are always square, right?

so basically you only have to get the difference in either the X or Z coordinate, right?

like when the player is at X30 and Z50, they are 50 blocks away from Z100

right?

[prime reef]

i want to say yes

[vestal dome]

hm

alr

ty

[tender shard]

did this actually help you? lol

[vestal dome]

yes

[tender shard]

okay awesome 🙂

let me know if you need more input 😄

[prime reef]

you can use a BoundingBox for the world border and just create a vector representing the difference between the player's location and the center of your world

the latter is just something like

player.getLocation().subtract(worldBoundingBox.getCenter()) or something

[vestal dome]

yeah

[prime reef]

a boundingbox is p much just a box

and then once you've got that vector, just uh

[tender shard]

there's also a distance(Location) and distanceSquared(Location) method

[prime reef]

boundingBox.intersects(vector)

wait no

boundingbox intersections...are wild

[tender shard]

but @prime reef what exactly is your question about raytracing? You just asked what's the "fastest" method, but of course we need a bit more input about what you're actually doing before being to tell whether that's good/bad etc 😄

[prime reef]

ah here we are

[tender shard]

of course every block/entity has it's own boundingbox, you probably already know that

[prime reef]

@vestal dome this might be what you want

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/util/BoundingBox.html#rayTrace(org.bukkit.util.Vector,org.bukkit.util.Vector,double)

you can use the player's location as the first parameter and the difference between their location + world center as the second

[prime reef]

well, what I was doing a while back was just...checking locations and incrementing them a very small amount

in a runnable, I mean, but that's not really efficient

[tender shard]

you can get System.nanoTime() when the command starts, then get it again when the command completes. and the difference between both values is the execution time in nanoseconds

[prime reef]

difference between System.currentTimeMillis() at the end and start of your code, respectively

you can use nano as well yeah

for more precision

[tender shard]

yeah the milliseconds isn't very preciese, it returns the same number even when more than one millisecond has... erm... "occured"(?) sorry I don't know the correct english word

[prime reef]

elapsed

[tender shard]

to measure exec time, always use nanotime, milliseconds isn't very precise

[prime reef]

but dw, occurred is close enough to know what you're getting at

[tender shard]

yep, exactly

[prime reef]

yeah I typically use milliseconds for ability cooldowns and status effect durations/tickrates since there's some wiggle room

and it's easier for end-users to configure ms in config

[tender shard]

yeah for cooldowns etc milliseconds is totally fine, but if you really want to measure execution time, use System.nanotime instead

[prime reef]

^ this p much

Actually I needed that just now for a school project so thanks LOL

[tender shard]

😄

[prime reef]

measuring realtime exec time of sorting algorithms and doing some boring proofs on asymptotic analysis

[tender shard]

did you see the youtube video that audio/visualizes sorting algos?

it's awesome lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg

last one is the best

it randomly shuffles an array until it's actually sorted lmao

but to get back to your raytracing thing @prime reef

You should ask in the spigot forum instead

I'm sure you'll get some proper replies from math experts there

this discord is more suited for some simple questions

raytracing is too complicated for most of the people around here, including me 😄

[vale cradle]

Hi, I've got a question, can you put custom text in the scoreboard below name?

[tender shard]

wdym "below" the name?

you could of course just add an additional line

with scoreboard you mean the thing on the right, NOT the normal tablist, right?

[vale cradle]

I mean below the name of the player

DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME

Apparently you can but I cannot manage to find the Spigot way to do it

[tender shard]

doesn't that do what you're lookking for?

[vale cradle]

you can get the score of the player, but if you want to modify it you can just use numbers

[tender shard]

hmm alright sorry I'm not very familiar with scoreboards, let's wait for someone else to answer

[prime reef]

was trying to dig this up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsSu0LQmhY8

[prime reef]

yeah spigot forum is...it's something.

the amount of snarky comments I've seen there while looking for references lmao

guess it's worth a shot since I have a forum account

[tender shard]

yeah sometimes only idiots (sorry) answer, but sometimes you really get people that know what they're talking about 😄

[prime reef]

time to flip the ol' coin

[prime reef]

making something similar to this for my algo class though, the rendering is fun but the sorting is not

anyway offtopic, mb

[tender shard]

np, we go offtoic all the time here lol

but yeah both raytracing and scoreboards are stuff I'm absolutely clueless about lol

@vale cradle I'm sure someone in the forum can help you with your question

[vale cradle]

nvm, it is done by using the objective's display name

[tender shard]

scoreboards is one of the things that are discussed there everyday

ooh so you already got it working?

awesome

[vale cradle]

no, I just figured out how it is supposed to work 😆

[young knoll]

Won't the numeric value still show with the DisplayName

[vale cradle]

yes

but still

[ivory sleet]

lookin blue :p

[vale cradle]

This is the most I can expect to do ig

[vale cradle]

I'm blue daba dee daba da

[tender shard]

what the

what language is that?

[ivory sleet]

kotlin probably

[tender shard]

return@handle?

doesn't look like kotlin

[ivory sleet]

thats completely valid kotlin lol

[vale cradle]

it is

[tender shard]

oh alright

I'll have to googlet what it means lol

I'm a kotlin noob

[ivory sleet]

its to resolve nested returns in nested functions

sort of

[vale cradle]

you can return to different scopes from kotlin

[tender shard]

aaaah it's like a label

[ivory sleet]

yuh

[vale cradle]

ya

[tender shard]

okay now I understand what it's doing^^

[vale cradle]

it is indeed a label

[tender shard]

like break <label>

oki

[lavish hemlock]

ye that's Kotlin

@ represents a scope/label

it's used by break, continue, return, this, and super afaik

e.g. to refer to a field outside of a receiver's scope, say, the enclosing class, you can do [e-mail]

as opposed to Java's EnclosingClass.this.myField (which is mainly only used when two interfaces have the same method)

[tender shard]

does anyone know how to register a String flag for worldguard?

I know how stateflags work but I couldn't find anything about string flags in WG's API docs

pls ping me when someone answers^^

[lavish hemlock]

no

:)

[valid solstice]

how to find the Location of the nearest diamond ore within n chunks around a certain player?

[quaint mantle]

Facebook Chad

[valid solstice]

yes

[quaint mantle]

well

i guess just check how many diamonds are there

then just put it in a SortedMap<Double, String> = new TreeMap<>();

the double would be you get the distancesquared from the player to the diamond

[young knoll]

Gonna have to iterate to find them

Not the fastest thing in the world

[quaint mantle]

welp

that was my previous way to find the nearest location to spawn the player

so uhhh

i can suggest that only lol

other plugins use some math and stuff

i just straight up waste 1 day and found the treemap

[young knoll]

I wonder how that X-ray plugin does it

[quaint mantle]

what does it do?

[young knoll]

I mean, it locates nearby ores and uses a debug feature to highlight them

Pretty cool

[quaint mantle]

Woah
heavy clap

hmm

highlight block

i saw that on the plugin named tweakin i think

about locates neary ores then they just maybe find it in the chunks players can see lel

[valid solstice]

so do i have to iterate through every block and check if it matches the finding block?

something like a linear search?

[rough jay]

I'm looking for a way to change a player's nametag (the text above the player head)

any idea how?

[quaint mantle]

look at tab plugin
✅

[rough jay]

?

what is tab plugin?

[quaint mantle]

https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB

https://www.mc-market.org/resources/20631/

wait do spigot allow mc-market here

[hardy agate]

what does this code mean?

public Varm(Main plugin) {
    this.plugin = plugin;
    plugin.getCommand("varm").setExecutor(this);
}

(The name of my plugin is varm)

[valid solstice]

its a constructor

[hardy agate]

ok

so I'm trying to run a function from another file

how

[hardy agate]

I thought this would have something to do with it

[valid solstice]

you can do that through a static method

[rough jay]

Dude constructors are basic Java knowledge

[valid solstice]

^

[rough jay]

Also plugin.getCommand().setExecutor() should be in a method called onEnable

[hardy agate]

it is

[valid solstice]

you should know this by now if you're working with spigot api

[hardy agate]

oh wait no it's not

[quaint mantle]

yeah, but if they use the constructor on enable then it still perform the same function

[rough jay]

well it isn't because from what you sent, it's in the constructor

[quaint mantle]

if i remember right

[young knoll]

Yeah you can do it in the constructor of the class

Technically

[quaint mantle]

yup

ig i remember it right :yay:

[mint briar]

How i can disable spigot Loaded library messages?

[sullen marlin]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/console-spam-fix.18410/ maybe?

It's sort of a security thing as it shows you what code is running on your server

[mint briar]

These messages

[young knoll]

Haven’t seen that before

Is that the new library loader

[sullen marlin]

yes

[sullen marlin]

you can't disable them from your plugin cause this

[mint briar]

oh, okay

[young knoll]

Just highjack the logger

[stable ice]

How is the lingering potion entity called?

[sullen marlin]

AreaEffectCloud or something

[stable ice]

O thanks!

AREA_EFFECT_CLOUD

[quaint mantle]

why the potion in bukkit is so scuffed?

[sullen marlin]

can you be more specific

[quaint mantle]

there is a potioneffecttype and its wrapper extends itself, then in potioneffecttype u guys put in the wrapper again

i think it would be a lock?

[sullen marlin]

clearly it's not a deadlock because it works; and I don't know

[quaint mantle]

someone really need to rework that...

lel

[sullen marlin]

why don't you?

[quaint mantle]

yes

but i still have no idea how this thing work

so until then i will just wait...

[quaint mantle]

but wait, is that the code from 7 years ago from bukkit?

i wonder how no one points out that that needs a rework lol

wolfy pro el crack

[young knoll]

They do

Quite often

[quaint mantle]

what? who do what?

[sullen marlin]

much easier to point out things than actually rework them

lot of the former, not much of the latter

[young knoll]

Point out that it needs a rework

[quaint mantle]

hmmm

[young knoll]

I’ll rewrite all of bukkit for $30 an hour
