no, you'll have to use another way

#

or simply move the file after saving it

You need to get the resource as a Stream and write this Stream into an FileOutputStream

stone sinew Nov 29, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

I use getResource() and Files.copy()
Ex; Files.copy(getResource("name"), <file>);

#

I use REPLACE_EXISTING

slim kernel Nov 29, 2021, 5:01 PM

So I wrote some code(code.java). But now I need this one more often so I did a method(codeButInMethod.java). But in this code I need to return if something specific happens. Thats no problem in the code.java. But if I call the removeEssence Method in the standardAbility Method how do I tell my standardAbility Method I want to return then?

lost matrix Could you try to explain your problem a bit more thoroughly or more abstract pls...

I have a Method1 (removeEssence) in a other Method2 (standardAbility). If something specific happens in Method1 a want to return in Method2

I hope thats better now

Really hard to explain

So... java public void generateResource(String filename, File file) { try(InputStream inp = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(filename)) { System.out.println("CanWrite: "+file.canWrite()); Files.copy(inp, file.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } Outputs: CanWrite: true yet still errors with java.nio.file.FileSystemException: .\authentication.yml: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

This is a example but if you wanted to return a Boolean you would in the inner method use return Boolean and when you call the inner method from the other method you would do an if statement

#

And do if Boolean from inner method is true return

If the input path is in a subfolder

The output will be too

tender shard Nov 29, 2021, 5:37 PM

yeah that's of course also possible

I also just noticed that from the source code lol

just do saveResource("resources/yourResource") and also put it into "resources" in your jar file

definitely the easiest solution 😄

Then when i try to retreive the pending task using its ID it throws me this exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 22857 out of bounds for length 0

And yes, the task is still running while i'm trying to retreive it.

i'm wondering how to set the data on itemmeta that these texturepack predicates need to apply textures on items

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

that is a plain percentage from 0 to 1 in regards to damage

tardy delta Nov 29, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

yea but i'm currently using a plugin which uses that number to apply the correct texture on it

#

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:16 PM

#

so what exactly is your issue here. As stated the predicates do not use custom model data but rather match the material being unbreakable and damaged

#

take the percentage and multiply it by the total damage the item can take

tardy delta Nov 29, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

if there is a way in the api to set client side textures on itemstacks?

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

no

#

there isn't

#

the resource packs is the one that has complete control over how items are rendered

#

(well if you don't count skulls I guess or other nbt reliant items such as banners)

tardy delta Nov 29, 2021, 8:18 PM

well working together with resource packs i mean

#

the api

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:18 PM

Well if you take the screenshot you posted

you could have diamond boots look like grim_boots by making them unbreakable and setting the durability to whatever number that is multiplied by the max durability

What’s not working to be more specific?

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:26 PM

#

validate that the config file is actually containing this (e.g. written to disk if you read from there etc)

#

you are calling the correct method

#

Are you setting that value during runtime ?

#

grabbing these section when before throwing in some map will fail

#

ah

#

hmm let me test it in a local setup

#

it should work

#

Is your yaml malformatted ?

proud basin What's the cause of the spacing here (javafx)? https://imgur.com/nHNZCon

eternal night Nov 29, 2021, 8:33 PM

#

well, idk my setup returns a memory section as expected :/

#

you are not writing the file to disk are you?

#

like you aren't calling saveDefaultConfig somewhere

#

ah

#

I mean, best guess would be to still throw your yaml into an online yaml parser (e.g. https://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/)

Hi! I am trying to move a custom client-side EntityPlayer to a certain location, while also accounting for the look rotations. This is all done in the same tick. I send three packets:

PlayServerRelEntityMove
PlayServerEntityHeadRotation
PlayServerEntityLook

For some reason when I add in the head rotation packet, the move packet just stops taking effect. Could it be that the head rotation and player movement can't be changed in the same tick? Or does anyone else have any possible insights on this? (I am using ProtocolLib and a packet wrapper, if someone has worked with NPCs using ProtocolLib, I'd really appreciate any help)

for example when someone runs /command then i want to store this text

store them where

karmic grove Nov 29, 2021, 10:49 PM

in a variable would be fine

how do i store the command input

buoyant viper Nov 29, 2021, 10:50 PM

the args[] in a CommandExecutor's onCommand is their arguments so

#

that stores what they put after?

buoyant viper Nov 29, 2021, 10:51 PM

yes

that is what the user put after the /command

eternal oxide Nov 29, 2021, 10:51 PM

#

Store? explain store

buoyant viper Nov 29, 2021, 10:51 PM

so "/command arg1 arg2 arg3"
args[] is { "arg1", "arg2", "arg3" }

u can use that to copy its values into another String array if thats where u need to store it

#

if ur just accessing it within its command execution then theres no need to store it anywhere, just use that array

The code related to moving an arrow is in EntityArrow void m(), the lower half of the method. If you are competent enough with math, you could run it...

eternal oxide Nov 30, 2021, 12:19 AM

You could easily apply a fixed velocity ```java
/**
* Pass a Projectile and a destination
* to set its direction and new velocity.
*
* @param projectile
* @param targetLoc
* @return
*/
public void setTarget(final Projectile projectile, final Location targetLoc) {

    final Vector velocityVector = targetLoc.toVector().subtract(projectile.getLocation().toVector());
    velocityVector.normalize().multiply(projectile.getVelocity().length());
    projectile.setVelocity(velocityVector);
}```

yeah but a fixed velocity is different to "not slowing down in water"

then saveDefaultConfig()

it will auto create yoru folder, you then only need create the playerdata one

I generally use the first method for folders and the second for files

File.separator is based on your operating system

tender shard btw instead of ```java new File(somePath + File.separator + "playerdata") ``` I'...

so if it does the same thing, why use it

peak granite so if it does the same thing, why use it

well I could say the same

why use the longer version when you can use the shorter form

Longer version is more intuitive for folders imo

#

You can also like

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 12:45 AM

just use what you like what more, it doesn't matter

echo basalt Nov 30, 2021, 12:45 AM

new File(dataFolder + File.separator + "some_generic_folder", "myfile.someextension");

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 12:46 AM

#

I just wanted to mention that File(path,fileName) exists too

#

    public File(File parent, String child) {
        if (child == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException();
        }
        if (parent != null) {
            if (parent.path.isEmpty()) {
                this.path = fs.resolve(fs.getDefaultParent(),
                                       fs.normalize(child));
            } else {
                this.path = fs.resolve(parent.path,
                                       fs.normalize(child));
            }
        } else {
            this.path = fs.normalize(child);
        }
        this.prefixLength = fs.prefixLength(this.path);
    }

#

so yeah it's basically not exactly the same

#

it first checks whether the parent folder exists

#

and it might behave a bit different with symlinks depending on OS and/or filesystem

#

which is why I think that File(File,String) MIGHT be safer but tbh it just doesn't matter

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:04 AM

#

quaint mantle fast type, but just wanna ask why?

just try this:

String a = "a";
String b = "ab".substr(0,1);
if(a==b) System.out.println("equals");

#

it probably won't print anything

#

although both a and b are "a"

#

well actually, also not 100% correct because the JVM caches strings

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

use try it editor for fast testing

#

https://www.w3schools.com/java/tryjava.asp?filename=demo_helloworld

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

but you shouldnt rely on string caching in the JVM

#

.equals checks whether two objects have the same "content"

#

== checks whether they are actually the exact same object

#

since strings are created everytime you type "something", it's everytime actually a new, not exactly the same object

paper viper Nov 30, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

For example

String a = "hi";
String b = "hi";

System.out.println(a.equals(b)): // this prints true
System.out.println(a == b); // this prints false

b = a; // now we are assigning the reference of a to b

System.out.println(a == b); // this prints true now

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:07 AM

== for objects

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:07 AM

quaint mantle == for objects

no

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

while we need to compare what inside the string

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

== to compare IDENTITY

#

.equals to compare CONTENT

#

e.g. I'd equals() to my twin brother but I woudln't == to my twin brother

i was in bed on 10pm and then stood up at midnight again

#

so basically I already was asleep

#

oh anyway, I have a question

#

imagine a cuboid like in worldguard, or like a BoundingBox

#

of course the BoundingBox has a contains(Vector) method that simply checks whether the vector is inside minX, minZ, maxX, maxZ etc

#

buuut

#

worldedit also has polygon regions

#

and I'm not sure on how to calculate whether something is inside of that

#

I basically have a class that has a list of vectors (we can ignore the height, so just X/Z) and now I need to know whether a given point is inside this polygon

#

does anyone have any idea?

let it do t pose

golden turret Nov 30, 2021, 1:26 AM

basically, if i hit an entity, it will move in the direction im looking with x force
then if the entity collides with a block, i would like to make it more realistic

golden turret Nov 30, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

golden turret how could i do that

basically this

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

is your entity a projectile? if not I believe that will be very hard to achieve

unreal quartz Nov 30, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

i suppose detect a collision with the bounding box of the entity and a block face and invert the velocity of the entity with the direction of the block face

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

yeah but it would probably require some scheduled tasks etc when not using projectiles right?

#

after all there's no "EntityHitSomethingEvent"

unreal quartz Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

i would imagine so

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

however for projectiles, there is

unreal quartz Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

you will need to check each tick whether the bounding box intersects the block

golden turret Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

tender shard after all there's no "EntityHitSomethingEvent"

im using the Entity.move from nms 😔

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

unreal quartz you will need to check each tick whether the bounding box intersects the block

yeah that was my idea too

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

golden turret im using the Entity.move from nms 😔

yeah so you don't have any events when not using projectiles and have to do the hit calculation yourself every tick

#

so basically

#

you apply the velocity to a certain vector

golden turret Nov 30, 2021, 1:30 AM

#

im not using projectiles

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:30 AM

#

then keep your entity in a running task timer

#

then check every tick whether it still got velocity above 0.01 or something

#

if not, cancel the task

#

if it's not cancelled and now interferes with something, calculate the new vector and velocity and apply it

#

if you're just wondering about how to get the rebound angle, there's many many examples you can google

#

but of course you'll have to do all the scheduling and hit detection yourself using the entities bounding box etc

but yeah sometimes people get upset when you don't understand their cursed english within 2 seconds and have replied 1 second ago

maybe md_5 should charge new users 5$ before being allowed in this channel

        YamlConfiguration myConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
        myConfig.set("player-name", player.getName());```

nothing was added in the config

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

save when?

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

oh

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

peak granite ``` YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file); YamlConfiguration ...

of course it was. it's inside your RAM.

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

the bukkit yaml system want you to save

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

to save it to disk, you also have to tell your plugin to save the file to disk

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

i dont know why dont they just set it directly into the file

#

and remove the save method

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

quaint mantle i dont know why dont they just set it directly into the file

bruh don't mock beginners

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

tender shard bruh don't mock beginners

no, im talking about bukkit config api, i dont mock anyone

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

file.save() or file.saveConfig doesn't work

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

no, of course not

#

you didn't understand basic java

#

let me explain

#

your "file" object simply represents a location/file on your hard disk

#

the actual CONTENT that you can manipulate is stored inside your YamlConfiguration object called "myConfig"

#

and that's the thing you want to save

#

sooo

paper viper Nov 30, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

Yeah, its not like all the data is stored in that single object 😂

#

imagine a 5 gigabyte file

#

that would be 5 gigs of memory

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

the save method is provided by YamlConfiguration (or, to be exact, by FileCOnfiguration, which YamlConfiguration extends

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

tender shard I regularly paste whole classes of my paid plugins, I really don't get why begin...

its not because i think people are going to steal it, calm the ego about your paid plugins - i'm only following the guidelines i've setup for my server and development, in regards that anything internal is staff information

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

so you'll have to call that one

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

myConfig.saveConfig(); ?

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

quaint mantle its not because i think people are going to steal it, calm the ego about your pa...

that's no problem at all, but why being so hostile?

#

I just asked for a bit of context

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

i'll share as much as i can without breaking the guidelines that i setup^

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

and you instantly went like "ugh do people even try to help here"

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

tender shard that's no problem at all, but why being so hostile?

i thought i shared the context already clearly

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

just imagine this

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

i guess not though

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

        PersistentDataContainer pdc = player.getPersistentDataContainer();
        if (pdc.has(Main.HAS_SEEN_MESSAGE_TAG, PersistentDataType.BYTE)) {
            pdc.remove(Main.HAS_SEEN_MESSAGE_TAG);
        }

#

Yo why doesn't this work?

#

no idea, you'd have to see the rest of the class

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

the thing about that is, i should have shared enough to potentially get an answer -- i thought i shared enough context

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

yeah and I asked for more and you went like "do you even try to help" instantly

#

let's just start over again and be friendly to each other, alrighty?

#

both you and me

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

works for me

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

myConfig.save(file); doesn't work as well

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

peak granite myConfig.save(file); doesn't work as well

partialrelate

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

so, did you get it fixed? because you said "nvm I think I found the problem"

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

peak granite myConfig.save(file); doesn't work as well

wdym? any error msg?

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

tender shard so, did you get it fixed? because you said "nvm I think I found the problem"

i thought i did but i think Eclipse was being fucky :U

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

o

#

wait

#

ok works now

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

so what i think i might do is just make a reload() method in UserInfo

#

that just calls save() and load() tbh

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

let me explain again and try to understand

#

you have your config loaded, then you change it on your HARD DRIVE although it was already loaded to RAM

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

i fixed it

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

and now you want the changes from your hard drive to your RAM, right?

#

then, you MUST NOT save the file before loading it again

#

otherwise you overwrite the changes you made on the hard disk

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

from FileZilla

#

i'm adding them via FileZilla

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

i had to put it in a catch

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

not my harddrive specifically, i dont save my server's information on this pc

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

basically: do not SAVE anything when it's just a RELOAD command

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

tender shard basically: do not SAVE anything when it's just a RELOAD command

just load() ?

#

or?

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

yeah, that doesn't matter. don't save when you want to load

#

yeah exactly

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

ahh

#

interesting

#

i'll try just load() then

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

yep

#

it's like.... you open a file in some program (minecraft)
then you change that file meanwhile in another program (your editor)
now you want minecraft to load the changes you did in the other program. that of course only works if you don't overwrite the changes made in your editor with what you already loaded in the beginning in minecraft^^

#

I hope you get what I'm trying to say

#

I'm not very good at explaining at 3am

mfnalex every time i want to edit the file, i would have to get it, then edit it, like editing a player's balance removing 500 i would have to get the value subtract by 500 thne set it again, then save the file?

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

peak granite mfnalex every time i want to edit the file, i would have to get it, then edit it...

no. after you saved it, of course you still have the file in memory

#

you don't have to save and load it everytime

#

you just load it on startup once, then keep your YamlConfiguration and use that, and on shutdown, you save it

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:58 AM

#

oh, thanks

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:58 AM

#

imagine saving/loading like taking something out of your backpack in RL

#

when you go to a lecture, you get your notebook out (loading it) and write stuff on it. maybe you also read something from it again. you only put it back into your backpack (saving) when the lesson ends and you go home

#

^^

peak granite Nov 30, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

great example

#

lol

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

you don't take it out and put it back for every sentence^^

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

didnt work @tender shard, tried just load()

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

hm yeah then you'd have to do so debugging etc, but as said I can't help you without seeing more of the code

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

i'll try the new UserInfo#reload() tbh

#

im sure it has to do with the static File and FileConfiguration 😳

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

you were the one with the flatfile config that contains all user infos in one file, right?

quaint mantle Nov 30, 2021, 2:01 AM

#

ye

young knoll Nov 30, 2021, 2:01 AM

Big brain

tender shard Nov 30, 2021, 2:01 AM

are you sure you always only have one instance of your UserInfo class?
