never heard of async with no other threads

even Java's API's for futures creates threads

unless you are confusing child threads with daemon ones o.O

[lost matrix]

When the chunk unloads then the entity object is invalidated.
You should usually not have hard references to game objects anyways.
If you want to tick it again when the chunk loads then you should save its
state in the ChunkUnloadEvent in its PDC and load it again in the ChunkLoadEvent.

[grim ice]

can do it for y

u can do it urself

cuz I can do it

and im not that good (not as good as most people here)

[thick tundra]

thanks! didnt know there where events for that!

[lost matrix]

Distributing work over multiple ticks is the more correct description of the word async than using threads is.
You can have code that uses threads that is not asynchronous. You can have asynchronous code that does not use threads.
Async is not interchangeable with parallel/multi threaded.

But tell me if you find other sources on that topic.

[grim ice]

does it use shared objects

to like interact with the main thread

[wet breach]

well technically true since the definition just means not occurring at the same time, however these days asynchronous in how most use it is generally synonymous with multithreading.

[lost matrix]

It literally just hacks worldedit tasks into smaller pieces and computes N of those over several ticks.

[sick ermine]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/buildtools-runtime-exception.546207/

Can you help me with this

[grim ice]

How does it perform things async but they happen in main thread

that doesnt make sense

[wet breach]

it does when you know the definition

[grim ice]

oh then im just stupid

[wet breach]

but as I also said, these days the definition of it is changing

[lost matrix]

In the broader sense yes. Especially in the spigot community. But i would still try to separate them just for the sake of exactitude.

[grim ice]

"You can have code that uses threads that is not asynchronous. You can have asynchronous code that does not use threads." How?

Oh right, u can use threads and the tasks happen at the same time

[lost matrix]

Think of data transmission with two devices on each end.
Each device has its own clock and the transmission of data does not have to happen in sync.
This makes the transmission async but not parallel.

[wet breach]

you can have two threads that are synchronized

[grim ice]

async is splitting tasks into several tasks

then performing seperately

with a time in between, that isnt too big or too small, so they do not lag the machine

is that correct

[sick ermine]

Help me

[grim ice]

but should be in milliseconds

[lost matrix]

No. But splitting tasks into several tasks then performing them seperately is async.

[wet breach]

yep better stated then what I was going to type

the time between the tasks isn't the relevant part

[grim ice]

thats what i said but removing the white space

[lost matrix]

No its not

[grim ice]

oh the time thing is wrong

[wet breach]

just as long as the tasks are not being done at the same time is what is relevant. AKA the definition of asynchronous is not occuring at the same time

[lost matrix]

Async does not mean that you split something into little tasks and compute them separately.
But splitting something into little tasks to compute them separately is an async action.
An apple is a fruit but not all fruits are apples.

[wet breach]

so yes, 7smile7 is technically correct

[grim ice]

private void a(){
//shit ton of code here
}
//into
private void b(){} private void c(){} private void d(){}
//then 
private void a(){
 b(); sleep(10) c(); sleep(10); d();
}```

imagine sleep thing is scheduling

and not pausing the whole thread

will it be what you mean

[wet breach]

or just use a loop that pauses for a bit of time before it goes through the loop again 🙂

would be the easier way to demonstrate that

[lost matrix]

1.8 is outdated and unsupported. If you have issues with that then you need to look in ancient forum posts from half a decade ago.

[grim ice]

for(int i = 0; i == 100; i++){
if(i == 33){
doTask();
}
if(i == 66){
doFirstTask();
}
if(i == 99){
doSecondTask();
}
}```

smth like this?

[wet breach]

probably need to use an older version of buildtools, or you need to update git and have too old of a version. going to be one of those things. I don't think it would be an issue of too new of a version of git though 🤔

[grim ice]

even if the difference is 1 millisecond?

[wet breach]

would technically meet the definition of not occurring at the same time, if the task completes in a millisecond

[heavy fulcrum]

ive been trying to make a so-what blank spigot plugin but doesnt ever seem to work. ive used Maven for the dependencies, pls help

[grim ice]

time to make a AsyncMethod class, with a run method, and a method to check if method is done

B)

[wet breach]

basically async is breaking up a task into smaller pieces to be done over a period of time

as long as the those small pieces are not done at the same time

[crimson terrace]

could you use your own threads instead of using the asynchronous tasks?

[lost matrix]

Show what you got so far 😄
Mainly your pom.xml and tell us how you build plugins.

[wet breach]

yes you can

[grim ice]

what is better, multithreading or async

[wet breach]

depends on the task

[lost matrix]

Sounds like a completable future with extra steps

[grim ice]

oh right that exists

[crimson terrace]

perfect

[grim ice]

so what i should do for max performance is to

make an async task

and only do the next task

if that task is .isDone()

if not then i have to wait

[lost matrix]

If you want to know how to split workloads and schedule them async i would recommend this thread 😄
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-on-workload-distribution-or-how-to-handle-heavy-splittable-tasks.409003/

[crimson terrace]

would thread.join() make the entire server wait for the thread?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[grim ice]

what the fuck bro

[crimson terrace]

crap

[lost matrix]

Joining will block the thread it is called on

[grim ice]

ur seriously a wikipedia

[wet breach]

well if you want performance, probably better off spinning up a separate thread for that asynchronous task

[lost matrix]

If you want to sync with the main thread then you should use the BukkitScheduler

[grim ice]

so for performance, multithreading combined with async

[wet breach]

probably better to sync to a method then the whole thread lol

but yeah scheduler is the better way on that one

[lost matrix]

Further down in this thread i talk about starting a new thread and then using the scheduler to get back on the main thread.
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-threading-for-beginners.523773/

[wet breach]

quite a few of us are quite knowledgeable in many areas 😛

[heavy fulcrum]

so im kind of a developer who doesnt have a pc to develop anything so heres my pom.xml -

[lost matrix]

In spigot very often using another thread is not possible. So if you do something that needs the main thread then
you need to find a way to do it async on the main thread.
Threads should mainly be used to access IO or compute something expensive.

[wet breach]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[wet breach]

use that link please to put it there

makes it easier to read

[heavy fulcrum]

ok!

[lost matrix]

What does that even mean? Do you write on your smart fridge?

[young knoll]

Don’t you

[wet breach]

I write on it all the time o.O

anyways what I was going to say in response to that is really all you need is a smart phone or tablet 😛

[wet breach]

gone are the days of needing a pc for programming XD

[minor garnet]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/741875863271899136/945067507990036480/unknown.png?width=702&height=558

[heavy fulcrum]

on android

[minor garnet]

some1 know why the armor stand is dont rotating to my direction?

[wet breach]

well they are not necessarily gone, just no longer a strict requirement

[young knoll]

Programming plugins without the ability to run the game sounds painful though

[lost matrix]

This is the alternative to joining.
You start a new task in the BukkitScheduler and the
runnable gets executed when the next tick starts and all runnables are ran.

[wet breach]

what a nice illustration you created

[heavy fulcrum]

i used to have a pc but it isnt in the shape to be used now. can be called d3ad pc

[crimson terrace]

fancy 🙂 thanks

[minor garnet]

why sometimes the thread is more big then others?

[lost matrix]

Because the tick time in spigot varies a lot. Sometimes a chunk gets loaded. Entities get spawned. Someone dies in a world and the world gets unloaded etc.
The tick time is quite volatile.

[minor garnet]

ah sure

but one doubt

a player can right-click, send a packet to the server that the player clicked on, but it will happen that it was made after 20ms, but if I get this packet in an async scheduler I make it make that packet more fast?

[heavy fulcrum]

is this ok?

[lost matrix]

Your phrasing is a bit odd. But yes packets are received parallel to the main thread. So you can listen for incoming packets at a frequency that is higher than
20 tps

[minor garnet]

I would need to use the lib protocol to be able to receive these packets, right?

[wet breach]

well seems 7smile7 has it handled from here so off to bed it is for me.

[lost matrix]

You can also inject your own packet handler into the netty pipeline. But protocollib is simpler.

[lost matrix]

Wait arent you german too?

[wet breach]

Lol, no

[lost matrix]

I thought so lol

[wet breach]

I am not even remotely close to having german in me either XD

[lost matrix]

XD

[minor garnet]

7smile7 have you know how i can fix that

i have asked u before

[wet breach]

my lineage is the French one sadly, but I live in the US. I just don't have the same sleep schedule as everyone else in the US 😛

[lost matrix]

Same for me here. When my semester break hits im all over the place. ^^
Well then good night i guess 👍

[wet breach]

also you are correct for most people they should use API's 😉

[lost matrix]

I would have to read the thread again. Not a big fan of tinkering with quaternions or euler angles.

[lusty portal]

Salut c'est ici que je peux mentionner des soucis avec spigot?

[lost matrix]

I think you should take a look at the rules again 😄

[minor garnet]

but the problem is not that entity and because when I spawn the entity does not move towards me, but continues to move the method of making the entity to me

but if i move it sharply it rotate, it's very strange

[lost matrix]

Also this is not for spigot related problems but only development support

If i understood you correctly

[lusty portal]

oh okay :/

on the site I don't know how to create a topic :/

[lost matrix]

What problem do you have? You can always ask in #help-server

[lusty portal]

ok

[heavy fulcrum]

pls help my plugin doesnt work its a blank one

[lost matrix]

How do you compile?

[wet breach]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-plugin-development/

[heavy fulcrum]

i compile using a maven command

also im coding on android

[river oracle]

what

[wet breach]

well your issue is going to be compiling obviously

android JDK isn't exactly the same as Java JDK

[heavy fulcrum]

ok

if u can look it up theres an ide on the google play store named CodeSnack

[lost matrix]

Ok so the first thing that jumps to my eye is your java version. You should use java 17 when developing spigot plugins.
What do you mean by "blank"

[heavy fulcrum]

so by blank i mean the plugin doesnt have any content, it just has the onEnable and onDisable

[river oracle]

plugin.yml?

[minor garnet]

@lost matrix https://youtu.be/9pamCIgnQxI

[heavy fulcrum]

plugin.yml

[minor garnet]

do you see the ''dir'' on action bar is changing but the armor stand dont rotate

just when i move ungly

[blazing scarab]

Intellij Mobile when

[river oracle]

so your coding on mobile? or is this a pc running the android operating system

[heavy fulcrum]

im coding on mobile...

[lost matrix]

Then rotate it right after spawning towards the nearest player? What exactly is the problem? 😄

[river oracle]

what... and your putting the plugin in a java server not a bedrock one right? Minecraft java is pc

[minor garnet]

no look

[heavy fulcrum]

yes im running the server on minehut

im kinda dumb

[minor garnet]

    private void makeLook(ArmorStand armor, Player player) {
        final Location loc = player.getLocation();
        final Location eloc = armor.getLocation();
        
        final Vector dif = getDirection(eloc, loc);
        dif.setY(0);
        armor.teleport(armor.getLocation().clone().setDirection(dif));
        player.spigot().sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, new TextComponent("§cDir: x - " + dif.getX() + " z - " + dif.getZ()));
    }```

if you see is calling this method everytime on a thread

[river oracle]

are you getting a specific error?

[minor garnet]

i just want when the entity spawn is alright rotate to player direction

[heavy fulcrum]

console keeps telling couldnt load <plugin name>

[minor garnet]

same if the player move slow

[heavy fulcrum]

hold on ill get a log file

[lost matrix]

I see...

[minor garnet]

if you want use the code

[heavy fulcrum]

this is the log file

[lost matrix]

Hm weird. What version are you on?
What do you do in the PlayerMoveEvent?

[river oracle]

org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml```

do you not know how to read errors?

[minor garnet]

1.12.2

[minor garnet]

nothing?

like i sayed im using a thread

[lost matrix]

invalid plugin.yml -> invalid CEN header (bad signature)
You need to fix that

[lost matrix]

Then why does it only rotate if the player moves? Makes no sense.

[heavy fulcrum]

i do, but i cant find any errors in the plugin.yml

[minor garnet]

is this i want know

[heavy fulcrum]

ok, how do i do that?

[lost matrix]

No idea. Never coded on android or even heard of your IDE ^^

[river oracle]

I'm so confused how you can code on mobile without going insane and wouldn't the slightest idea how to fix anything wrong sorry

[minor garnet]

        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() { 
                Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(player -> management.showInfo(player));
            }
        }, 0, 1L);```

other thing

[young knoll]

Ohboy

[wet breach]

if it is a hologram like they said in the beginning it will always rotate towards the player

[lost matrix]

If you want then you can shorten that to:

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, () -> Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(management::showInfo), 0, 1);

[minor garnet]

no boy

is a aremor stand

[wet breach]

ah well you said hologram in the beginning

[minor garnet]

ok ty

[wet breach]

anyways that is obviously my queue to leave now XD

[lost matrix]

This looks like it needs to be split in at least 3 methods

Anyways this is nothing someone could help you with. It is probably some oddity within your code or with the version you are using.
I cant find anything in your code that would cause this.

[minor garnet]

this sad

[lost matrix]

All you can do is debug. Everything.

[wet breach]

so if I read everything correctly, the issue is the armor stand is rotating?

if that is correct in my understanding, then the issue is going to be in the locations

player location is only ever updated when player moves

[lost matrix]

The issue is that it is not rotating instantly when it spawns but only if the player moves a bit

[wet breach]

sounds like a client side glitch

but also, players moving also cause updates to happen too

[lost matrix]

Newer versions have a method to assures that the entity is spawned with the right metadata right away. Not sure if 1.12 has that

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/RegionAccessor.html#spawn(org.bukkit.Location,java.lang.Class,boolean,org.bukkit.util.Consumer)

[minor garnet]

hm

[wet breach]

I don't think 1.12 does

in versions before 1.16 I recall that metadata packet is separate

[lost matrix]

Should still be a separate packet. But spigot only sends the metadata for spawned entities so one tick later.
With this method its sent right away

[minor garnet]

so what i can do

[lost matrix]

Debugging. I would start with calling makeLook a tick later.

[minor garnet]

a tick later using a syhnc run task later?

[lost matrix]

Sure. There is not really an alternative to running something a tick later ^^

[wet breach]

yeah debugging is going to be your best option here. I would even test with more the one client too

to rule out client causing it

[minor garnet]

if i use ''armorstand.setHeadPose''

using a vector with pitch and yaw

[grim ice]

the Runnable run method

how many times

will it run

[minor garnet]

what

[lost matrix]

Every tick.

[grim ice]

u didnt show how u did it

u prob would want to add that its running every tick, for no brains like me who got confused

[wet breach]

your math is incorrect btw

[lost matrix]

This thread would need some overhaul either way...

[minor garnet]

i cant understand so mutch words

[lost matrix]

Its kinda old and i wrote it about one year after i touched my first programming language

[minor garnet]

?

[grim ice]

and in here

[lost matrix]

We are talking about something else XD

[grim ice]

there is no constructor

[lost matrix]

@AllArgsConstructor annotation from lombok

[grim ice]

FUCK

II DIDNT SEE THAT

my bad

[wet breach]

the recommendation is that you add debug code to output to console data. Ideally output every step of the way from when the entity spawns, to when you update it and when player moves.

I have a feeling that either it is going to be a client side thing or it has to do with how you are using the locations

but hard to tell with limited view in terms of code though.

[grim ice]

and u didnt show how u used ur code

[minor garnet]

and if you use the setheadpose method

[grim ice]

I assume you did something similar to the "problem" here

but instead of world.get.....

[lost matrix]

Its more of a general proof of concept guide rather than code you could copy.

[grim ice]

you make a new object of the PlacableBlock

[wet breach]

most of us here well some of us who are knowledgeable generally don't spoonfeed and rather give proof of concepts as it forces you to learn it either way to make it work 😛

[grim ice]

then after the loop you make a Thread with the workloadthread class

[grim ice]

never wanted to copy it

just wanted to see how your own example works

[lost matrix]

Ah i see the confusion. Yes. Instead of setType() i created a placeable block (That is the part where i split the workload)
and add it to a queue. Good catch i should add that.

[grim ice]

Anyways its a really good guide

BTW, if you make a thread manually

and pass a runnable to it

it will run once, unless you change that

right?

[lost matrix]

No the workload thread is started a single time when the server starts and from then on it always runs.

[grim ice]

but how do you add loads to it

since you're gonna pass the runnable to your thread

[lost matrix]

You keep that instance of course. And then you just call addLoad(WorkLoad)

And it will get computed when the server has time for it.

[grim ice]

changing the instance of the runnable, will also change the thread that has been made out of the runnable???

[lost matrix]

Might be in the next tick. Might be in 3 seconds.

[grim ice]

you have the runnable in your main for example, then on ur enable u make the thread with the runnable, when u add the load with Main.getRunnable().addLoad(load); for example, u added it to that runnable, but the thread has received the runnable without the adding, since onEnable ran first?

Oh wait

[wild reef]

Hey so right now I am using the PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent to check for used commands by players. Is there a similar event which also has track of the console?

[grim ice]

do you not pass the object to ur thread

but instead use a scheduler

[wet breach]

if you create your own thread, the thread will exit once it is done with the code it executed. That is if there is no loop condition in the code, it will just run through it a single time.

[grim ice]

I wish you provided a github for it tbh

People will copy it for sure, but that's nothing of your worries, it's their problem that they won't progress, and on the other hand it will help people who didn't get it since 50% of the example is missing

[lost matrix]

Actually writing one at this instant

[vapid thorn]

is there a event that can be used to detect when a sculk sensor is triggered by chance?

[minor garnet]

i just giveup i dont know how fix that

other thing

how i set the entity nbt?

[lost matrix]

Arent they introduced in 1.19?

[vapid thorn]

1.18 has them and we do have a custom recipe to get them
edit: introed in 1.17

also, figured it out with BlockReceiveGameEvent

It was mostly for to make sure vanished staff didnt get picked up by the sculk sensors we had around xD

[minor garnet]

Is possible do that?

[vapid thorn]

This seems to do it, can check how they did it
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-8-x-1-18-x-v7-18-0-maven-single-class-nbt-editor-for-items-skulls-mobs-and-tile-entities.269621/

[grim ice]

@lost matrix u can use linear processing instead of looped processing too

right?

so u couldve spawned the particles with the first method, the one that waits 45ms between each session of computing

[minor garnet]

Pose:Head:[90f,0f,90] but doenst have that nbt

[quaint mantle]

Why would yoy want to ro that?

[hexed hatch]

Sculk sensors were in the 1.17 release

[vapid thorn]

same with bundles

[grim ice]

but the deque will eventually get empty so uhhh

ig i was wrong

but you can make a method to refill the deque

so in the run method just check if its empty and refill

its honestly confusing, i think ill wait until you finish the github

since there are some missing things

[minor garnet]

for change the entity head pose

I DONT WANT USE EULER ANGLE

[grim ice]

this part is so confusing

it was not explained at all

ive been on it for like 40 mins

i dont get it

[lost matrix]

Its a bit poorly written. Im working on a better version that makes more use of safeguard statements.

[grim ice]

okay

what i get from the code

is that there cant be more than 2 workloads rescheduled

[valid solstice]

how to make it only work on legs?

meta.addAttributeModifier(Attribute.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED, new AttributeModifier("extra_speed", 0.4, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_NUMBER));

this the current thing im doing to the meta of it

[vale ember]

AttributeModifier(UUID uuid, String name, double amount, AttributeModifier.Operation operation, EquipmentSlot slot)

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/attribute/AttributeModifier.html

[valid solstice]

tysm

[vale ember]

np

[sharp flare]

you can use random uuid for it if u want

[valid solstice]

how

[vale ember]

UUID.randomUUID()

[valid solstice]

oh thats it...

ok thank you!

[sharp flare]

that

[minor garnet]

Why do u want ask

I Just want do It because i cant change the headpose withiut use vrctora

[quaint mantle]

Why wouldnt just use vectors?

[cold field]

Guys I was wondering, does it exists a simpler way to ban a player instead of getting the ban list and updating it?

[maiden thicket]

some create their own ban handling system instead of using vanilla banning

[cold field]

-.-

[olive lance]

What are good uses of reflection besides sending a packet on multiple versions

[hexed hatch]

Good uses of reflection? That’s an oxymoron

[somber sequoia]

How could I make a player invincible to lava/fire damage without fire resistance, is there any event that is run when a player gets hit by fire tick? Or just something that makes a player fully invincible to any attack

[hexed hatch]

Entity damage event and cancel if it’s for a certain reason

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.html

[somber sequoia]

Thanks

[worldly ingot]

I mean it was a valid answer. What were you expecting? The way you described is literally how you add someone to the ban list lol. You get it, and add the player to it. You cannot get simpler than that.

It's still one line. Bukkit.getBanList(BanList.Type.NAME).addBan("name", "reason", null, "banner")

[quaint mantle]

hi choco ❤️

[opal juniper]

that one line could become, one line 😉 Bukkit.ban(uuid, "reason", null, "banner")

[vernal pier]

is there a way to add a single .class file into dependency? or do i have to make it to a jar first? (am using gradle)

[quaint mantle]

Wat

[opal juniper]

no

[maiden thicket]

he went to papers discord after xd

[vague swallow]

How can I make these items that are getting placed in your inventory if you click a red recipe?

[lost matrix]

Pretty sure this is client side.

[worldly ingot]

100% client side, yeah

[vague swallow]

okay

thanks

[tardy delta]

i want fruits

especially mango

lets eat it

[rough drift]

CommandSender#sendMessage(BaseComponent...) is deprecated, i found the one using Identity, however idk how to use it

[ivory sleet]

Pretty sure you can use Identity.nil() (iirc)

[rough drift]

yep

[red sedge]

why does Damageable#setDamage(damageableMaterial#getMaximumDurability() - 1) break the item

[tardy delta]

lmao got a tv to code on

thats what every programmer wants

[red sedge]

not really

[tardy delta]

😂

[red sedge]

you already break instantly in creative

also how tf is that even a function

block break event is called after the block is broken

i believe both

but you should still try it and see

[full forge]

how do I save a config file to the plugins/plugin directory, I'm using this.saveDefaultConfig() but the directory isn't appearing

[tardy delta]

lol

[misty current]

how can I put nbt in a tileblock in 1.18?

[red sedge]

hm?

[misty current]

let's say i have a chest

[red sedge]

im not sure if you can add custom data to them

[misty current]

and i wanna put some nbt tags into it

[spiral light]

use PDC not nbt

[misty current]

i am trying to use nbt because i wanna test a concept

hold on lem,me get the video

[red sedge]

what r u trying?

[misty current]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NxJWN7gGHI&t=428s if you go to 6:25 you can see how the hopper treats the spawner as a chest

it happens because the chest spawns on top of the spawner in world gen and so the spawner has the nbt of the chest

i want to try and replicate this behaviour

[spiral light]

but thats also easy to use with PDC

anyway, you can get the nms-Block via the World (CraftWorld->WorldServer->getTileEntityAt or smth)

[red sedge]

Max durability: 1561 Durability to Damage: 1560
Why does the item breaaakak?

i set the damage to 1560

the max durability is 1561

but item be gone

[misty current]

i got the block already, im just looking for the correct method to manipulate the tileentity compound

[misty current]

yes i could make some magic with it myself but i saw this vid and i wanted to see if i was able to replicate it using nms code

without making my own hopper ticking

[quaint mantle]

Hey there! Is there an event triggered when farmland turns into dirt by dehydration?

[misty current]

should be BlockPhysicsEvent

but pay attention because block trampling is not the only thing that calls it

[red sedge]

I have a custom durability system

and whenever the item gets to the breaking point

i just want to assign it a broken nbt instead of it actually breaking

so i need to prevent the breaking

I have this in place to make it set to 1

wrong one

((Damageable) meta).setDamage(itemStack.getType().getMaxDurability() - Math.max(1, durabilityToSet));

[hasty prawn]

Try 2 I guess

[quaint mantle]

I think I found something better 😛

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/MoistureChangeEvent.html

[misty current]

so anyone

[red sedge]

didnt work

[misty current]

are you sure it's the same thing? isnt this called when farmland becomes dry/wet

he wants to know when tilled soil becomes untilled

[hasty prawn]

What is durability to set

[quaint mantle]

Oh, this is not the same the thing?

[misty current]

soil can become dry and not untill for a while

[red sedge]

huh?

[misty current]

with moisture level i guess they mean the wet state of the block

[hasty prawn]

The variable, durabilityToSet

[tardy delta]

ye

[hasty prawn]

what is it equal to

[red sedge]

uh its set to Math.max(0, (int) (durability * itemStack.getType().getMaxDurability()))

and durability is customDurability / customMaxDurability

[tender shard]

you're casting it to int

won't that return 0 everytime?

5/7 = 0 if it's an int

[red sedge]

no

durability is a double

[tender shard]

well what else would it be

but

[red sedge]

so it gives a value in 0s

[tender shard]

oooh

I see

[red sedge]

i cast durability * itemStack.getType().getMaxDurability()) to int

so it would be like idk 1203 instead of 1203.000022

[tender shard]

yeah

[hasty prawn]

Well if durability is over 1, then the item is always gonna break

[red sedge]

yeah but why would it ever be over 1?

[hasty prawn]

wait wait

[red sedge]

Max durability: 1561 Durability to Damage: 1560

I set the damage to 1560

and it breaks

i dont see how any of this is related lol

[quaint mantle]

Hmm BlockPhysicsEvent is not called when a player jumps on a farmland block

[real palm]

So guys (and gals), once more I need advice.

better said related to the Scoreboard thingy.

I set with Team#addPlayer in a for(player all : bukkit.getonlineplayers()) each role in the tablist. so far so good, however the addPlayer(OfflinePlayer) is deprecated.
JavaDocs refering to addEntry(String) but what do I put there? Playername, UUID Trimmed or UUID Untrimmed?

[tender shard]

print out the result of your calculation

I am pretty sure you always set it to 0, as I said

[red sedge]

I dont...

Durability to Damage is the proof of that

[tardy delta]

the player name

Player#getName

[real palm]

ah, awesome

thanks, gotta try that out! :awe

right, cant use my emotes here 😒

[quaint mantle]

PlayerInteractEvent

Block physics is more when world physics makes something change rather than a direct player action

[quaint mantle]

Hi, How do I change the texture of a player head block to a custom head?

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/SkullMeta.html#setOwner(java.lang.String)

[tardy delta]

isnt PlayerInteractEvent associated with mouse clicks?

[lost matrix]

Depends. Do you want to use the texture of another player or a base64 encoded one?

[eternal oxide]

PIE is also when you walk onto a pressure plate

[lost matrix]

Trampling will also trigger that event with EquipmentSlot.FEET

[tardy delta]

ye and player activated redstone stuff but i dont know about that

alr

[quaint mantle]

base64 I guess since I'm using skins from Minecraft Heads and those don't have player names

[lost matrix]

Hm. Wasnt there a recent PR for a GameProfile abstraction?

PlayerProfile or something

[lost matrix]

Ah i see. If you are using the latest 1.18 version then ill have a really easy method for you.

[quaint mantle]

yes I am using 1.18

[lost matrix]

Alright one moment

[worldly ingot]

Doesn't support Base64 textures afaik

[quaint mantle]

Is it possible with Multiverse that all worlds that have ever been created are unloaded and not reloaded when the server is started and if so, how?

[young knoll]

It does if you decode the base64 into a url

[quaint mantle]

Can I just skip the base64 then? Minecraft Heads has direct url to the skin file

[young knoll]

yep

[quaint mantle]

How do I change the head texture then?

[young knoll]

PlayerProfile

[wooden fable]

Does Player#performCommand work with bungeecord commands? Or do i need to use Player#chat?

[lunar forge]

I got a question about the spigot 1.8 api, how could I check if a material id equals xx:xx for example. Because it returns an int, and I can't check this:
type.getId == xx:xx

[lost matrix]

Well looks like it really doesnt support bas64 textures.
Then ill just provide my util method:

  private static final Map<String, ItemStack> base64HeadCache = new Object2ObjectOpenHashMap<>();

  private static GameProfile createProfileWithTexture(final String base64Data) {
    final GameProfile gameProfile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);
    gameProfile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", base64Data));
    return gameProfile;
  }

  public static ItemStack produceHead(final GameProfile gameProfile) {
    final ItemStack newHead = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
    final SkullMeta headMeta = (SkullMeta) newHead.getItemMeta();
    final Field profileField;

    try {
      profileField = headMeta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");
      profileField.setAccessible(true);
      profileField.set(headMeta, gameProfile);
    } catch (final ReflectiveOperationException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    newHead.setItemMeta(headMeta);
    return newHead;
  }

  public static ItemStack getHeadFromBase64(final String name, final String base64Data) {
    return UtilItem.base64HeadCache.computeIfAbsent(name, pName -> UtilItem.produceHead(UtilItem.createProfileWithTexture(base64Data))).clone();
  }

[lost matrix]

1.8 support was dropped quite a while ago. If you have questions regarding that ancient version you are best of searching in forum posts from half a decade ago.

[lunar forge]

How could I do it in 1.12 then

[quaint mantle]

But doesn't that only affect items? I'm trying change the texture of a block in the world.

[brave sparrow]

What is xx:xx

[lunar forge]

Id and subid, for example: 162:13

[brave sparrow]

getId() == 162 && getData() == 13

Or something to that effect

[lunar forge]

alright thanks

[brave sparrow]

getId is gonna come from the material, getData is gonna come from the item or block

[lost matrix]

Thats also possible by using the Skull TileState:
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/Skull.html

The reflection should be the same i think.

[brave sparrow]

As multiple things use the same material and just distinguish by data

[lost matrix]

Yes

It is

[quaint mantle]

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means.

[brave sparrow]

You use the methods in that Javadoc to do what you wanted

[lost matrix]

Honestly the PlayerProfile should support applying signed textures and base64 encoded ones...

[young knoll]

It supports base64 if uou decode it

[brave sparrow]

Yeah it’s just a base64 encoding of the texture and cape URL and other associated info

Which is pretty much what’s inside player profile

[opal juniper]

There is a player profile api

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/profile/PlayerProfile.html

[young knoll]

And like I said, just decode the base64 or use the URL from minecraft-heads

[opal juniper]

ah i see

[brave sparrow]

It doesn’t look like you can set the signature for that though

[young knoll]

Maybe I should PR a method that takes a base64 string

[brave sparrow]

Which is unfortunate

[quaint mantle]

I don't really understand any of this.

Furthest I got on my own was finding a forum post that was using GameProfile and TileEntitySkull

[lost matrix]

Sounds like you got what you need then

[quaint mantle]

except that I can't use TileEntitySkull for some reason. Intellij just says that it "can't resolve symbol 'TileEntitySkull'"

[misty current]

you need to run buildtools for that probably

[lost matrix]

TileEntitySkull is a nms class. You shouldnt use that if you want to keep compatability.

[quaint mantle]

Well I also managed to find another forum post saying that "all nms packages unobfuscated net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.TileEntitySkull" but I have no idea what that means

[misty current]

that's probably 1.18

[wary harness]

what are this lines on player

[misty current]

some entity hitboxes

actually not hitboxes but raycasts (?)

[wary harness]

that is more then one

[misty current]

i thnk thats the name

[wary harness]

raycasts ?

what would that do

[misty current]

the direction in which the entities are looking

the player has one of those lines sticking out of its eyes

[lost matrix]

Try this and tell me if it works:

  public void changeHeadTexture(Block headBlock, URL textureURL) {
    PlayerProfile profile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(textureURL.toString());
    PlayerTextures textures = profile.getTextures();
    textures.setSkin(textureURL);
    profile.setTextures(textures);

    Skull skull = (Skull) headBlock.getState();
    skull.setOwnerProfile(profile);
    skull.update(true);
  }

[misty current]

anyways there are probably entities riding the player

[tardy delta]

origin realms 👀

[wary harness]

pst

don't tell any one

[tardy delta]

😳

[wary harness]

I am trying to figure out how they hide back pack in firstperson mode

so this could be the key

how it works

things is all other players have armorstands on the top of heads

but I don't have one

[tardy delta]

wdym would you see it in first person?

[wary harness]

so I try to recreate backpack

I got it working

but when u look at floor

in first person you can see back pack

[tardy delta]

oh

how do they even do it? armorstand?

[wary harness]

and it looks ugly

armorstand riding

[tardy delta]

never tried something liek that

[quaint mantle]

Everything about that is spitting errors and I don't know what I am supposed to do with it.

[lost matrix]

show em

[quaint mantle]

I mean, I don't even know how to insert the skin url in there

[misty current]

make it marker

as i had told you

ArmorStand#setMarker()

[tardy delta]

does anyone knows how to prevent a file from being deleted in the file explorer or smth related?

[lost matrix]

Hm? Do you not know where you would get a URL for your texture? Or do you not know how what a URL is? Or do you
not know how to "convert" a String to a URL. More info pls.

[tardy delta]

i looked it up but couldnt find really useful things

[quaint mantle]

I mean, I understand that I am supposed to put the URL somewhere on this line: public void changeHeadTexture(Block headBlock, URL textureURL) but not how. do I just replace the URL with it?

[lost matrix]

Thats a method. I think you should take a step back and

?learnjava

[undone axle]

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.

[lost matrix]

At least the basics

[quaint mantle]

I know the basics, it's just that I have always struggled with writing code without concrete examples

[lost matrix]

I mean you cant really do anything besides keeping a file handle open.

[misty current]

do you mean using the securitymanager

[lost matrix]

The procedure here is:

1. Copy paste the method
2. If your IDE doesnt find any errors -> just call the method where you need it

[tardy delta]

what i'm trying to do is to prevent a db file being delete on runtime

[brave sparrow]

Nobody should be deleting a db at runtime

[lost matrix]

Who is deleting the file?

[brave sparrow]

There’s only so much you can do about user stupidity

[tardy delta]

stupid users

[brave sparrow]

I wouldn’t worry about it

That’s not exactly something they can do by accident

[lost matrix]

rename it "dont-delete-me-you-moron.db"

What are you trying to do? Multiple lines above a user?

[misty current]

if someone has full access to the database you can't provide any way to block them from using it entirely

[lost matrix]

You can simply change the name above a players head without using armor stands

[quaint mantle]

I don't know the terms, but for example my first roadblock was not figuring out that in getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this); you are not supposed to write ``listener:this, plugin:this`

[turbid shoal]

yo i need help

can you tell me what to do

[misty current]

try it

[tardy delta]

thats literally copying a tutorial lol

[misty current]

if i told you to use marker theres a reason

else than the fact that a non marker one would partially block incoming hits

[quaint mantle]

yes, because I don't understand how to properly write code without seeing a functioning example. tutorials are useless to me.

[tardy delta]

i dont even know a lot of youtubers that write good code

[misty current]

that's a clear sign that tells you you should not be using spigot's api

[turbid shoal]

PLEASE GHELP

i need a 3x3 square of DIFFERENT random slection of these blocks;
Material.DIRT, Material.STONE, Material.COBBLESTONE, Material.LOG, Material.WOOD, Material.BRICK, Material.GOLD_BLOCK, Material.NETHERRACK, Material.ENDER_STONE

everything i have tried doesnt work. whether there are repeating blocks or it just does all the same blocks. PLEASE YO NECESITO AYUDAR

[quaint mantle]

Well how am I supposed to learn then? I don't learn from tutorials because I just can't seem to understand them.

[misty current]

spigot's api is not the sole and only purpose of java

[lost matrix]

1. Create an array of all the types
2. Write 3 nested for loops for x, y and z
3. For every iteration select a random type from the array and set it to the location

[tardy delta]

just make some java project

[eternal oxide]

You need Java tutorials not Spigot tutorials

[brave sparrow]

^

[tardy delta]

and after a while look again at it and try to figure out what you could do better

[brave sparrow]

Spigot tutorials are assuming a baseline understanding of Java prior to even beginning

[quaint mantle]

Yeah that's how I write Java as well, I find functioning snippets and adapt them. I just can't seem to understand syntax without seeing an example.

[turbid shoal]

watch kody simpson to learn basics

he epic

[brave sparrow]

If you don’t understand the syntax yet then it’s too early to be writing spigot plugins, is what we’re saying

[misty current]

doesn't the fact that you extend JavaPlugin in your main class tell you that you are not ready to use spigot's api if you don't know what does it do

why do you use the api if you don't understand what you are coding

[quaint mantle]

Because I wanted to make a plugin.

[turbid shoal]

yes but then there are repeating blocks? they all need to be different

[lost matrix]

Oh so you need each block to be unique?

[turbid shoal]

yes

[misty current]

it won't make you better but it will make you someone who can kind of understand easy spigot's api code but with fundamental lack of skill, oop and syntax knowledge

[lost matrix]

Then make an array. Shuffle it. And just increment an index from 0 to 8

[quaint mantle]

For now I am completely fine with that. I just wanted to make a quick simple plugin.

[turbid shoal]

how do you shuffle an array ive never done that

array.shuffle or smthn

[misty current]

go ahead then but using an advanced java library as spigot's api is not a good way to learn java

iirc Collections has a shuffle method

[lost matrix]

Hm. I only know Collections.shuffle to be honest.

[brave sparrow]

You can use that, or you can shuffle it manually

[turbid shoal]

?

how shuffle manually

[misty current]

you can just call it and pass an array

create an array

[turbid shoal]

can someone write me an example?

[misty current]

call Collections.shuffle(myarray)

boom u have shuffled array

also google is your friend

[turbid shoal]

naw

i use bing

😏

[brave sparrow]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/1520212

[waxen plinth]

Collections.shuffle(Arrays.asList(array))

[quaint mantle]

I have figured out everything else I need for my plugin so far, despite not understanding what I am doing.

[misty current]

i'm pretty sure the shuffle method does not return anything so if you don't store a reference to the array it's an useless call

[waxen plinth]

Not true

Collections.shuffle mutates the list you give it in order to shuffle

[young knoll]

It mutates the input collection

[waxen plinth]

Arrays.asList wraps the array in a list

[misty current]

oh right it's not List.of

[waxen plinth]

Calls to the list will modify the array

[misty current]

my brain kind of translated it as calling the arraylist constructor

[tardy delta]

isnt Arrays.asList immutable in some way?

[misty current]

that's List.of

array.aslist returns a mutable list that refers to the original array

[lost matrix]

It does not allow add() iirc

[misty current]

you can change elements but not extend/reduce the size

[lost matrix]

"mutable array" lul

[misty current]

well half mutable

i meant it's not like list.of

[tardy delta]

ah shuffle only needs the iterator and the underlying array

[brave sparrow]

It doesn’t return an array at all

Lol

[misty current]

that returns a completely immutable list

[brave sparrow]

Mutable or otherwise

[misty current]

oh yes, edited it

meant to write list there

[brave sparrow]

why

[turbid shoal]

how would i change every block in the 3x3 area without just setting every block induvidually

i can

i just done want to

[brave sparrow]

I don’t think you can

[turbid shoal]

naw

there has to be a way

[paper viper]

uh no

[lost matrix]

Why should there be a way for that? How would you even define such a method? With a 3 dimensional array of Materials?

[turbid shoal]

but with like a for loop

[paper viper]

bruh

[turbid shoal]

idk

[tardy delta]

is this java8+ or something?

[paper viper]

you use a loop to set each block individually

lmao

[paper viper]

never knew that existed damn

[tardy delta]

ah wait

[paper viper]

but it seems to be package visibility

[paper viper]

Yea

[brave sparrow]

@turbid shoal minecraft doesn’t expose an array of blocks for you to modify lol

You set them inside your for loop but you still have to set each block

[turbid shoal]

could i do ti with worldedit api?

[paper viper]

...

[brave sparrow]

WorldEdit also sets them one at a time

[paper viper]

it still sets each block individually

[turbid shoal]

wtf

thats dumb

[brave sparrow]

It’s the only way to do it

[turbid shoal]

i have to do like 81 blocks

[paper viper]

no, you are dumb

Lol

That's not how stuff works

[turbid shoal]

im not the biggest java expert

[brave sparrow]

for (yada yada yada)
{
b.setType(yada);
}

[lost matrix]

    Block middle = ...;
    int radius = 3;
    
    for (int x = -radius; x <= radius; x++) {
      for (int y = -radius; y <= radius; y++) {
        for (int z = -radius; z <= radius; z++) {
          Block relative = middle.getRelative(x, y, z);
          relative.setType(Material.GOLD_BLOCK);
        }
      }
    }

Thats literally it

[tardy delta]

yada yada yada

thats the spiwit

[brave sparrow]

Lol

[turbid shoal]

but how would i change the location for the loop

it would set the same location right?

[paper viper]

?

[tardy delta]

Block middle = ...;

[paper viper]

wdym

[turbid shoal]

like i have 81 different locations that i need to set

[paper viper]

are they related?

[turbid shoal]

9 different 3x3 areas

[paper viper]

in any way

[tardy delta]

then loop over that locations?

[paper viper]

Yeah lol

Loop through 9 locations

[turbid shoal]

how do i cahgne the location in the loop thoguh

[paper viper]

its called a data structure

[turbid shoal]

im stupid

explain

[waxen plinth]

Iterate

[paper viper]

just create an array, set, list, or whatever of the locations

[lost matrix]

You probably have a collection of those locations somewhere, right?

[paper viper]

then iterate through them

[lost matrix]

^

[turbid shoal]

OH

yeah

ok

im

rretad'ded

[tardy delta]

javas variable name choice is pretty neat

[waxen plinth]

Block center;
for (int x = -1; x <= 1; x++) {
  for (int y = -1; y <= 1; y++) {
    for (int z = -1; z <= 1; z++) {
      center.getRelative(x, y, z).setType(Material.STONE);
    }
  }
}```

[turbid shoal]

thx

[paper viper]

where's that from

lmao

[waxen plinth]

But 3d for loops are pretty tedious to write

You should write a helper method or something

[tardy delta]

the Arrays class

[waxen plinth]

I've got it like this

CuboidRegion.cubeRadius(center, 1).forEachBlock(b -> b.setType(Material.STONE));```

[turbid shoal]

is that worldedit api?

[tardy delta]

smh

[turbid shoal]

im dumb

[paper viper]

^

bruh

[turbid shoal]

i am just statityngr

g

f

f

thx

[waxen plinth]

No it's my own library

[turbid shoal]

i think im good

[waxen plinth]

But you can pretty easily write your own helper method like that

Especially if you learn about lambdas

[turbid shoal]

i dont even know hat that is

[waxen plinth]

Okay then start simple

[turbid shoal]

i think i got it to work

[lost matrix]

Reminds me when i first learned about streams. I found them so cool that i literally did stuff like this

    IntStream.rangeClosed(-radius, radius)
            .forEach(x -> IntStream.rangeClosed(-radius, radius)
                    .forEach(y -> IntStream.rangeClosed(-radius, radius)
                            .forEach(z -> middle.getRelative(x, y, z).setType(Material.GOLD_BLOCK))));

[tardy delta]

that looks so ugly lol

[paper viper]

oh no

lol

[tardy delta]

could be me tho 😌

[waxen plinth]

    public List<Block> getInRadius(Block center, int radius) {
        List<Block> blocks = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int x = -radius; x <= radius; x++) {
            for (int y = -radius; y <= radius; y++) {
                for (int z = -radius; z <= radius; z++) {
                    blocks.add(center.getRelative(x, y, z));
                }
            }
        }
        return blocks;
    }```

You can do something like this

[visual tide]

is that for a sphere or

[waxen plinth]

Then do

List<Block> blocks = getInRadius(center, 3);
for (Block block : blocks) {
  block.setType(Material.STONE);
}```

Much cleaner than doing a 3d for loop every time

[turbid shoal]

true

ok this is very stupid question
but hwo do you reference a specifc array thing within .setType();

[waxen plinth]

What

[tardy delta]

List#forEach kekw

[turbid shoal]

like

[tardy delta]

😂

[waxen plinth]

Yeah but they don't know about lambdas

So I'm avoiding that

[paper viper]

ok you need to at least learn how to use loops

Lol

[waxen plinth]

If you have a Block[] blocks

[paper viper]

second part

[waxen plinth]

You could do blocks[0].setType(Material.STONE)

[turbid shoal]

no

thats not what im askyingh

[opal juniper]

naw. i prefer the old fashioned for 😌

[paper viper]

for (Block b : blocks) {

}

this?

[tardy delta]

ew

[turbid shoal]

like loc1.getBlock().setType(Array[1]);

[tardy delta]

only things is that it requires final or effective final variables 🥺

[turbid shoal]

what do i put ion Array[1]

becuase its giving error

[paper viper]

what error?

[waxen plinth]

Do you have an array called Array

[paper viper]

can u show code too

[waxen plinth]

Because if so please don't do that

[opal juniper]

just use an array kek

[waxen plinth]

Yeah show us more code please

[turbid shoal]

its spread out

meh colorizing strings and sending them around

[paper viper]

not an excuse

[delicate lynx]

post the line that is throwing the error

[tardy delta]

kekw

[arctic moth]

no but im not doing the line that makes it error

anywhere in the functin

[turbid shoal]

k thx

[lost matrix]

you have a variable named "result" which is null. Go figure out why.

[tardy delta]

?paste the code

[undone axle]

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

[waxen plinth]

Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack.getType()" because "result" is null

[tardy delta]

or just figure it out kekw

[arctic moth]

except i dont

[waxen plinth]

at org.bukkit.inventory.ShapedRecipe.<init>(ShapedRecipe.java:46)

You're passing null to this constructor

[arctic moth]

https://paste.md-5.net/egohivimap.java is the function

[lost matrix]

this

[arctic moth]

oh

[waxen plinth]

ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(locatorcompasskey, locatorcompass);

Which one of these is the result

Whichever it is, it's null

[arctic moth]

result for what

[waxen plinth]

The recipe

[lost matrix]

wdym. The result of your recipe...

[arctic moth]

oh

locatorcompass

[delicate lynx]

I don't see it being defined anywhere here

[arctic moth]

its defined earlier

[tardy delta]

where are locatorcompasskey and locatorcompass coming from?

[arctic moth]

public static ItemStack locatorcompass;

public static final NamespacedKey locatorcompasskey = new NamespacedKey(Main.plugin, "locatorcompass");

[delicate lynx]

that is not being defined

[waxen plinth]

Well there's your issue

locatorcompass is null

[tardy delta]

did you initialize the itemstack?

prob not

[arctic moth]

but it gets defined in the function

[waxen plinth]

BELOW where you create the recipe

[arctic moth]

oh

i forgor

[tardy delta]

ItemStack lc = new ItemStack(Material.COMPASS);

[arctic moth]

to change the variable that it sets to

my bad

xD

[waxen plinth]

Man this is a mess

You have 3x locatorcompass

[arctic moth]

ik

[waxen plinth]

locatorcompass, locatorcompass2, locatorcompass3

[delicate lynx]

why not name it the correct tiers

[arctic moth]

some asshole wanted it like that

[waxen plinth]

You never actually set the locatorcompass variable

[arctic moth]

locatorcompass = lc;

lol

i just put the wrong variable

🤦‍♂️

even a timer lol

dont spam

[waxen plinth]

Quit fucking spamming holy shit

[brave sparrow]

For the last time

[delicate lynx]

now you are spamming and looking even worse

[turbid shoal]

it is

[brave sparrow]

You cannot modify the world state in minecraft off the main thread

[waxen plinth]

Are you trying to delay something to run later

If so just use

[tardy delta]

youre just learning stuff it doesnt matter, just try to understand things

[brave sparrow]

Use the Bukkit scheduler not Timer

[lost matrix]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[waxen plinth]

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(pluginHere, () -> {
  // whatever you want to happen
}, delay);```

delay is in ticks

So if you want it to delay by 5 seconds, that's 100 ticks

[tardy delta]

also i dont know why Arrays.asList(jigBlocks)

[delicate lynx]

if you want to schedule things, never use timer, use the bukkit scheduler

[turbid shoal]

ok yeah i was trying to find scheduler but spuigot forums didnt help

[tardy delta]

while jogBlocks is already a list

[turbid shoal]

so i just used java

[brave sparrow]

Java uses another thread to do it

[turbid shoal]

so is the scheduler the problem?

[brave sparrow]

Yes

[delicate lynx]

yes

[turbid shoal]

kthx

:}

[arctic moth]

is there a way to make things stackable/unstackable

[waxen plinth]

You mean items?

[arctic moth]

wait nvm its already an unstackable item i just fucked something up

[waxen plinth]

Ok

[arctic moth]

xD

[tardy delta]

#runTaskLater 😌

[waxen plinth]

If you want to make an item unstackable the easiest way is to give each one a random piece of metadata so that they're slightly different and can't stack

You can't really make unstackable items stackable

[waxen plinth]

Force of habit I guess

[tardy delta]

kekw

[waxen plinth]

I don't use the scheduler methods anymore I just do

[turbid shoal]

20 ticks in second right?

[waxen plinth]

Yes

[turbid shoal]

epic

[tardy delta]

created your own methods?

[waxen plinth]

Task.syncDelayed(() -> {
  // code
}, delay);```

Yeah

[opal juniper]

🤓

[tardy delta]

ah saw that in other plugins too

[turbid shoal]

wait this looks way simpler

[opal juniper]

dont use that

[turbid shoal]

ok

[opal juniper]

if you dont understand what is happening

[tardy delta]

it just doesnt the same thing inside the method

[waxen plinth]

^^^

[opal juniper]

and you dont have access to that

[waxen plinth]

I'm always the first one to plug my library but you really shouldn't use it until you have a solid grasp of java

[arctic moth]

is there a reason why this is saying its bound but without actually changing the pdc or the lore
https://paste.md-5.net/asubomukow.java

[turbid shoal]

do i have to do this in the main lcass?

[waxen plinth]

No you can do it anywhere but you need a reference to the plugin

[waxen plinth]

You're not calling setItemMeta

[turbid shoal]

when i reference to the plugin it gives error

[waxen plinth]

You have to do stuff like this

[arctic moth]

oh my bad lol

[turbid shoal]

"expression unexcpected"

[arctic moth]

why the hell am i saying my bad so much today

[waxen plinth]

ItemStack item; // Assume this is set
ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
meta.setLore(List.of("a", "b"));
item.setItemMeta(meta);```

[arctic moth]

yep ik

[waxen plinth]

Show code

[delicate lynx]

are you allergic to variable names

[turbid shoal]

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(PGP, () -> {

[waxen plinth]

PGP is probably the class name

You need the plugin instance

Which you can do a number of ways

[turbid shoal]

its the name of the plkugins

[waxen plinth]

Could do Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("PGP")

Could do JavaPlugin.getProvidingPlugin(PGP.class)

Could make a static instance getter

Oh right my bad lol

[turbid shoal]

thx

:}

[quaint mantle]

(Constructors exist)

[waxen plinth]

But you have to understand why the original did not work

PGP is not a value, it's a class name

A type

[turbid shoal]

its not a class

[waxen plinth]

PGP.class is an object representing the PGP class

You need the PGP instance

Not the class and not the typename

[turbid shoal]

ITS NOT A CLASS

[waxen plinth]

...

[tardy delta]

whats even the difference between #getPlugin and #getProvidingPlugin

[turbid shoal]

there is no class names PGP

named

[waxen plinth]

Okay

[delicate lynx]

then why did you put PGP as the plugin instance

[waxen plinth]

Well what are you expecting then

[turbid shoal]

because PGP is the name of the plugin

[waxen plinth]

The language doesn't know what you mean when you just type PGP

But you still need the instance

[delicate lynx]

you need the instance not the name of it

[waxen plinth]

I bet he named his class Main

[turbid shoal]

waht does instance mean

[delicate lynx]

oh boy

[turbid shoal]

IM TROLLING

jk
