i set it to white using dustoptions

[young knoll]

I think it also takes some data from the offset

Idk particles are kinda weird

[earnest forum]

no thats the firework effect i think

redstone takes color from dustoptions

[vale ember]

are nms versions for 1.18 and 1.18.2 different?

[earnest forum]

probably

[young knoll]

Yes

[waxen plinth]

Ok it's been long enough without me saying anything so I gotta ask

Why the stonetoss pfp

[young knoll]

The what

[waxen plinth]

Looks like stonetoss

A webcomic artist who is a known nazi

And that is not an exaggeration

[earnest forum]

if i wanted to make 2 different types of beacons

like 1 that has blue particles and one that has red

how would i do that?

listen to block place event, then add it to a list?

[quaint mantle]

@waxen plinth Some help: Im trying to be able to make it so that a value updates in my Confirm thingy when clicking confirm or deny, but I cant see to ever get it, any reason why?

[devout canyon]

amogus

[waxen plinth]

1. I can't really tell you without you sharing code and some more specifics
2. Please don't ping me for help

[quaint mantle]

ill send code if i have to

[quaint mantle]

k

[amber marsh]

how

[waxen plinth]

good question

the answer is 42

[amber marsh]

how do you get spigot score from armor stand

pls

[waxen plinth]

spigot score?

what are you talking about

[amber marsh]

sorry, I have been at this for an hour XD

scoreboardManager.getMainScoreboard().getObjective("Time").getScore(cardStand).setScore(10);

[quaint mantle]

invClickDetector

Confirm.getMap().get(event.getClickedInventory()).Finish(true);
``` (yes static abuse dont cry)

Confirm thingy
```java
public static HashMap<Inventory, Confirm> map = new HashMap<>();
    private Inventory gui;
    private AtomicReference<Boolean> allowClose = new AtomicReference<>(false);
    private AtomicReference<Boolean> optionResult = new AtomicReference<>(null);

    public Confirm(Player p, ItemStack confirmItem) throws InterruptedException {
        gui = Bukkit.createInventory(this, 9*1, ChatColor.GREEN + "Confirmation");
        map.put(gui, this);
        allowClose.set(false);
        init(p, confirmItem);
    }

    public static HashMap getMap(){
        return map;
    }

    public void Finish(Boolean result){
        optionResult.set(result);
        allowClose.set(true);
    }

    public Constable getResult(){
        return optionResult.get();
    }

[amber marsh]

this bit of code throws an error because cardStand is an armor stand

[young knoll]

I think you need to us the uuid of the stand

As a string

[waxen plinth]

^

[young knoll]

Scoreboards are weird and use strings for everything

[amber marsh]

ok

[quaint mantle]

any reason why its not letting me get anything?

[waxen plinth]

Why are you using AtomicReference

[quaint mantle]

auto suggested

i have 0 idea why id be using them otherwise

[waxen plinth]

Also not sure what you mean by "not letting me get anything"

[quaint mantle]

I cant get Finish

in the invClickDetector

[young knoll]

Atomic references are for thread safety

But that all looks single threaded

[quaint mantle]

I'm querying db on a join/leave event, would I do it on a new thread or not?

[waxen plinth]

Probably a good idea yeah

[young knoll]

Do it async

[sharp flare]

New

[waxen plinth]

If it's sqlite then you can get away with sync queries if you do enough caching

[quaint mantle]

[waxen plinth]

But for mysql you can't

[quaint mantle]

all the code you need rlly

[waxen plinth]

Again, please do not ping me for help

[quaint mantle]

it errors at the scheduler

[waxen plinth]

I am already in the chat

[young knoll]

There’s a AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent that exists for you as well

[quaint mantle]

crap sorry

i keep forgetting

but i have 0 idea why its doing this

[quaint mantle]

Aight thanks, yea it's mysql so I'll do it on new thread thanks!

Did I even do the ui right?

[quaint mantle]

Oh forgot about that one 😓 I'll use that then ty

Did i do msth wrong or smth

[ornate patio]

does BukkitScheduler#getPendingTasks() return a list of tasks from all plugins or just the plugin it was invoked in?

[opal juniper]

Leaves

[waxen plinth]

Yeah it's nearly 4am and I ran out of steam for helping people

There's only so much of the same stuff I can help people with over and over before it drains me

Why does no one ever have cool algorithms questions 🙃

[ornate patio]

I'm trying to implement an asynchronous BukkitTask that will loop infinitely (yes, i know BukkitTask#scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask exists, however I'm planning to add random delays)

scheduler.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(main, new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        if (hasGreaterThanDrunkPercent(player, 0)) {
            randomMove(player);
            
            scheduler.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(main, this, 20L);
        }
        else {
        
        }
    }
}, 20L);

I'm just wondering if the line:
scheduler.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(main, this, 20L);
will cause any infinite recursion errors

[waxen plinth]

Pretty sure that's gonna endlessly schedule itself and crash the server or something

[ornate patio]

I'm gonna add some logic for that dw

[waxen plinth]

Oh wait

It's not repeating

No that should be fine then

[ornate patio]

it's supposed to be repeating though

[waxen plinth]

Don't use new Runnable though

Use a lambda

`() -> {

}`

Much more compact

[ornate patio]

oh k

but how would i make the lambda call itself?

using this?

[waxen plinth]

Should still work

[ornate patio]

alright

[waxen plinth]

Kinda funky

[sharp saffron]

hey I dont know if anyone has any experience with this but i am aware that you can make custom items via the custom model data so does custom block data work for custom blocks aswell ?

[ornate patio]

no

[waxen plinth]

I have a library that lets you do custom blocks

It's not in base spigot

[sharp saffron]

is it public?

[waxen plinth]

Yes

Let me pull up the wiki page

[sharp saffron]

k ty

[waxen plinth]

https://github.com/Redempt/RedLib/wiki/Block-Data-Manager

[ornate patio]

uh

yeah i might need to use runnable

[waxen plinth]

Show code please

[ornate patio]

scheduler.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(main, () -> {
    if (hasGreaterThanDrunkPercent(player, 0)) {
        randomMove(player);
        
        scheduler.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(main, this, 20L);
    }
    else {
    
    }
}, 20L);

[waxen plinth]

You might need to put Runnable.this

Instead of just this

[sharp saffron]

just a few questions

[waxen plinth]

Really?

That's odd

Well then I guess you do need the anonymous class definition

[sharp saffron]

so are the blocks like armor stands or something

[ornate patio]

alright

[waxen plinth]

What do you mean

[ornate patio]

but the code i had before won't cause recursion issues correct?

[waxen plinth]

It shouldn't

[ornate patio]

alrighty

[quaint mantle]

For some reason, it always returns as none. Any idea why?

public Confirm(Player p, ItemStack confirmItem) {
        gui = Bukkit.createInventory(this, 9*1, ChatColor.GREEN + "Confirmation");
        this.optionResult = "none";
        map.put(gui, this);
        init(p, confirmItem);
    }

    public void Finish(Player p, Boolean result){
        this.optionResult = result;
        map.remove(gui);
        p.closeInventory();
    }

    public Object getResult(){
        return this.optionResult;
    }

Confirm result = new Confirm(clickedPlayer, tempItem);

                    int set = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(EmeraldsPlugin.jp, () -> {
                        clickedPlayer.sendMessage((String) result.getResult());
                        if (result.getResult() != "none") {
                            clickedPlayer.sendMessage(result.getResult() + "!!!!!!");
                        }
                    }, 0, 0);

[sharp saffron]

this is very intersting btw ty for sharing

[waxen plinth]

I still don't know what you were asking about it

[quaint mantle]

Me?

Ill give detail rq

Basically, tryna make a confirm or deny gui

but its not working as intended

[waxen plinth]

Not you

[quaint mantle]

I want it to return true if confirm- oh

Damn

[waxen plinth]

Sorry I'm not in the headspace to look through big code blocks with a vague description of what's wrong with them and figure out what's wrong with them

[fringe latch]

you're setting one variable to both String and Boolean 🧐

[quaint mantle]

where?

[fringe latch]

this.optionResult

[quaint mantle]

o

[quaint mantle]

fixed

it was set to Object

[elfin steppe]

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(final InventoryClickEvent e) {
        if (e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Center")) {
                Location main = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), 139.5, 8.0, 75.5, 180, 0);
                Player p = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
                p.teleport(main);
                new Beast().giveKit(p);
                return;
        }
        e.setCancelled(true);

How do I refer to a certain armorstand in this event? I have different armorstands one called Beast, one called Runner n one called Axeman (for ffa kits).

Like i need an if statement (if the armorstand is called beast or something like that)

[fringe latch]

that depends on where you want to access it and what for I guess

[elfin steppe]

I'm making an FFA plugin with ArmorStand kits system. I have an as for each kit.

[fringe latch]

like, you're inside an InventoryClickEvent, what armor stand are you even talking about?

[elfin steppe]

Because

I need to check

If it's the 'Center' item from the inventory that belongs to the beast armorstand that has been clicked

Or if it's the center item from the inv that belongs to runner

or axeman ^^

[fringe latch]

i see, so someone is clicking an armor stand which pops up an inventory?

[elfin steppe]

So when you right click the as u get an inventory where u can chose the spawns

Yes

Indeed

Now i want to check which of the as so i can give them the right kit

As you can see this line

new Beast().giveKit(p);

[fringe latch]

well, you could try creating a map where you would write the clicked entity when a player clicks it

and then you may retrieve it later by their name or uuid or sth

[elfin steppe]

Okay yeah

Isn't there a waay to

way to*

ok no nvm

[quaint mantle]

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, t -> {
  // do stuff
  if (shouldCancel) {
    t.cancel();
  }
}, 1, 1);

Can you make a looping task?

So it loops til its cancelled?\

[ornate patio]

am I able to use Player in a TreeMap?

private TreeMap<Player, TreeMap<Behavior, BukkitTask>> playerBehaviorTasks = new TreeMap<Player, TreeMap<Behavior, BukkitTask>>();

[quasi flint]

I would advise to use uuid

[fringe latch]

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask() and use cancel()

[ornate patio]

i'm getting an error when trying to access the treemap using Player

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer cannot be cast to class java.lang.Comparable (org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer is in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader @18769467; java.lang.Comparable is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

so i'd assume not

[quasi flint]

You sir are casting something very wrong

[ornate patio]

im not casting anything

[quasi flint]

Show your code and change from player to uuid

[ornate patio]

TreeMap<Behavior, BukkitTask> behaviorTasks = playerBehaviorTasks.get(player);
this is causing it

where player is a Player

yeah i can just use UUID then

[ivory sleet]

How do you use the comparator

Since TreeMap is kinda sorted by the comparator

[ivory sleet]

That way of doing it works, but they’re using the right variant/better, runTaskTimer

[quaint mantle]

how

there is no way to use cancel

also as @ivory sleet stated

im tring to use the better way, but I want it looped

but cancelable

god I BADLY need help

somebody PLEASE

[elfin steppe]

@quaint mantle maybe create a thread n u'll get helped faster

[quaint mantle]

no cause nobody is on rn

I need this fixed now however

[elfin steppe]

okay true

Well i'm a full beginner so I can't help you out sorry 🙁

[ivory sleet]

Use a BukkitRunnable in case you want it to be cancellable outside and inside

?scheduling does take this up

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

Give it a read (:

[smoky oak]

question, if i make a class extend Event, can another plugin implementing it listen to that, and where in the event's execution would it trigger, also, do i manually need to do a check if the event is disabled?

[quaint mantle]

@ivory sleet Okay, but can I loop it?

[wheat abyss]

Guys sorry im bad at this, Is this static abuse

[smoky oak]

I think thats normal practice though i just skip the null check since i know i need it anyways

[ivory sleet]

1. Yes
2. For every listener they have declared and register would it trigger given (you need to use PluginManager::callEvent)
3. By disabled you mean cancelled? Yes you do

Moterius

[ivory sleet]

No but it’s bound to give you an error

[smoky oak]

so how do i handle the cancelled? first line do if(this.isCancelled()) return

[wheat abyss]

Oh ok, thanks, Im not exactly knew to this (3 years) but I never really understood static abuse, or more like what isnt

[ivory sleet]

As there can ever only be one instance of PluginMain, but since you call new PluginMain(), you’re creating a new instance of it

Moterius basically

Well

[wheat abyss]

when it cancelled it should just stop right

[ivory sleet]

Not inside the Event

But where you invoke from

[wheat abyss]

nvm Ill stay out of it sorry

[ivory sleet]

In principle yeah

?event-api moterius did you read this?

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[smoky oak]

ah no

im not aware yet of all the resources on spigot

mainly because half of the time i cant even access it

[ivory sleet]

Lol no worries

Ah, anyhow I believe they go through it how to use custom events there

class MainPluginThing extends JavaPlugin {
  static MainPluginThing instance;
  static getInstance(){ return instance;}
  @Override void onEnable(){
    instance = this;
  }
}```

@wheat abyss do it like this

In this way you’re not creating any new objects/instances/samples of MainPluginThing

[smoky oak]

?staticabuse

worth a try

[ivory sleet]

Lol

[wheat abyss]

Ah yes! Thats what I say my friend use in one of their plugins actually lol

[ivory sleet]

Myeah, static abuse is sometimes subjective tho

[wheat abyss]

Actually wait thats what I use to do before the thing I do now

dang now i feel dumb lmao

[dawn hazel]

me whos guilty of static abuse

[wheat abyss]

Honestly if it doesnt break anything I dont see anything wrong with it

[dawn hazel]

extremely guilty of static abuse

[wheat abyss]

WOA

[ivory sleet]

dataNotStatic do be vibin’

[wheat abyss]

Tru

[wheat abyss]

At that point I would suggest not static abusing just to not look dumb

[ivory sleet]

But yeah, Skygamez it’s worth looking into a more robust approach in the conceivable future

[smoky oak]

Uh Conclure, where is the method body? I only see getters & a constructor

[wheat abyss]

But hey if it works

[dawn hazel]

honestly i dont really see a reason to fix it though because nothing has broken (yet) and i havent noticed any preformance issues

plus i have a large list of stuff i need to do before this server releases

[wheat abyss]

I used to do that, but honestly I just feel better/cooler when not doing it lol

[crimson terrace]

isnt static less performance heavy than having a getter?

[ivory sleet]

Context?

[wheat abyss]

thats a fair point

[ivory sleet]

no

[smoky oak]

what you linked me

[ivory sleet]

static isn’t less performant in terms of speed at all

[dawn hazel]

idk

[crimson terrace]

thats what I said

[smoky oak]

there's not said which method gets executed

[wheat abyss]

lol

[smoky oak]

is it the constructor?

[ivory sleet]

In fact static is usually faster than non static

[smoky oak]

because that would be wreally weird

[crimson terrace]

double negation there

[dawn hazel]

ill fix it once being guilty of static abusing puts me in java jail

[crimson terrace]

javail?

[dawn hazel]

aka when all my crappy coding finally catches up to me and starts causing issues on my server

[ivory sleet]

But given that static stubs out all possible abstractions

It’s pretty bad most of the times

[dawn hazel]

i dont rlly have time to fix it either lol

i have about 7 custom plugins i need to get done

[crimson terrace]

seems like youre guilty of accepting too much work at once

[dawn hazel]

cause i dont have time to refactor about 10 different classes

[wheat abyss]

What plugins im bored

[dawn hazel]

im the sole developer of this entire server

an entire network

[wheat abyss]

I do that too lol

[ivory sleet]

I can’t find it, looks alright to me when reading it just right now

[dawn hazel]

and i need to get done a reporting system, revamp my basics plugin, fix the slashhub plugin, configure a ton of plugins, figure out how to use webhooks in java, make a discord bot, and a bunch of other stuff

[smoky oak]

which method gets executed when callEvent(new ExampleEvent("Name")) gets called? For me it only shows, in the example code, the handler getter and the class constructor

[dawn hazel]

aswell as fixing the issue with tabcompletion

[smoky oak]

hence my confusion

[dawn hazel]

so yeah i have a lot of work to do

[wheat abyss]

May I dm you Sky? I could try to help if you would like

[dawn hazel]

i am. but when your the only developer for an entire network things add up

[dawn hazel]

sure

[wheat abyss]

pog

[dawn hazel]

but i dont exactly have the money to pay for developers at the moment

[wheat abyss]

Oh thats fine

[wheat abyss]

I dont exactly have a bank account

[ivory sleet]

Given that ExampleListener is registered

[smoky oak]

thats not what i mean
it says this is the entire implementation
but there's only constructors and getter methods
there's nothing for the event to execute

import org.bukkit.event.Event;
import org.bukkit.event.HandlerList;

public class ExampleEvent extends Event {
    private static final HandlerList HANDLERS = new HandlerList();
    private final String playerName;

    public static HandlerList getHandlerList() {return HANDLERS;}
    public ExampleEvent(String playerName) {this.playerName = playerName;}
    @Override
    public HandlerList getHandlers() {return HANDLERS;}
    public String getPlayerName() {return this.playerName;}
}

[ivory sleet]

What would it be to execute?

Event objects are just bundlers that have references to other objects

They don’t have any logic inside them (mostly)

The procedure then goes by passing the event object to the plugin manager

Which calls the registered listeners

[smoky oak]

so, you mean that the purpose of events is to give the ability to manipulate specific things in code through no direct interaction?

[ivory sleet]

Well idk what you mean by direct interaction

But yes

Sort of

It’s a way to have a collection of observers that gets called when something happens

[smoky oak]

ah thans

that cleared things up a bit

[ivory sleet]

In this case each observer is a listener

And it just so happen to be the case that when we call the listeners we also pass an event instance which the listeners can use

And sometimes this event instance is cancellable, so it would allow further manipulation in other words

But does necessarily not have to do anything at all with manipulation

[smoky oak]

what'd be a good naming way for wrapper classes containing the logic that runs after a event is called?

like

I would only call a event if something specific is happening, how would i name a class handling the event?

[ivory sleet]

Bukkit has a CraftEventFactory iirc

[smoky oak]

a what now?

[ivory sleet]

they call it event factory

But it’s essentially just a bunch of static methods iirc

[terse ore]

is there a method to add i value to y location?

[smoky oak]

well github is broken

[ivory sleet]

Location::add I think?

[smoky oak]

location.add(new Vector(0,i,0)) iirc

[terse ore]

thanks

[crimson terrace]

could do without the vector

ye, that

[smoky oak]

that adds 1 not i

[terse ore]

:v

ik

world is represented as string?

[crimson terrace]

the world name is

[terse ore]

so it's the same if I use

• "world"
• world

[ivory sleet]

Tho that’s a yaml sequence

yes

[terse ore]

oki

[ivory sleet]

By the specifications they must be the same

[terse ore]

well I'll go to eat breakfast

brb <3

[ivory sleet]

Sounds yummy

[molten hearth]

any ideas why this would freeze when running the thread

it seems that the ```java
while(true)

but its in a thread so why would it matter

[pulsar zenith]

Use Bukkit runAsync

And bukkitrunnables

[grim ice]

Ur making lots of Scanners

Just use one and read the input

[molten hearth]

oh yeah lol tx

dont even have runnables

maybe cause its a bungee plugin

[tardy delta]

Calling Thread::run instead of Thread::start yummy

[molten hearth]

oh bruh

[molten hearth]

ty

[sweet pike]

How can i spawn a coloured particle of type SPELL? i'm not able to figure out how to add the colour for it

[earnest forum]

the offset numbers become rgb

I think

[sweet pike]

🧍

[earnest forum]

it could be 0 to 10

1.0

doubt it tho

[sweet pike]

so in the method i just use the offset params as my RGB?

[earnest forum]

yes

Wait it's a float from 0 to 1.0

@sweet pike

And the amount has to be 0

I couldn't find any resources that are updated on spell particle colouring

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-13-colored-particles.330520/

I found this

I guess just use the regular rgb and then divide each number by 255

If you want 255,0,100 it would be (1,0,0.39)

[sweet pike]

okay i'll try that out

[grim ice]

@smoky oak so basically

in simple terms

Its just something for other people or you to listen to

and you have to call the event yourself, then the code that's in the listener for the event will run

The logic should be when you are calling the event

Not the event itself

[red sedge]

is there anyway i can change the maxstacksize of a material

[chrome beacon]

Yes but that will always be a bit jank

[red sedge]

hm/

should i just not even try

[desert tinsel]

when i spawn an ender dragon, it doesn't move, why?

my code is

Location dragon_spawn = new Location(p.getWorld(), -670, 82, -275);
                    Entity entity = p.getWorld().spawnEntity(dragon_spawn, EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON);
                    entity.setGlowing(true);
                    entity.setCustomNameVisible(true);
                    entity.setCustomName(ChatColor.GOLD+"ENDER DRAGON");```

[red sedge]

ender dragons are generally weird

[weary geyser]

Did they remove #getDataWatcher from the Entity class in 1.18 NMS?

[desert tinsel]

hmm

[tardy delta]

When summonning Ender dragons in the overworld by command they don't move either

[desert tinsel]

but i have set biome the end with worldedit

it doesn't help?

[misty current]

best guess i got is it was renamed

if it was you can always try to get the field instead with reflections, since i guess that's still there

[weary geyser]

yeah I did that instead

how tf do you get the navigation

[misty current]

Mob class

has the getNavigation method

if you need a PathNavigation

oh btw thanks to you i have discovered something fun while testing to make a player's screen black

you can show the demo menu to a player or freeze the client if you force the client to show the end credits menu

didn't discover anything about making the screen black tho :c

oh really

how?

oh that's smart

too bad you require the resource pack

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[celest lichen]

Ayo ^^ Anybody got a clue how to tinker together the CPU Usage in % based on
ThreadMXBean threadMXBean = ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean();
double usage = (threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadCpuTime() - threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadUserTime() / 1000000);

? I cant get this to work, my math is too stupid and I fear Ive run into a hole of being too stupid to program after a 12 hour shift xDD

like beforehand I tried it over
double calced = 0;

        OperatingSystemMXBean operatingSystemMXBean = ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean();
        if (operatingSystemMXBean instanceof UnixOperatingSystemMXBean) {
            UnixOperatingSystemMXBean bean = (UnixOperatingSystemMXBean) operatingSystemMXBean;
            calced = bean.getProcessCpuLoad();
        }

        double cpuTime = calced * 100; 

and it worked but sadly that isnt supported in Java 17 it seems 😦

[chrome beacon]

You can use the scheduler to run sync

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[tardy delta]

do all entities on the server have a different uuid?

or is there a way to sneak thro that?

[chrome beacon]

Yes, well they should

[tardy delta]

'they should' ._.

[chrome beacon]

You can spawn two with the same UUID with some hacky stuff

[tardy delta]

hmm assuming my users dont do that stupid things

ill take that as a yes :)

[misty current]

it's better they do else behavior could be pretty messed up

[chrome beacon]

Assume that there will only be one

[tardy delta]

i was wondering if i could compare players based on their uuid

[misty current]

i don't know if you've ever seen some videos about duplicate minecraft accounts

[chrome beacon]

Duplicate names you mean

Those are fun, breaks a lot of plugins

[misty current]

yes lmao

actually they don't have the same uuid but just the names break a lot of stuff

[chrome beacon]

There are also rare accounts with special characters like . in them

[tardy delta]

so should i use uuid's to compare players? :)

[misty current]

yeah that's a mess

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[misty current]

Player#equals does that

[tardy delta]

ok 🌝

[misty current]

actually i think thats the case for any entity

[tardy delta]

Player#equals also checks the id

the server gives each entity a id (int)

not persistent

[misty current]

yes i know what an id is

kinda weird tho don't think it's that necessary

[tardy delta]

this basically

i dont think its overkill to use that instead of comparing uuids

[kindred valley]

hey do anyone know what is this ava.lang.NoSuchFieldException: modifier

[misty current]

also weird enough, ServerPlayer doesn't have an equals method

[misty current]

it means that the field you are looking for doesn't exist at runtime

[frosty minnow]

i see you are a fellow user of the Ava™️ programming language

not many of us around these parts

[kindred valley]

It is Avast actually 😎

[frosty minnow]

😱

[visual tide]

😮

[frosty minnow]

avantastirivus

[tardy delta]

is (a || b && c) the same as ((a || b) && c)?

or do they evaluate from the left to the right?

[fossil lily]

What does .getMount return?

[visual tide]

left to right

which is why you can do if (object != null && object.someMethod())

is npe-safe

[sage dragon]

I want to make some "custom mob ai", is it easier to just use armor stands to let them move to a specific location?

[young dome]

Can we detect if an inventory is not a default inventory in spigot with packets or else ? (an inventory created on the client side)

[tardy delta]

this is returning true so if it was left to right it would return false
true || false && false

[young knoll]

Short circuiting

As soon as it sees true, it stops

Idk how that would ever be expected to return false, it has true hardcoded into it

[tardy delta]

true || false -> true && false -> false (left to right)

[misty current]

i don't see the issue

false && false gets executed first

then true || false

basically this is true || (false && false)

which is true

[young knoll]

Uhh yeah seems good

My brain hurt

[tardy delta]

mine too

[lime jolt]

anyone know how to remove the wrapper ("<Username>") around ur name
like it says ```

<PetarPotato> hello

but I want it to say ```

PetarPotato Hello

no <>

[tardy delta]

listen for the AsyncPlayerChatEvent and replace the default format

[misty current]

this stuff does big damage to my brain too lol

[earnest forum]

@lime jolt Do you know what an event is

[misty current]

1st thing do you have basic knowledge of java

[lime jolt]

not entirly sure

[tardy delta]

-> %1$s %2$s

[misty current]

2nd, a listener is something spigot came up with to modify certain things that happen in-game

[earnest forum]

Do you know how to code in java

[lime jolt]

a bit

but never in minecraft

[tardy delta]

here we go again 🌝

[misty current]

like chat messages sent, block placements and breaking

[earnest forum]

find a tutorial on YouTube

how to set up project, events, commands

[lime jolt]

nnonono, but I think one of my plugins is overdidng the name display

[earnest forum]

I learnt off of CodedRed

[earnest forum]

the <> is vanilla minecraft

[lime jolt]

I am using spigot

[misty current]

coded red is not bad but i'd not follow any of the java language things he says

i've noticed some of them not being very accurate

[earnest forum]

yeah he doesn't explain it well

[tardy delta]

not good either in terms of storage solutions

[misty current]

api wise pretty solid

[earnest forum]

Yes spigot is just vanilla with extra steps

[lime jolt]

oH

[fluid nacelle]

Okay, so this is going to be an interesting one. I'm working on an ability where any players that are looking at the activator are forced to look at that player for 10 seconds, so if that player moves then the players that have seen the activator have their set locations constantly adjusted to be looking at that player (via a Runnable). How the heck would I calculate the yaw/pitch to set? 🤔

[earnest forum]

a lot more extra steps

[lime jolt]

oki

[earnest forum]

search up coded red on YouTube

[tardy delta]

you can replace it lol

[misty current]

so you want to change a player's yaw and pitch to make them watch a point?

may i introduce you to my great friend trigonometry

[earnest forum]

his tutorials are for 1.15 and 1.16 but they should work in 1.18

[fluid nacelle]

Yeah that's right

I suck at trigonometry

[misty current]

do you know what it is

very bad

[earnest forum]

they don't know how to program spigot

[misty current]

do you know what sin and cos are

[lime jolt]

its all in 1.15 I am in 1.8.8

[tardy delta]

ha sike

[earnest forum]

Do you mean without a plugin

[lime jolt]

unless

[misty current]

that's the worst version to start

[lime jolt]

1.8.8 is above

[earnest forum]

Most stuff will apply

Just materials

some enums have different names

[misty current]

use modern api to learn please and then if you decide to go through the pain go to legacy

[fluid nacelle]

Used to get angles and can somehow be used to get the position of a perimeter of a circle

[misty current]

open a thread and i'll explain a bit

[sage dragon]

Is it possible to play the attack speed animation in the off hand? 🤔

[fluid nacelle]

Animation via mining fatigue, attack speed via attribute

[kindred valley]

@EventHandler
    public void onGasp(PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent e) {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        Player clickedEntity = (Player) e.getRightClicked();
        if(p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().equals(Material.NETHER_STAR)) {
            p.openInventory(clickedEntity.getPlayer().getInventory());
        }
    }``` this event is not triggering somehow, no errors on log

[misty current]

i think he means forcing the animation to play

[misty current]

did you register it

oh i know why

[kindred valley]

registering what

[misty current]

you are comparing a materual with an itemstack

[young knoll]

Try just the PlayerInteractEntityEvent

[tardy delta]

dont cast without checking

[young knoll]

That too

[misty current]

he's using equals with a material

[tardy delta]

dont compare itemstack with material

[misty current]

on an itemstack

[tardy delta]

and npe

:)

[misty current]

and also blind casting is bad

[tardy delta]

you noob i already said that

[misty current]

if you need help with trigo open a thread and i'll help u a bit

[sage dragon]

That would affect the main hand too, just want to swing the off hand 🤔

[kindred valley]

i dont

[misty current]

don't want to spam the chat with a math lesson

[misty current]

do you want to force an hand animation?

[tardy delta]

you do

[sage dragon]

p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().equals(Material.NETHER_STAR)
You literally do

[sage dragon]

Yes, I want to force it, and it should be on the off hand, not the main hand

[kindred valley]

do i need to use isSimilar

[tardy delta]

do null check and getType() after that

wait no you can check for null with == and its an enum

[misty current]

afaik, there is a packet sent, called playerarmswing or something similar and the outcome of the packet is handled by the client

i don't think you can specify what hand to swing

[fluid nacelle]

You'll need to use the interact entity packet https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Interact_Entity

[misty current]

it's based on what does the playerhave in its hand

[fluid nacelle]

Trigonometry

[kindred valley]

tnaks

[sage dragon]

Seems like you can.

Using the PacketPlayOutAnimation does play a swing animation, but not the cooldown animation (The slow raise of the weapon)

[young knoll]

There’s API

LivingEntity#swingOffHand

[sage dragon]

Thanks, now I don't need to use packets. Probably should look into the api first before running to nms next time.

But there's still no slow raise of the weapon, maybe it's not possible?

[tardy delta]

does it matter if i hide myself for myself?

[minor garnet]

this method is called when the player click in a living player?

[tardy delta]

are there also dead players?

[young knoll]

It’s called when the player right clicks any entity

[fervent gate]

Is it possible to work with persistent data in blocks that don't have a tilestate

like dirt or something

[young knoll]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-block-data-persistentdatacontainer-for-blocks.512422/

[fervent gate]

Thanks!

[misty current]

is there any naming convention for static methods that return a new "empty" instance of a class

basically this object is meant to store some game data and if you call the static methods it will create an object without any data

[tardy delta]

just finished 360 line vanish command

🥶😈

[young dome]

up

[fossil lily]

Anyone know why this wouldn't work?

[dusk flicker]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[fossil lily]

Im trying to detect when a player has 1 blaze powder, every ten ticks. Im running that in the main class on startup. When I set it to check for at least 1, it doesnt work. When I set it to 0, it constantly runs. No error.

[tardy delta]

why are you creating an itemstack if you never use it?

[fossil lily]

I was trying something you can ignore it

[misty current]

dont use that method, it's deprecated and i think it doesn't even work nowadays

[pulsar zenith]

Shouldn't it be a SYNC repeating task

[misty current]

use runtasktimer or similar

[pulsar zenith]

Also u should use that ^^^

[misty current]

also running it async is pointless

such an easy check

[fallen sandal]

hi

        scheduler.scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Do something

                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Dont Forget Join Our Discord Server! type /discord");

            }
        }, 0L, 300 * 1000);``` in this code how to add more broadcast message?

like it will give serial by serial after 5 miniutes?

[pulsar zenith]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[pulsar zenith]

Use that pls for code

[fallen sandal]

ok

[wheat abyss]

I dont see why that wouldnt work

[misty current]

learn java please, this question is pointless

[fallen sandal]

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

[fallen sandal]

its working

i want to add more message

like it will broadcast a message then after 5 miniutes then a different message

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

[misty current]

oh you want to cycle through messages

you could store an integer in the global field of the Runnable you create

[wheat abyss]

yeah then loop through an arraylist or smth

I was thinkin that too

[misty current]

and add 1 to it each time the thing runs

[lapis widget]

Development at its finest
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/711980654983905401/952568536100900874/unknown.png

[misty current]

then get a message based on the number

nice but add a space between Total and Worth

and so on

[dusk flicker]

^

personally id have the footer be Made by x, but thats just me

[fallen sandal]

oh

cant i do it like this?

sry

[dusk flicker]

no

[tardy delta]

never do new RUnnable

[fallen sandal]

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

[lapis widget]

Its a Minecraft plugin made with discord JDA with placeholderapi support

[dusk flicker]

?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.

[fallen sandal]

oh

[misty current]

it could be useful to do it sometimes

[red sedge]

why not?

[wheat abyss]

^

[misty current]

with runnable not much

[tardy delta]

not really for schedulers

[misty current]

but with BukkitRunnable it is useful

you can call cancel inside the run method

[wheat abyss]

yeah

[misty current]

and assign global fields in BukkitRunnable

while you can't with lambdas

[tardy delta]

scheduler.runTask(plugin, task -> { task.cancel(); })

[misty current]

what about the global fields

[tardy delta]

why fields?

[misty current]

they could be useful

[red sedge]

cuz you may need them?

[wheat abyss]

Yeah like if you needed to access a timer int to count it down every sec or smth

[misty current]

^ and not only

also if you want to put more methods

[wheat abyss]

yeah

[misty current]

how many chances are there that 2 random UUIDs are the same?

[tardy delta]

i just make an inner class which extends bukkitrunnable

[sage dragon]

    private LivingEntity getTarget(Player player) {
        Vector direction = player.getLocation().getDirection();
        Location eyeLocation = player.getEyeLocation();

        for (int i = 1; i < 3; i++) {
            Collection<Entity> entities = eyeLocation.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(eyeLocation.clone().add(direction.multiply(i)), .3, .1, .3);

            entities.removeIf(entity -> !(entity instanceof LivingEntity));

            entities.removeIf(entity -> entity == player);

            Entity entity = entities.stream().findFirst().orElse(null);

            if (entity != null)
                return (LivingEntity) entity;
        }

        return null;
    }

Is there a better way to check for the entity a player is looking at?

[wheat abyss]

Hey guys, what would the best way to store a method and then run it later be?

[tardy delta]

runnable?

[wheat abyss]

hm?

oh sorry I didnt phrase my question good

what would the best way to store a method in a var be?

[tardy delta]

runnable

[misty current]

runnable

[wheat abyss]

there is not a set time between when I store it and when it runs

[misty current]

dude

you don't need to create a task

save the method as a runnable

and call .run when you want it to be run

[wheat abyss]

oh yeah smart thinking

[misty current]

        Runnable runnable = () -> Bukkit.broadcastMessage("hi");
        runnable.run();

invoke run() when you want it to execute

[tardy delta]

or just make a method

[echo basalt]

raytrace

RayTraceResult result = player.raytraceEntities(...)

it will probably result the player to use the predicate to your advantage

[sage dragon]

Performs a ray trace that checks for entity collisions.

[echo basalt]

Yeah it grabs the direction, takes into account the bounding boxes etc

[raw ibex]

any hologram generator api already made
i know IkeVoodoo is making me one but it's taking forever ;((

[echo basalt]

Just use whatever plugin works

[sage dragon]

I already tried using this, but it only accounts for entities which collide apparently

[echo basalt]

What type of entities are you looking for?

[sage dragon]

Any LivingEntity which can be damaged

[raw ibex]

i want an api and i don't know one that exists

[echo basalt]

If it can be damaged, it has a boundingbox

[sage dragon]

Yeah, but raytraceEntities still only accounts for entities which collide right now apparently.

Or I did something wrong with the range

[echo basalt]

RayTraceResult result = player.getWorld().rayTraceEntities(player.getEyeLocation(), player.getEyeLocation().getDirection(), 5.0, (entity) -> !(entity.getUniqueId().equals(player.getUniqueId()));

You probably messed up the range

result can be null, so can hitEntity sometimes

[sage dragon]

I even tried 320 as range

[echo basalt]

Yeah that's too much

It returns true for items, arrows

lots of entities

[sage dragon]

But 32 is also not doing anything, except if I'm currently colliding with the entity

Or 3.2

[echo basalt]

are you sure it isn't returning the player?

Just try the code

[sage dragon]

Okay

Weird 🤔

Now it's working. Probably messed up something when I tested it.

But if it returned myself, I'd have taken damage

Thanks though 👍

[tardy delta]

is it possible to give a bossbar a hex colour in 1.17?

[lost matrix]

The bar itself not. But the text above it should work.

[tardy delta]

hmm i was going for the bar itself

[lost matrix]

Still defined by an enum 🤷

[tardy delta]

ye unfortunately

[lean gull]

anyone know a good tutorial for making something like this?

[tardy delta]

i guess get string from the config and replace things

[lost matrix]

Configs should be your least concern. Write everything in memory and worry about serialization later.

[tardy delta]

im not understanding your question completely

[lean gull]

i wanna make it so i can easily input stuff for the bot in a config file though

or a better solution than a config file if u have any

[lost matrix]

Then the best way is to have a proper object oriented approach

[lean gull]

wat dat mean

[lost matrix]

What is your overall goal?

[lean gull]

i wanna make a sort-of custom language for it

like a place where you can input an input and an output for the bot, and whenever the input occurs, the output is sent

and with custom expressions

[lost matrix]

Then before you do anything else you have to define your language.

[lean gull]

idk how to do that

[lost matrix]

Its also quite complicated if you havent fully mastered an existing language yourself.

[lean gull]

i'm learning my own way cause i have a learning disability

this is my way of learning, asking, watching tutorials and trying myself

[lost matrix]

You would have to define a background compiler pipeline.
Lexing -> Parsing -> Type Checking and then depending on your specs one of [Code generation, Interpretation]
In your case its def Interpretation

[lean gull]

i don't understand any of that and i think you know that

[dusk flicker]

you are acting like smile knows exactly what you know and don't know

They are explaining it as someone with full java experience will understand, which is good

[lean gull]

he's seen me quite here quite a few times, i think he knows that i have no understanding of those words

[lost matrix]

I just think that even i would have to put weeks into this to come up with a proper implementation. And ive dabbled with
implementing my own jvm language already. You are attempting something that can be potentially very difficult.

[lean gull]

i don't want to make a whole language, i just want to know how to split the message

look at the example i made in the original message

[rough drift]

String#split

but i guess if you want an actual language you'd need a proper tokenizer with parser

and an interpreter or AST walker

[dusk flicker]

actual langs are a nightmare lmao

[lean gull]

i need to know what the input means, like the one from my example. how would i do that?

[desert tinsel]

Why i have a problem with placeholderapi dependency??

[rough drift]

no actually

[dusk flicker]

you forgot the version

[desert tinsel]

what version i need?

[rough drift]

if you use some language for initial compiling (such as js) and ten bootstrap it, it can be very nice

[desert tinsel]

to put

[dusk flicker]

check their wiki

or google it for that matter

[desert tinsel]

thx

[dusk flicker]

yeah thats fair, from my experience in Java it ain't nice lol

[rough drift]

you can forget any language like java for making a language lmao, its so messy

in js you can make a really nice ast

like

[dusk flicker]

remove the v more than likely

[rough drift]

{type: 'NodeType', something}

[lost matrix]

But parts of the message mean something.
And you would have to define actual codeflow for those elements:
@lean gull

[desert tinsel]

i tried

[misty current]

my head hurts

too many generics

[rough drift]

what side is this?

draw.io?

[lost matrix]

yes

[rough drift]

lmao

[dusk flicker]

Can you send your pom.xml in a paste?

?paste

[dusk flicker]

Looking at their example I guess it would be v2.11.1, but thats interesting

you are refreshing maven correct?

[desert tinsel]

the errors are refreshing

[dusk flicker]

?

[lost matrix]

invalidate caches and restart

[desert tinsel]

ah

it works now

ty

[misty current]

💀

[lean gull]

ok, how do i do that

i don't know where to start

[misty current]

i am pretty sure i could make wiser use of generics here

[fringe latch]

i am quite sure you can't pull it off atm, try something easier now and get back to it later

[misty current]

can't I

[lost matrix]

Lexing and parsing.
You can also try and just code away using a prefix tree but either way it will be hard.

[lost matrix]

For once you could put your method annotation not in the middle of the declaration but above it, where it belongs.

lul

[lean gull]

do you have a good tutorial on lexing and parsing? i also need to know what they are*

[lost matrix]

Also you do nothing with those generics. So you can just use wildcard anyways XD

[misty current]

oh tell me i have not been doing this wrong since forever

[lost matrix]

Ah nvm

The consumer is typed

[misty current]

yeah, i kinda need to use them

because i need to put the bi consumer as the way i want data to be put in the document

let's say the value is an enum, i'd call entry.getValue().name()

example

[ancient plank]

bold of u to think im awake at midnight

[lost matrix]

But this still looks a bit weird. I feel like there are better approaches

[misty current]

i have 3 maps with enum keys and int values i need to save so i do this

[misty current]

yeah i know

i have never used generics much to be honest, im messing around

it would be cleaner to just put the for in the place where i need it

[lost matrix]

Btw. You can also just throw an Object into Gson and then translate it to a document.
Saves you all the serialization work.

[lean gull]

anyone?

[misty current]

wait so if i slap an hashmap into it what happens?

[dusk flicker]

?bing

[undone axle]

Bing your question before asking it:
https://www.bing.com/

[misty current]

as the value

[lavish hemlock]

https://craftinginterpreters.com/

[lost matrix]

It will be perfectly serialized

[misty current]

and if i call .get and cast it to a map with the correct generics it will just go back to be a normal map

[lavish hemlock]

This goes through every thing you might need to know about language development, including lexing (scanning) and parsing.

[misty current]

man's tryna code skript 2.0

[lost matrix]

You get the doc as json and then just let Gson deserialize it again

[misty current]

wow i wish i knew earlier

this saves a lot of time

so let's say i call .get("myMap") and the object i inserted with .put("myMap", ...) was a Map<Enum<?>, Integer>

[lost matrix]

Here is an example where i just used Jackson to serialize whatever object i wanted:

  public <T extends IndexableObject<?>> void persist(final String collectionName, final T object) {
    final String json = JacksonProvider.serialize(object);
    final Document document = Document.parse(json);

    final MongoCollection<Document> collection = this.database.getCollection(collectionName);

    collection.createIndex(Indexes.hashed(object.getIndexedField()));

    final ReplaceOptions options = new ReplaceOptions().upsert(true);

    final Bson filter = Filters.eq(object.getIndexedField(), object.getFieldValue());

    collection.replaceOne(filter, document, options);
  }

The IndexableObject is not needed but i wanted to index keys for performance.

[misty current]

ooh i get it

you serialize the map to json, then to bson

[lost matrix]

And T can be literally anything you can serialize with Jackson or Gson. As long as you register type adapters for things like Location, ItemStack and whatever

[patent horizon]

why is everything breaking when i put this variable in here

[lavish hemlock]

Because that's not a proper lambda

() => {}, not {}

{} represents a block

[patent horizon]

oh

[misty current]

wrapper class for long :c

[lavish hemlock]

also yeah why the fuck are you using the primitive wrappers lol

[patent horizon]

Long?

[lavish hemlock]

Yes

long is preferable

[misty current]

adapters? like wrapper classes for them?

[patent horizon]

dont know, im just translating someones code from kotlin to java

[misty current]

and i make the wrapper class implement the interface

[lavish hemlock]

Using wrappers everywhere is slow

[lavish hemlock]

(Fun fact: Kotlin also does not use the wrappers, it has Int, Long, etc. which map directly to Java primitives when used on the JVM)

[misty current]

i'd rather learn kotlin lol

[patent horizon]

oh probably because of this

[tardy delta]

Long

[misty current]

leave the wrapper in the map

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah type parameters are like the only situation where you have to use the wrappers

[lost matrix]

Stuff like this

[misty current]

java auto packages and unpackages primitives to their wrapper class when needed

(i think it's called packaging)

[lavish hemlock]

It's called autoboxing

[misty current]

or something similar 🤔

ah yes, forgot the word

[lavish hemlock]

Autoboxing was added back in Java 5 iirc and it literally automates the conversion between int and Integer, and etc/vice-versa.

[misty current]

oh i had something similar but it was just from the object to a bson document

[lavish hemlock]

For instance, passing an int to a method that takes Object is valid because it does a Integer.valueOf(i) beforehand.

(Meanwhile, Integer -> int AKA unboxing, is integer.intValue())

[lost matrix]

This is just needed for objects that Gson cant serialize while traversing. Everything else doesnt need it
as Gson just recursively goes through the object.

[misty current]

autoboxing used to confuse me when i started, didn't know why stuff changed by itself so i just ignored it

[lavish hemlock]

(Oh yeah this is all also compiler logic)

[misty current]

yes

[lost matrix]

Are you sure this is done on compiler level and not at runtime?

[lavish hemlock]

Yes, the compiler has specific AST elements for handling autoboxing.

There are internal "let expressions."

[lost matrix]

Which ones? never seen them

[lavish hemlock]

https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.kohsuke.sorcerer/sorcerer-javac/latest/com/sun/tools/javac/tree/JCTree.LetExpr.html

[misty current]

can you send me the maven import for the json lib you use

[lost matrix]

Just use Gson. Its in spigot already. I find custom serialization with Jackson much harder.

[lavish hemlock]

Isn't Jackson also just slower?

[misty current]

aight

[lavish hemlock]

I've seen charts that say so.

[ivory sleet]

Thought it was the opposite

[lavish hemlock]

The problems with having an ultra-extensible system :)

[lost matrix]

One moment ill give you some code boostrap to start with

[patent horizon]

would anyone know what the java equivalence of .iterator() would be?

[lavish hemlock]

Well, Java has an iterator method.

For maps though? I think there's something like mapIterator lemme check.

[misty current]

aight thanks

[lavish hemlock]

Nah you'll have to do uhh

.entrySet().iterator()

[misty current]

i'd just run an enhanced for, i think it's cleaner

[lavish hemlock]

Well sometimes you need to do .remove() calls so

I dunno what Wally's use-case is

[misty current]

readibility wise, at least

hm yea

also what do I see? main class named Main and static getter?

[lavish hemlock]

All hail the ConcurrentModificationException

[misty current]

never

[lavish hemlock]

:)

[misty current]

i remember i used to clone the object i was iterating to work around it

not sure how efficient it was lol

[quiet ice]

With ConcurrentHashMap you will never see it

[misty current]

i've been developing for a while, yet i still make the same mistake as i used to

underestimating the time something will take to code

[lavish hemlock]

Btw just a note, val is final, var isn't.

[patent horizon]

whys this bad?

[lavish hemlock]

And uhh

In Kotlin, the default access modifier (AKA which one applies when none are specified) is public, not package-private

[lost matrix]

https://gist.github.com/FlorianMineCrypto/1f0dde26ffaf279ad855e39f39a2504c

[lavish hemlock]

Kotlin's version of package-private is internal

[misty current]

naming your main plugin class Main is considered bad because 1) a plugin main class is not code that can run by itself, so naming it main is not explicative and 2) imagine if every plugin named their main class Main and you needed to call some methods from a plugin main class, it would be painful to find the right Main class

and static abusing... do i really have to talk about static abuse

[lavish hemlock]

Not to mention that

[lost matrix]

Isnt it for the whole module then?

[misty current]

you can probably dependency inject there

[lean gull]

anyoneee?

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah, but it's the closest equivalent

[misty current]

someone sent you a link before

[lean gull]

to a book, that'll make it 100% harder

[half hare]

I am getting

invalid target release -> 1.18.2

Even though this morning I successfully installed multiple times

[lavish hemlock]

Name collisions require specifying the fully-qualified class name when used.

[lavish hemlock]

There's an online version :p

[lean gull]

i need a video tutorial with words that are for beginners

[misty current]

there is not a video tutorial for everything

what you want to do is not for beginners

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah

[lean gull]

then what do i need to learn for it

[lavish hemlock]

Lexing/parsing is difficult

[misty current]

from what i understood, you want to code an interpreter

[lost matrix]

Search online. This is something quite specific and you will most likely not find step-by-step tutorials but
rather trade readings that go into the technical details but not implementations.

[lavish hemlock]

I mean, in a lang like Java it's easier

[lavish hemlock]

You can find step-by-step tutorials. I sent him one of the best.

[misty current]

java has some useful tools yes

[half hare]

Anyone can point me to a solution? :)

[lean gull]

i'm currently watching this and i only understand like 25% of what he's saying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m7ubrdbWQU&list=PLGNbPb3dQJ_5FTPfFIg28UxuMpu7k0eT4&ab_channel=DmitrySoshnikov

[misty current]

such as matchers

[lost matrix]

Thats because you still need more experience with programming itself.

[lavish hemlock]

Either way, CraftingInterpreters is one of the best guides for... well, crafting interpreters.

[misty current]

i'll check it a bit later, thanks

[lean gull]

what do i need to learn for it

[misty current]

learning to understand something is not a straight path

we can't really guide you

[quiet ice]

what is your pom/build.gradle file?

[misty current]

you need to accept your limits and go back to code something easier

[lean gull]

i wanna work my way up to it

but for that i need to know what i need to learn

[lost matrix]

There is quite a bit of meta knowledge like tree data structures that is mandatory for this and there is
transitive knowledge like reflections that will def help you understand but is not needed.

[misty current]

i can't make a language parser nor i want to learn to right now so i can't guide you

i've seen you very often come here and asking things out of your reach and then asking what should you learn

you need to ask it to yourself not us ;-;

[lost matrix]

I would suggest you to lay this plugin down for now and write some more approachable plugins.

[meager arch]

Can i put questions for a scoreboard plugin thingy here too

[quiet ice]

Why not?

[patent horizon]

is there any ways to declare multiple variables on one line like in python or kotlin?

[lost matrix]

If you are programming it or using its api then sure

[quiet ice]

int x = 10, y = 0;

[meager arch]

Well im not programming one, but ill probably need one and i dont find anything

[lost matrix]

private final int x, y, z;

[meager arch]

i have no idea how to do that

[quiet ice]

then it is #help-server you need to ask

[meager arch]

alright

[slate pendant]

Hello! Does it matter how many event listeners I register? Is it better to have just a couple large ones or I can make a bunch of small listeners?

[fallen sandal]

then it will reduce?

[river oracle]

Yea don't shade every dependency

I would exclude every dependency you can depend on at run time eg vault

An example of something you would have to shade would be guice

[midnight shore]

ty

[ivory sleet]

Doesn’t matter at all

[dire salmon]

Is there a way to make gradients in strings other than Minimessage or lots of ChatColor.of()?

[slate pendant]

ok, thank you

just maybe it was a thing, in other api's it happens

[ivory sleet]

Normal ChatColor::translateAlternateColorCodes can be used

But it gets rather verbose

[river oracle]

Make a method to do chatcolor.of unless you hate yourself

[dire salmon]

Thx

[lean gull]

how do i do a chance of something? like 25% chance to run some code

[lapis lark]

?(

[quaint mantle]

you can make java get random int

[ivory sleet]

That’s in regards to scoreboard

[river oracle]

Look up how to do random chance in regular Java on stack overflow the method will be the same with spigot

[ivory sleet]

Through code Team::hasEntry can be used to determine whether a player (by name) is contained within a team

[rough drift]

if(random.nextBoolean() && random.nextBoolean())

iirc that should be 25%

[river oracle]

Use ints :!

[ivory sleet]

Yup

[rough drift]

no why

using nextBool gives a 50%

[lapis lark]

So I should get Main scoreboard (For example), iterate all teams and check if that team contains both players, right?

[rough drift]

and the chance of getting both true is 25% iirc

[ivory sleet]

I mean a nextInt(4) == 0 works as well

[lapis lark]

Because /team command not seems really connected to scoreboard

[river oracle]

What if you want a 23% chance in the future or something along those lines

[ivory sleet]

then they simply just change the implementation

[river oracle]

Ah conclure am I allowed to post a premium plugin that depends on a free plugin I feel like I should be able to but the rules are weird

[ivory sleet]

Yes

That’d be fine 🙂

[river oracle]

I'd assume the line would be depending on another payed dependency

[ivory sleet]

Yeah

[river oracle]

Ahhh ok thx

[lean gull]

wat
String splitMessage = message.split("\"");

[misty current]

String[] splitMessage = message.split("\"");

[lean gull]

isn't that an array

[misty current]

yes, when you split a String you get multiple Strings depending on how many matches of the splitter you have

[lean gull]

ooo riet

[quiet ice]

You probably are looking for message.substring(message.indexOf('\"') + 1)

or message.substring(0, message.indexOf('\"')), depending on what you want to do

[lean gull]

i wanna make it so you can make the "bot" say something, with an input like this:

derpbot say "hello"

though i just realised, that means the player can't use quotation marks in the message

how do i fix that

[quiet ice]

Escaping, html entities and whatnot

[lean gull]

huh

[cosmic fjord]

i found a server where you can use the command /feed and you get heal effect and saturation but theres no minecraft "effect" like blc and lunar dont show potion effects when you use that command

how does that work?

[quiet ice]

try reformulating your question, I am not sure that I understood it correctly

[lean gull]

i think they mean that they're currently using a potion effect to feed the player

focus, you can just set the player's hunger

[cosmic fjord]

with player.setFoodLevel?

[lean gull]

yes

[cosmic fjord]

i tryed this already

I set the parameter to 20 but you get no regeneration

[quiet ice]

Oh so you just want to feed a player
