[lime jolt]

like there username

[dawn hazel]

HashMap<UUID, Long> cooldown = new HashMap<>();
if(cooldown.containsKey(sender.getName())) {
    int cooldownTime = 30;
        long timeLeft = (cooldown.get(p.getUniqueId()) + cooldownTime) - System.currentTimeMillis();
        if(timeLeft>0) {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Your on cooldown for " + timeLeft + " seconds!");
            return true;
        }
}

cooldown.remove(p.getUniqueId());
cooldown.put(p.getUniqueId(), System.currentTimeMillis());
``` made the code more readable but im still having the same issue

wdym

in what case

[lime jolt]

like if you type

/hello

it says hello (username) petar

like

hello Skygamez

is there a way to get the players username

[dawn hazel]

sender.sendmessage("Hello " + sender.getName);

[lime jolt]

aright thanks

is there a way to only allow some to tpye the comand once

[dawn hazel]

limit command use based on username?

[lime jolt]

yes

like lets say u can only type it

once

and then have to wait until someone else types

[young knoll]

Put the latest executor uuid into a variable

[lime jolt]

no clue how

like this is what I got so far

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class HelloCommand implements CommandExecutor{
    
    static int playerCount = 0;

    public HelloCommand(Main plugin) {
        plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(this);
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players may execute this command!");
            return true;
        }
        
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        
        playerCount++;

            p.sendMessage("Hi!");
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(sender.getName() + " has joined sumo | Player Count: " + playerCount +"/2");
            
            

        
        return true;
    }
    ```

and I dont want someone to be able to join more than once

but currently they can

[dawn hazel]

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    if (sender.getName() != "petarpotato") {
        sender.sendMessage("You are not allowed to run this command!");
        return true;
    }

    someLogicHere();
    return true;
}```

[lime jolt]

but then they cant type it the first time around

[dawn hazel]

what do you mean

[lime jolt]

and its specific to petarpotato

let me refraze

[young knoll]

When player runs command, set variable to player uuid

[lime jolt]

I only want it to allow you to do the command once

[lime jolt]

how would I go about doing that

[young knoll]

Also, when player runs command check that the last uuid is either null or not their uuid

Cast sender to player (after checking) and use getUniqueID

[lime jolt]

umm, how would I cast a sender to player and then getUniqueId

sry I am really new to developing on minecraft

new question that will solve all old questions

how do I store the players name

can I just make an array of strings

and store name in it?

[young knoll]

Sure

[lime jolt]

aright

[young knoll]

But I would use uuid

And also a hashset for fast .contains

[lime jolt]

for now, I think that might be to advanced, I have no idea what that stuff is, but still thanks though for explaining thought process

[pearl ibex]

is there any way to make a item stored in an itemstack wearable?

[dawn hazel]

bump

[fossil lily]

How can I grab the player who dropped the item?

With this method

[dawn hazel]

PlayerPickupItemEvent is deprecated i think

[fossil lily]

Yea I know but it makes sense in my case

[dawn hazel]

hmm

[lime jolt]

guys does anyone know how I would make multiple comands in one plugin

this is what I got so far

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class HelloCommand implements CommandExecutor{
    
    static int playerCount = 0;
    static ArrayList<String> array = new ArrayList<String>();

    public HelloCommand(Main plugin) {
        plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(this);
    }
    
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players may execute this command!");
            return true;
        }
        
        boolean canUJoin = true;
        
        for(int i = 0; i < array.size(); i++) {
            
            if(array.get(i).equals(sender.getName())) {
                canUJoin = false;
            }
            
        }
        
        if(canUJoin) {
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        
        playerCount++;

            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(sender.getName() + " has joined sumo | Player Count: " + playerCount +"/2");
            
        array.add(sender.getName());
        }

        
        return true;
    }
    
}```

and it happens when you type hello

[dawn hazel]

put the onCommand in a separate class

[lime jolt]

but if you type like "hi" it would do something els

e

[lime jolt]

eek, explain plz

i understand how to make a diffrent class and all

[dawn hazel]

public class CommandClass implements CommandExecutor {
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players may execute this command!");
            return true;
        }
        
        boolean canUJoin = true;
        
        for(int i = 0; i < array.size(); i++) {
            
            if(array.get(i).equals(sender.getName())) {
                canUJoin = false;
            }
            
        }
        
        if(canUJoin) {
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        
        playerCount++;

            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(sender.getName() + " has joined sumo | Player Count: " + playerCount +"/2");
            
        array.add(sender.getName());
        }

        
        return true;
    }
    
}```

plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new CommandClass());

[lime jolt]

?

[dawn hazel]

make a new class

and put your onCommand function in it

make sure the class implements commandexecutor tho

then go to your onEnable() in your main class

and replace the command executor line with java plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new YourClassName());

[lime jolt]

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin{
        
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        
        new HelloCommand(this);
    }
}

?

[dawn hazel]

replace new HelloCommand with

plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand(this));```

[lime jolt]

but how would that make it so that a player can type multiple comands in same plugin

[dawn hazel]

then you can make another class

implement commandexecutor

make a command

then

[lime jolt]

add

plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand(this));

again?

[dawn hazel]

yeah

[lime jolt]

but change "helloi"

[dawn hazel]

however change HelloCommand to your new class

[lime jolt]

to soemthing elkse

[dawn hazel]

yeah

[lime jolt]

why do I need this

plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand(this));

instead of

what I had before

new HelloCommand(this);

ohhh is it because the "hello" and the "other thing" is diffrent

[dawn hazel]

that tells the server that when you do /hello to execute the code from HelloCommand

[lime jolt]

OHHH

okay, and do I need to change my yml in someway?

[dawn hazel]

if you dont already have the command defined in plugin.yml

youll have to do that

[lime jolt]

aright

[dawn hazel]

otherwise it will throw an error on enable

[pearl ibex]

is there any way to make a item stored in an itemstack wearable?

[lime jolt]

would it be like

commands:
hello:
unjoin:

oh also, it says there is no "plugin" defined in my Main

[dawn hazel]

yeah

plugin isnt defined

youll have to replace plugin with "this"

[sharp flare]

show main class and plugin.yml

[dawn hazel]

instead of plugin.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand(this));

do this.getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand(this));

[dawn hazel]

and no

[lime jolt]

oh okay

[lime jolt]

???

[dawn hazel]

you have to do

commands:
  hello:
    description: something description
  unjoin:
    description: something description```

[quaint mantle]

no you dojnt

[lime jolt]

do u need discibtopn

[quaint mantle]

who told you that

[quaint mantle]

no

[lime jolt]

oh

[quaint mantle]

this works

[lime jolt]

oh ok

[dawn hazel]

not for me

[quaint mantle]

it does

do it again

[dawn hazel]

if i just define the command and no description or anything

doesnt work

[quaint mantle]

it does

[dawn hazel]

odd

[fossil lily]

What would I do if I wanted to make it so that only the player that dropped the item can pick it up? As in I dont want other players picking up other people's items.

[dawn hazel]

check if the person thats picking it up is the same person that dropped it

if not

cancel the event

[fossil lily]

But I cant figure out how to check who dropped it

[maiden thicket]

how would i change the player's nametag?

(if i have to use nms im ok w that xd)

[fossil lily]

I guess I can set a PCD

On the item

[dawn hazel]

ig you could detect for when the item is dropped and then store a hashmap variable for the item and who dropped it

then when an item is picked up compare the person who dropped it to the person who picked it up

[fossil lily]

I was thinking about that

[lime jolt]

nothing works, ._.

commands no longer work

does anyone know why this code no work ._.

cant do any commands >_<

[dawn hazel]

You need to return true at the end here

[dawn hazel]

Show your plugin.yml

And did you get any errors in console

[lime jolt]

name: MyPlugin
version: 1.0
main: org.potatocode.Main

commands:
join:
leave:

[lime jolt]

I dont think so, let me check

[dawn hazel]

Try putting a description

commands:
join:
description: some description

[lime jolt]

ado you know what the link was to send logs

do*

[dawn hazel]

Also you have HelloCommand defined twice

[lime jolt]

explain

[dawn hazel]

public HelloCommand(Main plugin) {
plugin.getCommand("join").setExecutor(this);
}

public HelloCommand() {
}

[lime jolt]

that is because I needed an overloaded constructor

in my UnJoin.java

so I could access some variables

without having to create stuff

or run the other stuff

[dawn hazel]

You don’t need the second hello command

[maiden thicket]

does anyone know how i could change a player's nametag?

[dawn hazel]

And you don’t need to define the join command outside of the main class

Make the variables you want to be accessed from other classes static

[lime jolt]

oh yeah totaly forgot, they are static

but they are already public

so I dont need acessors or setters

[lime jolt]

where

[dawn hazel]

public means is that it can be accessed if the class is instantiated

if a variable is private it cant be accessed outside of the class at all

[dawn hazel]

you dont need to do plugin.getCommand("join").setExecutor(this); in a class that isnt the main class

[lime jolt]

Could not load 'plugins/HelloWorld.jar' in folder 'plugins'

thats what it says in logs

[dawn hazel]

do you have duplicate jars?

[lime jolt]

no

[dawn hazel]

hmm

[lime jolt]

I have not tried the discibtion thing one sec

[dawn hazel]

check your plugin folder and closely check to make sure you do not have a duplicate jar

[lime jolt]

100% sure dont have dulipcate

[dawn hazel]

did you check?

and did you make sure there isnt any HelloWorld (1).jars?

[lime jolt]

nope

there is like only 6 files

[dawn hazel]

you should check then

[lime jolt]

I did, and there is none

only 1

[dawn hazel]

hmm

can you send the full stacktrace?

[lime jolt]

what is stacktrace?

[dawn hazel]

the error it sends

?stacktrace

damn

[lime jolt]

?

wait

U ARE A GENIUS

it worked the diciption

I changed that and it worked

it could have been something else

but it worke

d

[dawn hazel]

huh

[lime jolt]

idk how

BUT IT DID

[dawn hazel]

whats diciption

[lime jolt]

join:

disrbtion: dhaiujndksa

in the yml

[dawn hazel]

description?

[lime jolt]

yes

english

spelling

[dawn hazel]

yeah

[lime jolt]

my code is bad but the command WORKS

less gooo

[dawn hazel]

👍

[fossil lily]

Can I force the hashmap to add a new value instead of overriding a different one? I want to have multiple with the same UUID

[vocal cloud]

You want two exactly the same keys?

[sharp flare]

UUID and use list as value?

[fossil lily]

Yea hearing that from another person makes me feel dumb

Nevermind

[quaint mantle]

is it possible for me to use skullMeta to get a skull like so:
https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/decoration/2970-chest

[lime jolt]

does anyone know how to tp the player into a specific x and y coordinante when they type the command

[quaint mantle]

just x and y?

or do you mean XYZ

[lime jolt]

yes

sry

[quaint mantle]

use Location, also make sure to search up things before you ask questions here @lime jolt

[lime jolt]

oh wait sry my question was worded terribly

how do I make it so that they cant move from that position

like they are sutck

stuck

or, I will just spam teliport them

[tall dragon]

you can teleport them to their old location in the player move event

[lime jolt]

okokok

also does anyone know what the term is used for display something to someones screen

like a hello message

but not in the chat

[earnest forum]

or cancel the player move event

[quaint mantle]

event.SetCancelled(true)

[lime jolt]

and on there screen

[lime jolt]

oh okay

[quaint mantle]

yw lol

[tall dragon]

like a title?

[earnest forum]

oh a title?

[lime jolt]

if thats what it is called

[earnest forum]

#setCancelled (no uppercase s)

[tall dragon]

title is big text in middle of screen

[lime jolt]

yes

how could. make that display on specific players screen

[earnest forum]

yes do Player#sendTitle(title, subtitle, fadeIn, stay, fadeOut)

title and subtitle is a string

and the 3 numbers are integers

in ticks

so if u put 20 for stay it wil stay for a second

[lime jolt]

aright thanks

[lime jolt]

for Player

can I add the username instead/

[earnest forum]

thats the instance of the player

no not username

the instance of the Player object

[lime jolt]

is there any way to make it go to a specific username

[tall dragon]

for what reason?

[river oracle]

yea Bukkit#getPlayer(String name)

[earnest forum]

where do u want to send the title in?

an event?

[quaint mantle]

Any way to set an items NBT tag?

doesnt seem that I can

[tall dragon]

yes

why not use pdc tho

[lime jolt]

an event I think

[tall dragon]

ur using 1.8?

[river oracle]

if ur sending it in an event just use e.getplayer

[earnest forum]

which event

[lime jolt]

so would it be Bukkit#getPlayer(String name)#sendTitle(title, subtitle, fadeIn, stay, fadeOut)

[quaint mantle]

no trying to set a skulls texture n such

https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/decoration/2970-chest

[earnest forum]

what event

are u using

[quaint mantle]

wanna set it to that

[lime jolt]

idk ;-;

[river oracle]

no check if the player doesn't exist first null checks are important

[tall dragon]

then use SkullMeta

[quaint mantle]

SkullMeta doesnt support that?

[lime jolt]

I already check

[river oracle]

how do you not know what event?

[tall dragon]

sec, i might have a method for you

[lime jolt]

idk I am new to this stuff started like 5 hours ago

[river oracle]

it should say lol

like PlayerInteractEvent

[lime jolt]

where

[river oracle]

in the event handler you made?

if an event is the trigger your the one who specified the event

[lime jolt]

umm, okay I dont think it is an event

[river oracle]

a command maybe

[lime jolt]

command

yes

essentialy 2 people are typing a comand

that queues them in game

and now I am making count down

[river oracle]

in that case it'd be if sender instance of player logic

[lime jolt]

appear on only there screen

[earnest forum]

do you have a CommandSender object?

[lime jolt]

but it is not just the sender

it is the other guy 2

[tall dragon]

public static ItemStack setSkullOwnerNMS(ItemStack is, String url) {
        return setSkullOwnerNMS(is, url, UUID.randomUUID());
    }


    public static ItemStack setSkullOwnerNMS(ItemStack is, String url, UUID uuid) {
        try {
            byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(url.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

            String decoded = new String(decodedBytes).replace("{\"textures\":{\"SKIN\":{\"url\":\"", "").replace("\"}}}", "");

            SkullMeta headMeta = (SkullMeta) is.getItemMeta();
            GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(uuid, null);
            byte[] encodedData = Base64.getEncoder().encode(String.format("{textures:{SKIN:{url:\"%s\"}}}", decoded).getBytes());
            profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", new String(encodedData)));
            Field profileField;
            try {
                profileField = headMeta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");
                profileField.setAccessible(true);
                profileField.set(headMeta, profile);
            } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            is.setItemMeta(headMeta);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        return is;
    }

[earnest forum]

so you want the sender and then the first argument

[river oracle]

i'd make something to mange your queues in that case

[earnest forum]

./testcommand (player)

[lime jolt]

I have that

I store all my players

in a string of arrays

array of strings

[earnest forum]

no

do an array of players

[lime jolt]

I have the usernames

[tall dragon]

@quaint mantle this will take the value in section 'Other, Value:' as input

[earnest forum]

why would u do string?

[river oracle]

all playes?

why

store UUID if anything

though storing every player online is a bit much

[lime jolt]

strings are all I know

how would I use Player objects

how would I store it

[tall dragon]

you dont

[lime jolt]

Player[] array = new Player[10];

array[0] = player?

[tall dragon]

no

[lime jolt]

?!?!?!

[tall dragon]

dont store player objects

[river oracle]

don't store players lol

[tall dragon]

only in very specific scenerio's you can

[lime jolt]

I am storining there names in a string

[tall dragon]

not this case

[river oracle]

you shouldn't even store every player on your server in strings

[earnest forum]

yes

[lime jolt]

its not every player

its 2

[tall dragon]

if you want to remember a player use their uuid

[lime jolt]

yes?!?!?!?

[earnest forum]

always use Player object never use string

[quaint mantle]

GameProfile doesnt exist, and Property doesnt either

[earnest forum]

yes do Player[]

[tender shard]

what are you trying to do? that stuff is not needed anymore

[river oracle]

uuid

[lime jolt]

alright thanks, ima try all of this stuff out

[tender shard]

you can access textures etc with API

[quaint mantle]

This was for me

[lime jolt]

idk how to use that

[tender shard]

okay so what are you trying to do? 😄

[lime jolt]

ima just try making an array of Player

[quaint mantle]

Turn this into a PlayerSkull https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/decoration/2970-chest

[river oracle]

player doccumentation on spigot

[earnest forum]

uuid only for storage

[quaint mantle]

by getting its NBT tag data

[lime jolt]

ok

[earnest forum]

player is fine for a temporary queue

[lime jolt]

alright

[tender shard]

SkullMeta#setPlayerProfile

[quaint mantle]

{
"function": "set_nbt",
"tag": "{display:{Name:"Chest"},SkullOwner:{Id:"f565f047-aef7-436c-b0d6-5b7e95edd8e4",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvNGNkM2M0NWQ3YjgzODRlOGExOTYzZTRkYTBhZTZiMmRhZWIyYTNlOTdhYzdhMjhmOWViM2QzOTU5NzI1Nzk5ZiJ9fX0="}]}}}"
}

[quaint mantle]

Its not a profile however

Its a URL that generates it

[young knoll]

You can easily make a skull from the texture url with the PlayerProfile API

[tender shard]

you can clone profiles and then set their textures from the URL

[quaint mantle]

Ill see

[hybrid spoke]

why would you store the object itself if you could just store the identifier?

[young knoll]

Idk why you’d clone them

But yeah

[hybrid spoke]

what you always should do

[tender shard]

but anyway, here's my SkullUtils class: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/SkullUtils.java

[tall dragon]

my code takes the base64 encoded data and creates a skull out of it. but this indeed was for 1.8

[lime jolt]

guys do you know if I can do Player p = (Player) sender;

and then do

p.getName();

[young knoll]

Yes

[tender shard]

if sender is a Player, sure

[lime jolt]

alright thanks

[crystal magnet]

you probably want to check instanceof first

[young knoll]

Assuming the sender is a player

[lime jolt]

indeed they will be, thanks for all the help

[young knoll]

Is it bad practice to use a Boolean for something that isn’t true/false

Like day/night

[quaint mantle]

@tender shard Again, GameProfile doesnt exist for me

Nor does @NotNull

[tender shard]

i tend to use enums

[young knoll]

Figured enums would be better

[hybrid spoke]

i would say so. an enum would be much cleaner and more understandable

[young knoll]

GameProfile is part of NMS

[quaint mantle]

NMS?

[young knoll]

NotNull is a jetbrains annotation

[tender shard]

you should just use the new PlayerProfile stuff instead

[tall dragon]

you need to run buildtools and depend on that

[young knoll]

I mean technically it’s not NMS, but it’s part of the raw server

[tender shard]

then you don't have to mess with NMS stuff

[tender shard]

yep it's part of com.mojang.authlib

[young knoll]

Mhm

It’s open source

[tender shard]

and one would have to manually install it to the maven repo

[tall dragon]

but for recent versions i recommend looking at mfnalex's skullutils

[young knoll]

Did he update it to not be legacy

[tender shard]

my SkullUtils uses the GameProfile things

[young knoll]

Booo

Fix it

[tender shard]

I only discovered the PlayerProfile API 2 hours ago

[young knoll]

TL;DR you’ll want to use Bukkit.create(Player?)Profile and PlayerProfile.setTexture

[tender shard]

(however my SkullUtils also has methods to set skull blocks into the world so it'd be useless to change to the API methods anway, since I still need GameProfiles ayway)

[young knoll]

The profile API works for skulls too

[quaint mantle]

How do I install buildtools into my plugin?

Cause clearly thats a requirement

[young knoll]

Lol

No

Run buildtools

[tall dragon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[quaint mantle]

Wdym run buildtools

[tall dragon]

read dis

[young knoll]

For the version you are using

[tender shard]

oh awesome

[young knoll]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/Skull.html#setOwnerProfile(org.bukkit.profile.PlayerProfile)

For refrence

[tender shard]

buuut

[lime jolt]

does anyone know what "yaw" and "pitch" are in positioning

[tall dragon]

yes

[tender shard]

there's still need for my "legacy" way: which is base64 textures

[young knoll]

Why’s that

[tender shard]

the API only allows to use a URL

not a raw base64 string

[lime jolt]

why do I need them

[young knoll]

You’ll never guess what that base64 decodes too

[tall dragon]

its where they are looking

[tender shard]

yaw = left/right, pitch = up/down

[lime jolt]

coooool

[hybrid spoke]

head goes ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬅️ ➡️

[lime jolt]

so by what does it go up by

[young knoll]

(It’s a url)

[lime jolt]

like is 1 = 1 pixel

[tender shard]

wdym? the URLs aren't just the base64 string

[quaint mantle]

Okay but where do I put buildtools.

[tall dragon]

in any folder

[tender shard]

doesn't matter

[quaint mantle]

Okay..

[earnest forum]

run it

[young knoll]

Send me a head base64 string

[tall dragon]

i got it on my desktop in a folder for example

[earnest forum]

same

easy access to the jar

[tender shard]

noobs

I have it at /c/mctest/buildtools

[tall dragon]

:(

[tender shard]

boons!

[hybrid spoke]

:(

[tender shard]

lol

god actually changed the pfp

[hybrid spoke]

im a man of my word

[tender shard]

discord is slow

[hybrid spoke]

its only for this server

[lime jolt]

does anyone know why this is getting mad at me

Location loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), -16.5, 67, -22.5, 0, 0);

[tender shard]

oh ok

[young knoll]

Gotta parse it a bit but that’s fine

[tender shard]

hm okay didnt know that

that's awesome

[young knoll]

Who’s the boon now

:p

[tender shard]

?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.

[tender shard]

people who have buildtools on their desktop

[young knoll]

Mines in a folder on my desktop

Does that count

[tender shard]

yes

boon

[lime jolt]

says Cannot instantiate the type DocumentationTool.Location

[tender shard]

then use the proper imports

the correct import is inside org.bukkit

[young knoll]

Ugh I have to compile something that uses Lombok

[tender shard]

where's the problem

[lime jolt]

do u know where I can find the correct import for it

[young knoll]

I have to install Lombok

[tender shard]

yes, in org.bukkit

[young knoll]

Gross

[tender shard]

huhu no

[tall dragon]

he just told you

[tender shard]

you don't have to install anything

[sharp flare]

Any website that shows block data if its orientable or implements directional

[tender shard]

if it's in the pom.xml, just do "mvn install" and done

[tall dragon]

org.bukkit.Location

[tender shard]

lombok does not require anything to be installed

[lime jolt]

but where can u see all the imports

[lime jolt]

thx

is there a site?

[tender shard]

bruh I told you twice already it's in org.bukkit

yes there's a site:

[tall dragon]

i mean most people just know

[lime jolt]

i see

[young knoll]

My IDE doesn’t support it from maven

[tender shard]

whut

IDE are you using

[young knoll]

Eclipse

[tender shard]

eclipse 100% supports it

the example video on the lombok website was made in eclipse

[young knoll]

Didn’t seem to like it when I did it the other day

Hmm

[tender shard]

lombok also works fine without any IDE

[young knoll]

True

Why am I opening the project in an ide

Why am I slow

[tender shard]

sometimes people think lombok hacks into the IDE or similar, but that's just not true, lombok is awesome and works just fine directly with javac :3

[young knoll]

How

Surly it must do something so the IDE recognizes the methods that don’t exist before compiling

[tall dragon]

pretty sure the ide just adds support for lombok

[tender shard]

yeah that's normal annotation processing

[tall dragon]

not the other way arround

[tender shard]

I wanted to say - lombok does not REQUIRE any intellij plugins so that it compiles

but sure, intelliJ must process the lombo annotations to understand there are the generated methods

but even if you wouldn't have any lombok plugin, it would compile from within intellij

[young knoll]

Huh

[tender shard]

or whereever

[young knoll]

Guess I need to stop huffing gas

[tender shard]

lol

[young knoll]

But yeah I can just compile from command line

Am not smort

[tender shard]

lombok is awesome just because of the logo

[quaint mantle]

done downloading buildtools

now what?

[tender shard]

?bt

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[quaint mantle]

I read the site.

[earnest forum]

go to

1 sec

[quaint mantle]

It doesnt tell me how to install it on the plugin

[young knoll]

Oh FFS

[earnest forum]

Spigot->Spigot-API->target

and then add the "shaded" jar

[tender shard]

you have no idea what buildtools is, right?

[earnest forum]

as your dependency

[quaint mantle]

0 Clue.

[young knoll]

I can't compile it still because it needs a signature

sdgdsfgdf

[tender shard]

it builds the spigot etc source code and .jar files for you

[earnest forum]

Spigot->Spigot-API->target
in the buildtools directory

[tender shard]

a signature?

what signature?

[quaint mantle]

Okay found the jar, as a dependancy?

In my plugin or

[earnest forum]

and then add the shaded jar

yes

as a dependency

[quaint mantle]

@earnest forum implimentation or compileOnly

[earnest forum]

what does that mean

[tender shard]

compileOnly

[earnest forum]

what ide are u using

[quaint mantle]

k

Like this?

[tender shard]

it's the gradle equivalent to maven's <scope>

[quaint mantle]

compileOnly 'spigot-api-1.18.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded'

[earnest forum]

thx

[tender shard]

compileOnly = provided

while implementation basically means <scope>compile</scope>

so it also gets shaded

[quaint mantle]

It states that its an invalid module notation

Was I suppost to place the file somewhere?

[young knoll]

Make sure you're using Java16 JDK in your PATH.
Compile main-project without signature by using debug profile: mvn install -Pdebug

[tender shard]

no, that doesn't even make sense

[tender shard]

no idea what that means lol

[quaint mantle]

oh.

soo how do I set it properly?

[tender shard]

you have to add com.mojang.authlib to your dependencies

[quaint mantle]

how do I do that

just add it manually again

as an implementation

or

[tender shard]

I have no idea about gradle

in maven it works like this:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.mojang</groupId>
            <artifactId>authlib</artifactId>
            <version>3.2.38</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

but gradle, no idea

[young knoll]

It's using the maven-jarsigner-plugin

If the jar isn't signed it won't run without a JVM argument

And the server I am doing it for has a shitty host that doesn't allow custom JVM args

[sharp flare]

does a tag for terracotta blocks exist

[tender shard]

oooh

I have no idea about that

I have never signed any .jar files

[young knoll]

Blah

Quickshop is pissing me off

[tender shard]

this one? https://github.com/PotatoCraft-Studio/QuickShop-Reremake

[young knoll]

They pushed an update for 1.18.2 a week ago, it's not on SpigotMc, it's not on BukkitDev

Their jenkins is a 404

And I can't compile it locally

[tender shard]

?

[young knoll]

yes

[tender shard]

hm let me see

[tall dragon]

i think there does not

[sharp flare]

Aight imma make an enum for it instead

[young knoll]

Just make an EnumSet

[tender shard]

yes https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Tag.html#TERRACOTTA

[sharp flare]

added only in 1.18?

[tender shard]

no idea

[sharp flare]

My spigot jar is 1.17.1 rn

[young knoll]

Let me look

NVM the site I use doesn't have 1.18

[sharp flare]

Appreciate yall

[young knoll]

Nope no terracotta tag on 1.17

[tender shard]

wow quickshop runs a million tests

more like SlowShop

[sharp flare]

Aight thanks, imma make an enum for it along side other blocks that implements directional, bisected or orientable

[quaint mantle]

@tender shard figured it out lol

compileOnly 'org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.18.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded'

had to search here

https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/spigotmc/spigot-api/

for the correct repo

@tender shard question: is maven better than gradle?

starting to see more ppl using maven than gradle

[maiden thicket]

i've seen more people switch to gradle than use maven

[young knoll]

Honestly I'd say its preference

[hasty prawn]

^

[young knoll]

Gradle can do more though apparently, which is why paper moved to it

[hasty prawn]

Gradle is more complicated, but it's less verbose and more powerful

[young knoll]

But I doubt you have to worry about that for a plugin

[hasty prawn]

I do enjoy not having my dependencies be like 7 lines each though

[quaint mantle]

compileOnly 'com.mojang:authlib:1.5.21'

am I compiling this right?

Its not working

*i cant access com.mojang.authlib

[hasty prawn]

?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.

[hasty prawn]

Refresh gradle

[quaint mantle]

I legit just stated what was wrong

k

@hasty prawn nothing

nvm

[hasty prawn]

Lol

The little elephant with 2 arrows button

[young knoll]

Do you have the repo for authlib

Idk if it's on central

[maiden thicket]

kms for using reflections to change a players nametag

😢

[young knoll]

maven {
url = 'https://libraries.minecraft.net/'
}

Appears to be the repo for authlib

[tender shard]

no

both are equally good

imho gradle is way more complicated

both can do the same things

[young knoll]

I prefer gradle for the less verbose build file

But I agree that it can be a bit complex to use

And documentation is pain to find

[tender shard]

yeah gradle files are shorter, but also much more complicated to read etc

but as said, both are totally fine and neither is better than the other

it's like BMW vs Mercedes or Canon vs Nikon or Ubuntu vs Debian etc etc etc

[warm light]

if(event.getRightClicked().getType().equals(EntityType.VILLAGER)){
e.setCancelled(true);
}

this should disable villager trading right?

[tender shard]

what event is it?

[warm light]

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

[young knoll]

Hmm I think I do exactly that

Let me check

[tender shard]

yeah that should work

but you should rather use == instead of equals()

[young knoll]

Yep I do that

I use the PlayerInteractEntityEvent tho

Idk if it makes a difference

[quaint mantle]

implementation 'de.jeff_media:JeffLib:7.7.0-20220309.181717-13@jar'

Any reason why this dependancy may not load?

[tender shard]

I already checked and have no idea. they seem to be using the correct repository, etc. here's the full link https://hub.jeff-media.com/nexus/#browse/browse:jeff-media-public:de%2Fjeff_media%2FJeffLib%2F7.7.0-SNAPSHOT%2F7.7.0-20220309.181717-13%2FJeffLib-7.7.0-20220309.181717-13.jar

[warm light]

Still not working

[tender shard]

add some messages

one message above your if statement, and one inside

to see if that code actually runs and if yes, whether the if statement returns true

[ancient jackal]

is it registered

[tender shard]

^

just because it is registered doesn't mean it'll run in this case

for example, it might be the wrong event

[ancient jackal]

that's true but I have spent half of a night debugging to figure out why something wasnt running

and it just wasnt registered

[tender shard]

oooh sorry I misread

I thought you wrote "it is registered"

and not "is it registered"

[warm light]

Event working and I registered it. but its not canceling

[tender shard]

so you have added debug messages?

and those get printed?

[warm light]

Yes

[ancient jackal]

try using the parent class PlayerInteractEntityEvent

[tender shard]

everytime you right click a villager?

[tender shard]

well but they said their debug lines were printed so that wouldnt change anything

[warm light]

Event is working

[ancient jackal]

true, but there's this note Note that the client may sometimes spuriously send this packet in addition to PlayerInteractEntityEvent. Users are advised to listen to this (parent) class unless specifically required.

[warm light]

alr

[ancient jackal]

so maybte you would have to cancel the parent one

maybe it'll work,maybe it wont

[tender shard]

yes but since they said their debug message was printed, it must be the correct event

[warm light]

oh yes. its working now

[ancient jackal]

true but maybe something is wrong and you cant cancel from the child

[tender shard]

then your debug messages couldn't have been printed.......

[ancient jackal]

that's a problem for md_5 someday then, can't cancel event from InteractEntityAt whatever it's caleld

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

[tender shard]

I have just checked

right clicking a villager does NOT call the child event

so the statement that you have added debug messages and they were printed cannot be true

[young knoll]

wait

[tender shard]

right clicking a villager does NOT call PlayerInteractatEntityEvent

[ancient jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/cap-cappinsir-gif-23731488

[young knoll]

Have we determined which is the child finally

Woo we have

The At version is for armorstands btw

[ancient jackal]

the child event says Represents an event that is called when a player right clicks an entity that also contains the location where the entity was clicked., I'd still never use it and just do e.getRightClicked().getLocation();

[young knoll]

No no

[ancient jackal]

yes yes I would

[young knoll]

Not that location

The point on the entity where the player clicked

[ancient jackal]

oh that's very niche

[young knoll]

Used for armorstands since they have different functions depending on what part you click

[wet breach]

I am not sure why the API docs were confusing, was pretty straight forward

[amber marsh]

hey, how is it going. I am back with more questions XD. I am trying to add to a list of strings from config string list, but it keeps giving me, what looks like, a null error??

[wet breach]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[wet breach]

also, are you sure the data you are trying to get from the config is indeed of a list type?

[drowsy helm]

show your code

[tender shard]

then your list is null

[wet breach]

yaml has a specific requirement in how it must be formatted for it to be consided a list

[amber marsh]

it looks like this

7MSD_class:

• Undead
• Madness

[wet breach]

alright, then its something with your code

[tender shard]

noone can help if you don't show your code

[wet breach]

give them time

[amber marsh]

I dropped the whole main script in the hastebin

yes, my code is smelly, please no hate

[wet breach]

hit the save button and then give updated link

[amber marsh]

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

[tender shard]

send the full stacktrace too pls

[amber marsh]

no idea what that is

[tender shard]

the error message

[amber marsh]

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

[tender shard]

the error doesn't come from the code you sent

[quaint mantle]

Any reason why this dependancy wont load?

implementation 'de.jeff_media:JeffLib:7.7.0-20220307.093638-1'

This is the repository:

maven {
        name = 'jeff-media-public'
        url = 'https://hub.jeff-media.com/nexus/repository/jeff-media-public/'
    }

[tender shard]

the error happened in line Main 246

but your code doesn't go to line 246

[amber marsh]

give me 10 minutes.

thank you so much for helping me!

[tender shard]

anyway, I can tell you what the problem is: you have an immutablelist, you can't add stuff to it

e.g. if you do stuff like List<String> = getConfig().getStringList("..."), you can't add something to it, as it seems

you'll have to create a new list

at least that's my guess, we gotta see a matching code/error to tell more 🙂

as said, the code you sent can't be the same as the one that caused the error message because the line numbers don't match up

[wet breach]

maybe they are using new on a method

according to that unsupportedoperationexception

unless there is a class we are not seeing

[tender shard]

they use .add on a list that is immutable

[amber marsh]

back, the error didn't change, the thing I thought would fix it didn't

[tender shard]

you do config.getStringList

that returns an unchangable list

you must do it like this:

List<String> myList = new ArrayList(config.getStringList("..."));

now you can freely manipulate myList

[amber marsh]

TY!

[tender shard]

np

[wet breach]

it should be mutable o.O

anyways, that should fix their problem if that is indeed the issue

[amber marsh]

I really really hope it does fix it

you are all really amazing, and I appreciate you to no end

[tender shard]

np 🙂

[young knoll]

Yeah idk why it’s immutable

Weird

[amber marsh]

it didn't do the thing. I did a workaround

[quaint mantle]

@tender shard I figured out how to make the skull!

public static ItemStack getCustomSkull(String url) {
        ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD, 1);
        if (url.isEmpty()) return head;

        SkullMeta skullMeta = (SkullMeta) head.getItemMeta();
        GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);

        profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", url));

        try {
            Method mtd = skullMeta.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setProfile", GameProfile.class);
            mtd.setAccessible(true);
            mtd.invoke(skullMeta, profile);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException | NoSuchMethodException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        head.setItemMeta(skullMeta);
        return head;
    }

[amber marsh]

WOOT! Skull!

[tender shard]

isn't that basically exactly the method from my lib? 😄

• I couldnt load ur lib

sadly

[wet breach]

make sure you give credit where it is due 🙂

[sharp flare]

method is just transferred to a new class

[quaint mantle]

Sure thing lol

[amber marsh]

i hate codeing

[wet breach]

While technically true if this code is on a repo, its not obviously apparent where it came from. It is frowned upon to claim code as your making if you didn't come up with it. In these cases, a simple comment at the top usually suffices of where it came from AKA giving credit where it belongs

[amber marsh]

I spend a solid 20 minutes wondering why my armor stand was not showing its name. I did textArmorstand.setCustomNameVisible(false);, and not textArmorstand.setCustomNameVisible(true);

[wet breach]

I don't care if people borrow code from my projects, but it is always nice for people to attribute credit if they have done so 🙂

yeah I mean he just copy pasted the method so a credit must be given

just my chat is incomplete leading to misconception xD

Does anyone know how I would add a blockbench model onto an entity? I have the resourcepack created by ModelEngine, but I'm not sure how to actually spawn the model

[young knoll]

Put it on their head

Only works for entities that render head items

[quaint mantle]

getCommand("specialgive").setExecutor(new SpecialGiveCommand());
        getCommand("challenge").setExecutor(new ChallangeCommand());
        getCommand("tospawn").setExecutor(new ToSpawnCommand());
        getCommand("crates").setExecutor(new CratesCommand());
        getCommand("balance").setExecutor(new BalanceCommand());
        getCommand("shop").setExecutor(new ShopCommand());

        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new InteractionEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new OnPlayerChatEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlaceBlockEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new InvClickEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new BreakBlockEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerJoin(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PrepItemCraftEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new InteractEntityEvent(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EntityDamage(), this);

Can I make this smaller?

[young knoll]

Hmm

I’d just split it up

registerCommands and registerEvents

[drowsy helm]

make a function that takes varargs for registering events

makes it look nicer

[young knoll]

Yeah I was gonna suggest that too

[earnest forum]

instead of calling getServer().getPluginManager() every time you could just set it to a variable

PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();

pm.registerEvents(new InteractionEvent(), this);

[young knoll]

ps?

[earnest forum]

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.

[solar sable]

you mean

player click a block

[young knoll]

There’s an event for starting to break a block

And there’s one for cancelling and one finishing

So making use of those you can tell when they are breaking a block

[earnest forum]

which ones cancelling?

[carmine pecan]

Hi guys! Need some help with a timer that counts time between block place and pressure plate click. Right now I'm listening for the normal BlockPlaceEvent and then save the current time as an Instant. When the player later presses the pressure plate, the time difference is calculated and shown to the player. My problem is that this server-sided approach makes the timer prone to high ping/notwork lag. I was thinking that this might be solved by listening for client packets instead. Anyone here who can help me?

[rough drift]

so

you realize listening to client packets is the same right?

you will have the same latency issues

[carmine pecan]

Yeah I was thinking that too, but I've heard rumours it's possible to bypass/improve it by using packets. Here's what another dev said:

[midnight quarry]

hello, I want to spawn a block right next to a player in the direction where player is looking at

can anyone help with me how to get proper direction

I'm aware of getRelative() method but that won't work in this case

Player#getLocation().getDirection() ?

that will return a vector

how do I get the block though

I think if add x and z with the sign of the direction unit vector coordinates it might work

[rough drift]

who said that

[carmine pecan]

A developer on one of the leading training servers

[vocal cloud]

I assume this is for something like speed bridging timing?

[rough drift]

ofc it is

[midnight quarry]

                    Location next = p.getLocation().add(vector.multiply(2));
                    next.setY(p.getLocation().getY());```

it worked

[vocal cloud]

I'm confused. If you want the most accurate time you'd use the client of course but clients can spoof stuff. Unless you're mentioning when the server receives packets from the client but I can't imagine that you'd get huge differences between that and the events.

[rough drift]

[smoky oak]

how do i import javadoc using maven?

no like

i have the javadoc in .m2

but its not loading for some reason

where do i execute that?

the terminal is just running an instance of cmd.exe

(intelliJ user)

[carmine pecan]

Yes, that's what this is for.

[carmine pecan]

We have anticheat for packet spoofing, so that's not an issue. Do you know how I can get the time from the client?

[vocal cloud]

You want the clients stuff? You don't want the clients stuff. You should only use what the server has.

[dire marsh]

What are you trying to do here?

what is the problem?

oh I think I understand

[carmine pecan]

Our problem is that players with network lag/high ping is able to get lower times

[dire marsh]

lower? I thought the opposite

[vocal cloud]

It's probably because they can queue a bunch of packets and then all at once send them to the server thus giving them a head-start advantage.

[hybrid spoke]

you wont get the exact times the client sent smth except you are listening clientside

[vocal cloud]

There is really no good solution besides invalidating anyone who seemingly uses lag to their advantage

[hybrid spoke]

closest you can get, like mentioned yesterday, is (packet sent time in ms - ping)

[carmine pecan]

Here's a video of what's happening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDPbizg9zhI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SrLh0hyAQ

[vocal cloud]

That looks 100% like a server-side issue not client-side

if the client was lagging they would be rubber-banding like mad.

[dire marsh]

Why are you using block placements?

[hybrid spoke]

the timer is not affected by client lags

how would it be

[carmine pecan]

On these videos our moved-wrongly-threshold and moved-too-quickly-threshold was set to 100/200, so I think rubber-banding was more or less disabled

TPS is also consistently 20 and it only happens for individual players, not the whole server at once

[vocal cloud]

So players are allowed to lag out and the solution for that has been disabled -> ?

[carmine pecan]

No, these values were set to 100/200 because someone else wanted to fix "lag-backs" a while ago. We've set them back to a bit above their default values now

It seems to have improved it, but the issue still persists

[hybrid spoke]

what exactly is the issue? the timer going crazy? or is there literally a big advantage?

[dire marsh]

the time seems to be about right in that video though (18s)? They started at 2s in the video, landed on the pressure plate at 20s. That's 18s?

[vocal cloud]

Yeah the timer seems to be right

if anything they actually lost time due to the lag

[carmine pecan]

Yeah the second video is about right, but the first one's not

[hybrid spoke]

it started late, but how is that a client problem?

i could imagine that he was lagging at the start and his connection got better while bridging.. but that shouldn't affect it, or?

[dire marsh]

that looks like the server started the timer at the incorrect block place, server started at around 00:04, he landed at 00:09, that gives the 5 seconds.

are you sure your logic is not broken somewhere?

you may also want to get a client to simulate network lag so you can test yourself

[vocal cloud]

The issue here is even if this is a client issue, the solution cannot be to rely on the client for information. You can use this application to create artificial lag and see for yourself https://www.netlimiter.com/.

[carmine pecan]

Here's my logic inside the BlockPlaceEvent @dire marsh:

@EventHandler
        public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();

            if (BridgeSession.this.player != event.getPlayer()) { return; }

            Location location = event.getBlock().getLocation();
            placedBlocks.add(location);

            boolean inRangeX = ((xMax == xMin || location.getBlockX() > xMin + 2) && location.getBlockX() < xMax - 2);
            boolean inRangeY = (location.getBlockY() < yMax);
            boolean inRangeZ = (location.getBlockZ() > zMin + 2 && location.getBlockZ() < zMax - 2);

            if (!inRangeX || !inRangeY || !inRangeZ) {
                event.setCancelled(true);
            } else {
                BridgeSession.this.blockLoc = location;

                if (!count) {
                    BridgeSession.this.time = BigDecimal.ZERO;
                    start = Instant.now();
                    count = true;
                    replayID = player.getUniqueId() + "_" + Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
                    ReplayAPI.getInstance().recordReplay(replayID, player, location, player);
                }
                blocks ++;
                if (player.getItemInHand().getAmount() <= 15) {
                    refill();
                }
            }
        }```

[dire marsh]

can you put that in a code block

[hybrid spoke]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[vocal cloud]

You could always check for an unnaturally large amount of block place events within a timeframe

[dire marsh]

three ` then java and 3 at the endd

[vocal cloud]

That would indicate some sort of lag

[carmine pecan]

Thanks. The second video is actually one of the owners DDOSing himself. And yes, since the time is actually quite correct, so that's why I'm not 100% sure if this is related to network or not

[carmine pecan]

Good idea

[vocal cloud]

It's probably a hiccup with the server. If it's not then you've got either a client issue or a plugin issue.

[dire marsh]

if (BridgeSession.this.player != event.getPlayer()) { return; }
first, this seems sus

[carmine pecan]

We're also recording replays every time a player bridges, and looking at the ones experiencing timer lag, all blocks are instantly placed when the replay starts (using AdvancedReplay)

[carmine pecan]

I'm registering a listener per BridgeSession class

[dire marsh]

you should be using equals there

not !=

as you are comparing an object

[hybrid spoke]

comparing the adress seems fine if it have to be that exact player object

[vocal cloud]

Record the time between block placements and look for sandwiching of when the server receives them.

[carmine pecan]

Will do

[vocal cloud]

There is plenty of network limiting software out there to test with. I'd recommend a lag switch to see if that can duplicate it. If that's not the issue then the plugin/server are the problem here

[dire marsh]

if anything, I would expect a laggy player to have a disadvantage, as the landing and hitting the pressure plate will have a delay until it reaches the server... at least, that's what I've always experienced when I lag on these sorts of things

[carmine pecan]

It's set to false when the reset() method is called, which is every time a player joins or quits the course, or when the player falls or presses the pressure plate

[hybrid spoke]

so every listener is per-player?

[carmine pecan]

Only set to true inside the BlockPlaceEvent

[carmine pecan]

Yes

[hybrid spoke]

weird structure

[vocal cloud]

If you think about it in terms of exploiting they would initially lag out the start to place as many blocks as possible without banding-back then turn off whatever is creating the lag thus when they finish it doesn't apply.

Assuming it's someone trying to cheat the system and not general lag

[carmine pecan]

Yeah this is exactly what I've been thinking too

[carmine pecan]

Replaced it with if (!this.player.getUniqueId().equals(player.getUniqueId())) { return; } if that's better

[dire marsh]

I don't see how it can be cheated like that though, cause surely your code should be detecting the first block they place, then calculating the time between that and activating the pressure plate?

unless the client is ahead on movement, and behind on block placements somehow?

which should just be impossible?

[carmine pecan]

I don't think any players are actively exploiting this, but it happens randomly. And if my plugin detects too low times, players are getting banned for cheating (disabled temporarily cause quite a few were complaining about being false banned for timer lag)

[dire marsh]

to me it seems they're lagging, they catch up and all the block placements get done, but somehow your code is only detecting the last in that block placement, and thus the time is wrong

[carmine pecan]

Or it's detecting the first block at the same time as the last block since all the packets arrived at the same time

[hybrid spoke]

couldn't you just check if they didn't started yet and cancel if so?

[dire marsh]

I'll have a think about it for a bit

[carmine pecan]

What do you mean by didn't start yet?

[carmine pecan]

Alright, thanks for helping

[dire marsh]

@carmine pecan can you confirm how many times the code within if(!count) executes after a lagspike like shown in the videos?

[carmine pecan]

I could add some debug code for it, yes. But it might take a while to get any results

[dire marsh]

yeah that's why I suggest getting something that allows you to reproduce the issue

[desert tinsel]

I have this code:

@EventHandler
    public void BlockBreakEvent(BlockBreakEvent e){
        Block b = e.getBlock();
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if (!(plugin.blocks.get(p) == null)){
            if (b.getType().equals(Material.STONE)){
                plugin.blocks.put(p, plugin.blocks.get(p)+1);
                EconomyResponse response = economy.depositPlayer(p, 1.0);
            }
        }else{
            if (b.getType().equals(Material.STONE)){
                plugin.blocks.put(p, 0);
                EconomyResponse response = economy.depositPlayer(p, 1.0);

            }
        }
        if (plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName()) == 0){
            Random r = new Random();
            Integer rr = r.nextInt(5);
            if (rr == 1){
                plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+1);
            }
            p.sendMessage("1");
        }else{
            Integer level = plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName());
            if (level <= 250){
                Random r = new Random();
                Integer rr = r.nextInt(TokenMic(level));
                if (rr == 1){
                    plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+1);
                }
                p.sendMessage("2");
            }else{
                plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+TokenMare(level));
                p.sendMessage("3");
            }
        }
    }```
everything works perfectly, just up to ``p.sendMessage("1");`` in .yml file, i have:
```yml
Player:
  xSenny_: 1000```
Why it doesn't work?

[tender shard]

what do you expect to happen? o0

p.sendMessage("1") is the last statement in your if block

so if this line is true:

if (plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName()) == 0){

then p.sendMessage("1") is the last statement that gets executed

that's the whole idea of if/else

[desert tinsel]

plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName() = 1000

so the plugin need to do:

                plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+TokenMare(level));
                p.sendMessage("3");
            }``` i guess

cause the plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName() isn't equal with 0, and isn't less or equal with 250

is this right?

[desert tinsel]

?

[lime jolt]

guys

does anyone know whats wrong with this line

array.get(0).sendTitle("Hello!", "This is a test.", 1, 20, 1);

the arraylist is made of players

and there is a player at array.get(0)

it says

The method sendTitle(String, String) in the type Player is not applicable for the arguments (String, String, int, int, int)

but then how would I fade it out

and do all those other paremiters

I see you have a misunderstanding in how strings work.

[desert tinsel]

i put the strings for show you how far the code goes

[carmine pecan]

Testing out Net Limiter now

[dire marsh]

epic

[young knoll]

You have if else blocks

[dire marsh]

oh dear lord no

[young knoll]

Of course only 1 can trigger

[wet breach]

so instead of using p.sendMessage("2");
it should be more like p.sendMessage(TokenMare(2).toString());

[rotund pond]

Why is there a capital letter on the first char of these methods ?

[desert tinsel]

but i do not have a problem with strings

i have one with the if else blocks

[wet breach]

because conventions are not rules or standards of a system

[young knoll]

They are standards

[rotund pond]

They are standards... What could it be so ?

[wet breach]

Convention or more better known as style

[rotund pond]

Conventions have to be rules so every codes are based on the same things

But w/e
