[golden turret]

👍 good idea

[tender shard]

so the whole PDC is stored inside an NBTCompoundTag called "BukkitValues"

[quaint mantle]

so stubborn for what

[quaint mantle]

thats stupid..

in some cases

why isnt there a fucking wrapper for nbt then if its that simple???

[tender shard]

yeah I also don't understand that

[golden turret]

i will do it
block_coord:
1,1,1
old_block

[tender shard]

huh

[golden turret]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[tender shard]

wizard

do you want to store data for blocks?

[golden turret]

nop

[tender shard]

oh kk

looked like it

[quaint mantle]

no mfnalex you cannot advertise promote your blockpdc in this case

customblockdata

whatever

[tender shard]

"advertise" lol

[tender shard]

exactly

[quaint mantle]

i let redempt do it

[golden turret]

i would like to not save blocks

[tender shard]

yeah wait, now explain pls

you wanna map data in a PDC to a certain block "location"?

[golden turret]

and when the chunk loads, i will get the blocks that i need to set again

[tender shard]

so I can advertise my lib: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-block-data-persistentdatacontainer-for-blocks.512422/

[snow compass]

I advertise really good site download my plugin on.... spigotMC XD

[tender shard]

you can do stuff like this:

1. Save the data you want for every block you like
2. Listen to CHunkLoadEvent, then do CustomBlockData.getBlocksWithData() or similar
3. reset your blocks

alternatively, I have a library where you can simply store a List<Location> or Map<Location,BlockData> inside the chunk's pdc

[midnight shore]

https://paste.md-5.net/gezigawari.rb Hi why do i get this error if anyone can help me? it worked fine a bit ago now it seems to be broken

[tender shard]

-> https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types-collections-maps-and-arrays-for-pdc.520677/ allows to use lists, maps, etc in PDC

[golden turret]

in my case i just need the block type

[tender shard]

?paste your code

[undone axle]

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

[midnight shore]

what portion of it?

[tender shard]

then you can use the second lib I sent and store a Map<Location,Material> inside the chunk PDC

[tender shard]

the CustomMobs class

[fickle helm]

it sounds interesting but I'm just going to use the built-in bukkit stuff since it's a simple plugin

[golden turret]

im trying to avoid libs

[waxen plinth]

Alright, let me know if you want to try it out in the future

[tender shard]

does that class access WilloMobTC class?

[midnight shore]

this is the whole code

[tender shard]

what's WilloMobTC line 22?

[golden turret]

i actually need to save the whole block data...

[midnight shore]

this is willomobtc

[tender shard]

my lib can also save BlockData in PDC

it provides DataType.BLOCK_DATA

[tender shard]

but why?

[midnight shore]

22 is CustomMobs.values() for loop

[tender shard]

libs exist to make your life easier

[golden turret]

consider your code as stolen now 🕵️‍♂️

[tender shard]

why don't you just shade it? 😄

[golden turret]

i like to copy others lib

this is why wlib exists

[tender shard]

if you steal it, you have to obey the license though 😛

[golden turret]

na

i will just look how it works

and code in my own

[tender shard]

alrighty

[midnight shore]

i don't know why but sometimes i just get this weird errors when initializing classes

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes/blob/144995766335727fc6050c2d29b511a0d4103400/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/morepersistentdatatypes/DataType.java#L97

[tender shard]

is your whole code on github?

[midnight shore]

well

i think so

[tender shard]

your problem is probably that you have a kinda "recursion" in your enum class

you are probably using values() inside the declaration of the enum itself

[midnight shore]

again the whole enum is what i sent, theres not mention of values there

[tender shard]

that is, one of your Mob classes accesses the enum

[midnight shore]

uhh

[tender shard]

which cannot be

it works like this:

1. Java static inits your enum
2. It creates one instance of every of your mobs
3. one of those mob classess access the enum
4. FAIL! Your enum class isn't fully loaded yet

[midnight shore]

could this be it?

[tender shard]

you can avoid this by not making it an enum, but simply a normal class with many public static final fields

[tender shard]

is that in one of your mob classes?

if yes, that's the problem

[midnight shore]

yeah

[tender shard]

yes. let me show you how I'd do it instead: (one second, I gotta open intelliJ)

[midnight shore]

okay

[tender shard]

Avoid this:

    public enum MyMob {
        FirstMob, SecondMob, ThirdMob
    }

ANd do this instead:

public static class MyMob {
        public static final MyMob FirstMob = new FirstMob("FirstMob", ...);
        public static final MyMob SecondMob = new SecondMob("SecondMob", ...);
        
        private static final Map<String, MyMob> BY_VALUES = new HashMap<>();
        
        public MyMob(String name, ...) {
            BY_VALUES.put(name, this);
        }

        public static MyMob valueOf(String name) {
            return BY_VALUES.get(name);
        }
    }

[midnight shore]

my goodness

but why are enums done like this?

[tender shard]

then make all your mobs extend MyMob and call super(name) in the constructor

[tender shard]

because they are supposed to be static final constant values

that's the whole idea of an enum

they are supposed to be immutable

[midnight shore]

okay... i'll see. Thank you

[tender shard]

np

e.g. take a look at bukkit's Enchantment class

it's basically a "fake enum" too

[crisp steeple]

i assume BY_VALUES is supposed to be a map?

[tender shard]

oooh yes ofc

my bad, I typed it in notepad

[crisp steeple]

ok that makes more sense

[tender shard]

fixed, thanks

[quaint mantle]

conventions

[tender shard]

I TYPED IT IN NOTEPAD; DON'T BOTHER ME BRUUUUH

I will only talk to imajin again after they played the 2015 or 2016 trivia with me

[tender shard]

to explain it again: you access the values() method before the $VALUES field has been "finished". Since enums are supposed to be "static final" and immutable, this thing doesn't exist yet unless the whole class has been initialized / until all your mobs have been created.

[midnight shore]

got it thank you

[tender shard]

oh btw another tiny thing

you used toString on the enum

you should rather use name() on enums

although actually it doesn't matter since it returns the same thing lol

[midnight shore]

lol

[sterile token]

Anyone has an api/library for loading spigot and bungee files without being all time changing the code?

[tender shard]

wdym "loading spigot and bungee files"?

[ivory sleet]

yeah

configurate

[sterile token]

Configurate?

Can you send the url

I saw it before but i cannot find

[sterile token]

I mean a library which can load yaml files no matter if spigot or bungee

[tender shard]

SnakeYaml

it's what bukkit uses internally

you can just shade it yourself

[sterile token]

Does it contains sections?

[tender shard]

no

[sterile token]

Oh ok

[tender shard]

well

yes

it does

[sterile token]

I done a simple one

[tender shard]

every "section" is simply a Map<String,Object>

[sterile token]

But i cannot implement the section part

[tender shard]

imagine this:

[sterile token]

mnfalex can you help me?

[tender shard]

section:
  name: "mfnalex"
  age: 27

now you can use SnakeYaml and do this:

Map<String,Object> section = myYaml.get("section");

section is now a map that contains:

name -> mfnalex (String)
age: 27 (int)

[sterile token]

Alex

Please dont disconnect

Wait me i want to send code

[kindred valley]

@quaint mantle getLocation always returns null

[tender shard]

then there is no location at the given node

[sterile token]

Here you have https://paste.md-5.net/iforoxamim.java

I dont know how to code the getKeys(boolean deep);

[tender shard]

Afk 5 minutes, then i‘ll answer

[sterile token]

Allright

No problem

[kindred valley]

hmm

@Override

``` @tender shard

[tender shard]

so basically your getKeys(boolean) method should look like this:

if(!deep) return nodes.keySet();
return getKeysDeep(nodes, new ArrayList<String>);

and getKeysDeep:

private static List<String> getKeysDeep(Map<String,Object> origin, List<String> list) {
  for(String key : origin.keySet()) {
    list.add(key);
    Object thing = origin.get(key);
    if(thing instanceof Map map) {
      getKeysDeep(thing, list);
    }
   }
}

oh and of course you still have to join the inner keys using "." to the "parent" keys you already have

so getKeysDeep should also take a string called "parentPath" or similar

[sterile token]

Allright, thanks. Now i will have to look how its with lambda :D

If you ask why im using Jackson its because i will add Json support too

[tender shard]

there is no location saved at the node that you are accessing using getLocation

[tender shard]

    private static List<String> getKeysDeep(Map<String,Object> origin, List<String> list, String parentPath) {
        for(String key : origin.keySet()) {
            list.add(parentPath.isEmpty() ? key : parentPath + "." + key);
            Object thing = origin.get(key);
            if(thing instanceof Map map) {
                getKeysDeep((Map<String, Object>) thing, list, parentPath.isEmpty() ? key : parentPath + "." + key);
            }
        }
        return list;
    }

something like this should work, but I haven't tested it

[tender shard]

also erm why the heck are you checking the command's name?

are you registering the same CommandExecutor class to different commands?

[kindred valley]

i dont know, its an habit

[tender shard]

hm okay yeah I also did that 10 years ago but it's basically totally useless lol

[kindred valley]

to entering if statement

[tender shard]

your onCommand method will never be called for any other command anyway

[kindred valley]

i dont know why but i feel like i have responsibility to enter an if

[tender shard]

what I also don't understand: you called the node "locations", but you always only save one location inside it? isn't "locations" supposed to hold more than one location?

[kindred valley]

yes, but i dont know how to do it

actually

[tender shard]

I have told you that many times

use a List<Location>

and save that

and to retrive it, you can do

List<Location> locations = (List<Location>) config.getList("locations");

WHY THE HECK CAN INTELLIJ NOT AUTOCOMPLETE THE PUBLIC STATIC VOID MAIN METHOD

[echo basalt]

because you usin light theme

[tender shard]

not everyone lives in a basement

[grim ice]

write

psv

[tender shard]

oh my god

thank you ❤️

it's psvm but yes, thanks ❤️

[grim ice]

Set if he doesnt need dupes or ordering of insertion

[tender shard]

nope

YamlCOnfiguration has no methods to save/load Sets

[grim ice]

Sad

[tender shard]

Set*

set noises

[grim ice]

Oh ig they changed it

pretty sure it used to be psv

[tender shard]

psm also works because autocomplete

[grim ice]

I mean that makes sense, cuz psv is only public static void

[tender shard]

actually even p works

[grim ice]

LOL

[tender shard]

but the actual shortcut name is "psvm"

ah yes

zero or billions of times

[kindred valley]

i made it list but still returning null

from command

p.getLocation().distance(Configs.get().getLocation("locations")

[tender shard]

does someone an idea on how to improve this?

    static String pad(String string, int length, char filler) {
        int originalLength = string.length();
        int difference = length - originalLength;
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(string);
        for(int i = 0; i < difference; i++) {
            stringBuilder.insert(0, filler);
        }
        string = stringBuilder.toString();
        return string;
    }

[sterile token]

dont tag him, you are not paying for fast support

[sterile token]

and which are the chinese characters?

[tender shard]

I already told you this 3 times. you don't have any location saved at the node "locations"

[tender shard]

?

[kindred valley]

?

[snow compass]

He should use @ everyone XD

[tender shard]

does this work here?

I'm afraid to ping @ everyone lol

[tender shard]

exactly! You saved a List<Location>

yet you are trying to get a location

however at "locations", there is no Location. There is a List<Location>

[sterile token]

Oh lmao i think its ?learnjava moment

[tender shard]

so use getList("locations"); instead

List<Location> != Location

[hybrid spoke]

@everyone

[kindred valley]

I thought it returns all locations on file

[kindred valley]

?

[tender shard]

getLocation(X) obviously returns a location that's saved at node X.
If there is no location at X, for example because X doesn't exist, or because X is not a Location, but... a String, or a List<Location>, then obviously getLocation(X) returns null

List<Location> locations = config.getList("locations");

[tender shard]

they are telling you to learn the basics of java:

?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.

[kindred valley]

i know wtfffffffffff

[grim ice]

What is this trying to do?

[tender shard]

e.g.
"mfnalex" -> "0000000000mfnalex"

[sterile token]

Lmao i hate and love lambda at the same time

🤡

[tender shard]

it basically fills the string with "filler" chars until the string has "length" length

[grim ice]

Ohh

[sterile token]

And where does it take the chinese characters? x2

[grim ice]

then ig better the method name

[tender shard]

e.g.

    public static void main(String... args) {
        String string = pad("mfnalex",20,'0');
        System.out.println(string);

should print 0000000000000mfnalex

[sterile token]

That can be use for code obfuscation?

[tender shard]

?

oh you mean because it's in my StringEncryption project?

[sterile token]

Yes

I want to know if the method its secure to be used for code

🤔

[tender shard]

I need this for my string encryption because obviously %%__USER__%% has different lengths. some people have a user id of 1726, others have an ID of 1751261. So I need to "pad" the string to have a fixed length all the time

[hybrid spoke]

if its all about numbers convert it to bin, hex, whatever

[tender shard]

no that makes no sense, since spigot itself replaces the placeholder when downloading the jar

[sterile token]

So can or not?

[tender shard]

I cannot convert anything or whatever

[sterile token]

But could the method used for method obfuscation?

[tender shard]

I upload

String string = "%%__USER__%%adsasdasd";

then two people download it. some people get this:

String string = "123asdasdasd";

other people get

String string = "814561asdasdasd";

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[grim ice]

I need ideas to make

[tender shard]

something with generics

[kindred valley]

mf

believe me if you are new in java(functional beginner) yml f*cks your brain.

[tender shard]

well

yaml doesn't have anything do to with java

[kindred valley]

yes thats because

[tender shard]

it's quite easy, look at this:

[kindred valley]

i forgot

[tender shard]

node1: Something
node2:
- something1
- something2

[kindred valley]

what the f*ck is hashsets

[tender shard]

obviously node1 is a string, node2 is a list of strings

[kindred valley]

yes thank you for helps

[tender shard]

a HashSet is a collection (similar to a list) that can hold many objects, but every object only once. and objects are "identified" by their hashcode (Object.hashCode())

[kindred valley]

yes i forgot what it is while dealing with yaml file

[grim ice]

Sorry but no need to lie

you definitely never knew what it was

You dont forget stuff like that this easily

[sinful tundra]

Does anyone know why this doesn't get my item in the main hand except for everything else?

for (int i = 0; i < 41; i++, itemStack = this.player.getInventory().getItem(i)) {
            if (itemStack != null) {
                Bukkit.getLogger().info(itemStack.getType().name());
            }
        }

nvm I figured it out

[granite beacon]

Is there a way to get the "weight" of an entity?

[kindred valley]

i know?

[tender shard]

erm wtf is the "weight" of an entity?

[granite beacon]

(Aka the thing you use to calculate how fast an entity falls)

[tender shard]

they all fall equally fast, don't they?

[kindred valley]

useless guess

[granite beacon]

Nope

[tender shard]

can you give an example?

[granite beacon]

For example, a player falls faster than a dropped item

[tender shard]

hm

[granite beacon]

A player falls faster than a chicken

etc

[tender shard]

well nonetheless I have to armchair quarterback: gravity has nothing to do with weight

😛

[dense geyser]

I mean

[granite beacon]

I'll just explain what I want, I'm trying to make a function to launch an entity to a location with an arch

[tender shard]

a feather is equally attracted by gravity as an anvil is

[granite beacon]

I got this but it doesn't work 100% of the time (mainly to be attributed to the gravity variable)

    public static Vector calculateVelocity(Vector from, Vector to, double heightGain, double gravity) {
        // Block locations
        int endGain = to.getBlockY() - from.getBlockY();
        double horizDist = Math.sqrt(distanceSquared(from, to));

        // Height gain
        double maxGain = Math.max(heightGain, (endGain + heightGain));

        // Solve quadratic equation for velocity
        double a = -horizDist * horizDist / (4 * maxGain);
        double b = horizDist;
        double c = -endGain;
        double slope = -b / (2 * a) - Math.sqrt(b * b - 4 * a * c) / (2 * a);

        // Vertical velocity
        double vy = Math.sqrt(maxGain * gravity);

        // Horizontal velocity
        double vh = vy / slope;

        // Calculate horizontal direction
        int dx = to.getBlockX() - from.getBlockX();
        int dz = to.getBlockZ() - from.getBlockZ();
        double mag = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dz * dz);
        double dirx = dx / mag;
        double dirz = dz / mag;

        // Horizontal velocity components
        double vx = vh * dirx;
        double vz = vh * dirz;
        return new Vector(vx, vy, vz);
    }

    private static double distanceSquared(Vector from, Vector to) {
        double dx = to.getBlockX() - from.getBlockX();
        double dz = to.getBlockZ() - from.getBlockZ();
        return dx * dx + dz * dz;
    }

[fading lake]

if we were being technical, weight = force of gravity * mass, or F=mg where g = 9.81ms^-2

[grim ice]

why did you say u "forgot" then

[tender shard]

not ^-2

[granite beacon]

if only Minecraft used "mass" for entities

[fading lake]

iTS lATe

iVe hAD a LonG daY

[kindred valley]

if you would be a big beginner u would understand.

[tender shard]

oh wait of course, yes
g = 9.81m/s/s

[kindred valley]

but i guess you are not

[tender shard]

I got confused by the notation you used

[fading lake]

N/kg

[grim ice]

big beginner?

a tall, fat beginner?

[fading lake]

wait N/kg = ms^-2 sometimes

nvm

[granite beacon]

So is there any way I can find the "gravity" of mobs?

[grim ice]

lmao everyone was a beginner

[tender shard]

anyway, gravity is not affected at all by the weight of the object

only air resistance is affected by that

[fading lake]

I use an entity util

[tender shard]

which of course results in a slower fall

but the gravity itself doesn'T care about any air

[kindred valley]

funny as f*ck

🙃

[grim ice]

u dont need to censor it tbf

[kindred valley]

no definitely not

[grim ice]

its allowed to swear as long as its not excessive

[tender shard]

fuck

[granite beacon]

yeah but I don't want to have to map out every entity

[tender shard]

you could probably get the "gravity speed" with NMS

let me check if I find something

[fading lake]

ig you'll struggle then

[grim ice]

it just pissed me that ur trying to look like u knew what something is, when u clearly have read the term for the first time

[granite beacon]

that's what I was looking for

[fading lake]

unless there's pathfinders that modify gravity but i dont think there are ;-;

[grim ice]

just to not feel embarrassed i assume

[fading lake]

oh theres a gravity speed in nms?

interesting

[granite beacon]

I don't think so

[tender shard]

well there MUST be one

[kindred valley]

I can clearly tell you that i know all lists maps and sets well

[tender shard]

otherwise items would fall at the same speed

[kindred valley]

maybe not very functional but yes i know

[fading lake]

I think it'd be pathfinders more than anything

[grim ice]

Oh really?

[tender shard]

can you please open a thread to mock each other, instead of doing it here?

[grim ice]

what is a TreeMap

[ivory sleet]

I believe certain entities just have their delta movement monitored and altered

[kindred valley]

queue situations

[fading lake]

a mapped tree

[kindred valley]

tree and hash

[grim ice]

nah im not trying to mock him

[ivory sleet]

a map that sorts by a comparator

[grim ice]

ik

[kindred valley]

alphabetical order i remembered as

[ivory sleet]

so no hashing in principle

[tender shard]

anyway pls stop this weird discussion, there's currently people actually looking for help

[fading lake]

Several people are typing...

[granite beacon]

There ya go @tender shard

[tender shard]

thanks lol

[tender shard]

I think you'll have to decompile spigot / the orginal minecraft server, and then have a look at the entity's tick() or baseTick() method

[sterile token]

Anyone has a Bootstrap library for loading bungee and spigot plugins?

[tender shard]

there you'll probably see how "velocity" for falling stuff works, and then also see where that value comes from

[ivory sleet]

idk if u need a library for that lol

[tender shard]

bruh wtf

just include both a bungee.yml and a spigot.yml

erm

[ivory sleet]

but in reality just extract your bootstrap logic

[tender shard]

I mean plugin.yml instead of spigot.yml

[granite beacon]

@tender shard I love how you asked me to open a thread and then said it in here lmao

[sterile token]

No no you dont understand

[tender shard]

oh no wait

[ivory sleet]

and then delegate and invoke from respective entry points

[tender shard]

I wanted the other persons to open a thread

they were like "ha you don't know java" "yes I do" "no you don't" - I wanted them to open a thread for it 😄

so that we can keep discussing actual questions here 😄

[ivory sleet]

ha you don't know java

[grim ice]

@granite beacon ur website is awesome btw

[granite beacon]

Thanks I'm working a new version (https://pns.dev) sorry more off topic 😅

[fading lake]

who needs a topic

[grim ice]

I mean is it really off topic when there is no real topic going on

[fading lake]

this is spigot

[granite beacon]

big brain lol

[fading lake]

boooooooooooost

[tender shard]

So

I don't know who here was talking about entity falling speed

but

NMS Entity has an interface called "MoveFunction" with an "accept" method

I'll try to find something that implements this

[granite beacon]

I was

[rugged cargo]

i may have just written the worst case of indentation madness (and i love it)

[granite beacon]

I was trying to figure out how on earth I can get the gravity variable to plop into that function

[tender shard]

LivingEntity#travel(Vec3)

every LivingEntity has a falling speed delta of 0.08

it's basically hardcoded into the method itself as a local variable

so there is no way to figure it out easily

this is the base value for all living entities

[grim ice]

wit

wait

[granite beacon]

what about non living entities?

[echo basalt]

that's too fancy

[tender shard]

I couldn't find that yet

[grim ice]

if u have an edited spigot version

[echo basalt]

it's a lot easier to read as 1 letter variables

[grim ice]

would that work out

[ivory sleet]

Poons what you could do is to super call it and override what needs to be overridden

or just override it completely

[echo basalt]

or use cheat engine to modify the variables on runtime

[tender shard]

I think they want to find out the falling speed delta for existing builtin entities

[granite beacon]

^

[ivory sleet]

ah

well wont delta movement's y component do the trick

[tender shard]

but where would they get it from?

they want to find out "how fast would this entity fall if it would start falling now" AFAIK

[urban trout]

yo my config is resetting to default on restarts n reloads

main: https://paste.md-5.net/ebacaguher.java
config: https://paste.md-5.net/uboqixuxin.java

[grim ice]

u can do byte code manipulation to redirect to ur own method thoughh right

[tender shard]

I just checked the NMS Item class and couldn't find anything in there

[ivory sleet]

uh to some extent

[tender shard]

maybe it's inside the WorldServer / ServerLevel class

[ivory sleet]

predicting is impossible, but like, again delta movement can be relatively reliable

[tender shard]

yeah but we need something like this:

double playerDeltaV = player.getFallingSpeed(); // would be 0.08

[ivory sleet]

the falling speed isnt constant tho, there are a lot of things taken into account

[tender shard]

I found it in LivingEntity but I just checked and "items" (dropped items) indeed fall slower but I couldn't find anything related to that

[tender shard]

it is consistent for players at least

[ivory sleet]

honey blocks, water, and slow falling just to name a few

[tender shard]

yeah sure

[granite beacon]

I don't need to worry about those though

[tender shard]

I am simply looking for where Items override the 0.08 value in air

[ivory sleet]

cuz all of that can be considered "falling"

[urban trout]

ive tried a bunch of different stuff but i cant get it to work, i even put my default config thing in the plugin and then removed copydefaults n stuff but nothing seems to work rn

[tender shard]

the config resets, or the actual file resets?

[urban trout]

the actual file

just goes back to default

[tender shard]

then you are obviously saving it somewhere

[urban trout]

i thought maybe setup but thats only if it doesnt exist

[river oracle]

        final Map<String, ?> map = (Map<String, Object>) config.getMapList(path);
        
        Material material;

        Object objmaterial = map.get(ItemPaths.MATERIAL);
        if(objmaterial instanceof String){
            material = Material.getMaterial((String)objmaterial);
        }else{
            material = Material.AIR;
        }``` This code should handle npe's correct?

[urban trout]

i have a save in the onenable

shall i get rid of that

[ivory sleet]

mye

well getMaterial is nullable

[river oracle]

oh yeah 🤦‍♂️

[tender shard]

your whole logic is a bit flawed

why is save() returning null all the time

[urban trout]

what

oh

idk

[fossil lily]

TextComponentImpl{content="", style=StyleImpl{color=null, obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=false, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[TextComponentImpl{content="§2Guild > §a[VIP] FabledLivid §3[E]§f: ", style=StyleImpl{color=null, obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=false, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, clickEvent=ClickEvent{action=run_command, value="/viewprofile c5b96c06-149a-4c43-818c-eb2f883ee6b9"}, hoverEvent=HoverEvent{action=show_text, value=TextComponentImpl{content="§eClick here to view §aFabledLivid§e's profile", style=StyleImpl{color=null, obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=false, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}}, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}, TextComponentImpl{content="bot is deing", style=StyleImpl{color=null, obfuscated=false, bold=false, strikethrough=false, underlined=false, italic=false, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}]}

How can I get the string from [TextComponentImpl{content="§2Guild > §a[VIP] FabledLivid §3[E]§f: "

[tender shard]

TextComponent.getText() ?

[urban trout]

oh nvm i fixed it

idk why i was setting

rookie mistake smh

[ivory sleet]

well if u just want that just use .08?

[granite beacon]

@tender shard maybe I'm just looking for the wrong thing but I essentially want to have a function that will allow me to specify a height increase which will get the velocity needed to push an entity towards a location assuming there's nothing in the way.

Oop embeds are turned off

[ivory sleet]

oh so given a max height, you want to be able to still make sure it lands where it should?

[granite beacon]

Correct

I did some searching on spigot/online and nothing lead me to a conclusive method I could use that was relatively accurate

[ivory sleet]

mye

[granite beacon]

?

[ivory sleet]

I mean problem is living entity kinda applies a lot of things when ever you apply a vector

one way would be to override w/a custom entity

[granite beacon]

I wouldn't be opposed to using one

[ivory sleet]

let me try a few things rq

[granite beacon]

Alright, really appreciate it :)

[rain grove]

Is there a function to see if there is a Worldguard protection in a location?

[tender shard]

there's WorldGuard's API 😛

do you only care about worldguard, or other protection plugins as well?

[granite beacon]

RegionManager regions = WorldGuard.getInstance().getPlatform().getRegionContainer().get(BukkitAdapter.adapt(e.getEntity().getWorld()));
ProtectedRegion r = regions.getApplicableRegions(BlockVector3.at(e.getLocation().getX(), e.getLocation().getY(), e.getLocation().getZ()))

[rain grove]

I have seen the api, but I can't find any function that returns me if that location is protected or not

[tender shard]

well

that's because there is no such thing as "protection" in worldguard per se

do you wanna check if there's a region at all? or do you wanna check if a player is allowed to build/break blocks there? etc

[granite beacon]

And then you can use r.getFlag(Flags.OTHER_EXPLOSION) or whatever protection you want to check for

[tender shard]

probably not very useful but here's my WorldGuardWrapper for AngelChest:
https://paste.jeff-media.com/?148408d2a7eb4bb7#EzYYv4yGwQMJyKnFrhWd4g9AWmUaJH57b7QZGvfmH6Tv

[rain grove]

Check that this area is protected by Worldguard

[granite beacon]

I just sent you the code you need to do that ^ @rain grove

[tender shard]

I already told you - regions are not "protected" per se

players can for example be allowed to build but not break blocks

[rain grove]

That returns if the protected region exists, and if it doesn't, it returns null?

[tender shard]

so you have to tell worldguard what to test for

[granite beacon]

It returns a list (or array don't remember)

If it's empty then it doesn't have any region

[tender shard]

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

[rain grove]

Oh thanks! @tender shard thanks to you too

[tender shard]

I also have this if you wanna check what regions are at a certain location

^

[rain grove]

I'm going to try and see what I can do with it

[rain grove]

Yes

[pastel juniper]

I have add in dependencies both Spigot-Api and Spigot (version 1.18) but still can't extend to EntityVillager

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[sterile token]

Is there way of doing something like a Boostrap<T> class (with methods: onEnable, onReload, onDisable, getPlugin) so i can use that method without knowing if T is either JavaPlugin or Plugin?

Because the class is done, but i dont know how to them register the all the things by getting the plugin instance

[pastel juniper]

Thank You

[rugged cargo]

who know would so cool, but also impossible?

the ability to put custom items in the creative inventory

[tender shard]

whut?

[opal juniper]

that’s not how that works

[tender shard]

well you could just use reflection to call those methods

but

WHY

[native gale]

A question about opinions. What is the best way to handle the config files in the plugin?

[river oracle]

with a class

that isn't the default spigot getConfig() method in the main clas

[native gale]

I mean, architecturally. Placing everything in the onEnable isn't the only option, right?

[fossil lily]

How can I get data from a textcomponent?

I cant figure this out

[noble lantern]

im boutta 1v1 your lib with my lib

[delicate lynx]

there is a getText() method you can use

[rugged cargo]

can you change an item's texture based on nbt/meta data with spigot?

[fossil lily]

It's acually just a Component

[delicate lynx]

are you using adventure?

[rugged cargo]

what's adventure?

[delicate lynx]

https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/

[fossil lily]

yes

[delicate lynx]

I don't see anyway to get the text

from a Component

[rugged cargo]

oh. i think i found my solution.

[fossil lily]

I can make it into Gson

[delicate lynx]

that could work

[fossil lily]

So I have the GSON object here: ```{"strikethrough":false,"extra":[{"strikethrough":false,"clickEvent":{"action":"run_command","value":"/viewprofile 248d876f-eb5e-42d4-ac53-7258ca5e12d0"},"hoverEvent":{"action":"show_text","contents":{"strikethrough":false,"text":"§eClick here to view §bLoudbook§e\u0027s profile"}},"text":"§2Guild \u003e §b[MVP§2+§b] Loudbook §3[STAFF]§f: "},{"bold":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"obfuscated":false,"text":"tsdasdasd"}],"text":""}

How can I get a specific peice of text? Specifically this one:

There are multiple "text": so idk how to get the one I want

[hasty prawn]

object.getAsJsonArray("extra").get(1).getAsJsonObject().get("text").getAsString();

A parser really helps with this kind of stuff, something like http://json.parser.online.fr/ since you can see the JSON as a hierarchy and it's much easier to actually follow.

[fossil lily]

It doesn't seem to be able to transfer it to an Array...

my bad

[hasty prawn]

Did you get it working?

[fossil lily]

hold on

[fossil lily]

Thank you so much

I have been doing this for so long

Lifesaver :D

[delicate lynx]

you could use PlayerItemConsumeEvent and check if it's a honey bottle

it doesn't return the item, so you could just delay check the inventory after

[tender shard]

we can battle once you implement generic PDC types that work with Collection<T> 😛

[noble lantern]

bet ill add them

i was actually gonna add a bunch of PDC types to this library as well

basically just start with Boolean/UUID and then go from there

however generic Collection sounds fun

[brave sparrow]

I don’t think there is one

You’d have to basically cancel the drink event and replicate the honey drinking behavior yourself

[noble lantern]

isnt there

a PlayerConsumeEvent

or some shit

[brave sparrow]

There is

[delicate lynx]

see my message

[brave sparrow]

But that won’t return the glass bottle at the end

Which is what they want

The consume event fires before the glass bottle is added

[delicate lynx]

they could just check a few ticks later 🤷‍♂️

[brave sparrow]

That’s how you get glitches and exploits

[noble lantern]

he could just do what hyper said and remove the glass_bottle one tick later but theres an issue with duplication doing that

you might not even need to run it one tick later

idk how that event works but i assume it would happen after the actual consumption of said item

[brave sparrow]

That’s how you get some jerk with a modified client doing something stupid

[brave sparrow]

It does not

[delicate lynx]

ehh let them duplicate glass bottles oh well

[brave sparrow]

The event is cancellable and therefore has to fire before the actual consumption

[noble lantern]

ahh i see

[delicate lynx]

probably gets called when a player starts eating/drinking

[noble lantern]

you could implement your own event

PlayerAfterConsumeEvent

[brave sparrow]

Lol

[noble lantern]

and fire it one tick after PlayerItemConsumeEvent

[brave sparrow]

That’s probably how I would do it to be fair

Not one tick after

I’d just patch the spigot to call my event

But that’s not really viable for public plugins

[noble lantern]

well if you want it to be a public plugin then you couldnt really add a patch to spigot

Unless you mean PR your own event for it then yeah

[brave sparrow]

Yeah I don’t do much public plugin dev these days lol

[noble lantern]

ngl im sure a PR for that event would get accepted

[tender shard]

Event API explained in 30 seconds

[grand perch]

Can I use json for config?

[brave sparrow]

I mean you’d have to make it a little more refined but the general gist might be fine

[brave sparrow]

If you support it yourself

Spigot uses YAML

[grand perch]

What does that mean

[delicate lynx]

you have to set it up yourself

[noble lantern]

thanks this explanation helped a lot !

[grand perch]

Ok

[brave sparrow]

If you write a system to read in/write out JSON files as configs or depend on a library

[tender shard]

no problem lol

[noble lantern]

my library supports saving and writing json for you, but no docs are implemented for it yet

[brave sparrow]

You can’t use the normal spigot configuration api though

[noble lantern]

^

[grand perch]

Cool

[delicate lynx]

just use any sane JSON library and you are good to go

[brave sparrow]

Gson is nice

[noble lantern]

Spigot provides Gson

so no need to even import it

since spigot provides 🙂

[tender shard]

sure. but admins will hate you

[brave sparrow]

I think minecraft provides it these days lol

[noble lantern]

oh shit fr

[grand perch]

Why

[noble lantern]

normal people cant handle JSON syntax

it hurts theyre brain

[grand perch]

Oh

[tender shard]

because json sucks if you wanna edit it by hand

[noble lantern]

i much rather prefer json for configs tho tbh

[grand perch]

My client is a developer himself he'll be fineeeeee

[noble lantern]

so much nicer to use

[brave sparrow]

JSON is way better, both for the programmer and the person manually editing configs by hand

But

It’s harder to ELI5

So it’s not as popular with spigot

[grand perch]

Why doesn't spigot support json

[noble lantern]

it actually does

look at ops.json for example

[brave sparrow]

That’s minecraft

Lol

[noble lantern]

just not all files are in json

well, same thing in a sense i guess 😛

[brave sparrow]

All of the spigot configs are YAML

[tender shard]

Let me try to explain:

doSomething: true
someMessage: "%player% did something"
otherMessages:
  bossbar: "This is a bossbar message"
  actionbar: "And another actionbar message"

Easy, right? Nothing can go wrong

This however:

{
  "doSomething": true,
  "someMessage": "%player% did something",
  "otherMessages": {
    "bossbar": "This is a bossbar message",
    "actionbar": "And another actionbar message"
  }
}

It's so stupid. Admin edits a message, and forgets to add "," at the end, or accidently deletes a bracket = FILE IS BROKEN

[brave sparrow]

Minecraft went over to JSON a while back

[tender shard]

you should NEVER use json for config files

unless you hate your users

[grand perch]

True

[noble lantern]

but json looks soooo much nicer

and is ez

[grand perch]

But my client is a dev he'll be fine

[noble lantern]

json parsers exist

[tender shard]

your "client"?

[brave sparrow]

because yaml where you delete a tab and suddenly your sections are out of whack and the entire config file regenerates itself is way better

[kind hatch]

Also, Yaml is a bit forgiving with it's string formatting. You don't need the "" marks in some cases

[delicate lynx]

as long as he knows how to read and format JSON, go for it

[grand perch]

He's a TS dev I'm very sure he'll be fine

[noble lantern]

Titty Sunday dev?

oh

[tender shard]

people pay you to do plugins, yet you still ask here for help for basic questions? your "client" must be very naive tbh

[noble lantern]

type script

[brave sparrow]

I always make my personal configs with JSON, it’s so much cleaner than a YAML config

And it deserializes right into whatever object I want

[grand perch]

The person I'm working for

[tender shard]

sorry but you're talking bullshit

[brave sparrow]

I hate YAML

[tender shard]

{{{ is not cleaner than a yaml file

[grand perch]

They don't pay me

[brave sparrow]

I find it cleaner

Lol

[tender shard]

you can hate what you want. YAML is cleaner, by it's definition

[brave sparrow]

It’s very clear nesting, it mimics the nesting of the code

[grand perch]

In the eyes of a js dev same

[tender shard]

I don't wanna say that yaml is better, I just wanna say that yaml is "cleaner" / "easier to use" for admins

[kind hatch]

JSON is easy for developers not end users. YAML on the other hand is very user friendly.

[brave sparrow]

Like I said before

YAML is easier to ELI5

Lol

[tender shard]

the funny thing is that yaml is also easier to use in spigot

[tender shard]

wtf is ELI5?

[grand perch]

What if I had 2 config 1 is json the other is yaml

[brave sparrow]

Explain Like I’m 5

[tender shard]

then you already fucked up

[kind hatch]

True. I honestly love how easy it is to work with. It'd be nice if the api supported other file formats as well as it does YAML.

[tender shard]

why would you have 2 different formats for config files?

either go full json or full yaml

[grand perch]

Why not

[brave sparrow]

YAML is easier to use in spigot if you’re doing a few large configs

[tender shard]

because it's stupid

[delicate lynx]

what is the purpose

[grand perch]

But you're not me

[tender shard]

I could also make all my users use .uwu files instead of a yaml

but

[brave sparrow]

If you’re doing a load of smaller config files JSON is easier long term

[tender shard]

obviously they'd rather use "normal" config files

there is no need to use Json EVER or configs

json just makes users go into rage mode

and it doesn't have any advantages either

[grand perch]

Change doesn't hurt :/

[tender shard]

haha

changes DO hurt

you never hosted your server

[brave sparrow]

JSON is a better format for technically skilled end users, I’m not disputing that YAML is easier for the masses to get a grasp of

[kind hatch]

Changes also take effort, which a lot of people don't want to exert.

[tender shard]

tbh that's bullshit

[delicate lynx]

JSON to me is for APIs lol

[tender shard]

YAML is the superior version of json

[grand perch]

Yaml is dumb

[brave sparrow]

It’s just not lol

[tender shard]

YAML can do everything that JSON can, PLUS MORE

also the syntax is more friendly

[brave sparrow]

YAML is JSON dumbed down for the average individual

[grand perch]

It relys on tab to nest items

[tender shard]

erm no

[grand perch]

Yes

[tender shard]

YAML is JSON with additional features + easy to read syntax

[grand perch]

Yaml is Skript on drugs

[tender shard]

I won't enange into nonsense discussions

[noble lantern]

you mean visa versa right

Skript is yaml on drugs *

[grand perch]

Both

[noble lantern]

no yaml is yaml which is decent

[brave sparrow]

JSON is perfect for a config, you build a config object which can either be loaded from a file or created programmatically in a trivial manner, and in file format perfectly mirrors the structure of the object it represents

[noble lantern]

skript is basically yaml but its shit

[vocal cloud]

JSON is perfect for machine to machine messaging through an API. It allows different languages to communicate

[tender shard]

enjoy your json all you want, I don't care. facts are: yaml is superior to json.

1. syntax is waaaay easier for admins
2. there's not a single disadvantage

tl;dr: yaml = json for humans, without downsides

[grand perch]

So youre saying devs are stupid?

[noble lantern]

what

[brave sparrow]

The syntax for YAML is clunky and it’s not a great representation of the object’s structure

[tender shard]

depends on who is "devs"

[delicate lynx]

knowing how to read YAML/JSON doesn't make you a dev

[kind hatch]

Here's what I don't get. If your end users need to edit files and are get frustrated with JSON, why wouldn't you make it easier for them? You have to remember that what's easy for you may not be easy for others. That's part of the responsibilities developers have. Catering to your users.

[tender shard]

if you prefer {{{"somekey":"value"}}}, sure, go ahead and continue to use json

[brave sparrow]

Gotta prettify it at least

Gosh

[grand perch]

True
If you press space once it becomes a new object

[delicate lynx]

that's not even valid JSON!!!!!!

[grand perch]

Yea

[tender shard]

json is a nice idea. but for config files?! wtf?!

[noble lantern]

I think this is the jaeger talking

[tender shard]

whoever uses json for config files is probably more drunk than I am rn

[grand perch]

You just hate trying new things

[delicate lynx]

I've def used JSON for configs before, but I would never in a plugin since most server owners are comfortable with YAML to somewhat degree

[noble lantern]

just make a in game config editor

[tender shard]

I try new things all the time, wanna see proof?

[noble lantern]

that stores the config in json

[kind hatch]

Or a web editor.

[noble lantern]

that too

[vocal cloud]

You're arguing with a 13 y/o

[noble lantern]

web editor is nice just a pain to setup initially

why

[delicate lynx]

make a config editor like luckperms with syncing

[tender shard]

lol

I just blocked them now

[noble lantern]

you act like no one in here has argued with a 13 year old

[tender shard]

I have to repeat myself: json is a nice thing. but it's shitty for config files

[grand perch]

What if I don't give the end user the config

[noble lantern]

wha

[delicate lynx]

then what's the point of the config

[grand perch]

Instead I'll make a config command

[delicate lynx]

if the user doesn't need to change it

[kind hatch]

If you were to make your settings modifiable via in game commands or web editor, then it really wouldn't matter what file format you store your data in. You could store your data in a .fuckyou file for all it matters. The difference is whether or not the end user will ever need to modify it manually.

If they don't then do what you want.
If they do, make it easy for them.

[grand perch]

It does
My point is what If i don't let the user open said config file

It uses a frontend command to do so

[noble lantern]

you could be a dick and do what the mob drops plugin does and encode the config in base64

[delicate lynx]

💀

[grand perch]

Lol

[vocal cloud]

Just cause they never use it doesn't mean you can't use something readable

[grand perch]

I would make the config accessible

But you can config it on the server

Like lp and stuff

[noble lantern]

you could always just make 2 different sets of configuration honestly

[vocal cloud]

Yeah but what if they want to modify while the server is off lol

[grand perch]

/setshop material name price

[grand perch]

They have the config.json file

[brave sparrow]

Here's an example of a simple JSON config I used recently:

  "minioConfig": {
    "endpoint": "",
    "accessKey": "",
    "secretKey": "",
    "region": "",
    "bucketName": ""
  },
  "redisConfig": {
    "host": "",
    "port": 6379
  }
}```

It's clear where each config object begins and ends, and the overall config object is a sequence of smaller configs that can be individually deserialized

[delicate lynx]

just make 2 configs, one JSON and one YAML and the user can use whatever one they one

[grand perch]

Yes

[delicate lynx]

problem solved

[grand perch]

Yeah

That's what I was thinkingtl

[noble lantern]

i wonder

[grand perch]

Then that guy came and showed his opinion

[delicate lynx]

both parties are satisfied

[noble lantern]

could you encode yaml to json??

[grand perch]

I would assume yes

[brave sparrow]

you can transpile any language into another one lol

[noble lantern]

yeah but like i wonder if gson or something has a method for it

[brave sparrow]

no

it does not

[noble lantern]

or would i have to do that shit myself

damn

[grand perch]

My problem with yaml is tabs lol

[brave sparrow]

you'd have to support it yourself

[vocal cloud]

But why would you have 2 when one works

[noble lantern]

stubbornness

[vocal cloud]

Something like that

[brave sparrow]

having 2 is a bad idea

lol

[noble lantern]

i just make my configs in json, if the end user doesnt like it oh well

cry about it end user

[grand perch]

What if I just hard coded the configs

[noble lantern]

._.

[kind hatch]

Then what's the point of it?

[grand perch]

Idk

What if I just cancel the project

[kind hatch]

The point of a config is so that you can configure settings. .-.

[grand perch]

Yeah but yaml sucks

[kind hatch]

Does it really though? In what aspect specifically?

[noble lantern]

tbh yaml itself doesnt suck

[tender shard]

it doesn't

yaml is nice

[vocal cloud]

Unblocked speedrun

[noble lantern]

the only part of yaml i do not like is actually handling it with the snakeyaml library

[delicate lynx]

this argument ain't going anywhere

[grand perch]

I can not understand the yaml thing on spigot

[noble lantern]

i much prefer gsons way with serializing java classes to json

if yaml had an option for that ide suck the author of that lib off

[kind hatch]

Trust me when I say, it's one of the easiest things you can use compared to something like GSON.

[vocal cloud]

More tech illiterate people prefer yml.

[tender shard]

it doesn't stuck just because you don't undetstand it though

[noble lantern]

[grand perch]

Why can't i just use something like javascript or typescript for configs :(

[delicate lynx]

bro

[noble lantern]

WHY

WHY

[brave sparrow]

that's not a config anymore

that's a script

[tender shard]

you can do that

[delicate lynx]

mf runs javascript to produce values

[kind hatch]

You can, but your end users won't be happy when they need to edit things manually.

[noble lantern]

i cant

[kind hatch]

They won't know what they are doing.

[noble lantern]

just, pick a config option and go with it

[kind hatch]

Also yea, not really a config file at that point.

[brave sparrow]

i mean it's a matter of knowing your users

[noble lantern]

yaml or json, theyre both simple asf to handle

just pick one and go with it

[brave sparrow]

i don't release anything for public consumption

[tender shard]

tbh, let me tell you this: if you're too stupid to understand YAML, you're also too stupid to use other "config file languages"

[brave sparrow]

anyone touching one of my configs is a developer who works for me

[vocal cloud]

Id say Alex needs a drink but my man maybe had too much at this point

[noble lantern]

[brave sparrow]

which one

[noble lantern]

he posted a video earlier and bottle was like

almost empty

[vocal cloud]

Maybe some fresh air

[tender shard]

well at least I know how to use a Map<String,Object> lol

[noble lantern]

wait wtf it Map<String, Object>

bro this is some next lvl shit for me

how tf you gon expect me to learn that

[brave sparrow]

that's the most base form of JSON yeah

[noble lantern]

OHH

[hasty prawn]

whats a Map<String, Object>

[noble lantern]

yeah

[tender shard]

"gnon"*

[noble lantern]

whats the little < > thingies do

[vocal cloud]

What's a mep

HELP CODE NO WORKY

[noble lantern]

wait code

i thought we were configurators

[tender shard]

anyway i'm going to the slep now, enveryone hnave a nice dnay 😗

[noble lantern]

you too alex!

[tender shard]

thnanks :3

[grand perch]

Anyways in my yaml i have this

Shop:
   Blocks:
       Grass:
         Name: grass
         Material: grass_block
         Prices:
            Buy: 10
            Sell:5
   Pvp:
      Sword: 
        Name: sword
        Material: diamond_sword
        Prices:. 
           Buy:10
           Sell:5

[noble lantern]

btw mike i finally looked into scanning packages for a specific class

https://github.com/Burchard36/BurchAPI/blob/main/src/main/java/com/burchard36/api/utils/reflections/PackageScanner.java Came up with this sick shit

[grand perch]

How in the world would i get all the items in blocks

[noble lantern]

wym

[brave sparrow]

you'd have to treat Blocks as a ConfigurationSection

[delicate lynx]

getConfigurationSection("Shop.Blocks")?

[vocal cloud]

I mean you can also have a config per thingy. You don't need one global config lol

[brave sparrow]

and get all the keys

[vocal cloud]

What the heck is all that ngl

[kind hatch]

If I were you I'd restructure your file.

But to answer the question. You'd need to loop through all sections using #getConfigurationSection()#getKeys(false).

[noble lantern]

ngl i barely have any idea wtf it does

But basically is searches a specific package inside of its own .jar file and finds classes that extend/implement another class

[grand perch]

Will that get everything in a array?

[kind hatch]

Not exactly.

[noble lantern]

and then another class scans the received classes for an annotation, and registers whatever it is from there

[kind hatch]

It will return a list of strings, which correspond to the names of the sections in that list.

So in your case, it would just return an array with the value Grass

You can then use that to complete the path name you need to access those sub sections.

[grand perch]

I want it to be array so that
(My js brain is kicking)
I can loop over all the items in the array and make the corresponding item with said config

[vocal cloud]

I like mine more. It's gross but it's cleaner

[noble lantern]

well the actual logic for this is a little gross, but when its actually used its really clean, eg: https://github.com/Burchard36/BurchAPI/blob/ec858b4806c85d028d7bbc8676a73091e8c14cb3/src/main/java/com/burchard36/api/command/CommandInjector.java#L29

i need a better chaining method though

[kind hatch]

Take for instance this yaml file.

shop:
  stone:
    price: 12
  bedrock:
    price: 10
  grass_block:
    price: 13

If you were to loop over shop using #getConfigurationSection("shop").getKeys(false), you would then have a String array of [stone, bedrock, grass_block]

This is where you can take advantage of the for loop and use the current iteration to get what you need.

So while you are looping, you can use #getInteger("shop." + section + ".price")

[grand perch]

Ahhh i understand

New question how do I make it reload the plugin on config save?

Actually

I don't think it needs to

[kind hatch]

You will have to reload the config if you add anything to the file. That's why JavaPlugin#reloadConfig() exists.

Common practice is to just make a reload command as part of your plugin.

/yourplugin reload

It could do more, but all it would need to do is just run reloadConfig()

[grand perch]

If I change the config while plugin is active then i read the config i assume it won't break

[delicate lynx]

as long as you save any changes

[kind hatch]

The thing about spigot yaml files you need to watch out for is the cache.

[grand perch]

Ok cool

[kind hatch]

When you are editing the config.yml using the api, you are working with the cached version.

So if you make changes to the actual file that's on the disk, you will need to call reloadConfig().

Otherwise, if you are using code to set values, you don't have to.

You do have to save your changes with code though if you want them to be written to disk.

[grand perch]

What is the api

[kind hatch]

The spigot API.

The thing we are all using here.

[grand perch]

I won't be editing it with the spigot api

I'll just be reading it

[kind hatch]

You will if you are using ConfigurationSection or FileConfiguration.

Any class provided by spigot is part of the API.

[grand perch]

What

[kind hatch]

The thing that you are using to write code for your plugin depends on the spigot API. The API provides several classes and methods which you use to make your plugins. You know that thing you have to do at the beginning of every plugin? Extending JavaPlugin? That's part of the API.

Creating commands with CommandExecutor, part of the api.

Modifying yaml files with ConfigurationSection, part of the api.

If you were to remove the spigot dependency, you'd quickly see how many errors your IDE would throw since it doesn't know what things are.

[golden turret]

should not that set my name to the color i want?

[brave sparrow]

You have to set people’s scoreboard to that scoreboard you created

[golden turret]

yes, 2nd screenshot

[kindred valley]

Hi guys, every time I refresh my server, my config file gets empty, probably because the lists and maps are empty after reload. How can I keep all data after reload?

[river oracle]

Tbh just stop using the spigot default configuration methods they kinda suck

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[river oracle]

https://paste.md-5.net/silipuhona.java
Use this utility you could also use some other yaml parsers out there this util just replaces the crappy default getConfig methods and such

Use
"ConigUtils utils = new ConfigUtils(JavaPlugin);"

Than ConfigUtils#getConfigFile snags the File save is easier as well create File if it doesn't exist etc etc.

It preserves comments as well

Something which spigot just added iirc anyways this utils works preserving comments etc from 1.8 to latest

[kindred valley]

so this always saves the config after reloading

[kindred valley]

im saving and loading the config file but it still refreshs

[sacred mountain]

hey could someone tell me what 'clazz' is? is it just a variable name since you can't use 'class'

[golden kelp]

Yes

If u could give some context, we can give a more accurate answer

[snow compass]

What was the idea behind the InventoryMoveItemEvent (it work inconsistency)?

[golden kelp]

Seems like inventory drag

Ohh, it might be for shift click or stuff like that

[snow compass]

Because you get different result of amount if you have 1 stack or 2/3 stacks.

[snow compass]

no is when hopper move items (mostly).

[golden kelp]

Ohhh

[snow compass]

can also be from other container to hopper

[golden kelp]

Depends on the time ig as its pretty fast

[snow compass]

But spigot not provide the original item stack amount on the first item hopper try put in the chest. I could have made it better self 🙂

Spigot modify first stack it try add to container and no option to get right amount.

[golden kelp]

U can make a PR in the GitHub repo and fix it for everyone

[snow compass]

only way is ether hacky or directly use nms self to fix it.

[snow compass]

do they even have github? i think spigot have own web page for the source and is not good on make a good pr for it ether. Is some rules to follow and also need self test it out if it works 🙂

[golden kelp]

Oh yea, they shifted to their own site

[kindred valley]

how can i get maps from config

[supple elk]

How can I teleport a player into a world to the last location they were in?

I'm guessing their location is stored in player data in the world file right?

[golden kelp]

Show ur config

[kindred valley]

wdym

code or config

[golden kelp]

Config.yml

[kindred valley]

sorry for values 🙃

[golden kelp]

Can u just send it here

As it's hard to see from the img

Copy the whole thing into this chat

[kindred valley]

8b6619f9-f9a5-3bd6-8842-712369e22e19:
  playerdata:
    AhmetKeçi: 313
    RonaldoMessi: 919

[sacred mountain]

wut

what is the uuid at the top

[golden kelp]

Just loop through all the keys in player data

[golden kelp]

Same question

[kindred valley]

player uuid who executed a command to write the file

[golden kelp]

Okay

[golden kelp]

.

[kindred valley]

what it will return

[golden kelp]

It will return all the keys, loop through them, add them to a map while getting the values using the same key

[kindred valley]

its returning the uuid

[golden kelp]

U need to get the player data thing

Using the uuuid

[kindred valley]

yes what should i do next

[golden kelp]

Get config -> get UUID section -> get player data -> get all of its keys, loop through em, put em in a hashmap with their values (get using key)

[kindred valley]

how can i get playerdata's keys

[golden kelp]

It has a method called keys or smth

#getKeys() or just .keys

IIRC

[kindred valley]

for(String i: PersonConfig.get().getKeys(false)) {
               PersonConfig.get().get(i + ".playerdata").???????
           }

[golden kelp]

Get.get?

[kindred valley]

get() is getting the config

[golden kelp]

get().get() what does that mean

Okay

If u get the config and then get its keys, it will return the uuid

[kindred valley]

yes it is

[golden kelp]

In the ?????? Part, u can use get keys and store them

[kindred valley]

i cant

[golden kelp]

And then loop over

[kindred valley]

there is no specified methods

[golden kelp]

Wdym

[golden kelp]

What does .get(path) return

[kindred valley]

hashmap

[golden kelp]

I think that's what u want?

[kindred valley]

how can i loop for get

its not an hashmap

[supple elk]

anyone?

[tardy delta]

at which moment?

[supple elk]

wdym at which moment?

the last moment they were in the world

[tardy delta]

if they login they spawn at their last location?

[supple elk]

mhm

but I'm making multiple worlds

and the teleport method required a location

[tardy delta]

im pretty sure they will spawn in the correct world

[golden kelp]

What is it then

[supple elk]

I need to do it on command tho

so when they switch between worlds using a command I'd like to get the location they were last at in that world

[tardy delta]

ah

[kindred valley]

object

[tardy delta]

save their location before they go to another world

[golden kelp]

Wait a second

[tardy delta]

get is the internal method

[supple elk]

that doesn't save across server resets tho

[tardy delta]

wdym server resets?

[golden kelp]

Is there smth like getConfigurationSection?

[supple elk]

server restarting

[golden kelp]

Save it to a file or a db

[tardy delta]

save it to a persistent storage

[supple elk]

it should already be stored in the world data tho

[tardy delta]

when they logout

[kindred valley]

no

[tardy delta]

thats only the last location they were in

[golden kelp]

Aight gimme a bit I'll revert to u

[supple elk]

it doesn't store for each world?

[tardy delta]

wait, maybe

dunno if theirs an api method for that

[supple elk]

it must do

each world has it's own player data

[tardy delta]

https://bukkit.org/threads/getting-a-players-last-location-in-a-specific-world.485456/
