can I update json files? Or do I need to delete it and create it again with the new information?

[radiant cedar]

i did the clean mackage thingy

gave this error

[tender shard]

you HAVE to use the -U flag

[radiant cedar]

i did this

and gave that error

[radiant cedar]

yes it gives the error

i tried it again

maybe i try deleting the s

i added on hhtp

doesnt help

Could not find artifact com.nametagedit:nametagedit:pom:4.1.16 in spigotmc-repo (https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/)

this is the whole error

[lost matrix]

This is a very simple setup. I only have kt open rn but its not that different in java:

object CombatTag {

    private const val DELTA_MS = 5000
    private val KEY = NamespacedKey.fromString("yourplugin:last-damage-timestamp")!!

    fun getLastDamaged(player: Player): Long {
        return player.persistentDataContainer[KEY, PersistentDataType.LONG] ?: 0L
    }

    fun setLastDamaged(player: Player) {
        player.persistentDataContainer[KEY, PersistentDataType.LONG] = System.currentTimeMillis()
    }

    fun isInCombat(player: Player): Boolean {
        return System.currentTimeMillis() - getLastDamaged(player) < DELTA_MS
    }

}

[tender shard]

oh yeah I see the reason

[ivory sleet]

oo smile you're kotliner now?

[tender shard]

their repository URL is wrong and also insecure lol

[radiant cedar]

loll

ok

[tender shard]

https://ci.nametagedit.com/plugin/repository/everything/

[radiant cedar]

what should I used for nametags above ppls heads then

[tender shard]

oh wait no

seems to be fine

try to use version 4.5.0

instead of 4.1.16

https://ci.nametagedit.com/plugin/repository/everything/com/nametagedit/nametagedit/4.5.0/

[lost matrix]

Yeah its quite neat. Still feels scripty to me but it has its benefits. And with Koin i get so much done in no time.

[tender shard]

4.5.0 should be working fine

[radiant cedar]

it works now

[tender shard]

and tell the author to update their docs if they actually told you to use version 4.1.16

because that version is so old, they don't even have it in their repo anymore

[tardy delta]

is the package name the group id of a maven project?

[tender shard]

no

[lost matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/bright-light-blinding-bright-light-morning-gif-15607548

[tender shard]

well, most of the time they match up, I guess

you can use anything you want as group id

for example, I always use com.jeff_media as groupid (or de.jeff_media) and my package names also always start with that. but it's not a "law" that you HAVE to do it this way

[tardy delta]

my group id is me.fourteendoggo and my package name is me.fourteendoggo.xkingdoms

[tender shard]

yeah that's fine, so your artifactId should be xkingdoms

but people do not HAVE to do it like this

for example, lombok uses "lombok" as package name but their group and artifactid is "org.projectlombok" and "lombok"

[tardy delta]

ok

good

i guess this will work

for what is a dependency reduced pom btw?

[ivory sleet]

ye true

[tender shard]

hm I cannot explain that

it's for transient dependencies

[tardy delta]

i always see that file around when i shade

[tender shard]

it's useful if you want to include your current project as dependency in another project

but tbh I don't understand enough of this to explain WHY it's useful in this case lol

[tender shard]

just don't worry about it lol

[radiant cedar]

nametagedit didnt work @tender shard can u help use teams for players nametags

[tender shard]

no, I can't help with that

[radiant cedar]

ok

[tender shard]

ask the author of the lib why it "didn't work"

[radiant cedar]

the problem was most likely

me

[tender shard]

or better explain what exactly "didn't work"

because "didnt work" is probably the most useless explanation in the history of explanations, maybe ever

?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.

[tardy delta]

shall i just remove it lol?

[tender shard]

defining a path for the reduced pom version is not really very useful lol

[tardy delta]

idk lol i was folliwing the guide on the acf page

[radiant cedar]

these just didnt do anything

[tender shard]

just remove the <dependencyReducedPomLocation> part

[radiant cedar]

the last one didnt hide the player nametag and the other ones didnt do anytthing either

[tender shard]

then ask the author of that library

erm

by using List#add(T) ?

that will add it to the list, yes, BUT

it will not save it to the file

to also save it to the file again, you also have to call Plugin#saveConfig()

oh yeah you also have to do getConfig().set("my-list",myList);

sorry I forgot about that

yep

[lost matrix]

But usually you dont want to do something like this.
When the server starts -> load your whole config into classes and fields with appropriate names.
During uptime -> Use those objects
When the server stops -> save the objects back into configs
You can also save them every 15min or so just to be safe.

But please: Do not constantly read/write data to files whenever you need it.
It unnecessary, very slow and causes lag really fast if you are not careful.

[tender shard]

and if you decide to save a file, do it async (exxept for in onDisable)

[prime kraken]

Hello all, hope you are good, I've got one question, I've this error in my log when i rightClick on my ATM, I'm using, Vault for the Economy System; ``` at fr.valdara.valdara.VaEconomy.EconomyCore.getBalance(EconomyCore.java:90) ~[?:?]

at fr.valdara.valdara.VaEconomy.BankGUI.atmClick(BankGUI.java:81) ~[?:?]``` and the error is ; ```Could not pass event PlayerInteractEvent to Valdara vBETA

org.bukkit.event.EventException: null```

[tardy delta]

?paste the whole error message

[undone axle]

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

[tender shard]

what's EconomyCore line 90?

[tardy delta]

my feeling is telling me about a npe

[lost matrix]

Full exception and then show the code from top of the stack. (EconomyCore line 90)

[tender shard]

I think the error message told you that lol

[tardy delta]

shh

[prime kraken]

I can't paste

To long

wait

[slim kernel]

Does anyone know how I can update json files?

[prime kraken]

https://prnt.sc/0Acfjw6k0b4J

[sharp flare]

I'm guessing these are inside an interface?

[lost matrix]

Like you update any other files.
Simplest way: load it, change it, write it back

For very big files you can also stream it.

Gson has some utility for both methods.

[tender shard]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[slim kernel]

okay thank you I am gonna try that

[prime kraken]

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

[tender shard]

you are trying to turn "27f2b76fc14d€ sur ton compte" into a long

obviously it's a string though

[prime kraken]

Yes it's the amount of money in your bank

[tender shard]

I doubt it

noone in the history of bank accounts ever had "27f2b76fc14d€ sur ton compte" in their bank account

because it's not a valid number lol

[prime kraken]

XDDD logic

Execept me now

[tender shard]

even the part in front of the € sign is not a valid number

[vocal cloud]

Is that hex?

[quiet ice]

Even if we generous 27f2b76fc14d is not a valid number

[quiet ice]

probably

[tender shard]

maybe it's a "crypto" currency lol

[prime kraken]

But that work until today

[quiet ice]

perhaps

[tender shard]

no, that could have never worked

[quiet ice]

It should've never worked

[tardy delta]

they are living in the future

[crimson terrace]

looks like hexcode, could still be a valid number

[tardy delta]

we are too dumb for that

[prime kraken]

Yes i know

[tender shard]

show EconomyCore line 90

[quiet ice]

Also, this is part of an UUID

[vocal cloud]

Crypto numbers look like this lol 0000000000000000000000009f8ccdafcc39f3c7d6ebf637c9151673cbc36b88

[quiet ice]

I think it generally means that the itemstack you are parsing is corrupted

[tender shard]

YOU ARE CORRUPTED

[quiet ice]

At best you do a try-catch and dispose these invalid values

[prime kraken]

But i said that the code work until today, that return me the good money in my account, i never changed the line code Oo i won't change a code who worked, but i changed line code in an other class

[quiet ice]

Yes, but the item/block/whatever could have changed

[prime kraken]

Yes that possible

.toString won't work ?

[quiet ice]

okay what

[lost matrix]

"€ sur ton compte" <- This wont ever parse to a number

[quiet ice]

Show source code

[tender shard]

this is the third time: Send EconomyCore line 90

[quiet ice]

he is doing UUID.fromString("what-ever-27f2b76fc14d€ sur ton compte") I assume

[tender shard]

no, they are using Long.parseLong(someString)

[quiet ice]

Look down in the stack

[tender shard]

oh

you're right

mb

[quiet ice]

Generally, you could do a substring there

How good that works is in the air though. But given that UUIDs have a strictly defined size it might just as well work

[prime kraken]

I've aded a .toString and just move next my string and that work

[quaint mantle]

Why does a normal sword show an attack indicator, but my custom sword not?

[tender shard]

what material does your custom sword have?

[quaint mantle]

netherite sword?

[tender shard]

hm then idk

[quaint mantle]

I have modified the attack_speed, but even without that it doesn't show

[quaint mantle]

its not really custom actually, just modifying base items with attributes and stuff

[tender shard]

yeah sorry I have no idea lol

[hexed hatch]

Well what’s the attack speed?

If it’s not showing, then it must be too fast to display

[tender shard]

but they said "even without" changing the attack speed, it doesn't show up

[hexed hatch]

Yeah well you’re mother

[tender shard]

I am noone's mother

I don't even have the required tools for that

[hexed hatch]

Not with that attitude

[tender shard]

also if I ever had any child, I'd just let it die or sell it

[quaint mantle]

its slow

[tender shard]

does the "cooldown" thing show up when you do not change the attack speed at all?

[quaint mantle]

lemme try

[quaint mantle]

indeed

there is some other thing that is preventing it from showing

[tender shard]

well bruh

at first you said it doesn't show up even when you don't change the attack speed 😛

then it seems like you simply set the attack speed too high/low/whatever

[quaint mantle]

?

I said the indicator didn't show up yes

the attribute is there

I can set it to the default or not modify it at all

but the attack indicator doesn't show up

[tender shard]

I don't get it

2 minutes ago you said it does show up when you don't change the attack speed

[radiant cedar]

@tender shard

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.nametagedit.plugin.api.INametagApi.setNametag(org.bukkit.entity.Player, String, String)" because the return value of "com.nametagedit.plugin.NametagEdit.getApi()" is null

i think this the problem

[quaint mantle]

-_-

[quaint mantle]

im saying the same now?

the attack indicator does not show

[tender shard]

no, now you are saying it doesn't show up anyway

2 minutes ago you said it does show up when you do not change the attributes

[quaint mantle]

yeah that's the same thing as not changing the attributes

it does not show up however

[hexed hatch]

How slow?

[tender shard]

i'm out, I think we have some kind of communication problem lol

[quaint mantle]

D:

[quaint mantle]

I can set it to whatever using an attribute

[hexed hatch]

That is not what I asked

But it works a little bit differently with attribute modifiers, believe it or not

It’s not like modifying the base attack speed of an item

[quaint mantle]

the first attribute sets the value I've heard

which does seem to work

[hexed hatch]

Try -3

[quaint mantle]

hm ok

[hexed hatch]

It’s been a while since I played with it, but I recall the default attack speed being 4 and having to use negatives

Because 6 is like super fast

[quaint mantle]

ah I see

that worked

[hexed hatch]

See? I’m a genius

[quaint mantle]

yes

[hexed hatch]

Never doubt me again

[quaint mantle]

you are

[tender shard]

yesterday I saw someone who had -2.415159125671 or something and they claimed that was the default value IIRC

[hexed hatch]

4 is the unequipped default value I thought

[quaint mantle]

oh lmao I forgot the player has default

yeah

[hexed hatch]

But I don’t know, it’s been forever since I messed with it

Unfortunately, the lore for your items will have to be ugly

Because the naturally occurring lore cannot be set on your own

[quaint mantle]

wdym

[hexed hatch]

So what I usually do is hide attribute modifiers and inject my own lore

[quaint mantle]

I can set flag

yes I already do that

[hexed hatch]

Good

[quaint mantle]

I used it to check if the values were correct

hmm how would I fix that minus

probably add to the default

[hexed hatch]

This is your plugin, right?

[quaint mantle]

hm hm

[hexed hatch]

Just get the attack speed value and subtract it from 4

Boom

That’ll get you the real value

[quaint mantle]

you sure its 4?

[hexed hatch]

Something like that

[radiant cedar]

Does anyone know how to use NametagEdit

[hexed hatch]

I think there’s an /attribute get command

[quaint mantle]

yeah ill try that

[hexed hatch]

See what the attack speed of a player is without holding an item

[tender shard]

yes, the author

[quaint mantle]

yeah its exactly 4.0

noice

ty for the help

[hexed hatch]

See? I’m a complete genius

[quaint mantle]

I know

I am too

tho

[tender shard]

both of you suck

I am the only genius here

[quaint mantle]

I am leaving this discord

[tender shard]

and I disallow any messages stating otherwise

[radiant cedar]

bro idk how to contact the author

[tender shard]

https://github.com/sgtcaze/NametagEdit/issues

[hexed hatch]

alex we could be geniuses together

[tender shard]

yes okay

[quaint mantle]

ok fine

[tender shard]

let's do it

[quaint mantle]

because

I did this

custom items with config

with abilities included

also works for armor sets

:D :D :D

shameless self promo

[tender shard]

btw I just tried NametagEdit and it seems to be working fine

[radiant cedar]

pls help me

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.nametagedit.plugin.api.INametagApi.setNametag(org.bukkit.entity.Player, String, String)" because the return value of "com.nametagedit.plugin.NametagEdit.getApi()" is null
at com.hiprison.prisonplugin.OnJoin.onPlayerJoin(OnJoin.java:36) ~[?:?]

[tender shard]

did you even add "NametagEdit" as "depend" in your plugin.yml?

[radiant cedar]

oh

how how

like this/

[tender shard]

no

wait

depend:
- NametagEdit

or

depend: [NametagEdit]

[radiant cedar]

if this works ❤️

[tender shard]

this ensures that NametagEdit loads BEFORE your plugin does

[radiant cedar]

.plugin.UnknownDependencyException: Unknown dependency NametagEdit. Please download and install NametagEdit to run this plugin.

do i need that jar in my plguins as well

[quaint mantle]

you still need it in your plugins folder

[radiant cedar]

even if im just using the API

aight ok

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.nametagedit.plugin.api.INametagApi.setNametag(org.bukkit.entity.Player, String, String)" because the return value of "com.nametagedit.plugin.NametagEdit.getApi()" is null

still this

thsi gives null for some reason

did u not get this @tender shard

[tardy delta]

did you follow their guide on how to use it?

[radiant cedar]

yaa

have these as well

[tardy delta]

i mean for using its code

[radiant cedar]

yes

this is how to do it

but for some reason

.getApi() gives null

[tardy delta]

are you depending on it in your plugin.yml?

[radiant cedar]

ye just did

[tardy delta]

or soft depending

[tardy delta]

its depend: [NametagEdit]

dunno if that would work but ye

[radiant cedar]

doesnt fix

[tender shard]

that's the same

[tardy delta]

ah

is that plugin even installed?

[tender shard]

probably, otherwise they would get ClassNotFoundException or similar

I think the problem is:

@radiant cedar You accidently shaded that plugin

add <scope>provided</scope>

to your <dependency>

[radiant cedar]

wait

where

[tardy delta]

how can you do that accidentely

[tender shard]

for example below <version>...

[radiant cedar]

like this?

[tender shard]

yes

[radiant cedar]

if this works

[tardy delta]

below he said smh

[tender shard]

by adding the maven-shade-plugin without adding <scope>provided

[tender shard]

doesn't matter lol

[radiant cedar]

this woprked

ur a dady

[tardy delta]

ah so it shades those who dont have a scope

[tender shard]

See @hexed hatch ? I'm officially a "dady" now

[blazing rune]

Ayo, does anyone have any idea how to check if what damages you is not a player?

[tender shard]

in what event?

[blazing rune]

EntityDamageEntity

[tender shard]

you can get the "damager"/attacker and then just check if it's "instanceof Player"

[blazing rune]

if (e.getDamager() instanceof Player p) {

[tender shard]

yeah

[blazing rune]

And

if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player p) {

This is the player that is damaged

The problem is that it is registering mobs as the damagers and the targets ( the ones who get damaged )

I ain't got any solution so anyone wanna help out?

[tender shard]

    @EventHandler
    public void onDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
        if(event.getDamager() instanceof Player) {
            // The attacker is a player
        } else {
            // The attacker is not a player
        }
    }

[blazing rune]

Oh flk

Ok thx

[maiden briar]

What is the best way to check if a string value is in a comma separated stringlist in mysql? (string,string2) and need to know of string2 is in: true. And need to know if string3 is in: false

[tender shard]

wdym with "need to know of string2 is in: true"?

[maiden briar]

That should return true

I want to check if string2 is in the list, that should return true. If I do the same check for another string it should return false

[tender shard]

oh okay

use String.split

[maiden briar]

.. But it is in a database, and need a query

[tender shard]

String list = "firstString,secondString,thirdString";
        String[] split = list.split(",");
        for(String string : split) {
            if(string.equals("thirdString")) {
                // "thirdString" is inside the list
            }
        }

[echo granite]

Any android developers here?

[tender shard]

You cannot just query parts of a string

you have to get the full string, then check it yourself

[tender shard]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question.

[echo granite]

I can't share my question here.

[tender shard]

why not?

[echo granite]

Private reasons

sorry

[tender shard]

that won't work

[maiden briar]

Why not?

[tender shard]

because it would return true for "thirdString" if your list looks like this:
firstString,secondStringthirdString,somethingElse

[ivory sleet]

yuh

atho I never worked w/kotlin in android

only java

when that was still cool

[maiden briar]

Oh yeah

Then I would put a , in front and the end?

[tender shard]

then it won't work for the first and last string in your list

[lost matrix]

You are a weird breed. Write spigot plugins in kt and android apps in java...

[maiden briar]

... Why is this so hard

[tender shard]

just get the full db entry and then use String.split as I said 😛

[ivory sleet]

lol ye

[maiden briar]

But the database will be big. That takes time

[quiet ice]

My solution would be to get rid of the db

in-memory storage is a viable option these days

[maiden briar]

Where to save it then?

But after closing theplugin?

[tender shard]

if the db is so big that you cannot query it anymore, you have done something wrong anyway

[maiden briar]

And restarting it is lost

[quiet ice]

Write to disk

[maiden briar]

No that is not the problem

[quiet ice]

Especially with ObjectOutputStream (don't) it is pretty easy to write data to something

[maiden briar]

Yes

[quiet ice]

That being said, if I am getting you right, checking if there is a value in such a string does not take that long

especially if you work with #startsWith and #indexOf

The most expensive thing in java is object allocation, but this does not require any object allocations (except getting the string from the db)

[tender shard]

you know what's even more expensive?

[quiet ice]

There are a bunch of more expsive things, but object allocation is underrated

[tender shard]

the most expensive thing is buying a "java management service" subscription

oracle is greedy

[quiet ice]

what the hell is that

[tender shard]

I don't know but it's very expensive lol

https://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/

they don't name any prices so it's safe to assume that it's very expensive lol

[quiet ice]

it is aimed at companies however

[tender shard]

my company is always in the red numbers lol

[quiet ice]

Perhaps you shouldn't give out stuff for free?

[lavish folio]

hi, i can get this package ? org.bikkit.craftbukkit.v1_12_R1.block

[tender shard]

well I pay money to myself ofc

[quiet ice]

NMS is forbidden.

[tender shard]

but if the company would have green numbers, there'd be double tax

if a company has green numbers, they're doing sth wrong in germany

[tender shard]

yes

run buildtools for 1.12 and then use spigot instead of spigot-api as dependency

[lavish folio]

and how convert org.bikkit.craftbukkit.v1_12_R1.block.CraftBlockState to org.bukkit.block.BLockState

[eternal oxide]

you don't. they are operationally the same

First is the Implementation, second is the API Interface

[tender shard]

CraftBlockState implements BlockState

no need to "convert" it back to it's interface

[lavish folio]

but how fix this? org.bikkit.craftbukkit.v1_12_R1.block.CraftBlockState cannot be cast to org.bukkit.block.Banner

[tender shard]

don't cast something to a banner that isn't actually a banner

[lavish folio]

Banner is interface extends of BlockState from org.bukkit.block

[quiet ice]

so that is why lufthansa has a 10 billion dollar deficit

[eternal oxide]

It has to BE a Banner before you can cast it

[lavish folio]

on this position is a banner block

[eternal oxide]

Your block is not a banner

but a banner IS a Block

[tender shard]

well LH is an "Aktiengesellschaft", it's a bit different for them compared to my tiny GbR lol

an AG is supposed to actually have green numbers unless you want to scam all the shareholders too

I only worked with small companies that "only" want to scam the tax authorities

[lavish folio]

Material.STANDING_BANNER is not a Material.BANNER ?

[visual tide]

no

[tender shard]

obviously not, but both blocks should implement Banner nonetheless

[prime kraken]

Hi there, is it possible to store PDC directly into a block ? I would like when i click on a block to store in this specific block the Uuid of the player, so when another player click on the block that return a message blablabla.. ?

[tender shard]

no

[lost matrix]

Nope. Only TileEntities have PDCs.

[tender shard]

BUT @prime kraken you can abuse the chunk's PDC to basically get the same result: https://link.jeff-media.com/customblockdata-spigot

[lost matrix]

What you can do is store data in the chunk the block is located in

[eternal oxide]

You could store in the Chunk PDC, the location of the Block and the Player

[grand perch]

                        categoryGui category = new categoryGui("Blocks", fixmc);
                        player.openInventory(category.getInventory());

                        ConfigurationSection blocks = config.getConfigurationSection("shop.blocks");
                        //ConfigurationSection food = config.getConfigurationSection("shop.food");

                        for (String key : blocks.getKeys(false)) {
                            System.out.println("Block name: " + key + ", display: " + config.getString("shop.blocks." + key));
                            player.sendMessage("Block name: " + key + ", display: " + config.getString("shop.blocks." + key));
                        }

isnt sending anything

[prime kraken]

Thanks you i will check that !

[tender shard]

btw if you're going to use my library: it stores the data directly to that "coordinate". so if for example a piston pushes the block that has data, you will have to manually "move" the data to the new block, too

[prime kraken]

I will use your library but it's for make an housing system like when i click if the door is to nobody, i buy it and no other people can open the door

but i'm asking that is door work with that

[tender shard]

it'll work with any block, no matter if it's a door, or stone, or air

[prime kraken]

Nice, I will check how to use and try that ! thanks 😉

[tender shard]

np! it's extremely easy to use:

PersistentDataContainer customBlockData = new CustomBlockData(block, plugin);

just create a new instance of "CustomBlockData" and provide the block and your plugin

[prime kraken]

Omg so easy x)

[kindred valley]

how can i remove an arrays value

[tender shard]

didn't you already ask this yesterday?

[kindred valley]

i actually tried your method

[quiet ice]

They tend to ask the same question pretty often

[tender shard]

my method works fine

[quiet ice]

At some point it just gets tiring

[tender shard]

yeah...

[kindred valley]

then i made it a bit more basic

to understand

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

Not easily. Use a List instead

[tender shard]

IIRC they only need to remove the first element of an array

[quiet ice]

Oh so that is what they meant

[kindred valley]

https://paste.md-5.net/picagujihi.cpp i made it like this

[eternal oxide]

First is easy, others not so

[tender shard]

you call that "more basic"?

that's like twice the size of the code that I sent you

[kindred valley]

lemme try it again

[tender shard]

also why are you calling arraycopy twice o0

you could have just used the method that I sent

    public static <T> T[] shiftArray(T[] original) {
        if(original.length == 0) return original;
        T[] shifted = (T[]) Array.newInstance(original.getClass().getComponentType(),original.length-1);
        if(shifted.length == 0) return shifted;
        System.arraycopy(original, 1, shifted, 0, shifted.length);
        return shifted;
    }

[quiet ice]

the first one is a NOP anyways

[tender shard]

just use this, it works 100% fine

it's a decent name imho lol

[prime kraken]

@tender shard did i have to serialize with just the name of the player with your api ?

[tender shard]

huh what

I have no idea what you're talking about lol

[prime kraken]

and i have don't idea how to explain lmao

[tender shard]

do you want to store a "player" inside a PDC?

[prime kraken]

Yes the name

or uuid nvm

[quiet ice]

I recommend using UUIDs

[tender shard]

I have another lib that adds new datatypes, for example UUID. Then you can just store the player's UUID: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types-collections-maps-and-arrays-for-pdc.520677/

[prime kraken]

Okay i will check that so

[tender shard]

DataType.UUID

[radiant cedar]

how do u send a message like this on screen

for all players

[tender shard]

yeah that of course also works

[radiant cedar]

what class is this in

[quiet ice]

Bukkit#sendTitle or something like that

[tender shard]

Player#sendTitle

[quiet ice]

Ah, close enough

[radiant cedar]

ty

[tender shard]

where "Players" is of course Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()

[prime kraken]

nice but i use, your first library for the block bcs you said that it used the location, did this library used too ?

[quiet ice]

Well, it becomes a bigger challenge once you want to send it to dead players too

[tender shard]

you can just use both libraries, they work fine together

[kindred valley]

I'ts removing the first element but when i use String.join It still sends.

[prime kraken]

oh nice so thanks u

[tender shard]

?paste your code

[undone axle]

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

[quiet ice]

Remember that it does not modify the original array

[tender shard]

yeah it returns a new array

[quiet ice]

It just modifies the returned array

[tender shard]

arrays are immutable anyway

you cannot change the size of existing arrays

they do

[quiet ice]

To protect against certain kinds of errors

[eternal oxide]

dead players are removed from the Online P{layers list

[tender shard]

whut?

[eternal oxide]

but their Player object is valid

[tender shard]

getOnlinePlayers() always returns all online players, doesn't it?

[eternal oxide]

no

[tender shard]

huh

I have to check that

[olive lance]

This is news to me

[eternal oxide]

if a player is dead they will not be in there

[quiet ice]

perhaps, not too sure

[kindred valley]

Ah yes i just realized, i was pasting the strings to the join ty.

[quiet ice]

Could also just be a QoL decision by the bukkit devs

[brave trellis]

how would you run a console command in a specific world?

[tender shard]

Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() also includes dead players

everything would make no sense anyway

[eternal oxide]

um, it didn;t a year ago

[quiet ice]

Interesting that they changed it

[tender shard]

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this, () -> {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Online Players: " + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().size());
        }, 1, 1);
    }

[quiet ice]

But good to know that this behaviour does no longer apply

[tender shard]

I highly doubt that it was different at ANY time tbh

[eternal oxide]

It was, there was a big discussion in trhis channel about it

[olive lance]

Thank god

[quiet ice]

I deeply remember someone having issues with this behaviour a long time ago

[tender shard]

hm

weird

well but then so be it

it definitely works fine in 1.18.2 paper

[eternal oxide]

We found it odd back then, but accepted it as we all tested it.

[tender shard]

does anyone remember the version where this happened?

I'd really love to try it out

[eternal oxide]

probably 1.16.5

[tender shard]

very weird lol

[quiet ice]

<#help-development message>

[tender shard]

wow spigot takes soooo long to start

[brave trellis]

bump

[quiet ice]

Starting is okay, stopping is the real deal

It takes like 5 minutes to stop last time I tried

[brave trellis]

for example, take a command, take X coords of a world and make it run in that world

[quiet ice]

On an newly created server that is

[tender shard]

I call bullshit

on 1.16.5 it also works fine

Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() always returns ALL online players, regardless of whether they are dead or not, in both 1.18.2 and latest 1.16.5

[eternal oxide]

I just tested 1.18.2 and they are included

[tender shard]

it works fine in 1.16.5 too

[eternal oxide]

Yeh it does now and should, but back then it didn;t

[tender shard]

hm maybe it was changed in a specific build in 1.16.5

[quiet ice]

Yeah, that is likely

[tender shard]

but at least in latest 1.16.5, it works fine

[quiet ice]

Given that there are a few months left until the release of 1.17 where it could have changed

[eternal oxide]

I just read back over the conversation. its in the respawn event that the player is no longer in the OnlinePlayers

this was his code ```java
public void respawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event){

    Collection<? extends Player> players = event.getPlayer().getServer().getOnlinePlayers();

    event.getPlayer().getServer().broadcastMessage(String.valueOf(players.size()));

}```

[waxen plinth]

That's such a strange way to do that

Like what the hell

[eternal oxide]

yep

[waxen plinth]

Bukkit.broadcastMessage("" + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().size());```

🙃

[grand perch]

Wait

[eternal oxide]

We checked his results, saw it did show zero players and that was that. We didn;t investigate further

[last sleet]

Hi, is there a way to override base item attributes ? I tried setting a hoe to 0.2 attack speed, but it adds it instead of overwriting, so the attack speed stays 4.

[eternal oxide]

Yep I just tested and it's not all dead players. It's players in the PlayerRespawnEvent are not included in OnlinePlayers

[tender shard]

oooh okay, very weird

[eternal oxide]

We just assumed it was all dead players

[quiet ice]

Good to know what really happened then

[tender shard]

lol I just googled the doctor my bf went to a few months ago

the women is the doctor

now I wonder whether the old dude is her husband or just a patient lol

[quiet ice]

is that your IP in the lower corner?

[tender shard]

no that's the website's IP

my IPs are 2A02:908:D70:A60:704B:D8C7:895C:8CAE and 5.147.144.118

[quiet ice]

huh

[paper falcon]

how can I suppress typo warnings?

[glass mauve]

I think typo is not a warning

[paper falcon]

well I'll turn it off in intelliJ settings then, thx anyways

[tender shard]

it's not a warning

it only gets underlined and that's it

just ignore it?

[paper falcon]

nah its hard to

I disabled it now

[tender shard]

weird solution but ok lol

[paper falcon]

😃

[tender shard]

I would simply add that word to the dictionary

[paper falcon]

yeah but that's annoying

I gotta add each word when writing in my language

it sux

[tender shard]

@SuppressWarnings("SpellCheckingInspection")

[paper falcon]

bit late now 🙂 but thanks

I'll use it in the future

[glass mauve]

why? you disabled it lmao

[paper falcon]

it's better i

ig

[hybrid spoke]

no just keep it disabled

nobody needs that

[paper falcon]

ok

howererv u want

[hybrid spoke]

whoa

i just comboed

[paper falcon]

got em all 😎

[glass mauve]

same

[paper falcon]

niice

[glass mauve]

but its useless

[hybrid spoke]

jff i guess

[humble tulip]

I was just reading this thread
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-cross-server-communication.407298/

[hybrid spoke]

but fancy confetti when typing

[paper falcon]

cool

[humble tulip]

Gonna ask a question now😂

[paper falcon]

lol ik jk

[hybrid spoke]

?ask faster

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[humble tulip]

So I'm working on a plugin where I need to keep track of players stats as well as their "score" which is like a currency

[paper falcon]

ok

nice

gtg bye

[humble tulip]

I'm on mobile so i cant format properly

Cyz

Cya

I'd like admins to be able to reset theor stats and whatnot

Problem comes up when they are not online and may be on another server

It'll reset on one server at set it in the db being used but on the other server where the player is online, it'll still have the stats thatbwere loaded originally

Is it okay to use plugin messages to update the stats?

Like to tell the other servers what changes were made?

[hybrid spoke]

i would use redis for that

since you can also cache that data over several servers

instead for each

[humble tulip]

Yeah ibsaw that in the thread but not all servers have redis

I guess for servers that want to use the plugin with bungee redis must be used?

[hybrid spoke]

sounded like your own server at first

[humble tulip]

My bad

[hybrid spoke]

well then PMC should be fine

[sterile token]

Why some anottations are still on code when they only are need when coding?

[humble tulip]

Right now all changes to stats are being done with addition/subtraction only so being out of sync isn't much of an issue except for what is being displayed

[humble tulip]

?

[sterile token]

You have some alternatives:

First and better one use Redis
Use a non blocking library

[hybrid spoke]

but with that scenario: why would an admin or whatever chose to reset the score of a player which is on another server

[sterile token]

When doing global timers on secoreboard?

🤔

[hybrid spoke]

player stats

[radiant cedar]

why does it send command back

anyone have a clue?

[hybrid spoke]

you probably return false

[sterile token]

For server help you have #help-server

[radiant cedar]

oh ye

[humble tulip]

What is a non blocking library?

As i said, most servers just use mariadb

[hybrid spoke]

a third party which fails quietly instead of waiting

if a server doesnt have any players on it and a PM is sent, it will wait for players before actually receiving the PM

[sterile token]

A non blocking library is part of networking which allow non blocking is the communication between many devices

[prime kraken]

Hi, how can i remove my player from my PDC when he leave ? I use an api who put PDC directly into the block

[hybrid spoke]

elaborate a bit more please

[prime kraken]

I use the API of mfnalex who able me to put in a block, a PDC, here the player name. In my event, when i click on the block, if there are no player in, i put the player with the pdc like door.set(new NamespacedKey(plugin, "playerName"), PersistentDataType.STRING, p.getName()); and i made a condition when if there is a player in that return the player blablabla.. I just want to know how can i delete the player name in the block when he leave the server

[hybrid spoke]

well you would've to keep track of the block

and remove the entry onquit

[sterile token]

Wait you should never save data with name, always use UUID

[prime kraken]

Ok, to hard for me i don't know how to do that but i will search thanks

[sterile token]

Because name can change, uuid is unique

[prime kraken]

Yes but no importance if i remove the player name when he leaves ?

[sterile token]

Are you trolling?

[prime kraken]

i just ask

[sterile token]

I told you never use use name as key, always UUID

Because if user change the name data goes directly to trash

In other words he lost his data...

[normal isle]

how can i install custom breaking speed for custom blocks

@prime kraken pls do not DM me. I've unblocked you again now but please do not send DMs again. I get so many DMs, it gets annoying

[hybrid spoke]

challenge accepted

[prime kraken]

Yes of course, but i don't want to store his data when he leave here, i want to delete, nvm i don't know how to explain that, if the player leaves the server, have a "door" wich is like a house is not important, and i don't want to restore them after

[sterile token]

That what happen when you have many open souce libraries

[prime kraken]

yes sorry dude didn't thinks about that when i did

[tender shard]

no problem, just don't do it again pls lol

[prime kraken]

Yes of course

Better to ask here if another people have same problems 🙂

[normal isle]

?

[proper notch]

afaik the only way to do it is through packets. Lemme find the old code I have

[normal isle]

ohh ok thx man

[proper notch]

Firstly the player will need to have full mining fatigue so they can't actually break the block. You'll then manually send the progress of block breaking and when the block actually breaks for them.

You can use ProtocolLib to listen to PacketType.Play.Client.BLOCK_DIG. From its data you can get the PacketPlayInBlockDig.EnumPlayerDigType and then the important flags ur gonna want from that are START_DESTROY_BLOCK and ABORT_DESTROY_BLOCK.

When handling the packet, you need to store if the player is breaking x block and then send the progress throughout breaking said block. You can notify progress with the PacketPlayOutBlockBreakAnimation packet.

[normal isle]

ok

got it

question can i ask you something in dms?

[proper notch]

I have my DMs disabled, sorry. You can ask it here tho

[normal isle]

ohh ok

you ever made a custom block plugin?>

[tardy delta]

should i downloads java 16 or 17 for mc 1.17.1?

[proper notch]

Yh me and someone else for a server we never released.

[proper notch]

17

[normal isle]

ohh ok

[quiet ice]

17, 16 is EOL

[normal isle]

its like custom textures stuff like that??

[tardy delta]

and whats EOL?

[proper notch]

It's not since we were making it 1.8 compatible, so it uses vanilla textures, but it still has custom breaking speeds.

[proper notch]

end of life. It no longer receives updates.

[normal isle]

ohh ok

[proper notch]

It shouldn't be that hard to identify what block they're breaking then identify that type of block is that position.

[quiet ice]

End of life

[normal isle]

k

[tardy delta]

lol

[quiet ice]

Isn't eclipse temurin Adoptium?

[tardy delta]

i think ye

wait maybe its a better idea to install java17 for the whole system

i only got 11 dont ask me why

[tender shard]

java 17 doesn't add anything useful anyway imho

it makes no sense for me to require java 17

java 7 or java 8, yes those versions really added useful stuff

[tardy delta]

i went from java 8 to 16 so thats when it did

well 8 -> 11 -> 16

[mellow edge]

don't tell me that they have added 9 new java versions for no reason

[tardy delta]

wtf is internet saying how do i install it by commandline

[quiet ice]

J17 has a few APIs, but no large scale APIs that one would miss like .readAllBytes

[grand perch]

Ehat

[tender shard]

well there isn't really anything useful that was added since java 8 imho

maybe records, but tbh they can be easily recreated anyway

[mellow edge]

maybe some performance imporovements?

[grand perch]

Which one

[eternal oxide]

I like Records

[tender shard]

i like them too but lombok's @Data does the same thing and has more customization

[eternal oxide]

I really dislike Lombok

[ivory sleet]

same

[grand perch]

Oh ok

[tender shard]

I don't, it's useful and it doesn't have any disadvantage

also the logo is a pepperoni

and everyone loves pepperonis

[eternal oxide]

requires special Maven settings to compile. Has to be installed in yoru IDE which causes it to take forever to load

[tender shard]

nope

[eternal oxide]

does for me

[tender shard]

it doesn't require anything except adding it as dependency

[eternal oxide]

also requires a <annotationProcessorPaths>

err

sec, there was a maven thing, just not that

[tender shard]

no

it works without that

[grand perch]

    public FileConfiguration getShopConfig() {
        if (shopConfig == null) {
            try {
                reloadCustomConfig();
            } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return shopConfig;
    }

this is all that's needed

[ivory sleet]

but there are some disadvantages

[eternal oxide]

https://projectlombok.org/setup/maven

[tender shard]

do it lol

[eternal oxide]

startup speed was my main issue though

[tender shard]

none of that is needed except for the dependency

[eternal oxide]

Lombok seems to disagree with you

[tender shard]

I always just add lombok to <depdendencies> with scope "provided" and that's it

[grand perch]

idk which one your asking for

[tender shard]

no idea why they say the "annotationProcessorPaths". maybe that's needed for weird IDEs like eclipse

IntelliJ definitely doesn't require it and compiling it with maven from CLI also works fine without it

[grand perch]

        shopConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(shopConfigFile);

??

[eternal oxide]

Possibly, but as I use Eclipse 😉

[tender shard]

hm well anyway. I still don't think that having to add something to your pom.xml makes the library itself shitty 😄

[eternal oxide]

Didn't say it was shitty. I just don;t like it

[tender shard]

okay fair enough

I also dislike certain things without a proper reason lol

e.g. kotlin

I just think the syntax is ugly

so I don't like it

[eternal oxide]

I've never used Kotlin but I already dislike it for teh same reasons I dislike .Net

[tender shard]

well .net is easy to dislike:

it was made by microsoft

[sterile token]

Nice to see you again

can I somehow get list of plugins that use a certain plugin as the dependency?

[gleaming olive]

How do I get the raw string from a TextComponent ?

[crisp steeple]

.getText()

[gleaming olive]

wait, I mean Comopnent

using the ChatEvent of paper
event.message() gives me the Component

can I cast it ? or is there another way

[ivory sleet]

use the component serializers

https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.18/io/papermc/paper/text/PaperComponents.html#plainTextSerializer()

[gleaming olive]

thanks! i'll try

[quiet ice]

Adventure probably has a dedicated method for this I assume

But if the component serializer does the job, there is no reason to not use the serializer

[ivory sleet]

yeah

PaperComponents::plainTextSerializer just delegates https://jd.adventure.kyori.net/text-serializer-plain/4.10.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/serializer/plain/PlainComponentSerializer.html#plain()

or maybe not

but sth like that

I lied https://jd.adventure.kyori.net/text-serializer-plain/4.10.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/serializer/plain/PlainTextComponentSerializer.html#plainText() <-- that one

[clever musk]

Does remapped mojang 1.16.5 not exist?

[eternal night]

1.16.5 used spigot mappings are tuntime and not reobfuscated spigot mappings

[clever musk]

So theres no mojang mappings?

[eternal night]

I mean, mappings exist for 1.16.5 but spigot did not use them

[clever musk]

RIP

[quiet ice]

Mojmap exists since 1.14.2 or so

[clever musk]

How can I use them?

[ivory sleet]

wait lynx, I must ask, does paper use this singleton or does it create a new instance(in case you're aware)

[eternal night]

paper exposes its own plain text serializer

iirc there is a PR open to use adventures service registry to inject our version, but right now the paper plain text serializer is available at https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.18/io/papermc/paper/text/PaperComponents.html#plainTextSerializer()

[ivory sleet]

ah fair enough thanks for the insight 👍

[eternal night]

Yea so PaperComponents.plainTextSerializer does not delegate

mainly because it properly flattens translatables

tho why are people asking questions about paper in spigot 🤔

[ivory sleet]

ah that makes sense

When i try to setUnlimitedLifeTime, this is Marked red and says "Cannot resolve method 'setUnlimitedLifetime' in 'Item'" but when i put in a variable with an Itemstack, the code works fine, does someone know, how i can fix it?

[quaint mantle]

Sounds like a problem with your IDE.
Btw: Dont make amount and amounts public.
Dont ever make any fields public for that matter.

[manic crown]

okay

[quiet ice]

there are instances where you can make fields public, but usually that is only for constants or immutable states

[manic crown]

do you know how to fix the problem?

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[quaint mantle]

You are most probably just using an old spigot version as a dependency

[quiet ice]

I'd do world.dropItem(loc, item, x -> x.setUnlimitedLifetime(true)); but really it is the same thing

[manic crown]

i´m using spigot 1.18.2

[quiet ice]

Also for building?

[quaint mantle]

Show your pom or build.gradle

[ivory sleet]

I mean they do as most other crowdin projects

set up the set of translations that needs translates

once they complete 1 language they deploy

they use a similar system to adventure I believe

translatable components

but they're still translated server side

perhaps

wym so I wonder

they have to be translated server sided

[crimson terrace]

I am trying to remove an entity while it is unloaded. I put "setRemoveWhenFarAway()" to true because I need it to be, now I cant get rid of it when disabling the plugin. Anyone know a solution?

[ivory sleet]

I mean you can still use packets

[quaint mantle]

Sure they can

Listen for outgoing packets and translate them

[ivory sleet]

^

[quaint mantle]

There is not much you can do besides disabling persistence for that mob.
This way it doesnt get saved when its being unloaded.

ur probs asleep, it works so ty

just curious, apart from players logging out what events do i listen for? i know you mentioned entity deaths but i dont think they'd exist anymore unless you mean i should clear them from the maps that they're contained in withrelease?

and what is the despawn event

[crimson terrace]

damn ok

might just tag it with something in its pdc in order to remove it on a 5 second timer

[lost matrix]

Every event that removes an entity from memory. Mostly despawn, death, chunk unload and disconnect

[quaint mantle]

would this be harsh on performance or nah

im not too sure how to measure performance impacts tbh

[lost matrix]

But if the plugin is disabled then the PDC will have no meaning

[crimson terrace]

disabling to me means onDisable()

[glass mauve]

is there a method to find out in which direction the player looks?for example North, South, West, East

[lost matrix]

Everything scales O(1) in the code ive sent. So it doesnt matter if you have 10 or 100 people online.
You can measure performance by using a profiler like spark or timings v2

[crimson terrace]

so the chance of the plugin being enabled again after is fairly high

[lost matrix]

What are you even trying to do?

[quaint mantle]

u r a king ty 👑

[crimson terrace]

I have a boss mob which I want to keep there until it is killed or the plugin is disabled.
I set the mobs removeWhenFarAway to false in order to keep it there and tag it with some special tags in its scoreboardtags and PDC so that I can identify it. I save the mob inside a list aswell so that I can access it later.
Now onDisable() I am turning on the setRemoveWhenFarAway(), doing entity.remove() and teleporting it to y -100.
None of this actually gets rid of the mob when I reload the server while I am far away, so the mob spawns during onEnable() and now I have 2 of them

[lost matrix]

If the mob gets out of reach (for example when its being unloaded with a chunk) then the entity in your List is worthless.

[crimson terrace]

so I pretty much have to run a timer which removes all mobs I tag for removal as they are duplicates?

[lost matrix]

No that would be horrible

[crimson terrace]

every 5 seconds wouldnt be that bad, would it?

[lost matrix]

Why dont you just work with events?
ChunkLoadEvent -> get all entities -> check if one is your custom mob -> if yes you remove it.

[prime kraken]

Hi there, is that possible to access to my PlayerInteractEvent contents in my PlayerQuitEvent, the events are in the same class

[crimson terrace]

then I could work with the list again

good idea, thanks

[lost matrix]

As long as the List doesnt contain entities.

[crimson terrace]

it contains livingEntities

[lost matrix]

Dont hold hard references to spigot objects

[crimson terrace]

gotcha

uuid it is

[lost matrix]

What do you mean? This awfully sounds like you will be hit with a "learn ..." soon.

[ivory sleet]

lol

[quiet ice]

possible? yes. viable? perhaps. does it make sense? no

[river oracle]

In order to balance out all the time I spend coding I came up with this awesome time management idea. For every line of code I write I can play 1 hour of video games

so I write 1 line and play 1 hour of video games

perfectly balanced

[crimson terrace]

its called playtesting 😛

[crimson terrace]

a couple more quick questions. are an Entities ScoreboardTags() secure enough to store a little data in? do those tags get removed in any way? (other than other plugins of course) They persist through reloads and restarts, right?

[lost matrix]

The tags are persistent. Its good for one thing: taggin. I wouldnt exactly store data in it.

[crimson terrace]

Data as in tags which (probably) only your own plugin would use, so you can identify tagged entities with them

[lost matrix]

Yes like in "BOSS_MOB"

[crimson terrace]

ok thanks 😄

[mighty pier]

in an EntityDamageByEntity event - if damage cause is projectile, how do i get the damager?

[crimson terrace]

event.getEntity().getShooter()

[mighty pier]

no

[crimson terrace]

?

[quiet ice]

You need to cast that is

[crimson terrace]

oh sorry

event.getDamager().getShooter

i get confused with those

[quiet ice]

Oh yeah

But you need to cast either way

[mighty pier]

cast to what

[crimson terrace]

projectile

[mighty pier]

e

show

how

[eternal oxide]

if (event.getDamager() instanceof Projectile projectile) { projectile.getShooter()```

[crimson terrace]

depends on the java version youre using of course, but yeah

if its an older one I believe that syntax is not accepted

[mighty pier]

whats Projectile projectile

[eternal oxide]

Java 15/16? creates a local variable called projectile

[desert tinsel]

can i get the consolecommandsender of a subserver with bungeecord?

[crimson terrace]

just ignore that and check for instanceof Projectile, then cast like you always would

[quiet ice]

The alternative would be

Entity e = event.getDamager();
if (e instanceof Projectile) {
   Projectile = (Projectile) e;
   ProjectileSource shooterSrc = projectile.getShooter();
   if (shooterSrc instanceof Entity) {
      Entity shooterEntity = (Entity) shooterEntity;
   }
}

I think it was J15

[manic crown]

is it possible to short this code that I have not to have four times the same code ```java
public static void SetSpawners(CommandSender sender, String team) {
Player player = (Player) sender;
int X = player.getLocation().getBlock().getX();
int Y = player.getLocation().getBlock().getY();
int Z = player.getLocation().getBlock().getZ();

    Location loc = new Location(world, X,Y,Z);

    BedWars.instance.getConfig().set(team, loc);
    
    if (team == "Red") {
        Basen.BaseRedLoc = loc;
        return;
    }
    if (team == "Green") {
        Basen.BaseGreenLoc = loc;
        return;
    }
    if (team == "Blue") {
        Basen.BaseBlueLoc = loc;
        return;
    }
    if (team == "Yellow") {
        Basen.BaseYellowLoc = loc;
        return;
    }
}

[eternal oxide]

loc = player.getLocation().clone();

[quiet ice]

^

[eternal oxide]

probably doesn;t need clone unless you are in a movement event

[quiet ice]

unless you do not want floating-point numbers, in that case it becomes more complex

[desert tinsel]

switch (team){
case "Red":
  Basen.BaseRedLoc = loc;
  break;
case "Green":
  Basen.BaseGreenLoc = loc;
  break;
case "Blue":
  Basen.BaseBlueLoc = loc;
  break;
case "Yellow":
  Basen.BaseYellowLoc = loc;
  break;
}```

[dense geyser]

switch case, do not compare strings with ==, variables can stack

[eternal oxide]

or if you really need it to the block corner coords loc = player.getLocation().getBlock().getLocation(); I think

[desert tinsel]

or use if (team.equals("Red")){

[dense geyser]

switch case uses .equals() so they should be fine with switch

🤞

[manic crown]

okay, thank you very much

[desert tinsel]

like that

[dense geyser]

after looking at the source code of some plugins, they seem to use Lists.newArrayList() a lot, instead of new ArrayList<>(). Is there any actual reason for this or is it just preference? Lists.newArrayList() is a single line method that returns new ArrayList() (no <>)

[quiet ice]

        if (team.equals("Red")) {
            Basen.BaseRedLoc = loc;
        } else if (team.equals("Green")) {
            Basen.BaseGreenLoc = loc;
        } else if (team.equals("Blue")) {
            Basen.BaseBlueLoc = loc;
        } else if (team.equals("Yellow")) {
            Basen.BaseYellowLoc = loc;
        }

[dense geyser]

switch case :angry_pepe:

[quiet ice]

This code is shorter

[desert tinsel]

is there a method to get ConsoleCommandSender to a subserver from BungeeCord knowing his name?

[eternal oxide]

switch is fine. lots of is else is ugly 😦

[dense geyser]

nope

[desert tinsel]

uh, ok

[dense geyser]

you could send a bmc packet and tell it to do stuff with that

but that requires players online

so you might opt for redis instead if you have access to it

[quiet ice]

Or just open a side-channel connection

[dense geyser]

interesting

whats what

actually I should probably look into what a socket is too

[quiet ice]

Just some fancy words for creating a TCP Connection

[dense geyser]

they seem interesting, so far managed to avoid all that jive

interesting

[dense geyser]

a boolean is a person from the planet bool

[manic crown]

would the code work like this (onCommand cases and handing over)?
https://pastebin.com/CDnY0Gkq

[dense geyser]

yellow, blue, red and green are going to execute exactly the same thing, identical data, is that what you intend?

[manic crown]

yeah, for each color one Location

wait, it will handover the color right?

[eternal oxide]

looks fine

[manic crown]

okay, thank you guys

[dense geyser]

bump

[ivory sleet]

yes

there's less of a reason now

but basically decoupling creation and instantiation

(before it also inferred types passed to type params)

[quiet ice]

I rarely if ever used that method

[dense geyser]

what was the point in decoupling them?

[ivory sleet]

if instantiation changes, creation does necessarily not get affected

which can save you from recompiling entire modules by feeble changes

[dense geyser]

so it was created to prepare for changes made to new ArrayList<>()?

[quiet ice]

They probably did not intent on changing the constructor

And they certainly do not anymore considering that it hasn't been deprecated for ages

[ivory sleet]

as said not an intent

but thats the static factory pattern for you

[quiet ice]

I assume the only real reason to use that method is the absence of the diamond operator, but these days (for a decade or more now) it does exist

[sterile token]

How do you compile 1.18 mc plugin?

[dense geyser]

alright, thank you both

[sterile token]

a tuto please im annoyed

[crisp steeple]

step 1: install java

[quiet ice]

There are 4 ways of doing this that I know of, so you have to be more specific there

[dense geyser]

step 0: buy a computer

[quiet ice]

Probably 6 if you consider JDT, IJ and Netbeans are seperate

[crisp steeple]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/build.html

[quiet ice]

So first of all, what build tool is this plugin using?

[sterile token]

Im using Maven for building

[crisp steeple]

mvn package

[sterile token]

I only have on pc Java and JDK 8 installed

[quiet ice]

Then install maven and invoke mvn clean install

[sterile token]

I already done, but then the server shit that im using old java version

🤡

That was my face lmao

[crisp steeple]

newer mc versions require java 16 i believe

[quiet ice]

https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases

[sterile token]

So do i need to install JAva 16 for compiling?

[crisp steeple]

yes

[quiet ice]

Use J18 to prevent doing this again for 1.19

[crisp steeple]

yea

although java 17+ is broken on gradle

doesnt really mater tho since ur using maven

[eternal night]

java 17 is broken on gradle since when ?

[sterile token]

My big issue is that i hve a multi module maven project, which contains a common module, plugin 1.12.2 module and plugin 1.18 module. So i dont know how to compile each module with diff java version

[quiet ice]

gradle being gradle

[eternal night]

gradle properly supports java 17

[quiet ice]

Only recent gradle

[crisp steeple]

idk, whenever i tried to use java 17 on gradle it said something like "java 17+ is not supported go back to 16"

maybe my version was outdated

[eternal night]

you mean not legacy gradle

[quiet ice]

gl updating it then

[eternal night]

what you do you mean good luck xD

[crisp steeple]

gradle updates take ages tho

[lethal coral]

This happens when I try to run this code

    public void attemptBotCreation(){
        new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(bot != null){
                    bot.restart();
                    return;
                }
                //System.out.println(getConfig().getString("token"));
                try{
                    bot = new Bot(getConfig().getString("token"));
                    getLogger().info("Bot has successfully been created!");
                }
                catch (LoginException | IllegalArgumentException | InterruptedException e) {
                    getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Cannot start bot due to invalid/missing token. Please check the config.yml");
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }.runTaskAsynchronously(this);

    }

[sterile token]

In fact this my issue

[lethal coral]

error goes away when I comment out the try/catch

[quiet ice]

You have to downgradle java first in order to update gradle

[quiet ice]

by default you do not have to do anything

[sterile token]

He?

[quiet ice]

As long as you build with an up-to-date JRE/JDK, it will be able to automatically compile even with newer java versions

Worst case you'd have to specify sourceVersion & targetVersion or release

[crisp steeple]

whats on line 23 of DiscordServerPanel?

[sterile token]

Because the common module contains common things for 1.12x and 1.18x plugin module, so if i compile it with java 8 plugin 1.18x said old version, but its if i compile it with java 18 plugin 1.12x said me using a recent version

So its too much shity

[quiet ice]

show us the bot class

You can set the version on a per-module basis you know

[sterile token]

LOL?

[lethal coral]

I'm going to try something that I think will fix it if not I'll go back and show ya

[sterile token]

Not even specific on intellij website

[quiet ice]

This is common knowledge

[crisp steeple]

intellij invented coding

[quiet ice]

(And that guys is why I use recaf as my IDE \s)
