Need Help for hooks

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 14:54:11 +0000

Hi all, i have a problem. I don't understand how to do it right.
Need:
When opening the oven or chest, notice the movement of objects, and perform some actions before closing the window.
My code doesn't work because the hook doesn't have the necessary functions.
My code:

Init.lua contains:

PHP Code:
cPluginManager:AddHook(cPluginManager.HOOK_PLAYER_OPENING_WINDOW, OnOpeningWindow) 

Hooks.lua contains:

PHP Code:
function OnOpeningWindow(Player, Window)
     local OnClicked = function(Window, ClickingPlayer, SlotNum, ClickAction, ClickedItem)
          LOG('Clicked')
          return true
     end
     Window():SetOnClicked(OnClicked)
end 

I don't understand how to get a callback to track clicks or movements of objects in an open window.

if I open a new window unrelated to the chest or furnace block, then I can receive a callback.
It works, but the window is not attached to the chest block:

PHP Code:
local OnClicked = function(Window, ClickingPlayer, SlotNum, ClickAction, ClickedItem)
     LOG('Clicked')
end
local Window = cLuaWindow(cWindow.wtChest, 3, 3, 'TestChest')
Window:SetOnClicked(OnClicked)
Player:OpenWindow(Window) 

Hhow to transfer an object to cLuaWindow and whether it is necessary?

Scoreboard team prefix

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 00:34:21 +0000

Since Minecraft, by default, limits the username to 16 characters, it is impossible to create "prefixes" correctly using cPlayer:SetCustomName(name) function. In Bukkit/Minecraft vanilla this is quickly resolved with scoreboard teams using prefix/sufix, which characters limit is 32

As I'm new to Cuberite I tried to do the same in it, but without success. So after many tries i decided to look at the source code on GitHub and noticed that the team prefix on the scoreboard is not used anywhere in the code.

So, is there any way to do this in Cuberite?

Code:
function LoadScoreboard(Player)

    -- Scoreboard

    Scoreboard = Player:GetWorld():GetScoreBoard()

    if Scoreboard:GetTeam("Admin") == nil then

        Scoreboard:RegisterTeam("Admin", "Admin", "§c[Admin]", "")

    end

    Scoreboard:GetTeam("Admin"):AddPlayer(Player:GetName())

end

attempting to make a plugin to spawn giants

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 17:04:15 +0000

Hi,
I am new to Lua and I wanted to modify the tutorial code a bit to create a plugin to spawn giants (1.12.2). I think I got most of it down, but I am having an issue with two different parts of it.
Console Errors:

[12:58:58] LUA: Plugins/SpawnGiants/spawngiants.lua:28: attempt to call method 'SpawnMob' (a nil value)
[12:58:58] Stack trace:
[12:58:58] Plugins/SpawnGiants/spawngiants.lua(28): (no name)

[12:58:58] Plugins/SpawnGiants/spawngiants.lua(35): (no name)
[12:58:58] Stack trace end
[12:58:58] Error in calling function ()

Code:

Code:
PLUGIN = nil

function Initialize(Plugin)

    Plugin:SetName("GiantSpawn")

    Plugin:SetVersion(1)

    -- Hooks

    PLUGIN = Plugin -- NOTE: only needed if you want OnDisable() to use GetName() or something like that

    -- Command Bindings

    cPluginManager.BindCommand("/spawngiant", "SpawnGiants.main", SpawnGiant, " ~ Spawn a Giant at someone's location")

    LOG("Initialised version " .. Plugin:GetVersion())

    return true

end

function SpawnGiant(Split, Player)

    if (#Split ~= 2) then

        -- Send the proper usage to the player and exit

        Player:SendMessage("Usage: /spawngiant [PlayerName]")

        return true

    end

    local CommandSent = false

    local GiantSpawnPerson = function(Giantee)

        if (Giantee:GetName() == Split[2]) then

            Player:SpawnMob(giant)

            Player:SendMessageSuccess(Split[2] .. " has been attacked by a giant")

            CommandSent = true

            return true

        end

    end

    cRoot:Get():FindandDoWithPlayer(Split[2], GiantSpawnPerson)

    if not(CommandSent) then

        Player:SendMessageFailure:(Split[2] .. " was not found")

    end

    return true

end

function OnDisable()

    LOG("Shutting down...")

end

I am new to Lua and new to programming in general. Any help would be appreciated (This is running on a raspberry pi, I am not sure if that makes any difference.)

Working with packets.

Sun, 25 Apr 2021 14:02:22 +0000

I am basically making a Vanish plugin, but it is not working correctly.
In fact, if you use a hacked client, you can still see players with PlayerESP.
So i searched in the API any way to work with packets and stop sending position update packets to the client if the player is vanished.
To do the vanish, i used Player:SetVisible() function.

Thank you!

How to loop all players? - my code is not working

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 07:47:49 +0000

Code:
function OnTick(TickTime)

    local ForEachPlayerTick = function(Player)

        Player:SendMessage("Player never recieves this message")

    end

end

Of course I have added hook

Code:
cPluginManager:AddHook(cPluginManager.HOOK_TICK, OnTick);

but it is not working.
Console is not giving any error.
Thank you very much!

Few questions - v1.16.*

Tue, 30 Mar 2021 15:19:38 +0000

Hi,
I've had enough of server jams with java ... -_-
I would like to switch to c ++ and start using Cuberite. But I have a few questions:
1 - Is it possible to make the server work in version 1.16. *?
2 - Do plugins on the server only work from this forum? Not from Spigot?
3 - Does Cuberite work only on c ++ or does it work with Java?
Thank you for answer

Any way to run a player command from a plugin?

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 20:38:11 +0000

Hello,
I'm planning on making something that allows the console and command blocks to run commands as if they were a player. You would put like /run [SomePlayerCommand] inside of a command block and when powering it, it would execute it as if it was a player in the overworld with rank Admin. Has anyone done something like that before or knows what functions to call to make this work?

And for all those shouting "Just use cPluginManager.ExecuteCommand":
It doesn't seem to work correctly for my usecase. At least not in the way I tried to use it before.
Here is my current code that doesn't work:

Code:
function run(Split)

    if (#Split < 2) then

    -- There was less than one argument (excluding the "/" bit)

    -- Send the proper usage to the player and exit

    cRoot.BroadcastChatInfo("/say You need to provide a command.")

    return true

    end

    cPluginManager.ExecuteCommand(cPluginManager, tostring(Split))

    return true

end

Edit:
I'm so terrible at lua that even the help message won't work:

Code:
error in function 'BroadcastChatInfo'.

     argument #1 is 'string'; 'cRoot' expected.

How should I use cPluginManager.ExecuteConsoleCommand ???

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:41:34 +0000

Hello, I was wondering if I could solve the commandblock issue by making a console command that would use cPluginManager.ExecuteConsoleCommand to simulate a command being run by a player. To test it, I made a new function which simply ran

Code:
cPluginManager.ExecuteConsoleCommand(cPluginManager, "/say Does this work?!?")

It said it had executed properly but there was no message in the chat. Why did that happen?

Broken "for" loops

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 08:19:42 +0000

Hello,
I was making a plugin that had to run something ten times and came across what seems to be a bug:

Code:
    for i = 1, 10, 1 do 

        Player:SendMessage("Pass " .. i)

    end

This should return
Pass 1
Pass 2
Pass 3
Pass 4
Pass 5
Pass 6
Pass 7
Pass 8
Pass 9
Pass 10
in chat.
But instead, i get this error:
'=' expected near 'for'

Not able to run command inside plugin

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 12:01:17 +0000

Hello,
I'm writing a plugin and no matter what I try, i allways have "insufficient privileges "/setblock"". Can anyone help me with that?
Here is the source:

Code:
PLUGIN = nil

function Initialize(Plugin)

    Plugin:SetName("VanillaFill")

    Plugin:SetVersion(1)

    -- Hooks

    PLUGIN = Plugin -- NOTE: only needed if you want OnDisable() to use GetName() or something like that

    -- Command Bindings

    cPluginManager.BindCommand("/setblock", "vanillafill.setblock", setblock, " ~ Changes a block at X Y Z.");

--    cPluginManager.BindCommand("/fill", "vanillafill.fill", fill, " ~ Fills an area from X Y Z to X2 Y2 Z2.");

    LOG("Initialised " .. Plugin:GetName() .. " v." .. Plugin:GetVersion())

    return true

end

function OnDisable()

    LOG(PLUGIN:GetName() .. " is shutting down...")

end

function setblock(Split, Player)

    if (#Split ~= 4) then

        -- There was more or less than one argument (excluding the "/explode" bit)

        -- Send the proper usage to the player and exit

        Player:SendMessage("Usage: /setblock X Y Z [blocktype]")

        return true

    end

    Player:GetWorld():SetBlock(Split[2], Split[3], Split[4], Split[5])

    return true

end

Console Log output:
