Scoreboard Creation

[SamuSonoIo]

Hello! 👋

I noticed that many people, including myself, struggle with creating scoreboards for Minecraft plugins. So, I decided to add this feature to Twilight to make it easier for everyone!

The process of creating a scoreboard is fully explained in the README.md file, and I've made sure that everything is easy to use and well-explained (at least, I believe so).

With my feature, you can create either a Static or a Dynamic scoreboard, or even combine the two. For example, you can create a static scoreboard and then update only specific lines (though, I personally don't see much use for this, but it's possible!).

If there is something in the code that maybe isn't clean, or need a refactoring, let me know and i'll fix it up as soon as i can.

Thank you!

If that's the case, make use of the 'Draft Pull Requests' feature to ensure that merging cannot happen if you're not ready to make changes.

[SamuSonoIo]

Done, thank you.

To answer question 5: Yes, right now i haven't really added a method to do it easily. I'll probably work on it soon then; for now to add a new line you would need to use the setAll or updateLines method again and re set it to the player i believe, but will find a solution.

For question num 6: Sure, shouldn't be to hard

You're still misunderstanding 5.

I'm talking about adding another Objective in another DisplaySlot, such as BELOW_NAME. This is bound to the org.bukkit.Scoreboard, no?

If someone wants to have for example, an Objective for player health display BELOW_NAME, currently they would have to choose between that and a TwilightScoreboard SIDEBAR.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I understand it currently.

Also @SamuSonoIo, have you tested the example code from the README where it references player.name with more than 1 player online?

I'm not sure if I'm being stupid but I can't see how these scoreboards are per-player.

If I join then the scoreboard would say my name, then if you join after it would say your name for both of us I think.

[SamuSonoIo]

Oh, I understand now.
For now, I've only implemented the SIDEBAR display and not the BELOW_NAME.
It is still bound to the org.bukkit.Scoreboard, as you said. When I started this project,
I didn't consider that use case, but I can add support for it.

@joshbker
I didn't test this with multiple player since i didn't have the chance.
But i guess if someone create the scoreboard instance every time someone joins the game every scoreboard should have it's own runnable so it's own name and it's own things.

Alright, yes I think as a library we really need to support those kind of things.

You don't create a new scoreboard instance per player in the README:

Oh my bad then, i made an error in the readme.
Sorry

Will finish to fix everything tomorrow probably,
Thanks for the feedback <3
Anything else that could be useful in this?

I can't think of anything more at the moment, think if you/we address all of the thinggs we've spoken about so far then we'll be in a great position with this.

Hi @joshbker
What do you think about this for the below name?
(Don't mind the semicolon there i was testing around)

[SamuSonoIo]

Hi!
Also works with multiple player with just one instance.

[SamuSonoIo]

I'm also working on some TabList methods since people love to use them together.

I tried almost everything, there are 2 small issues i still need to fix (which i will fix after christmas) then i think it's good to go!

Awesome, thank you for all your hard work on this!

[SamuSonoIo]

Hey!
I've been working on this for a while, and I think it's finally good to go.
I updated the ReadMe and added some examples too.

I basically remade everything, now the entire scoreboard system is in one class, and it only has the methods that are actually needed, no unnecessary ones, so everything is nice and clean.
I took some inspiration from FastBoard since people seem to really like that API...

That's about it!
