Bukkit

@ray73864

I have a lot of exams going on this year, and I seldom find any time for myself let alone time to develop this. The GitHub repository still exists, and it's not exactly complex either :)

No sorry, I probably didn't explain it very clearly. When for example, you get a player from an Event object that has been passed to a callback, that "player" is actually a Lua table with all the functions that the equivalent Java object would have. In that sense, most of the bukkit documentation is applicable to this. The first script page is just to show you an example of how to use events, whereas the events just lists the events available.

So yeah, with whatever objects you are passed you should be able to do the equivalent of what you could do in Java with them, but in Lua.

If that wasn't clear enough - and I apologise if it wasn't - you could maybe tell me what you are trying to accomplish and I'll give you an example.

Cheers :)

I see, I'm going to have to have a proper look at Vault then and see what I can come up with. I'll report back here once I've worked something out.

About the dll, this is indeed an annoying issue & the only work-arounds I can think of are to either compile a 64-bit version of LuaJava or use a 32-bit JVM.

However, I am currently also looking into moving away from LuaJava and onto something like LuaJ which is entirely Java-centric, which I think would make more sense and be much better in the long run.

My apologies, I misinterpreted what you said. In these plugins, do you know if the main class that extends JavaPlugin has any publicly exposed methods that would allow you to do this? Because I think you can get a handle on the JavaPlugin and then cast it to it's object (VaultPlugin or whatever that may be).

If not, then I don't see any way of interacting with that mod from the Lua script. I guess if the plugin author decided to make Lua Scripts an optional dependency, and then expose certain methods to Lua that would allow what you want it could work.

@ray73864

Interacting directly with other plugins' in-house methods is not really doable, the most you can do with the current Lua Scripts API is get a handle on the JavaPlugin. I suppose you could cast it, and from there any methods exposed publicly you have access to.

Other than that though, your code is possible and is shown below (roughly).

local server = getServer();

local onPlayerJoin = function(event)
	local plr = event:getPlayer();
	
	if plr:hasPermission("moderator") then
		local name = plr:getName();
		server:broadcastMessage("Moderator " .. name .. " has connected. They are here to help you!");
	end
end
registerEvent("playerJoin", onPlayerJoin);

Thanks, it means a lot to me :) I haven't pushed a new version yet because I'm currently bogged down in school work (GCSEs this year :(), but it should pick up soon :)

@Gamecube762

I don't think I'm directly allowed to link one due to the nature of DLLs.. but I'm sure if you look on the LuaJava release page (http://files.luaforge.net/releases/luajava/luajava) there's a Win32 binary :)

For anyone who's interested, if you look under the pages section I created a "Your first script" page - it's definitely worth a read, in my opinion :)

@BradleyDS2

I quite like that idea actually, it could create some interesting traps or contraptions :) For a day or so I'm going to stall development and work on getting some decent documentation up and running, as I find that the example provided is quite lacking.
