Addon Developers - Let's Discuss Expanding the API

[jedk1]

Haha. All these methods I didnt know existed.. I have to think of some more.

Simplest way to find out if it exists, and this is what i do, in eclipse type "Methods." and then scroll thru what auto complete gives you. It's very useful while there arent any javadocs.

 

[jedk1]

Another thought i just had, that isnt exactly tied into the API, but it involves TempBlocks. Now as far as I can tell, this isnt a thing but. What if say, instead of using:

new TempBlock(Block block, Material material, Byte materialData);

then doing a bunch of regen code, you could just do:

new TempBlock(Block block, Material material, Byte materialData, Long regenDelay);

 

[SenpaiBlaze]

You could easily do

which is really easy :3

It doesn't seem to work as well in an if method. Maybe project Korra could form it into some way like if (!methods.blockUnder = isEarth/WaterBendable) I know this might sound and or look stupid, and excuse me if I screwed up the format, but really, it could be very useful.

 

[SenpaiBlaze]

Lets scratch my idea above


Block block = player.getLocation().clone().add(0, -1, 0).getBlock();

if(!Methods.isIcebendable(block))

#Bae I love this method now. Thanks Jed for the block idea

I don't know how coding works, nor if what I am going to say is already possible, but I am just going to say it because I think it would be nice.

Maybe allow coders to hook into the ProjectKorra (Items) plugin? So they can add stats to the add-on, and when you install the move, you can use those stats.

Just an idea

Few suggestions:
A isAvatar method.
A getAvatar method
Avatar be an applicable element.

That's all for now, sorry if these exist and I can't find them

they already exist
much like the Methods class, use AvatarState class

Ok thanks

is there a method to block incoming abilities ??
(Like AirShield)

There's also:

Kinda... Air shield uses

Location origin = player.getLocation();

        FireBlast.removeFireBlastsAroundPoint(origin, radius);
        Combustion.removeAroundPoint(origin, radius);
        WaterManipulation.removeAroundPoint(origin, radius);
        EarthBlast.removeAroundPoint(origin, radius);

Can we get a method that blocks bindAbility? Something like Methods.disableBinding(Player player); Methods.allowBinding(Player player);

 

[moo3oo3oo3]

Methods.blockChi()

 

[jedk1]

Methods.blockChi()

no. I said blocking BINDING

Can we get a method that blocks bindAbility? Something like Methods.disableBinding(Player player); Methods.allowBinding(Player player);

BINDING. NOT BENDING.

 

[moo3oo3oo3]

no. I said blocking BINDING

BINDING. NOT BENDING.

Remove permission?

 

[jedk1]

Remove permission?

yes, id love for my ability to have to get the permission for every single bending.ability.<ability> and then disable it, then re-enable it afterwards.

You could just check the top block of your player and make sure it's air and see if it's raining in the world

it requires a little more than that.
1) check the player has nothing above him/her blocking the sky
2) check its raining
3) check the player is in a biome that has rain

 

[Finn_Bueno_]

ow ow ow! I got a good one now!

if(Methods.isUsingAbility(player, ability)){
//Stuff
}

It would be useful to check if someone is using waterspout for example.
