Bukkit

Ok, I need some help with my YAML formatting. I cannot get this past an online parser.

Problem 1: "glassBreaksDoesDamage" gives an error when I try to use it. Comment it out, and continue parsing.

Problem 2: "damagedLeather" gives an error when I define it. I'm trying to make the equivalent of a curly brace choose one list, and I thought I understood the syntax here.

Change that to a curly brace, and continue

Problem 3: "selfdrop" gives an error when I try to use it. Comment it out, and continue parsing.

The result after all that: It looks like it parsed correctly, but all the commented out stuff means it's not doing what I want.

So ... what did I mess up on the use of aliases? What is the proper syntax of the curly brace stuff?

I'm going to request two aliases:
action: ATTACK
action: USE

as aliases for
action: LEFT_CLICK
action: RIGHT_CLICK

Not all of us are right handed mouse users. Some are left handed, some use keyboards and trackpads, etc.

Ok, lets start at zero, and see if I even have this much right.

First, ignoring the file-specific defaults (example: od-dyewool.yml includes "defaults: actions: right-click", which only affects that file, and does not change the action from break for the other files), the file syntax seems to be (and forgive me for not quite remembering the parser syntax perfectly, but I think this is close enough)

otherdrops: # keyword, must be used in this form
    OBJECT:  # identifies a YAML map, "OBJECT" is a parameter you set
        - { list } # and "list" is a string of YAML maps, keyword colon value, identifying tools, actions, conditions, replacements, etc.
        - { list } # Another list of YAML maps
        - { list } # as many lists of maps of key/value pairs you want
        - { list } # ... and "UNIQUE" and "EXCLUSIVE" apply different forms of restrictions ...
               # and then there's "chance:" keywords, and conditional lists ... help here please?
    OBJECT2: # And a new object/block/creature/item
        - { list } # ... etc.

Second: The OBJECT's can be blocks, creatures, entities (minecarts, boats, paintings), players. But not inventory items.
Third: The various lists can contain actions. If no ACTION: <trigger> is specified, then the file's default is used; if none is specified, BREAK is assumed. It can be changed to RIGHT_CLICK (use) or LEFT_CLICK (attack).

* ASSUMPTION *: "use" and "attack" will work even if you have mapped them to something other than a mouse click.

Example: A Hoe, with right click, on dirt, becomes farmland, without having to attack/break the dirt.

otherdrops:
    GRASS:
        - tool: ANY_HOE
          action: RIGHT_CLICK
          replacementblock: FARMLAND
          damagetool: 1   # Apply one point of wear to the tool

Better: Define an alias for that list of 4 maps, so that the same list can be applied to dirt or mycelium.

... and now, if I understand things correctly, an alias can only be defined either in its own top level section (alias: instead of otherdrops:), or as an "define as it is used" in-place definition, similar to &glassbreak in fixundroppables. That means AFTER the block name (GRASS:) and before the start of the list (before the -tool: line).

aliases:
    &Farmland:
        - tool: ANY_HOE
          action: RIGHT_CLICK
          replacementblock: FARMLAND
          damagetool: 1   # Apply one point of wear to the tool

otherdrops:
    GRASS:
        *Farmland
    DIRT:
        *Farmland
    MYCELIUM
        *Farmland

But nothing says that there can only be one section for a block. So later I could say that grass does not drop as itself.

aliases:
    &AsDirt
        - tool: ANY
          action: BREAK
          drop: DIRT

otherdrops:
    GRASS:
        *AsDirt
    MYCELIUM:
        *AsDirt
    FARMLAND:
        *AsDirt

And both of those groups -- the farming and the digging -- can work together even if out of order as I have shown.
In fact, order does not matter -- as long as there is no "UNIQUE" specified, everything is applied. UNIQUE with a chance means that that one clause overrides everything else some percent of the time. If a drop clause is duplicated (perhaps being in several example files), it will trigger multiple times.

But this last bit isn't accurate. I have "tool: ANY". It should be "tool: ANY_SHOVEL", with one point of damage, tool: AIR with no damage, and tool: ANYTHING_ELSE with 2 damage.

Ok, so how do you specify "ANYTHING ELSE"?

I am trying to read the documentation here on the wiki (instead of just looking over the samples), and the alises's page has garbled markup that I cannot decipher.

How can I have SILK_TOUCH do one thing, and non-SILK_TOUCH do something else? I cannot find a toggle for any of the enchantments (SILK_TOUCH is the most obvious)

How would I set up a set of exclusive chance drops? Just as a simple example: Lets say a zombie were to have a 25% chance of dropping a leather helm, or leather chestplate, or leather boots, or leather leggings. Guaranteed to drop one, but a 25% chance of any of them. For bonus points, make them damaged and almost dead (5-10 hits left).

(Makes more sense than killing 30 cows after spending 60 wheat making babies :-).

Fix-undroppables has this. Is it even need anymore?
    # Stairs drop stairs rather than a block
    WOOD_STAIRS:
        - tool: ANY_AXE
          drop: WOOD_STAIRS
    COBBLESTONE_STAIRS:
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: COBBLESTONE_STAIRS
    BRICK_STAIRS:
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: BRICK_STAIRS
    SMOOTH_STAIRS:
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: SMOOTH_STAIRS
 
How can I have something happen based on light level? Right now I can have things based on day or night. I want, for example, to say "Breaking grass in the dark may spawn a zombie" -- surface dirt where someone may have died sort of test.

With regard to this --
        ICE:
            - tool: GOLD_PICKAXE
              drop: ICE
              chance: 40
            - world: world_nether
              drop: NOTHING        # disable ice dropping water in the nether
How would I say "Do not drop water in the nether, but you still have the chance of getting an ice block" (in other words, override the default water but still leave the gold tool special)

For trees: I can find GENERIC, BIRCH, and REDWOOD; what's the 4th type called? Can these be used with WOOD_PLANKS?

err, where are PLANKS? I just checked, and they don't exist in the materials list.

  PLAYER:
    - tool: ALL
      drop: ZOMBIE
      quantity: 1

Am I correct in reading that as "Do not drop your inventory, it is destroyed"?
If so, how would I also drop inventory and worn armor?

        REDSTONE_ORE:
            - tool: GOLD_PICKAXE
              drop: GLOWSTONE_DUST
              quantity: 4
        GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE:
            - tool: GOLD_PICKAXE
              drop: GLOWSTONE_DUST
              quantity: 4

How would I specify FORTUNE to drop more?

##########
# Saddled pigs drop their saddles
###
        PIG@SADDLED:
            - tool: ALL
              drop: SADDLE
              quantity: 1

How would I say "In addition to normal"? Right now "Overrides defaults" seems to be the norm with no way to say "in addition to norm".

Is this being done correctly:?
    # Claysoil. 64 dirt generates about 12 clay balls.
    DIRT:
        &dirt  # create an alias for this config to use in GRASS and MYCELLIUM
        - tool: ANY  # with any tool...
          drop: DIRT # Broken w.r.t silk touch
        - tool: ANY
          drop: CLAY_BALL
          chance: 18.75%
    GRASS:
        *dirt
    MYCELLIUM:
        *dirt

I love this plugin, but I have run into a problem. When using this plugin I get an error with a plugin called Register which is part of Towny. The error is as follows...

Towny developer says that it's the fault of a third party plugin using old code, and when testing, I found that it is otherdrops causing the problem. Please fix this asap.

What is the status of the 1.2.5 version? Is the 1.2.4 version working on 1.2.5? (Yes, I saw that it's beta -- what sort of issues are known for it?

Not sure what the deal is.. but when I try and change a mobs default drop to nothing.. it still drops the default drop.

CREATURE_SHEEP:
        - drop: NOTHING

This very simple change is producing the default drop every single time.. I cant for the life of me get the sheep.. or any other friendly animal mob to drop nothing..

I can change the drop to another block but then it drops the block plus the default.. Anyone else having this issue?

Help... So I was changing the zombie... and my config looks like this:

zombie: - drop: {371/1/50%, 371/2/30%, 371/3/15%, 371/4/5%}

Well most/half the time the zombie drops nothing.... what did I do wrong?

@deleted_6947223

Possibly downgrade then. I don't have the most recent version of vault and it's working fine for me. That's the only suggestion I have. This author doesn't seem to be active.

@Zameil

I have the latest version

@deleted_6947223

Update vault?

I still have this Warning:

Just curious when an update could be expected? This bug with players getting a damage animation upon triggering a custom drop by breaking a block is kinda.... annoying. I love this plugin, but this makes it irritating to use.

@DoubleZ

action: RIGHTCLICK
on the 2nd one (ice) is missing. The rest should work. Also try using:
tool: [8,9]
because they're both waters. Hopefully this'll work. If the [8,9] doesn't make another group and use tool: 8 and tool: 9 on the 2nd one. That should do it.
If you got any more questions I'm willing to try your config and see if I can figure out if I'm able to get it working.
You should also get rid of "replacementblock", because people will be able to destroy the blocks they're looking at with ice/water!
