how can i make global $sender

how can I make $sender of commandSender available for any events? So that I can do $sender->getName() in JoinEvent

 

A separate function or variable, what's the problem? compare with Player or CommandSender...

 

hey sofe i had made a ban plugin and onLogiEVENT I have a $player->close(“”, “You have been banned”);
but I want to do $player->close(“”, “You have been banned by “.$sender->getName());
sender getname as in the CommandSender

 

Rather than making $sender global why don't you define the variable $sender on whatever event your trying to use, here il give you some code

PHP:

$sender = $event->getPlayer();//defined variable $sender

Either way you will still get their name by using

PHP:

$sender->getName();//$sender has to be defined

Hope this helped

 

If you were trying to do a ban command, store the name of the person who banned the player and show the name of the person who banned to the banned person: (the sentence was less complicated in my mind)

outside of a function:

PHP:

public $person;
public $banned;


in the command:

PHP:

$this->person = $sender->getName();
$this->banned = $args[0];


in PlayerJoinEvent function:

PHP:

$player = $event->getPlayer();
if($player->getName() === $this->banned){
    $player->kick("You have been banned by ".$this->person);
}


Spoiler: what this will do

Let's say player Steve banned player Alex by running the command /serverban Alex.
When Steve bans her, his name gets written to $person and the first argument gets written to $banned.
When Alex joins, she gets kicked saying "You have been banned by Steve"

 

Not a good idea... once server restarts the global variables will loss there data.

 

Global variables in a plugin will be reset after the server reboots because they store in the server's RAM. RAM's are called as a Volatile Memory. They lose data when they lose power. Something similar to computer's RAM.

 

an easy way around this (but not correct) is to use permissions; when the player is banned give the player permission 'player.banned' and just change the join event to:

PHP:

$player = $event->getPlayer();
if($player->hasPermission("player.banned")) {
    $player->kick("You have been banned by ".$this->person);
}

I do this for a lot of things. Simple and works

 

You're doing a lot for simple thing, my suggestions:
1) Store all this in a YAML File - May eat up your RAM and take time for writing and reading..
2) Use SQLite3 - Simple, lightweight and fast!

With all these, you don't need to get a global variable. It's all there, you just have to get them correctly!

 

Well, I just used global variables class properties (sorry SOFe) because the thread is about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

he probably did the adding through PurePerm's API, therfore PP saves them.

 

I thought config does cache the values? (Well, if you are abusing the Config class for data)

 

You can always store global variables and objects by serialize and file_put_contents method

 

?! and what do you accomplish then. Using global vars has no point in plugin dev.
