📚Placeholders

All numerical placeholders can be incremented or decremented.

  • Example : %amount%+6 (Increase)

    • %amount% = 15

    • %amount% + 6 =

    • (15) + 6 = 21

  • Example : %amount%-8 (Decrease)

    • %amount% = 14

    • %amount% - 8 =

    • (14) - 8 = 6

But you can also you the math placeholders of PlaceholderAPI

  • EI placeholders are parsed first before PlaceholderAPI placeholders are parsed.

  • Examples of using an EI placeholder inside of a math placeholder

    • %math_0_(%usage%)*10%

  • EI placeholders are pre-parsed and any placeholders that are not ei are parsed upon command activation so you can use ei placeholders for xyz coordinates and not worry about change in values

Miscellaneous Placeholders

%rand:MIN_VALUE|MAX_VALUE% : Randomizer value

  • Example : %rand:10|100% - Generates a number between 10-100

  • Supports negative value | MIN_VALUE must be < than MAX_VALUE

Even if there are multiple %rand:MIN_VALUE|MAX_VALUE% placeholders in a command line, it would still give the same number so if you want a rng placeholder that would give different answers for every of its placeholder that exists in the command line, use PlaceholderAPI's RNG Expansion

%timestamp% -> gets the current time

%score_cooldown_{plugin}:{object_id}:{activator_id}% -> gets the cooldown, it works for all plugins. Examples:

  • %score_cooldown_EI:Free_Lotery:activator1%

  • %score_cooldown_EI:cybert1:activator6_int%

PLAYER_WRITE_COMMAND | PLAYER_SEND_MESSAGE

  • For this activator you will be able to use the arguments provided by the user in your EI Command or as placeholders conditions, for example:

Command: modify

  • Input by player:

    • /modify 5

  • We can take that "5" using the %arg1% argument

  • If the player would write /modify diamond_sword 10 true

  • The inputs would be the next

    • %arg0% = modify

    • %arg1% = diamond_sword

    • %arg2% = 10

    • %arg3% = true

  • If you want to get all the args the player wrote use %all_args%

  • Or all the args without the first one (useful for commands) %all_args_without_first%

DAMAGE_BOOST

  • For this command you can get the boost given by the custom player command DAMAGE_BOOST {modification in percentage example 100} {timeinticks}

    • %score_cmd-damage-boost%

DAMAGE_RESISTANCE

  • For this command you can get the boost given by the custom player command DAMAGE_RESISTANCE {modification in percentage example 100} {timeinticks}

    • %score_cmd-damage-resistance%

COOLDOWN

  • You can get the cooldown in seconds like that with %score_cooldown_{plugin}:{object_id}:{activator_id}%

Example: %score_cooldown_EI:Free_Lotery:activator1%

It returns the cooldown of the activator1 of the EI Free_Lotery. It works with EE, EB, EI, EL cooldowns.
