Data Storage for LuaLink

[tut13]

LuaLink is a great plugin, especially if you are a lua main(like me), but functions/commands are quite missing IMO, this is not a feature request but rather a chat, has any of you made script functions/commands for example in Denizen you can flagan object with data. And I would like to ask for ways you have done this with LuaLink

With LuaLink, you can create commands and event listeners. Nearly anything achievable with a typical Bukkit plugin can be accomplished through a Lua script. Regarding "flagging an object with data," I'm not entirely clear, as I haven't used Denizen before. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it appears provide some sort of data storage. If that's correct, you can utilize PDC. A simple example of PDC can be found in the grappling hook script I created, which uses PDC to set values for the grappling hook and its cooldown. The message script also uses PDC to indicate whether a player can receive messages. If this isn't the case, could you please provide further clarification?

i'm terrible at giving descriptions

I was talking about "methods" like the ban method that you can use on players, I'm used to Denizen which is basically a readable scripting language and their commands work a little differently and are very specific to Denizen but can easily be achieved in LuaLink, I just wasn't smart enough to think about it that way.

The flag command is basically the same as PDC, thank you so much for the reply! Helped a lot!

Just about every method available in Purpur is available since that is the API LuaLink uses. So for example:

script.registerSimpleCommand(function(sender, args)
    if utils.instanceOf(sender, "org.bukkit.entity.Player") then
        sender:ban("You have been banned for using the /example command", nil, nil, true)
    end
end, {
        name = "example",
})

This just registers a command /example when ran it checks if the sender is a player, if they are it bans them.

Yeah, I didn't really have much experience directly with Purpur API, and was quite confused. Thank you for the explanation!
