DSL: types

Types and variables

Types

The DSL provides those types :

Name	Syntax	Examples	Comment
String	"<string>"	"potato"	Quotes are mandatory. Colors are taken into account (legacy and kyori formats)
Number	[-] <digits> [.<digits>]	43.2, -2	The separator is a dot.
Boolean	{ true, false }	false
Null	null	null
Duration	<number> <time_unit>	3s, 13 hours, 20ms	Cannot be negative. Time units are ns, ms, s, m, h, d (yes, days). The all-in-letter writing is allowed.
EntityType	[EntityType.] value	CHICKEN, EntityType.ZOMBIE	Projectiles are not allowed. See javadoc for more examples.
EffectType	[EffectType.] value	SPEED, EffectType.BLIND	See javadoc for full list.
Material	[Material.] value	IRON_BARS, Material.APPLE	See javadoc for full list.
Location	@(<world>, <x>, <y>, <z> [, <yaw>, <pitch>])	@("world", 0, 100, 0)	Yaw and pitch are optionals.
Entity	none	none	No direct syntax.
Array	[[ <V1> ,..., <V2> ]]	[[ "a", "b"]] [[1,2,3]]	Types must be homogeneous !
PropertySet	{{ <K1>: <V1>, ..., <K2>: <V2> }}	{{ health: 12, name: "foo" }}	The keys are of the "custom" type : a string without spaces and quotes. The values are expression evaluated at runtime.

Variables

All variables are weakly typed. Meaning you don't have to explicit the type in the declaration, and a variable can be redefined with another type later in the execution.

A variable is always written with a % in the code.

All variables follow this regex: %[a-zA-Z0-9_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*.

• Valid variables examples : %a, %I_Will_Shove_63_Potatoes.
• Incorrect variables examples : %42_var %why space?

To define a variable, use the define statement. Check the statements list for more details.
