New page

==Command blocks==
To change variables using command blocks, you can chain the edit and set commands.

<pre>/variable edit varname set newvalue</pre>

==Variables in variables==
As of version 1.16.5-v1, it is possible to declare variable names inside the value for a variable. For example, you can do:

<pre>/variable edit message set Hello, %playername%! It is %time%</pre>

And now putting %message% on signs (or in other variables!) will display the values of playername and time in-place. This can also be used to alias long variable names, so they can fit on signs.

==Commands==
The following commands are supported by SignLink. For in-game information you can use /help. The /variable command has alias /var.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! style="width: 20%" | Command
! Description
|-
| /togglesignupdate
| Turns sign updating on or off
|-
| /reloadsignlink
| Reloads the variable values in values.yml
|-
| /variable list
| Lists all variables you can edit
|-
| /variable deleteall
| Deletes all variables
|-
| /variable deleteunused
| Deletes all unused (not on sign) variables
|-
| /variable edit [name]
| Changes the variable you are editing. Can be chained with other commands.
|-
| /variable forplayers [names]
| Changes for which players the variable is edited. Only the set players will see the changes you do on the variable
|-
| /variable set [value]
| Sets the currently editing variable's value
|-
| /variable get
| Gets the currently editing variable's value
|-
| /variable setticker [args]
| Sets a ticker mode for a variable to animate the text. Arguments:<br> - /variable setticker [left/right/blink/none] [interval]<br> - /variable setticker [interval] [left/right/blink/none]<br> - /variable setticker [left/right/blink/none]<br> - /variable setticker [interval]
|-
| /variable delete (force)
| Deletes the variable if it is not used. If force is specified, the variable is removed anyhow.
|}

==Configuration==
The linkedsigns.txt contains information of where signs are located. The values.yml sets the (standard) usable keys.

<pre># In here you can set default values for this plugin.
# The ticker property can be LEFT, RIGHT or NONE and sets the direction message is 'ticked'.
# tickerInterval sets the amount of ticks (1/20 of a second) are between the ticker update.
# The value is the thing to display or tick.
# To use colors in your text, use the § sign followed up by a value from 0 - F.
# Example: §cRed to display a red colored 'Red' message.
# You can find all color codes on the internet (they may use & there, ignore that!)
sign:
ticker: NONE
value: This is a regular message you can set and is updated only once.
test:
tickerInterval: 3
ticker: LEFT
value: 'This is a test message being ticked from right to left.'</pre>

==Placeholders==
Signlink supports the [https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/ PlaceholderAPI] plugin in both directions. This means that you can use Signlink to display placeholders on signs, or use signlink variables in other plugins that support placeholders.
* You can use signlink variables in other plugins by prefixing it with sl_. For example, %sl_time% will display the time variable.
* Adding placeholder names to the 'autoUpdateVariables' list in SignLink's config.yml will make them work on signs, with the same name.
* To display long placeholder names on signs, you can use a shorter variable name and set its value to %placeholder_name%

==Permissions and commands==
Use /togglesignupdate to turn sign updating on or off, just in case someone made a huge amount of updating signs that causes lag. Permission nodes (Bukkit permissions):

<pre>signlink.addsign:
description: Allows you to build signs containing variables
default: op
signlink.toggleupdate:
description: Allows you to set if signs are being updated or not
default: op
signlink.reload:
description: Allows you to reload the values.yml
default: op</pre>
