1.20.1: Command spamming on boss spawn

[willc5]

When a boss spawns, for some reason the spawn command will spam a few times. There are no errors or anything

[kangarko]

What do you mean "spam a few times"?

[willc5]

What do you mean "spam a few times"?

When the boss spawns, whatever command I have for spawning will run more than once

[kangarko]

Send me /boss debug here please, let me know which Boss.

[willc5]

debug.zip When spawning at a certain location (arena) the issue does not occur. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong with the random spawning

[kangarko]

When it does occur? So I can try reproducing. Thanks.

[willc5]

Only occurs when using the "Randomly Around Players" spawn rule. Have tried changing Run Chance and Delay in that rule, but it still happens regardless

[kangarko]

Sorry, wasnt able to find the problem. So I have added a debug key to test it.

On the next version please set Debug key in settings.yml to [spawning-command], let me know what it says when the commands are duped in the console.

Also can you test whether or not it happens when you use "broadcast" instead of "essentials:broadcast"?

Sorry for taking time, hope we can resolve this asap.

[willc5]

Alright I will test this now

[willc5]

Here is the console with essentials:broadcast

Here is the console with normal broadcast

[willc5]

I have a radius set, so maybe it's just making too many attempts to spawn when it shouldn't?

When I set the world boss limit to 1 it doesn't do this btw

[kangarko]

The code says that the Boss is spawning 5-6 times as you can see. But the commands are only run when the Boss is spawned successfully, i.e. appears as entity in the world.

I would need more data, I am sorry. In the next version, please set Debug key to [spawning-command, spawning2] in settings.yml and report the big logs when the spawning is duplicated. It should also say the location of the spawned boss

[willc5]

[kangarko]

As you can see, the locations are completely different. So that means the Boss is spawned 4x at totally different locations. Do you want me to cap the spawning to 1 boss maximum, per spawn rule tick?

[willc5]

Ah ok, yeah if you could add some kind of limit that would be a great addition to the plugin, thank you for the help btw

[kangarko]

Sure, let me look into this in a few days.

[kangarko]

I am sorry, I completely forgot about this. Anyways, I don't think adding more limits will make the purpose. You can configure a global limit in settings.yml > Spawning > Limits under World_Limit as well as in the game inside Spawning menu in the Boss GUI:
