Entries
Data-holders inside a member.
Entries are data-structures found directly inside members, which hold data or meta-data about that member.
The most common entry type is the
trigger which contains the executable code body of that member for standard operation.Short-form entries are relatively uncommon, and hold data in a key-value structure. These are suitable only for holding meta-data.
example member:
entry: value // short-form
entry: value // short-form
The long-form entry is much more common, and is a block-section header. Almost all entries in the default Skript syntax library are long-form.
example member:
entry: // long-form
something
something
entry: // long-form
something
something
The
trigger and verify entries are long-form entries.Entries will vary as to how they will be compiled. Some may serve to give pre-compilation data and will not feature in the resulting class, whereas others might contain code or meta-data that needs to be available at runtime.
When compiling most entries in the
v1 API, the context's MethodBuilder will be available.Writing bytecode instructions from a non-trigger entry is not advised - the trigger may have already completed (calling
writeEnd) so the instructions may not be compilable.Last modified 1yr ago
