AscendPlaceholders
The PlaceholderAPI placeholders AscendSMP provides for showing abilities, cooldowns, and stats in other plugins.
If PlaceholderAPI is installed on your server, AscendSMP registers its ascend expansion automatically. PlaceholderAPI is a soft dependency: there is nothing to download separately for the expansion and nothing to configure. If PlaceholderAPI is not installed, the plugin simply runs without placeholders.
You do not need to run any /papi ecloud download for this expansion. It ships inside AscendSMP and registers itself on startup whenever PlaceholderAPI is present.
Available placeholders
| Placeholder | Value |
|---|---|
%ascend_secondary% | The equipped secondary's name, or None when nothing is equipped. |
%ascend_secondary_level% | The secondary's current level. |
%ascend_secondary_cooldown% | Time left on the secondary's cooldown; shows 0s when it is ready. |
%ascend_primary% | The equipped primary's name, or None when nothing is equipped. |
%ascend_primary_level% | The primary's current level. |
%ascend_primary_cooldown% | Time left on the primary's cooldown; shows 0s when it is ready. |
%ascend_kills% | The player's lifetime player kills. |
%ascend_deaths% | The player's lifetime deaths. |
For what secondaries and primaries are and how they level up, see Abilities. The cooldown values match what the in-game HUD shows.
Example
Any plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI can display these. For example, a scoreboard or tab-list plugin could show a line like this:
Primary: %ascend_primary% (Lv %ascend_primary_level%) - %ascend_primary_cooldown%
For a player running Thunder at level 2 with 8 seconds of cooldown left, that renders as Primary: Thunder (Lv 2) - 8s. Once the cooldown ends it reads Primary: Thunder (Lv 2) - 0s.
Need help?
If a placeholder shows raw text instead of a value, make sure PlaceholderAPI is installed and both plugins loaded without errors. Still stuck? Ask on our Discord: discord.arrowtan.cc.
