Skript Plugin FAQ

Create a new .sk file in your server's scripts folder, write your code using Skript syntax, then reload scripts with /reload skript or restart your server. Skript will automatically load and parse any valid .sk files in that directory.

'on' triggers when an event happens (like a player breaking a block), while 'every' runs repeatedly at set intervals (like every 5 seconds). Use 'on' for reactive events and 'every' for continuous loops.

Use the condition 'player has [item]' to check if an item exists in their inventory. For example: 'if player has diamond sword' will return true or false depending on what they're carrying.

Use /reload skript to reload your scripts without restarting the server, or check the server console for syntax errors that Skript reports when parsing your file. Make sure your indentation is correct—Skript uses indentation to define code blocks.

Yes, Skript is designed to work alongside other plugins. Some addons extend Skript to hook into popular plugins, but Skript itself is compatible with most Paper/Spigot plugins out of the box.

Use variables with the save flag (like 'set {saved_data} to value') or integrate with a database addon. Simple variables reset on restart unless you explicitly save them to a file or external storage.

Combine cooldown variables with timestamps to track when a player last used a command, then check if enough time has passed before allowing them to use it again. Store the cooldown in a variable tied to the player's UUID.

Yes, Skript supports mathematical operations, string functions, and list manipulation. You can perform calculations, concatenate text, and work with collections of data using built-in expressions.

Check player permissions using 'if player has permission "permission.name"' or check for specific players by UUID/name before executing the action. Most servers integrate Skript with permission plugins for role-based access.

Poorly written scripts with inefficient loops or constant checks can impact performance, but Skript itself is lightweight. Avoid running expensive operations every tick, use cooldowns wisely, and test your scripts for lag before deploying them widely.
