Queue Scoreboard

It is possible to show a different scoreboard when the player is in a queue.

This is possible using the Queue Scoreboard Activator Event and a scoreboard plugin that supports event activators

Known supported plugins​

These plugins are known to support event activators. If theres one that supports it that is missing, let me know.

If you know any other plugins that support event activators, let me know

Explanation (how it works)​

How this works is that the spigot side of ajQueue emits a bukkit event whenever a player joins the queue. Some scoreboard plugins are able to pick up on the event, and display a scoreboard.

The event is called every 2 seconds while someone is in the queue.

Setup​

In your scoreboard plugin, find how you make scoreboards based on events, and use the event us.ajg0702.queue.spigot.QueueScoreboardActivator. This event is called every 2 seconds while a player is in the queue, so if there is a timeout option, set it to 2 or 3 seconds.

Examples​

AnimatedScoreboard​

queuescoreboard.yml in the scoreboards folder:

display:
    title:
      text:
      - ""
      random: false
      interval: 20
    line-1:
      text:
      - " "
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 15
    line-2:
      text:
      - "&6Welcome, &a&l%player_name%"
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 14
    line-3:
      text:
      - " "
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 13
    line-4:
      text:
      - "&6Queued for:&f %ajqueue_queued%"
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 12
    line-5:
      text:
      - "&7  Position &f%ajqueue_position%&7/&f%ajqueue_of%"
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 11
    line-6:
      text:
      - " "
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 10
    line-7:
      text:
      - "&6Total players: &a&l%server_online%"
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 9
    line-8:
      text:
      - " "
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 8
    line-9:
      text:
      - "&e&lyourserver.com"
      random: false
      interval: 20
      score: 7

Make sure enable-triggers is enabled in the config, then restart the server.
Then in the triggers folder, make queue_trigger.yml with these contents:

#The event that will trigger this scoreboard with full package name and classname
event: us.ajg0702.queue.spigot.QueueScoreboardActivator

#It will look for this method when getting the player to target, so if the player method is getPlayer() you put getPlayer
#You are able to find the method in the javadoc of that plugin, most of them will just use getPlayer as method
target-player: getPlayer

#This is the scoreboard that will be displayed when the trigger is called
trigger-scoreboard: queuescoreboard

#For how long will the triggered scoreboard be displayed in ticks. 20 being 1 second
stay-time: 40

#If the event is trigger more than once during the stay time should it reset the entire scoreboard:
# true will reset the entire scoreboard (starting from frame 0 again)
# false will just reset the timer
reset-on-trigger: false

Make sure that if you changed the name of the queuescoreboard.yml file above, to also change it in trigger-scoreboard in queue_trigger.yml
