Method Details

init

boolean init()

Called when an expression is initialized.

Returns:

Whether the expression is valid in its context. Skript will error if false.

isDefault

boolean isDefault()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Returns whether this value represents the default value of its type for the event, i.e. it can be replaced with a call to event.getXyz() if one knows the event invalid input: '&' value type.

This method might be removed in the future as it's better to check whether value == event.getXyz() for every value an expression returns.

Specified by:

isDefault in interface Expression<T>

Returns:

Usually true, though this is not required, as e.g. SimpleLiteral implements DefaultExpression but is usually not the default of an event.
