Station game selector

Build the Station game selector in game: entries, icons, click actions, live player counts and how players open it.

How players open it

Players open the game selector with the Game Selector item, a compass in the first hotbar slot by default.

Players on clients that support dialogs see the selector as a dialog with one button per entry. The entry's lore shows as the button's tooltip. Other players see a chest menu with the entry icons, refreshed every half second.

Building the selector

Run /station editor (needs station.admin). The editor shows every slot of the selector, 27 slots in 3 rows. Empty slots show as grey glass panes.

Add an entry

Click an empty slot. Station creates an entry named "New Entry" with a paper icon and opens it.

Set the icon, name and lore

Icon: click it, then pick an item from your inventory.
Name: click it and type the name in chat. Type cancel to keep the old one.
Lore: click it to open the lore editor and edit the lines under the name.

Names and lore accept & colour codes.

Choose what a click does

Click Action to cycle through the actions, then click Action Data and type the data in chat.

Close On Click decides whether the selector closes when a player clicks the entry. It's on by default.

To delete an entry, open it and click Delete Entry, then confirm. Every change is saved straight away and reaches every hub.

Actions

Action	What the click does	Action data
Nothing	Nothing. Use it for labels.	Not used.
Run as player	Runs a command as the player.	The command, without the `/`.
Run as console	Runs a command from the console.	The command, without the `/`.
Send message	Sends the player a chat message.	The message.
Send to group	Sends the player to the online server in the group with the fewest players.	A server group, like `bedwars`.
Queue for group	Puts the player, or their whole party, in a queue for the group.	A server group, optionally with a player cap, like `bedwars:100`.

In the data for Run as player, Run as console and Send message, {player} becomes the player's name and {playerId} their UUID.

See Queues and parties for how queues pick a server and what the cap does.

Live player counts

Entry lore can show live counts. The selector fills these in:

Placeholder	Shows
`<group_NAME>`	Players online on all servers in the group `NAME`, like `<group_bedwars>`.
`<queued_all>`	Players waiting in game matchmaking queues across the network.
`<playing_all>`	Players in games started from matchmaking queues across the network.
`<queued_TYPE>`	Players waiting in matchmaking queues of one type, like `<queued_casual>` or `<queued_ranked>`.
`<playing_TYPE>`	Players in games of one queue type, like `<playing_casual>`.

The queue counts come from Scaffold's matchmaking, which game modes like Bedwars and Duels use. They aren't the Station queues from the Queue for group action. The same placeholders work in the join message.

Changing the editor menus

The titles and items of the editor menus are in plugins/Station/menus.yml. See Configuration.
