Description

holograms are stacking up while using HolographicDisplays 2.4.3 with ProtocolLib 4.5.1 on 1.8.8

final Player p = user.getPlayer();
final List<Hologram> list = Lists.newArrayList();

for ( Location loc : hologramLocations )
{
    Hologram hologram = HologramsAPI.createHologram( SkyWars.getInstance(), loc );
    VisibilityManager vm = hologram.getVisibilityManager();

    vm.showTo( p );
    vm.setVisibleByDefault( false );

    for ( String line : lines ) // lines come from a config
    {
        line = format( user, line ); //does this placeholder to data conversion
        hologram.appendTextLine( line );
    }
    list.add( hologram );
}
holograms.put( user.getName(), list );

it maybe seems like when they get in entity activation distance
it gets shown to everyone instead of only that player that was set via the vm.showTo( p ); possibly

How to reproduce

Platform

• Server version (output of /version): 1.8.8
• Holographic Displays version (check with /hd): 2.4.3
• ProtocolLib version, if installed (check with /protocol version): 4.5.1
• Do you use plugins to allow players to join with multiple Minecraft versions (such as ViaVersion, ProtocolSupport, ...): ViaVersion-3.0.1

Additional context

maybe some usefull information

    entity-activation-range:
      animals: 32
      monsters: 32
      misc: 16
    entity-tracking-range:
      players: 64
      animals: 10
      monsters: 10
      misc: 16
      other: 24

Please try the new beta version on Bukkit Dev. It natively uses packets, so players should only see the holograms when they are allowed to.

tried it also with entity-* on 64 so they are always visible but then its still happening

you can also see the armor stands being placed/visable for a split seconds

Hello @mechoriet ,

Could you explain me how you make personal hologram, I also tried to make it but I had the same issue, holograms where getting stacked. But this is because I keep creating a new hologram when I want to update the hologram.

So I was wondering how you are doing this.
I am trying to create a stats hologram which I need to be able to update every time on request, but as you said it also stacks for me. Due I create everytime for the player a new hologram on that location.

The code that is used for creating holograms is in the initial explanation.

I already got it, and it's fully working.
