Restricting Where someone can or can't use a Blueprint.

Furbal · Apr 20th 2017

I know it can be done and YahGiggle's even told me before how to do it but it's been too long and I'm not a programmer so in my jumbled attempt to explain to Jon_Miner how to restrict blueprint usage to someone's area protection only, I've failed to make it understandable. Do any of you programmers out there have a few minutes to explain in this thread or point to the thread that does explain how to do such a thing in a way that this non-programmer wannabe can understand and implement please?

Thank you to all you wonderful people that add to this wonderful game. None of you (including Red!) ever get enough appreciation from the rest of us that couldn't live without your work.

See this post and the following replies.... Think the approach is going to be to wait on the new Plugin.

Blueprint Protection

Since the latest update, the Plugin API provides two new events: PlayerCreateBlueprintEvent and PlayerPlaceBlueprintEvent
This way it's possible to influence this process, e.g. by checking if the blueprint is within a certain area etc. However, this doesn't affect the Lua API (which will be discarded soon anyway)

I haven't seen anyone doing an Area Protection plugin. Is this because the Area Protection capabilities are going to be incorporated into the game?

Yes, you haven't seen it, but this does not necessarily mean that no plug-in is under development...
