Raking and Hoe effort needs to be different than pickaxe

angriff · Jul 27th 2018

Seems you cannot restrict digging without eliminating hoes and rakes for farming. There needs to be a way to clarify the difference between tearing up the land with a pick and allowing players to farm but not dig to the middle of the earth.

This is an important feature that I am trying to implement in my coding but seems the games API Permissions does not allow this.

the permission system is not related to the API, and yes it is very basic to allow/deny general features.

the plugin API can do what you are asking.

Java

public void onPlayerDestroyTerrain(PlayerDestroyTerrainEvent event){
	Player player = event.getPlayer();
	Item item = player.getEquippedItem();
	if (item != null){
		if (item.getName().equals("pickaxe"){
			event.setCancelled("true");
		}
	}
}

PS: you should also do the same or add checks for other items you don't want people to use like the mining drill etc.

Thanks Minos as usual. I was testing the terrain destroy permission and it would do 99 percent of what I wanted but not that. I woke up thinking that it could be restricted using the event technique. You solved if for me. The main man! as always!

It could be simpler for most if the permission just did it automatically. There is a difference between rock, ore and dirt. but then we cant expect it all.

The other thought would be the reverse of your code would make it so you did not have to restrict allot of things as even the stone axe can destroying terrain. That idea is to allow destruction if it is a hoe, I am not sure if the permission would override that. I will test it. Either way I am glad it can be done.

Thanks

well ofc you can change and tailor the if loop to your preferences, even add more than one for multiple items

e.g. if (item.getName().equals("rake") || item.getName().equals("hoe"))

ok thanks.. does not seem you can override the general permission group setting for my opposite idea. You cannot turn a Group Permission off by

if (item.getName().equals("hoe")) {
event.setCancelled(false);
}

probably no Event if you dont allow it.

well if the permission says they can't do it then they can't do it no matter what a plugin says yes

The routine does not work even if you have permissions. I am not seeing the event.

oops forgot @EventMethod

I hate when I do that. Testing crap assuming that it is working and chasing my tail for simple things..

It works fine once you see the event.. THANKS MINOS AS EVER... I owe you a few beers.

In addition to this you can catch the pickaxe and all the regular axes (stone,steel,etc) with the following

if (item.getName().contains("axe")||
