I have the plugin on my server and it's running fine so far.

My question would be whether the area for querying whether someone is in the portal could be expanded?

It seems to me to be very small and that you have to enter exactly a certain point

as soon as creating areas via api work correctly i will change how its triggered. for now i added the portal assist witch add a small collider to the portal. just walk into it until it stops you and your in the center.

That's weird, I'll take a closer look at this issue Thanks for the log!

With restart, do you mean an actual server restart? Or reloading the plugins via "reloadplugins" or "rp" command?

the reloadplugins command has no effect, i have to restart the actual server,game for sp for it to work if it would help i can get you a cleaner log

also if i list areas before restart with an api created area i get a game crash!

//set name is the way it is as i havnt worked out a naming system yet and null is just boring

public void listAreaInfo(Player player){
        Area areas[] = Server.getAllAreas();
        int i = 0;
        for (Area area : areas) {
            
            area.setName("Area"+String.valueOf(i));
            long areaid = area.getID();
            String areaname = area.getName();
            player.sendTextMessage("<color=green>"+areaname+" : "+areaid+"</color>");
            i++;
        }
    }

seems areas created using the api always returns the same areaId

    @EventMethod
    public void EnterArea(PlayerEnterAreaEvent evt) {
        Player player = evt.getPlayer();
        Area area = evt.getArea();
        long areaId = area.getID();
       
        player.sendTextMessage("Entered Area: "+areaId);
    }
    
    @EventMethod
    public void LeaveArea(PlayerLeaveAreaEvent evt) {
        Player player = evt.getPlayer();
        Area area = evt.getArea();
        long areaId = area.getID();
        
        player.sendTextMessage("Left Area: "+areaId);
    }

both methods return same id for api areas until the sp game/server is restarted

, areas created with creative mode return the correct areaId.

i tried verifying files but it didnt help. so i copied steamclient, steamclient64, tier0, teir064 from my test server and it started working

error and server crash after update!

to much no gravity!

THIS PLUGIN IS JUST FOR FUN!!!! YOU CAN USE IT ON YOUR SERVER BUT I WOULD NOT!!!

was bored so made a small gravity plugin.

/gravity default sets your gravity

/gravity VALUE value has to be a float (-5.0f) default gravity is -9.81f.

/gravity all default sets all players on the server gravity to default

/gravity all VALUE sets all players on the server gravity

entering other commands that start with /gravity can/will cause an error!

again just for fun i would only use on single player worlds!

ps.

if you dare enter /gravity 999.99f.

update 1.1 available

are we able to change crafting recipes ?

version 1.0 is now available! let me know if you have any issues!

is the Server.getAllAreas() not working? i beleive my code is correct but keep getting a null for start position.

public void showareas(Player player){
        Area areas[] = Server.getAllAreas();
        for (Area area : areas) {
            
            Area newa = new Area(area.getStartPosition(),area.getEndPosition());
            Area3D toshow = new Area3D(newa);
            player.addGameObject(toshow);
        }
    }

However, this is a big area (as many players areas are on his servers) and so far I've only been able to make 6 claims, which only cover one full house, part of another house and a farm plot. With the points going up each time (think its now 120 to the next claim) this is going to take a very long time.

i believe yahgiggle mentioned adding a way for admins to give points in the future. for the time being the owner of the server can download db browser for sqlite. open the database in write mode(database.db in the plugin/worldname folder) and go to the points table and add points to the points column. then file/write changes. but, i cannot stress this enough backup the database first!

Quote from Slade_Wilson

As an example, let's take the plugins for the Rust game: in it, the plugins for teleporting home and teleporting to a saved point use different commands without a prefix. And the data about the author of the plugin is registered inside the plugin. Extra prefixes deprive of convenience when using the plugin.

I do not think that the /sethome and /home commands will be used by other plugins that do not relate to teleport.

using a prefix is the way to go. when a /command is used it triggers an onplayercommand method for all plugins. i ran into an issue where it was reading from the database from 2 of my plugins for every command entered. a simple fix was to add a prefix. so something like this:

//plugin 1
if (cmd[0].equalsIgnoreCase("/this")){
    get that database connection.
} if (cmd[1].equalsIgnoreCase("database")){
        do something with this database
        }else{return;}
}else{ return;}

//plugin 2
if (cmd[0].equalsIgnoreCase("/that")){
    get that database connection.
} if (cmd[1].equalsIgnoreCase("database")){
        do something with that database
        }else{return;}
}else{ return;}

in my case it was just getting a database connection for both plugins. but if your doing something more complex you can cause errors in other plugins.

with the above code it prevents any errors that may happening.

also with the api being new there is alot of development going on, the odds of having multiple plugins using similar commands is quit high. in my case there will be a /sethome player position, /sethome area, and /sethome area npc so my prefix's will be /npc, /player, /Area fallowed by the sethome.

nice idea ... but since a server is supposed to restart every 24 hours, I ask myself, does it start from scratch again?

it does not start over when the server restarts.

Quote from SonoBionda

Tested it in single play...I like it a lot...

would it be possible for the menu to open as soon as you enter a portal?

What would be optimal if this is a restricted menu that only offers the travel options ...

for the owner of the portal possibly with a cancel button so that he can then edit the portal with "U" (the complete menu).

the menu auto open is possible but it would have to check vector position every time the player moves then compare this to the database. single player this would be fine, but if you had 20 ppl running around a server you would run into database locked issue as you can only have one connection at a time to an SQLite database. i will be redoing the plugin once the api gets an update.

can u send me a copy of the log?
