    The Rock of resurrection
    [​IMG]

    Hi there!
    I had the idea of a respawn-places all over the world. Walking on the lightstone below the adminium-column would trigger your /sethome command. Whenever you die now, you'll respawn here. Of course you should not be able to use the command /sethome yourself.

    There are some points i'd like to add, but i don't know what is possible.

    1. They should randomly spawn on a distance of maybe 5 minutes to walk (or even better: distance should be able to change), while mapgeneration.
    2. Founding and claiming with Towny should not be able to use near thoose places. This could be optional.
    3. There should be an area of like 5-10m range, where players are save. So there is no way of spawnkilling. (Maybe a higher range to prevent the use of a bow, but this could also be a changeable value)
    4. Of course the stone and the area around should be protected.

    I'd love to help if there is any way for me as a programming-newbie.. (maybe there are some tutorials especially for minecraft?)

    I hope there are more people interested in something like this. Is there already a mod supporting what i request here? I didn't find it.

    Rock of resurrection - with random spawn over the world

    1. Randomly Spawn
    Is there a way to change the world generation to randomly spawn thoose rocks?

    2. The script could look for a 3x3 spot of grass/dirt/sand in the same high (means - with a 3x3 spot of air above).
    Is there a way to check for other stones in a distance of x?

    3. Towny should not be able to use that spots
    Is this possible to script? My idea was to use a town for the area around the rocks. This way it would be protected and there couldn't be other town(y)s. It would also help to protect players of spawnkilling.

    Rock of resurrection - placeable by administrators

    If i give up the idea of random spawn, maybe it would be easier to script...

    4. Create a zone with a trigger to set home
    There are lots of scripts allow to set up zones. Could anyone build a small script, that automatically uses the /sethome command?

    5. Would the script be able to /sethome for a player if /sethome is disallowed to use by players themselves?

    6. Secondly the zones should be protected for everyone else than administrators (or people with permission).
    This could be looked up in the hey0-mods property-script.

    Thanks for reading!

    Ill be honest, this is actually a really nice idea, kinda like a PVP zone too :p
    I'd probably use this if it was made, would stop me from spawning back ALLLLLL the way to my home and having to walk all the way back D:

    We could need this on our PvP-server.. i don't like people to be able to use the /sethome and /home commands themself, to make sure they don't use it to teleport away when under attack. :p

    Server Port supports the basic version of this. In fact, it will save your bind between servers (as it is an inter server teleporting plugin).

    You click on the one of the blocks and it sets your bind point to that location.

    so maybe there is a developer who could use that tool as a basis for the resurrection-rocks? :>

    Just to make clear some points:

    It is a pretty complex one though, since it has to handle inter server communications and such.

    This one would be much simpler, so a stand alone plugin might be better.

    They have an ON_CHUNK_GENERATED hook, but it doesn't look like it has actually been coded.

    One option would be to run the plugin in creation mode once and create/update chunks within a certain radius. This would create a circle/square of chunks centered on the player.

    Plugins can issue commands pretending to be a specific player.

    Given that you have made the pillar out of bedrock, it is pretty solid already :).

    yep. the bedrock was the best-looking material for such a thing :) but i thought of the lightstone around. i like that it'll be easier to find in the night.

    It occurs to me that someone could cause some grief by surrounding one of these in obsidian :)

    xian

    thats why it has to be protected ;)
    also we got a log on our server and the use of obsidian to block something is a reason for permaban. so i dont think we'd have a problem with that :)

    raphfrk, do you know any good tutorials for programming minecraft-scripts? i understand much of the content of the classes, but i am not sure how to make all of them work :>

    or is there any developer here looking for a new project?
    i think that may be why this forum is called "requests" :)

    Do you know how to code in Java?

    There is a list of steps on the wiki. It might be slightly out of date though. It explains how to set up eclipse.

    This is like Lifestones in Asheron's Call. There were a hundred lifestones randomly placed around the world. A player would doublclick on one to link them selves to it. So if they died they would respawn that that lifestone.

    I'd love to see this in Minecraft.

    i'll look it up! maybe i ll get it done, but i'd be glad to see any developer taking control of this :>
    of course there's no problem for me if the plugin was called like the developer or he's takin donations for it. (i am sure i'll donate!)
    I just want this to be on my server :)
    yep. thats exactly how i planned it.

    Maybe suggest this to Notch so we can get rid of the problem with bilding a home far away from spawn xD

    just need 1 thing:

    make admin able to place buttons with "/sethome" command in them and disallow players to use /sethome themself.
    anyone? please?

    its just that one thing. i'd be happy enough getting this...

    xian

    uhm.. maybe a new idea how it could work

    1. disallow use of /sethome and /home for the players
    2. get a new command like /saveme
    this command is like "check if my coordinates are inside one of the admin-placed cuboids - if YES use /sethome"

    isnt there anyone interested in somethink like this? :<

    I'm very interested. But I can't program D: .. I'd love to see something like this !

    thats the problem :< there is no interested programmer atm.
    of course the big idea could need a lot of work, but maybe there is anyone able to create the small /saveme command? i dont think its toooo much work for a programmer wo knows about bukkit. and as there are already addons supporting /sethome and cuboids they could use them...?

    edit: didnt read my privat messages.. \o/ seems there is hope for the idea!

    This is called a bindstone (at least in Darkfall) It would be fantastic if someone can do this, great for pvp games. This was also one of the plugins I wanted to do at a point)
