    FindMe - Fun with your compass
    Version: v1.2.4

    Quick Links:
    Ever get tired of tping users to other users, and don't wish to give them that kind of power because you want to keep things vanilla? well here's your solution! FindMe will re point a users compass to any user of their choosing!


    Features:
    • /find player <player> - Point your compass to a player
    • /find reset - Reset it back to spawn
    • /find hideme - Hide yourself from others finding you
    • Utilize my plugin for custom /find calls to other locations from your plugin(warps, homes, etc) see below for details
    • Permissions support, these are the permission nodes:
      Code:
      findme.find.reset - /find reset
          findme.find.hideme - /find hideme
          findme.find.player - /find player <name>
          findme.find.custom - any custom call to my plugin
    How to use my plugin's API:
    Code:
    Plugin plugin = getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("FindMe");
            if (plugin != null)
            {
                Location someLocation;
                FindMe findMe = (FindMe) plugin;
                findMe.addCustomCall("some string", someLocation);
            }
    then your users can type /find some string and have their compass point at someLocation

    I just installed this plugin and wanted to do a /find player <playername> where <playername> is one of the buddies on my server. The moment I did this, though, I got crashed out of the game. The error displayed in console is:
    Code:

    Doing /find reset has the same as result. Little bug or something wrong on my side?

    Request: Make it so players can create "findpoints" and then /find location findpoint
    Also, make it so they can privatize the location so that other people can't point their compass to it.

    If there's a plugin out there for personal warps, you can ask that author to optionally add support for mine(it's detailed how to do so in the first post) and you can get this exact same functionality.

    Make sure you're on the latest version of permissions. I already know i'm out of date so I'm going to test/update against the latest and get back to you if the problem exists on my end

    Can the Permissions plugin be made optional for those who aren't really interested in it? But I'll update it soon. I just don't /use/ it so far, it's just hanging around on my server. :p

    Permissions is optional, delete it from your plugins folder, and my plugin will work as advertised(except it won't stop anyone from using the commands)

    Cool, thanks. Removed Permissions for now and it works. :)
    In case there's another plugin needing Permissions around, can't you make it an opt-out feature in a config file so it won't be used for FindMe? Just an idea.

    Good idea, but I think i'll wait. Bukkit is expected to have built in permissions here really soon, which will closely match what the Permissions plugin currently is, once that happens i'll drop permissions support in favor of the built in bukkit style, and this problem wont exist(or require a configuration setting to fix) anymore.

    I also tested against the latest Permissions and it works as advertised.

    Understandable. That's also the reason I try to avoid needing to use Permissions.

    Thanks I did that. Hoping for MyWarp support!

    EDIT: And.... the dev said this:
    @l5p4ngl312 : The FindMe plugin just uses part of the Bukkit API to do that. I could build what you're asking for in without having that dependency (similar to how MyHome does it). So I can add in a /warp point <name> and that'll do what you're asking for :)

    Any chance you could build in Towny support, like an option that players can only /find people in the town they belong to? I can't program or I might try to do it myself with your API. I would be very appreciative :)

    The API was built as a requested feature by another user so plugin devs can implement it if they chose. However, the fact is, support for pointing your compass at something else is a built in part of the Bukkit API. Towny can chose to utilize Bukkit's built in API or use my plugin's API. The problem with me supporting any one plugin is there are so many plugins that handle location based stuff, that it would be almost impossible to support them all.
     
  16. If and when http://leaky.bukkit.org/issues/374 is implemented. Can you make it so that the compass resets back to what it was before? I can't use this because myHome makes the compass point home, but after using this plugin it'll revert to the spawn.

    Also, are you planning on ever making this much more complex (like auto updating location, search range). If not, would you object to me trying to create a plugin that does that (Might develop a race plugin actually......)? I've never made one before and I thought it would be a nice challenge.

    Edit: Also, looking at the source (as I haven't installed it due to the above reason) I think you should change the text to "Your compass is pointing to <Name>'s last know location".

    OK, not sure what my problem is. I updated to the latest Permissions plugin verison after reading your suggestion to the other guy with the same problem and seeing it worked for him. However, I still have this issue:
    I do a "/find player aquaria1" and it crashes my client, error log follows:

    If you're asking, then I assume you tried and it didn't work? I'll look into it tomorrow.
