    MultiArrow - Custom Arrow Types:
    Version: v0.9.8

    This plugin would not be possible without the work of skeletonofchaos. Thank you!

    Left-click while holding a bow to select the next arrow type. Right-click to fire the selected arrow type. If you hold down the Sneak button (Shift, by default) when left-clicking, you can select the previous arrow type.



    Features:
    • Uses Bukkit permissions
    • Simple to use (no commands, configuration optional)
    • Extensible (developers can add their own arrow types easily)
    • Can give player(s) infinite arrows
    • Optional per-arrow required material
    • Optional per-arrow fee (requires iConomy 5.x)
    Included Arrow Types:
    • Explosive - Small explosion at the destination
    • Lightning - Lightning strikes the destination
    • Drill - Creates a hole under block/entity, great for catching animals
    • Water - Creates small patch of water at the destination
    • Torch - Places a torch at the destination or lights an entity on fire
    • Animal - Spawns (randomly) a pig, cow, sheep, or chicken at the destination
    • Teleport - Teleports you to the destination or a hit entity to a random destination
    Permissions:
    NOTE: This refers to Bukkit permissions, not the Permissions plugin. There are no '*' nodes in the new system, so you cannot give a user 'multiarrow.*'.

    You need to use the new Bukkit permissions system with this plugin. An excellent migration guide is available here. It will save you time and hassle down the road, as Permissions is no longer the safest, simplest way to protect your server.
    • multiarrow.use.all - Allows users to use all arrow types (default: op)
    • multiarrow.use.<name> - Allows users to use the <name> arrow type
    • multiarrow.infinite - Infinite arrows! (default: false)
    • multiarrow.free-fees - Skip iConomy fee check (default: op)
    • multiarrow.free-materials - Skip extra material check (default: op)
    Configuration:
    NOTE: If you are upgrading from MultiArrow v0.9.7 or earlier, please backup/delete your config.yml and allow MultiArrow to create a new one, as it has changed since then.

    If you desire, you can require a user to pay one unit of a given item to use a given arrow type. To do this, simply edit your MultiArrow/config.yml using the template below as a guide. To add a new requirement, simply add a line with the arrow type name as the key and the type id of the item as the value. Currently, you may only set one id for a given arrow type. If you want to use colored wool or dyes for this purpose, append a colon and the data value and then wrap it in single quotes (e.g. '35:4' for yellow wool). If you omit the quotes, the colon will break your config file until it is removed or properly quoted.

    Code:
    materials:
        lightning: 348
        explosive: 289
        teleport: '35:4'
        torch: 263
    
    You can also add lines to the remove-arrow section of your config.yml to control which arrows are removed after their effect triggers. The default is true for all arrow types (i.e. all arrows are removed after the effect triggers), so you should only ever set something to false here. Here's an example that allows you to reuse teleport arrows (thanks twiclo!):

    Code:
    remove-arrows:
        teleport: false
    
    If you use iConomy 5.x, you can charge players a fee to fire a given arrow type. Note that you MUST include a decimal point with all costs ("50" is incorrect, "50.0" is correct). The following is an example of how to configure this feature:

    Code:
    fees:
        teleport: 500.0
        animal: 10.75
    
    If you are using the fees functionality and would like the users to get a message containing their updated balance whenever a fee is charged, set the option below to true:

    Code:
    options:
        send-balance-on-fee: true
    
    Custom Arrow Types:
    You can easily add your own arrow types with a few lines of Java code. Get a copy of my source code from GitHub and then add your own class to the package com.ayan4m1.multiarrow.arrows. For the sake of example, let's say we want to create a Chicken-spawning arrow.

    Code:
    public class ChickenArrowEffect implements ArrowEffect {
    	public void onEntityHitEvent(Arrow arrow, Entity target) { }
    	public void onGroundHitEvent(Arrow arrow) {
    		arrow.getWorld().spawnCreature(arrow.getLocation(), CreatureType.CHICKEN);
    	}
    }
    
    Then, add your class name to the ArrowType enum. For example, if "ChickenArrowEffect" were the name of our class, we would add the following to ArrowType:
    Code:
    public enum ArrowType {
    	NORMAL,
    	CHICKEN
    }
    
    The plugin will automatically provide that type name as an option to the user, and will dynamically instantiate and run your ArrowEffect onEntityHitEvent/onGroundHitEvent methods whenever a user fires one of your arrows.

    If you have written a stable, interesting arrow type, reply here with a link to the source or submit a pull request from your personal fork to my GitHub repository.

    Can I request (along with all the other lazy/non-Java technical people) for the Chicken Arrow to be a default option in the next build?

    I have added the Animal arrow to 0.5, which spawns (randomly) a pig, sheep, cow, or chicken where it hits.

    What happens if you use a teleport arrow on yourself (catch it from air)? :p

    ayan4m1

    You will be teleported a few blocks in some random direction.

    I'm working on a new video to showcase all of the new arrow types and features.

    Can someone help me? i got the plugin and i left click with the bow and it will only select normal. i tried typing /multiarrow.use.all but that did nothing.

    And also, what would happen if you hit someone else with a teleport arrow?

    There are no commands to use. The problem is most likely that you are not using the new permissions system added to CraftBukkit recently. MultiArrow uses the new Bukkit "SuperPerms" system and does not integrate with the "Permissions" plugin. To fix the issue, op yourself (/op <name> from the console) or give yourself the SuperPerms permission node "multiarrow.use.all". For more information on the new permission system, please read this thread. If you need to migrate from Permissions 2.x/3.x, I recommend using SpaceManiac's fantastic PermissionsBukkit plugin and spending a few minutes transliterating your config files.

    If you hit another player (or entity) with a teleport arrow, it will be teleported several random blocks away. It could certainly be annoying if given to all players on a public server. Using the new permission system you can set multiarrow.use.all to true and then multiarrow.use.teleport to false to prohibit that one arrow type.

    Let me know if you're still having trouble after adding "multiarrow.use.all: true" to your PermissionsBukkit config.yml file.

    Also, because you didn't mention, I have assumed you are using CraftBukkit build 1000. If you are using 953 or any version that is not 1000, you will not be able to get PermissionsBukkit working. As a result, this plugin does not support builds earlier than 1000.

    awsome thanks! i havent updated to the new version yet (silly me)

    K, its all working now! great plugin! thanks so much for your help youre so awesome!
    could you please consider making a few changes though?
    get back an arrow after tp (it just disapears)
    make a torch placed by arrow become an arrow after its broken. (that would rock)

    ayan4m1

    Can they not use all arrow types, or only a few? Do the players get any kind of message when they try to fire the arrows? Can they fire arrows when the selected type is Normal? You're setting "multiarrow.use.all: true" for each moderator individually?

    Also, just to make sure we rule out the simple stuff, make sure you're using CraftBukkit build 1000, and check your server log for any errors or exceptions that get printed out when the players try to fire a custom arrow (posting these would be helpful in determining that there is a bug and how to fix it).

    Glad you got it working. I have added configuration options to control which arrows get removed and which can be picked back up in version 0.7. I like the second idea, but it would make the plugin less efficient... I may make this an optional feature as well.

    You can use the Bukkit's permission system to restrict access so that only moderators/admins/ops can use the more destructive arrow types. You can also now configure it so that any arrow requires a second item to use (glowstone dust to use a lightning arrow for example).

    This plugin was created to be used in conjunction with War, so it was never really intended to be usable by all of a public server's players simultaneously. In any event, I agree that this plugin isn't for all servers and/or players and appreciate the feedback.

    First, great plugin, nice and simple... only downside, I use infarrow, so I never run out of arrows, and now that I am using yours, it seems to prevent infarrow from doing its thing, anychance at getting an option for OPs or a permission node to have unlimited arrows?
     
  20. Offline

    ayan4m1

    I will add a permission node that will stop arrows from being consumed soon. Thanks for the idea.

    EDIT: Added the feature to version 0.8. The permission node is "multiarrow.infinite"

    Sneaky420

    Woot, one less other plugin :) thank you


    EDIT
    Well the download link goes to an error.... and i had another idea...

    I noticed with my trigger happy self that i would not check the last type of arrow i would use, maybe add an option to "sneak"+ left click to change types?

    (ex. left click to hit a door, then a hostile is behind the door, and then boom tnt arrows destroy the house... lol)

    Also noticed when you fire, there is a double arrow?

    Hmm another thought.... sorry for all the thoughts, but this one doesnt seem to work well with "creeperheal"

    it heals the land or buildings after a creeper or tnt goes boom... but doesnt seem to pick up a tnt arrow, maybe the way it is being triggered, i will post about it on creeperheal's thread as well

    I looked at the CreeperHeal source code and it seems that the documentation stating that it could heal "...all other types of explosions (from other plugins)" is not entirely accurate. Specifically, CreeperHeal registers for the ENTITY_EXPLODE event to detect explosions. My first thought is that the event is never firing because the arrow is not explicitly the entity causing the explosion. The explosive arrow type uses the standard World.createExplosion method to make the explosion.

    I have confirmed that this seems to be the case, and I have modified my code to trigger an explosion which CreeperHeal can detect and repair. I have tested this with the latest release of CreeperHeal. Make sure you have updated to MultiArrow 0.8.1 and that "replace-magic-explosions" is set to true in your CreeperHeal config.yml.

    The bottom line is that any explosion created by calling World.createExplosion does not create an EntityExplodeEvent, which seems to be the only way CreeperHeal can detect an explosion. As far as I am aware CraftBukkit would need to be modified to support an event for explosions without a related entity. Therefore, CreeperHeal cannot currently handle all plugin-based explosions as it claims to be capable of. That said, I got it working, so all's well that ends well.

    Awesome :) thank you so much for looking into that and making it all work

    Any thought on my suggestion for Sneak+left click option in the config to cycle arrow types?
     
  24. Offline

    ayan4m1

    I may add options to let you control the activation criteria for the cycle and fire actions. In the specific scenario you explained, I don't see how sneaking would make a difference. If you left clicked on the door, it shouldn't fire an arrow or create an explosion; holding down Shift wouldn't make that action any safer. If you're holding down the left mouse button to cycle through multiple arrow types, I would recommend just clicking rapidly instead, as this prevents a block/door from being potentially broken.

    I may modify the explosive arrow so that it cannot go off within two blocks of the shooter. Several of my testers have blown themselves up in a variety of comical ways.

    Generally, I would like to clean up the way these events are handled, so it is something I will give some attention to in the near future.

    Ok so I tested for a bit, the holes are not being filled by creeper heal, redownloaded and installed both plugins, made sure the config was right for creeper heal, still no go.

    The hole can be drilled with just one arrow, not a bunch as i first thought.

    And the arrows are still being consumed, and i removed the other plugin for infarrows

    EDIT, i guess it took another reset, or the /ch reload feature for creeper heal is not working

    the holes being drills seems to have stopped as well.... not sure the cause then


    I noticed there is a config for multi arrows, are they suppose to be blank?

    ayan4m1

    All other arrow types and features work fine except for the Drill arrow not working at all (when fired at both entities and the ground)? If so, what version of the plugin are you running? Are you getting any exceptions or errors printed to the server log when you fire a Drill arrow?

    No, it shouldn't be blank (although this shouldn't necessarily cause problems). If you have an empty config.yml in plugins/MultiArrow, delete it and let the plugin make a new template for you (reload or restart the server). Upgrading to 0.9 (should be ready in a day or two) will require you to re-create this file as well.

    ACStache

    it's a setting in mcMMO that limits the arrow fire rate. I believe if you set it to 0 it disables it
