Longer Pistons

I think that this plugin could save alot of trouble with people and making traps.

Why?

1: Requires less redstone
2: Covers more ground


If I could make it so that pistons extend out 4 or even 10 more blocks, I think we would have a nice and easy way to set traps.

 

It makes it alot more complicated and laggy as well.

But is this a plugin request ? Because you're not in the requests section.

 

Not a request, I might make this. I do not see how it would be laggy as it would require less pistons to make things.

 

Considering you can make custom blocks without a client, I'm sure you can figure this out by yourself

 

I know I can already make this, I am just short on time. Watch your mouth smart ass, just because I am not an "open src" kinda guy doesn't mean I need people like you posting that on my other threads.

 

You're so sweet, we should start dating some day

 

It is funny, you act as if I do not already.

 

Let's take it to the next level.

 

Settle down, you do not and never will know anything of my personal life.

I must say that conversation was exceedingly entertaining to read.

Now, to the point: are you planning to make this a Spoutcraft dependent plugin? Because if so, you could just make the base of the piston extension (the rod thing) a separate block, and just track the PistonRetract an PistonMove events. Would be relatively laggy for rapid pulsers and 100 - block long pistons, but it could work if done properly. If you don't want spout, instead of the rod you could use the piston extension itself. It'd look strange, but it'd accomplish its purpose. Lastly, you could take a look into the NMS classes for pistons, and instead of spawning one piston movine extension, spawn 2, or any number desired in pre-calculated locations. It would be faster then using Bukkit, but it would have to be updated every single Minecraft update, as it would rely on Mojang's code.

Also I would like to ask something, that seems strange: Just Friday you were "drowning your eyes in code", finishing said revolutionary plugin that would replace Spout, and now you suddenly have the time to create such a plugin? What happened? Did your efforts on WhiteBlock or whatever your mod was called fail?

You mentioned Spout. You are supposedly going to die soon by a glass sword.

 

I'm sorry! Please! Don't cut my head off!

 

The community doesn't like Spout?

Oh he doesn't like Spout.

 

Is this our first fight? D:

 

I don't think you two were meant for each other.

 

Wow is this a pick post and start a rage conversation.

 

There's no rage here. Just teasing. Besides, this thread will be locked for being pointless anyway? xD It's strayed.

 

why is this thread so amazing?

 

Its funny at how many likes nearly every person who posted on this thread recieved. Now, for the future viewers who probably do not know WTF we are talking about, read this and be ever so slightly amused.

 

I didn't get to comment before it was closed . Being that the thread over there was closed, I think this one should be closed too without any real proof...

Or are we just keeping this open for the lulz?

I believe that this plugin is actually possible with a bit of "hacking" and workarounds.

All without spout btw.

 

I'm still wondering what happened to the other plugin from the other thread.

 

russjr08
Yeah. That one was not possible without a client mod but this one is a bit different as it doesn't require the creation of new blocks.
