Is there an updated plugin, or maybe a file within the server or bukkit that can alter whether or not a player can stop a minecart by standing on the track? I am part-owner of a server that's dedicated to rollercoasters, and I don't want players to be able to alter a continuous cycle of carts.
There is no plugin that can do this, and unfortunately the Bukkit API has no feature to cater for this, sorry.
If you could, that would be awesome! I co-own a server that is theme park-based, and I'm using Train Carts to have a continuous cycle of carts on each ride. It's a pain when someone jumps right in front of a cart and screws up the entire ride.
Bukkit's Vehicle events are pretty much all broken so it is impossible for me to determined if a minecart entity has spawned, pretty annoying unless I do my own thing which will be more server intensive. Never mind it was me who was broken, I got it to work. For the plugin do you want it to work for all previously made minecarts? Because if you do then I will have to do some kind of update thing that will impact some of the server performance (ill make it toggleable). Otherwise the plugin will just convert any new minecarts that are made. I got this to work, pretty simple after about 1 min of looking that minecraft server EntityMinecart java file. There is a function called collide. All you have to do is make minecarts a custom minecart entity that overrides this function with nothing, and vuala. Edit: Yea i know it isn't part of the Bukkit API but it is possible, and soon there will be a plugin that does this =D EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Anyways it is made, I will make a Bukkit Dev page later, it is 3 AM so im going to bed. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/101267739/MC Bukkit Plugins/NoCollisionMinecarts/NoCollisionMinecarts.jar Just check out the config, it explains settings well enough (only one really). Just to clarify (This plugin only converts newly placed minecarts into no collision ones, unless the "convertOldMinecarts" is set to true in the config!) Edit: @grybo101 @gomeow
Wow thanks a bunch! I've been searching for months for this kind of thing. You really saved me lol. edit: It doesn't seem to be compatible with TrainCarts. Is there anyway to do that?
It's called TrainCarts. It connects carts together and, with the use of signs, allows you to create an elaborate train system involving stations that stop and launch trains, speed control, track switching, etc.
Can't be done with traincarts, as his plugin would overwrite the no collision minecarts (He spawns in his own minecart type just like my plugin does.). You would have to ask him to add it to his plugin. @grybo101
