Gravity

- Plugin category: FUN ADDITIONS

- Suggested name: Gravity

- What I want:
Something (seemingly) simple to simulate zero-g and low-g on a per-world basis (we use multiverse on our server to create new worlds).

For zero-g, something like forcing players to always be in fly mode would work. If possible, making them fly slightly slower than normal would be nice so it feels more like you are floating than flying. When a player's feet touch the ground while they are in zero-g it would be nice if they stayed floating instead of going back to walking.

For low-g, make it so that jumping makes you go somewhat higher (depending on the gravity level). Two good examples of this would be Galacticraft's moon environment or Sethbling's BlingGravity plugin.

- Ideas for commands:
/gravity toggle zero-g <world> {player}
/gravity toggle low-g <world> {player}

- Ideas for permissions:
- gravity.admin --- full control over the plugin.
- gravity.ignore --- all gravity effects ignore players with this node.

- When I'd like it by:
Whenever possible. I'm not sure how easy or difficult this would be to implement.

Thanks for having a look.

 

badtouch3 This is actually pretty cool but whether it's possible or not, I'm not sure. I could look into this if you'd like

 

That would be awesome.

Galacticraft includes zero and low g environments among other things. I'm not a java programmer, but it might be worth it to see how that mod does it.

Hopefully its something that can just be done server side so clients won't need to install anything to join.

 

badtouch3 So does this server have a modpack that you must have before playing?

 

Galacticraft itself is actually a mod pack. I should have been more specific about that. Here is a link to the forum page if you want to check it out:

didnt sethbling make a bukkit pluggin on something like this?
(Search bling gravity)

if you knew how, you could probably edit some of the files to change gravity, or get someone to do that for you

 

Should be possible! (Not saying i can make it ) Check out the starquest server
play.starquestminecraft.com They got gravity there!

 

Interesting...

It looks indeed like sethbling already made something "like" this
however if you feel like starting from scratch..

• Bukkit's Velocity methods
• An interesting topic about something similar

This should get the dev started
Hope this helped a little

 

dragonhunting That "gravity" isnt very fun. All it does it set your player to flying mode

badtouch3 If you are liking that Bling Gravity plugin I could actually make something exactly like it

And they cant spell suffocating

 

Thanks for this info. I currently have zero Java experience, but it would be nice to learn so I can do stuff like this on my own.

Sethbling's plugin would be almost perfect. It would be really cool if you could also just set the gravity level on a dimension/world basis...if that's possible.

Also, for zero-g, how possible would it be to force players to always fly in certain dimensions and just set the fly speed to slower so it actually feels like you are in zero-g...but you can still control your movement?

 

badtouch3 As in dimensions do you mean worlds?

 

JimsHD
Yes, he probably means Mystcraft dimensions.
Basically worlds yea

 

badtouch3 I think this request look very similar to my plugin Custom Gravity. Heres a link: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/custom-gravity/

Ok, I hope you will find a plugin

I'm not sure where I got the word "dimenson," but yes I was just referring to other worlds.
If it helps, we use the multiverse plugin.

I actually did try your plugin and its not bad. I just wanted something a little different.

Thank you, Shadow. Best of luck with your plugin.

I revised the request to better explain what I am looking for.

That's just gonna look awkward i think

Found something that looks kinda like it, but it's working with a combo of potion effects which isn't really the best way to do it i think (IMO)

Well yea, but it also seems to apply gravity simulating effects (slower fall speed etc)
which is what it's all about ?

Could be mistaking tho

I think a "fun" gravity would be when your player isn't moving, you move slowly and randomly because there is no gravitational pull from anything.

I made a plugin similar to what you wanted in your post:
<Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>
Commands:
/g toggle <lg/0g>
Lg = Low gravity
0g = Zero gravity

This looks promising. I've been busy with work the past couple days, but I'll make sure to give this a try tonight =)

 

badtouch3 Sounds good! If you want me to add/remove/modify anything in the plugin just ask and I will do it!
