Plugin Request Anvil

Suggested name: Anvil Strings

What I want: Using an anvil (or sign) GUI to allow users to write a argument of a set command e.g /nick [Anvil Argument set by player] it would be great if it supported 1.8.

Example Config:

Code:

1:
command: 'nick %arg1%'

Ideas for commands: /anvilstring open [number]

Ideas for permissions: anvilstring.open.[number]

When I'd like it by: ASAP.

Thanks'

#CommandSigns

 

@wxwsk8er Not quite what I want:
For example a server admin sets a command in the config with an argument.

Then ingame a player would do /anvilstrings open 1 Which would result in this GUI appearing:

Which a user could then enter a argument (In this case a nickname) then the nickname would be applied when the player presses enter.

 

Do you know any programming? I could point you in the write direction

 

I don't know enough Java to make this

@TheDianondPicks Are you worried about the anvils breaking? I did a search but no plugins with a virtual anvil feature came up. If you are worried about anvils breaking, use the plugin InfinateBlocks, you look at an anvil and type in a command; it never breaks.

 

@NoobyServerOwner No. This is a plugin to make it easier for players to execute commands.

 

@TheDianondPicks there is no other plugin like that out there.

 

It seems to me like creating a virtual anvil GUI with is impossible. Why? Well the Anvil inventory type was never completed in the bukkit API and using it does nothing at all. I once wanted to make this as well. I tried many things, but was not successful. Good luck!

 

@metmad22 a sign gui would suffice as well @NoobyServerOwner That's the point of plugin requests...

 

@TheDianondPicks no need to be snotty

 

@NoobyServerOwner Apologies

 

@TheDianondPicks The thing is it doesn't matter if it's a command or a sign. The actual anvil GUI is impossible to open with the bukkit API, as it was never completed. You can probably use NMS to do this, but I've never really worked with it to help you there. Sorry

 

@metmad22 regarding your tag on the other thread I have limited Java knowledge

 

@TheDianondPicks Ah. Well if it works, I'll try to make it when I get time.

 

@metmad22 Thank you so much! I don't mind how long it takes

 

@metmad22 just curious If any progress has been made. Doesn't matter if there has been none.

 

I have not. I'm very busy and it will likely take at least a month. I don't even know if I'll be able to do this. I'll give it a try though.

 

@metmad22 No problem

 

@TheDianondPicks All of the plugin seems do-able, but I just don't know how to get the string a player sets in the anvil. I don't really know how to make that part. If I find out, or if it's even possible, I'll try it.

 

How's progress?
@metmad22

 

Wait what would happen when the player does what with the item?

 

@nverdier what do you mean?

 

You could make something close to this? So that when you do /<command> it opens a gui then you click what type of command you want to do and type the arguments in chat, then it performs that command?

Example:

/options
*Clicks Nametag item*
*GUI closes*
*Types "Darren" into chat*
*Doesn't send "Darren" as a chat message but performs /nick Darren*

 

Similar but for example you would have /nick set as command 1 so you would do '/anvilstrings 1' which wouldopen a anvil GUI where you would type the argument and then it would execute the command.
