    Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

    PLUGIN:
    I have an amazing idea for a new plugin. It would help me and many others. Can somebody create a simple plugin that makes text pop out of whatever you kill, a player or a mob. The text can be configured in a separate configuration file. I want something similar to the damage indicators mod but this doesn't pop out the health but just a piece of set text or number.

    EXTRAS:
    If you can, you could integrate this with the scoreboard so for example you have a scoreboard containing the number of players killed. When you kill someone it will display that score so for example you had 6 kills. You now kill a player and it will display 7 just as a number.

    Thank you.

    Ah, something using HoloAPI maybe? When I got time for it I will take a look at it. Idea seems great.
    Should the text be configurable in the config.yml file? Ofc it should...
     
  5. l4p4k Not very descriptive. AronTheGamer Good idea, also a good idea for 1.8 would be with titles. (I know we can't do it yet but it would be nice)

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. What is it you would like to know more? I had the idea from the damage indicators mod that makes the damage you do to anythin, pop out of their body. What I want is when you kill a person , text (configured in the config.yml) is shown where you killed them like fps games like call of duty and battlefield have kill score this has a configured text display. I hope I was clear.

    @AaronTheGamer yes holo api seems good. I dont know much about it but from what I've read on its bukkit page it looks like the kind of thing this plugin could use.

  7. l4p4k You can not make it "popout" you could make it in chat.

    Hologram api. Invisible mob with visible nametag at any random location.
     
  9. timtower That would be a lot of holograms though and wouldn't look the best.
