Easy Plugin, Please help!

Hello, I'd like to request a plugin.

It's really simple, and it would be very easy to make.
I wouldnt want anything past what I say in this, I do have a plan, and it would be very easy.

groups are from pex.

I just want this:
/pickrace <group>
would run:
/pex user <user> group set <group>

and the permission would just be:
pickrace.group
group would be a pex group.

If someone could do this for me, it seems like it would be very simple, and it would be super helpful for my server. Thanks!

Oh, and i feel like mrCookieSlime could do this well... Please?

Players can only type '/pickrace <group>' once?

 

Apple_ You can leave that up to PEX with just the permission for the command:

Default/Unknown: Has perm to /pickrace
Human: Not has perm to /pickrace
Dog: Not has perm to /pickrace

 

You can probably do that with http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/variabletriggers/

 

Gamecube762 Apple_
gamecube has it exactly right. Would either of you be willing to make the plugin?

Skionz thanks but that looks immensely complicated, and it might require coding knowledge (i have very little)

waffles0_0 It requires no coding knowledge. Read the documentation.

waffles0_0 Have you read the documentation? It really isn't that hard. Everything you need to know is in the documentation.

Skionz I'll do my best. Don't be surprised if I come back emptyhanded though

 

waffles0_0 I am experienced with VTriggs, if you are interested I could help you

 

Skionz Using vtrig for such a small thing is asking for unnecessary lag.

 

Nah. However I think a good alternative for that would also be
Betteralias. Take a look at its Usage page.

waffles0_0 Here, it should work

 

timbragg12 Thanks SO MUCH but can I ask you the permission node?

Ok, so I am using pickrace, but it is crashing pex. I started a new config to keep it short and simple.


EDIT - Nevermind, I fixed this issue.

waffles0_0 have you ever wondered if u include staff ranks what is stopping them doing /pickrace owner ?

 

8972legand I just got rid of that rank, I can op them and use /pex user user prefix [owner]

 

waffles0_0 but what about staff ranks? will you have staff and if so what is the point of opping a helper and a mod when they are lower then an owner cuz if they are opped they can deop you and grief so unless u wanna have a server without any staff :/

 

8972legand if u read the first post, it explains it. pickrace.group would be the perm, so u can only use what pickrace.group has designated. an example would be:

Code:

groups:
  default:
    permissions:
    - pickrace.sylph
    - pickrace.benelsian

If they had pickrace.owner, then they could be owner. See what I'm saying?

 

ah ok

 

So here's my new problem: I thought it was working, until i realized that as 'no race' you can modify other 'no race' players to choose a race... here's my config if anyone can help...

Code:

groups:
  norace:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    - permissions.manage.membership.sylph
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&7no race&0] &r'
      default: true
  sylph:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&2Sylph&0]&r '
schema-version: 1

Is there a way to make "permissions.manage.membership.sylph" only applicable to yourself? Anyone who can help, please respond. Otherwise, timbragg12 made an awesome plugin!

 

waffles0_0 Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, if you give me a list of groups you have and who can use them, then I can add the permissions for each group (e.g. someone with pickrace.owner can do /pickrace owner but someone with just pickrace.developer can't.) And I don't quite understand the second problem but I'll deal with that after the first one. And thanks for the follow! It was quite easy though to be honest.

 

Dude just use MyCommand ...

 

timbragg12 Here's my config, but I have one more request: Could you make it so that "/pickrace <group>" would make the console run "/pex user <user> group set <group>" rather than the player running the command? It's ok if thats hard to do or impossible, just a suggestion. The config, by the way

Code:

groups:
  norace:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    - permissions.manage.membership.sylph
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&7no race&0] &r'
      default: true
  cerdonian:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&4Cerdonian&0]&r '
  nordic:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&bNordic&0]&r '
  vodaskan:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&1Vodaskan&0]&r '
  benelsian:
    permissions:
    - essentials.motd
    options:
      build: false
      prefix: '&0[&2Benelsian&0]&r '
schema-version: 1

I left off the players. So the perms would be:
pickrace.cerdonian
pickrace.nordic
pickrace.benelsian
pickrace.vodaskan

Thanks so much for all your help!

 

waffles0_0 I will add the perms now, I'm guessing you want the console to run it as you don't want the message ex gives? I don't know how to do that but... I do know a way (more inefficient but It will work nonetheless) to get rid of the message and add one that you want instead. I'm not too good with config files and that's why I haven't included one so could you tell me what message you would like instead. If you really want a config file I can add it, it should be easy, I'm just not very good with them and they usually (for some unknown reason) don't seem to work.

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if the thing about the messages has worked or not, could you give me your server IP (PM me) so I can test on there as my server does not have pex and although I could set it up on my test server, I'm not very good with it (at all, I prefer GroupManager). No worries if not though.

 

Thanks timbragg12 the plugin is working perfectly.

 

waffles0_0 No problem
