Plugin category: Fun Suggested name: Fireworks on command (I don't really care what it's named) What I want: Basically I just need to be able to launch fireworks from the server console at a specified location. I am using VariableTriggers to make a script that will launch a firework above a players head when they die, but I can't find a plugin that will let you launch fireworks from a designated location. Also having options for color, shape, etc. would be great. Ideas for commands: /firecon <X,Y,Z> <Color(s)> <FadeColor(s)> <Shape> <Effect(s)> Ex: /firecon 575,184,-423 blue red creeper twinkle Again, that doesn't have to be the exact command name. If there was an option for multiple colors/effects, an argument would just be typed with a comma. Ex: /firecon 575,184,-423 blue,red red,blue creeper trail,twinkle Ideas for permissions: firecon.canuse (this isn't intended for regular players to be using, so I don't need multiple permissions) When I'd like it by: Anytime, but obviously the sooner the better.
What do you mean by above player's heads? Like the specific coordinates where they died (Eg. 264.57, 67.83, -478.29?) or do you mean block coords (Like what you used as an example?) Keep in mind that block coordinates are the exact start of a block (usually where the intersection of four blocks are.) If calebbfmv is not working on this, I couldn't tell if he accepted it or not, I would be happy to give it a shot. Unfortunately, however, do to some real-life issues I cannot guarantee that.
JRL1004 I should be able to get this done sometime tomorrow, I have baseball practice at 8-10, so we will see.
What I am using to return coordinates gives me the location of the block above the one the player is standing on, so it would be whole numbers like in my example. My idea was that the plugin would launch a firework from where the player was standing, but having the firework just explode at the specified location will work great for me. I can modify VariableTriggers to give me the coords +(number)Y if it was just an explosion. Mathias, I looked through all fireworks plugins for about 20 minutes and couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help everybody
mfred98 Ok, so what you want is to get the location and spawn a firework there? I could scramble something up. Will have to wait, doing some other small projects atm But I can see what i can do
I can already get the location myself, I just need a command to input the location into, and yes spawn a firework there
I am sorry, but something has come up that I will not be able to do this project, sorry to report! Mathias Eklund take it up?
mfred98 Ok, so I want to do a bit more work on this before I upload it(like a command to spawn it on a player) but I know you have stuff like that covered so I thought you would like it in its current state https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77585859/ConsoleWorks.jar All colors that are in it now are -red -blue -black -purple -aqua -gray -green -lime -orange -yellow Types are: -ball -bball -creeper -burst -star The command is set up like this /cworks <world> <x> <y> <z> <colors> <fadecolors> <type> The permission is cworks.use Hope you like it
Thanks! I'm putting it on my server now. K I'm having a problem. The location I'm getting comes in the form of X,Y,Z not X Y Z . Is there a way you can change the command to require it as X,Y,Z ? Also sometimes the firework doesn't explode, but that's rare so I don't really care.
mfred98 I finished up a more polished version not 100% complete but works well enough and I plan on releasing it soon but this one has methods of spawning it on a player and creating packs for it so like in the config lets say I made one with the name monkey and it was brown and white for fading with burst then I could do /ppworks monkeymanboy monkey or /cpworks x y z monkey and it would spawn it like that anyways I'll edit this with a link to it in a second EDIT: And I believe I reduced amount of times it won't explode and there is a option to have it spawn one when they join https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77585859/ConsoleWorks.jar mfred98 Probably still waiting approval but here http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/firework-magic/
I downloaded the new one and now none of the commands work. Could you please change the location argument to be one solid line (X,Y,Z) instead of (X Y Z)? I need it to be that way for it to work for me. EDIT: I fixed the command problem (forgot to add the new permissions), but the crazy pack doesn't work. I still need the location problem fixed though
mfred98 from what it looks like you want it above the players head just use that command instead and they do work
I would just use /pworks but I was planning on having the firework explode several times within the next minute after the player dies. If it's too late to change the arguments now then I'll just use /pworks but I really would like to have it the other way.
mfred98 Well, I think variable triggers can take individual coordinates you'll have to check. But I would prefer not to change the arguments because most other plugins do it like that and it would simplify things a lot not to change it.
I already checked VT, it can't do individual coordinates, but I think I'll submit a request for that feature. Thanks for all your help anyway, I'll just use /pworks for now.
mfred98 If that doesn't work out I could add a feature to my plugin to play a certain firework for a set amount of time
Thanks, but I think I'll just try to get it fixed on the VT side. I was having some fireworks dud problems again but not anymore so I think it was just a temporary problem.
