[FUN/MECH] God of Thunder v1.0.1 - unleash the storm within [1185]

God of Thunder - unleash the storm within!
Version 1.1 [1185]

In the beginning, I just wanted to make a simple lightning-strike plugin where I could snipe mobs from afar (e.g, Creepers) and demonstrate my godly-admin rage on my own server by drawing my sword. Now, I give that ability to other server admins, and in doing so am open to whatever suggestions they may have - don't be afraid to post with your own crazy ideas!

Features:

• Bind any type of lightning to any material (see list below)
• Permissions! (another list below)
• Lightning types:

Code:

Normal: a single strike
Chain: Strike a lightning effect at sight, then strikes all living entities (except the caster) within the configured radius.
Explosive: Strikes and explodes with the configured amount of force (about 4 is the strength of a Creeper)
Diffusive: Strikes an effect and sets fire to everything within the configured radius.
Fake: Like normal, but is just an effect.
Summon Creeper: Summons a Supercharged Creeper!
Summon PigZombie: Summons a PigZombie.

• Fixed the bucket so that it will "catch" thunderstorms if empty and "release" if it has water.
• Automagic file config generation - just paste in the JAR to begin!

Permissions:

Code:

- got.use
- got.reload
- got.type.*
^ (This is a lightning type. Refer to /got check)
- got.bucket

Commands:
- /godofthunder (alias /got) - command reference
- /got check (alias c) - check binds and ingame limits for the world
- /got bind (lightningType) (alias b) - binds the current item to the specified lightning type
- /got set (lightningType) (#value) (alias s) - set the lightning type attribute where applicable
- /got unbind [lightningType | all] (alias u) - unbind the current material in hand, the specified lightning type, or all binding for GoT.
- /got reload - reload the configuration ingame from file


To-Do:

• Commands to strike players with particular types of lightning, or to strike a certain location?
• Materials/iConomy cost for each spell?
• Lightning upon teleportation to another world/location - giving your movement some flair!
• Implement weapon degradation. (causes a couple of strange things currently)
• Add configuration to restrict bind types to degradable tools only? (when degrade is implemented correctly)

Again, I have high hopes for the Bukkit community's creativity! I will consider any suggestions you have, if not for this plugin then perhaps for another (PM me?)

Changelog:

• Version 1.1 [1185] (currrent)
  • Updated for new RB 1185 (about time...)

  • File persistence!

• Version 0.1 [733-766]
  • God of Thunder is released!

GoT archive can be found here.

AS USUAL, I do not support old releases/outdated RBs on this thread. PM me if you have a request for your server in particular, or have any troubleshooting questions that would otherwise clutter the thread.

 

@fatmarley LOL, that's actually how it originally worked. They should only have to bind once, since I've added file persistence.

 

this wont work for me I try doing / got bind fake L and it says Invalid Lightning type

 

"/got bind fake L" isn't a command.

However... "/got bind fake" is.

 

thanks

 

One of users has the permissions -
- got.use
- got.type.*

But this is what is output into my logs when he tried to do /got bind normal

What's your CB build? Item in his hand when he tries this?

 

Currently I am using 935 and he had an empty hand the first time and then a gold sword after I corrected him.

 

Might I suggest changing to build 953? 935 has a nasty security issue...can't remember if there were any API breaks, though.

 

misspell on my part...953

 

Hmm...alrighty. How reproducible is this? Does it persist between logging in/out, and does it do it every time he enters the command?

 

Any chance to disable that annoying rain when using water buckets when in OP-mode?

 

Sure thing. I have some serious updating to do for this and LoftJump...so expect a release sometime in the next week.

 

Updated for 1185! @Kalexer, I'll be getting to your feature request next release.

 

Hi i really want ur plugin but i dont know how to get a bukit server so can u help me! i have windows and mac by the way!

 

you should make the command /godofthunder to /thor

 

Uh....what? o_o

Uh...naw. Just use /got.

 

k

 

i would suggest making it so that admins can bind others items. i would rather not let anyone have the ability of lightning unless i give it to them myself. maybe im selfish, but id rather be able to do that.

 

Not a bad idea. I'll add it to the tracker.

 

I cant seem to use summon creeper or pigzombie, but i can use the rest it says
no lightning type called summon when i do
I tried no spacebar between them

 

Did you try an underscore?

 

@KoryuObihiro would it be possible for a cost set (and configurable) for each type of sword. I was foolish to let one player have it, now all we see is lightning.

Also a cooldown period as well, if you could!

 

Umm, what about a command to set the weather to thunder storm? I have been looking and so far none updated plugin can do that x: alsooo, the command could also include /got thunderstorm [Normal, Heavy, Hardcore], to spam lightning bolts in the server.

 

I think vanilla Bukkit includes this as /weather [on/off], though I have no idea whether it initiates a lightningstorm or not.

 

KoryuObihiro hey you still around?

 

plz update!
i neeeed lightning strikers!!!
no one else has any updated!!!
and this one looks like the best one i have seen.
