[FUN/MECH] PistonsExtended v1.4.0 Add Extra Functionality to Pistons [1000]

PistonsExtended -Extend Your Pistons

Version 1.4.0

This plugin allows you to define pistons that are crushers that crush blocks and if you left click a piston with a slime ball you can toggle the pistons stickiness. To define a piston as a crush you attach a sign to the piston on any of the 5 sides that has the first line of [crush] & Place bedrock i block away from piston like so: P_ where P is the Piston _ is the block you want to crush. The second third and fourth are used to define what blocks can and cannot crush anyone of the lines can have a [NOT]
and that means that any of the data values on the sign are not to be crushed any and items that aren't on the list will be crushed an example sign would be

[Crush]​

[NOT]​

35,46,20​

50,76,1​

​

that sign would mean all blocks except for cloth,tnt,glass,torch,redstone torch, and stone can be crushed​

just a suggestion as i saw you were looking for ideas, in the original piston mod you could throw stuff with the pistons, including humans. maybe an option in the config to restore that feature? bring back the easy to make tnt cannons

 

hmm i could do that

 

thank you, every one on my server was disappointed when the pistons they had been waiting for didn't work like they wanted, they had the cannons already made besides the pistons, all the redstone, and structures were already made, then notch's pistons came out, and it all went to waste, they did have fun blowing up a statue of notch holding a piston though, they'll be ecstatic if i this plugin had that feature. And i'm sure many other people would as well, so thanks for considering it.

 

so though if you put sand on a piston and expand it wont fly but if a sand falls on the piston it will launch it

 

When will 1.1 be coming? since I REALLY can't wait for the change of the length =D

 

well i cant get back to coding until Monday so maybe Wednesday

 

I'll be looking forward to it

 

1.1 will have permission support

 

Can you make pistons able to push other opened pistons? It would be very useful for lifts, for example.

 

no i cant at least not until bukkit has a piston api

 

Had this sign:

[Crush]
[NOT]

Placed cobble, got this error + client crash:

thanks im trying to reproduce that now

 

this sounds like its going to be great i think ill watch this thread

 

thanks @Joy i have no idea what is causing the crash but the error is because the spelling is [NOT] not [not] or [Not] etc

 

So why the error, when I did [NOT]?

 

im not sure are you sure it was spelled with caps and had brackets?

 

Hey man! You still think you gonna make it on wednesday to release 1.1? =D [EXCITED]

 

i hope

 

This looks very nice, I'll be sure to try this plugin out on my server!

 

thanks

 

Would it be possible to add the launching part of the pistons from the original mod with this plugin in the future.

 

Do you mean Entity Flinging?

 

hopefully thats coming in 2.0

 

random idea to think about. Would it be possible to push blocks into a chest? Like, instead of using bedrock you use a chest. and then when the block disappears add a block id to that chest. This idea would be awesome with a cobblestone generator lol

 

do you read the piston activation via redstone activation?
but you should know that a piston could be activated indirectly
if you activate a block beside the piston, the piston is also activated

 

@MG127 i check if the piston is powered or indirectly powered
@AlexCory21 great idea

updated to 1.1 fixed all known bugs added two features

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Nice update man! You still thinking of making further extendable pistons?

 

yeah that should have been in 1.1 but data corruption prevented me

 

Oh well, if you need a tester, I'm all yours.

 

yeah one thing you could test for is that the permissions work PistonsExtended.crush

I now have a github https://github.com/matter123/Pistons-Extended
if you want the latest development version you can compile it.
