[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​

Updating as we speak.

@AlexCory21

Yup like he said or use falsebook and create your generator based on an automated ic clock, they always keep the chunk loaded. See my crappy video for details:

Better vid coming soon.

@everyone -sorry if someone named everyone exist and i tagged you

[dupe]​

5​

or to dupe an item​

[dupe]​

278​

added [auto] add a sign that says that and a lever to make it auto push when it has something to push​

 

Hey man, after last update the pistons stopped crushing for me and the console spams me with:
Could not pass event CHUNK_UNLOAD to PistonsExtended

 

Can we please crush players? =3


<3

 

Ehh

"chunks with pistons will now not unload"

Wont that get out of hand quick? People will/can place a lot of Pistons quite easily. Is that really needed, and if not, can it be configurable.

 

@Joy its in the config file

 

Ok great, did not check, figured changelog would mention it

But what does it break if not used? As in, don't need to replace signs if a chunk has become unloaded I presume.

 

no its just if you watched the video made by @AlexCory21 it wasn't practical because the chunks unloaded

 

Ok. This just spammed me when loading the plugin with default/no configuring:

Code:

17:08:36 [SEVERE] Could not pass event CHUNK_UNLOAD to PistonsExtended

Happens with:
KeepChunksWithPistonsLoaded: false
KeepChunksWithPistonsLoaded: true

Both.

Warning due to serius flaws of 1.2 i reccomend you go back to 1.1 until such flaws are fixed

1.3 is working like a charm.

 

Running 1.3 on CraftBukkit 1000, [auto] isn't working.
I get this in my server window whenever I change anything around a piston with a lever:

Hi, I love your mod, but my world crash if I have this sign and add another block :
[Crush]
[NOT]
4,3
And i cant get auto to work! I place a piston with a sign with [auto] and a lever beside, but it doesnt work at all I am new to this mod

 

ok
im still working on auto

 

Feature suggest: a sticky piston can draw just as many blocks as it can push if a command is used on it

 

What about this [NOT] sign, can you make anything about it?
@Infectedd - I would also suggest that a sticky piston can draw many blocks, but the question is what the smartest way to do it is, but I like your idea But you need to write how many blocks it should drag on the sign... or something

And maby you could add so the items infront of the piston (items like cactus) can be pushed into a chast as well

 

@vinstic : how about using a command to define it? The plugin stores how many blocks a piston can draw back in a flatfile.

 

It sounds great I hope matter123 can add that

 

@vinstic to fix it i would open your world in mcedit and delete the sign and until i can fix it don't write any signs with not and the id 3

 

Good, but I always do backup so it is no problem I just write it to let you know about it
What do you think about Infectedd´s idea?

 

@vinstic its good but i need to fix all the bugs first

 

The error is no longer happening, but [auto] isn't working. No matter what I try, it is never pushing blocks automatically. I've placed the sign and lever on every side, etc.
Other functions ([crush], etc) are working though.

 

i know im still trying to fix it.

 

How things going man?

 

it's looking nice . i'ill try it thanks

 

@Dyramisty everything is going fin ive just been forget to commit on my github if thats what your asking
