Plugin category: [MECH][FUN][RPG][VERY-USEFUL-FOR-MY-HUNGER-GAMES-SERVER]

Suggested name: HideAndGoSeek, PeekaBOO, NoChildLeftBehind, or the generic- PlayerTracker

A bit about me: I'm in the process of making a Hunger Games server (it is not publicly released yet because I need this request done). I seriously do not want people hiding way under dirt, or whatnot. This plugin would be very beneficial to my server. I would like the games to be shorter (by a lot). Many would be waiting.

What I want:

Instructions:

Ideas for commands: None! Trying to make this as easy as possible. But I don't know if you need at least one command in the plugin.yml. If you do, make-up your own!

Ideas for permissions: None! Trying to make this as easy as possible! I would request it to default to ALL inside the plugin.yml

When I'd like it by: ASAP! This is a vital thing for our server!

Similar plugin requests: This one.

Devs who might be interested in this: @DrBowe who is very familiar in this tracking stuff from his plugin (I can't use it because I only need the player locator (not mob or node). Players will be very confused. DrBowe didn't respond to my request, so I have to post here.)

Extras: For anyone who is interested in me (<3) or my server and could dedicate time to develope plugins for us, feel free to add me on skype - icheesiest

Ok. I am icheesiest

 

Hey I added you.. You aren't really replying to my Skype messages . Could you instead PM me them?

 

I can't start a PM conversation with you because you've blocked/hidden your profile. Anyway this was what I wanted to say:

Hey zecheesy,

I'm sorry for not responding! I left my skype running while I was away.

Anyway I have a few questions for your PlayerTracker. At the moment this is what it does:

- when a player rightclicks (the air) with a compass the player tracker starts searching for players in a 50 meter (configurable) radius.
- when it hasn't found any players inside that radius it will give the following message: "[Hunger Games] No nearby players found!" and it will deactivate.
- when it has found a player inside this radius it will give the following message: "[Hunger Games] Nearby player found! Tracking: " + nearestPlayer.getName() and it will activate.
- once it found a player to track it will update his location every second (configurable)
- if a player rightclicks his compass while tracking the tracker deactivates and the compass will point to the players spawn/worldspawn (as it normally does)

Now my question. If the tracker is tracking a player that moves outside of the radius should the tracker be disabled or not?

I probably have more questions but atm. I can't think of any.

 

The tracker should keep tracking that player .

 

Release this publicly please!​

​

Also make each compass different ... like maps or how bookworm does books.​

​

So each compass could be set to track a different player. ​

 

In my opinion, that could take up too many packets and work. There will be many errors, like the player logging out, the player getting killed, the player ect ect ect... Honestly, I think it should track only 1 player.
Edit: If you wanted to have those things, why don't you create a new thread for Plugin Request?

 

Because I already have 2 :/ one is a simple request and it still has no replies.

 

You need to use the format to get replies. Don't request on my request please ;P

 

If no one finishes this by tomorrow morning, I'll do it. It's super easy.

 

Has this plugin been built yet? I also am interested in a plugin that would do something like that.

 

Okay, it is done. I just needed that last information.

You can download it here.

Whoops, forgot to add a disconnect listener. Download this one.

Sorta works. Could you add the message saying who you tracked? And a message when you disable the compass tracker?
You could use something like:

• [Hunger Games] Tracking (name).
• [Hunger Games] Tracker disabled.

This is awesome, thank you for this. Make a proper bukkitdev page with the plugin as I am sure more will be interested.

 

Haha, the error says it wants to convert a sheep to a player. Well that ain't working I shall fix it.

Okay, I've fixed the problem! New download!

Now I know where all the stupid people come from. They are being converted from sheep to humans. No wonder.

 

The true irony lies in your name/profile pic

 

Says the purple dragon.

 

Says the cheese.

Could you release the source? We could use it for a Harry Potter Magic Plugin spell, that would be amazing. You could help by giving Iron_Crystal the source

 

Lol, I am making plugins for both TheFluffey and zecheesy .

 

Iron_Crystal
Your pretty damn awesome.

 

I think this plugin uses a lot of RAM.I had something similar to this in my plugin, but I removed the compass feature because of the RAM.

 

Did you compare the code or something? Because saying it uses a lot of RAM just because a similar plugin does doesn't make any sense.
