Invisible Barriers

I need a plugin that allows an admin to select two points, creating a cuboid area, and setting that as a name, for example fredgate and then if a permissions group has - invisiblebarrier.fredgate they can walk though the area whilst another group without the node will be blocked and cant pass.

 

WorldGuard can do that with the entry-group flag. See the WorldGuard wiki for more information.

 

My only problem with worldguard is that its very heavyweight for the one small task I need it for

 

Very true, it is a rather hulking plugin. However, we originally installed it on our server to accomplish a similarly simple task, and once I started reading up on it and using the other features, it rapidly became an indispensable suite of tools on our server. I couldn't imagine running a server without it, at this point.

 

Not interested in making it. Very interested in using it.

 

Im interested using this as well. I need a plugin that disables user access to certain areas, and only admins can go there. As an example I am currently building a server and I have a WarpHub that has a special admin section that only admins can use to teleport to places, and not regular players. I have tried numerous plugins such as the WorldEdit plugin but could not get it to work.

 

I'm sure someone could get the code from DefaultCommands... It has these borders... I would do it, but I can't really be that bothered...

 

Any Dev interested?

 

I'll see if DefaultCommands is open source. If it is, I'll give your idea a shot



Okay, it's open source. Will commence dissection of source code now.

Just a question... what Permissions plugin do you use? I can do this really easily if you use PermissionsBukkit... otherwise..

bPermissions :/

 

This sounds like a nice little plugin, I hope someone makes it, I wouldn't mind helping out if its needed.
YoshiGenius You shouldnt need to know the permissions plugin as you should be using bukkits perm system, i.e. player.hasPermission("protect.regionname");

 

I know that, but vildaberper did his perms all funny XD

I'll give em both a go.

 

Y u no just use player.hasPermission()? it won't matter what permissions plugin he uses.

 

I prefer the more advanced method:

Code:

public boolean hasPermissionX(Player player, String string) {
    return player.isOp() || player.hasPermission("permission.node");
}
  if(!hasPermissionX(player, "permission.node") {
      //code
}

 

That's not a bad idea...

 

Unscrewed gee, thanks for sharing! =)

 

I agree 100% with c0mp. Read up on WorldGuard and WorldEdit, which you need to run WorldEdit, and you'll find a surplus of helpful tools and commands to make long and annoying tasks simple and easy. Most Developers will not make this plugin because a different plugin, WorldGuard, already takes care of it.

Try using WorldGuard to create a region that denys entry for a certain group, in your case, admins. So to do that, make the flag on the region dney entry, then make your Admins members of the region and it should work.
