[ADMN/MISC] ButtonControl v3.0 - Control the weather/time with buttons [Vault] [1531]

ButtonControl
v3.0
BukkitDev (download here)



As of the fact i recoded the whole datastructure of the plugin, all configfiles before 3.0 are NOT compatible with newer versions!


A simple plugin to control the weather or time with buttons. Your servervisitors can switch the weather and time for free or for items (Vault economy is supported too). You can use Buttons or Pressure Plates. I´ll include new things too, simple write it in the comments.

Features:

• Control weather or time using buttons
• Control weather or time can cost something
• You can use (Stone) Pressure Plates too
• All messages can be modified
• Vault economy support
• MultiWorld
• BukkitPermissions support
• Cooldown

How to set buttons:

The command depends on wheather Vault is installed or not.

With Vault (open) With Vault (close)

1.type (buttoncontrol.set Permission needed)
"/buttoncontrol <sunny/rain/thunder/day/night> <Money> <Receiver>"
or
"/bc <sunny/rain/thunder/day/night> <Money> <Receiver>"

<Receiver> is the person who gets the money whenever some uses the button/pressureplate

Without Vault (open) Without Vault (close)

1.type (buttoncontrol.set Permission needed)
"/buttoncontrol [sunny/rain/thunder/day/night] <amount> <item>"
or
"/bc [sunny/rain/thunder/day/night] <amount> <item>"

2.You´ll get a message "Press a button!"
3.Do what the message says.
Press the button/pressure plate which should become the rain/thunder/stop/day/night button.
4.If you get an other message, the creation was succesfull

How to remove buttons:
Destroy them ingame and they´r gone. (if you have permission to do so)

How to use buttons:
1(only without Vault).Take the required items in your inventory.
2.Click the button./Walk on the pressure plate.
3.You get a message and your "money" was take away
4.Look at the sky -> the weather/time changed

Permissions:
To set Buttons: buttoncontrol.set
To destroy Buttons : buttoncontrol.destroy
To use buttons:
-day: buttoncontrol.time.day
-night: buttoncontrol.time.night
-sunny: buttoncontrol.weather.sunny
-rain: buttoncontrol.weather.rain
-thunder: buttoncontrol.weather.thunder

Configuration:
Default conig file:

You should clean it up a bit (config file in code/quote tags)
also you are missing the changelog and the download link (rather no attached files, guests can't download them)

other then that, nice idea (didn't test plugin)

 

Cool <3
Like!

oh by the way it's disappears, not what you have in your post

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

 

your download "link" disappeard

 

oh sorry. i fix this. now it´s back

 

put your changelog into a spoiler. [ spoiler ]

 

The latest 2 version changes are required to be outside a spoiler according to one of the Mods here.


@Johni0702 A suggestion would be to allow users to choose a world statically like in your config or dynamically ingame where the world in which the buttons exist becomes the world it controls the weather for

 

Thanks! Ill try this out as soon as I get a chance!

 

hm get this error after pushing a button

Tried it, and it usually works well. It took me a while to realize I had to hold the exact amount of redstone. I kept using a full stack and expecting it to remove 5. But after I realized that, it usually worked fine. I got the same message as Darkride a few times when using the Stop button, but I moved the buttons from my test area to where I want them to really be and haven't gotten that message. Not sure why.
Other then that, it works perfectly! Just what I wanted!

EDIT:
Tested some more, and Im getting that same error message Darkride got quite a bit, though it seems to be working fine.
One request though, could you make the weather stay for a bit longer? About an in game day or so before the game takes control of the weather again? I find that sometimes I use it to clear the rain, and about five minutes later it will start raining again. Thanks.

 

I can´t say you why this error happens, because I´m already working on a new version (MulitWorld compatible) with a new save system. One Question: Do you use iConomy and set iConomy.useiConomy in the Config to true?

 

i have iConomy but i dont want to use it for this plugin


Edit:

maybe timecontrol ?

 

sorry i cant say you why there is an error but in the next 6 hours i will release 1.2 with MultiWorld support. With this update this error should be fixed. i only have to test the version than i´ll release it.

Now it should be better. Version 1.2 released.

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

 

Is the duration in minutes? Or in game hours?

 

oh i forgett to write it in the config file: it´s in real minutes

 

The storm button seems bugged. Whenever I make one, it doesnt give the message saying "the storm button has been created" and when I look in the config, it has weird settings compared to the others:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Storm:
Y:
'0': 119
'2': 119
X:
'0': -81
'1': 0
'2': -81
world:
'0': Civilization
'2': Civilization
Z:
'0': -163
'2': -167

Also, I still keep getting this error when I press any button, and often at seemingly random times:

The error doesnt seem to stop it from working, but it spams up the console.

 

can you give me your complete config file please. I think i know why there is this error.

EDIT: Error has been fixed -> read below

Bug is fixed. To correct your config change it to these:

//all is the same except:
Storm:

'2': 119 //change '2' to '1'

can this be fixed?
thanks in advance Rano Veder

Can you make the same plugin but then with time. that people can control time by clicking buttons?

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

 

I´ll make it. But can take some time. (3 to 5 days)

 

ok johni. thank you

 

I don´t know sure because on my server there isn´t this error. if you delete the config file and restart the server it could work. according to the error something went wrong while loading the world. that could be because a changes in the config file. before deleting it please post it here (so I could fix this error).

 

oke here is the config

Code:

thanks for all your help.

 

it´s like i thought. i´ll fix this error when i´ve time (not now maybe in two hours).if you delete your config it can work.

 

johni, you are awesome. it works now. thanks for your help.

 

one last question that helps me to find the bug: did you use v1.2 before?

 

yes. i used 1.2 before

 

ok than i know: it´s a bug in the savesystem of 1.2 and in 1.2.1 it causes errors the only thing to do is to delete the config and restart the server.

 

i think it are the storm buttons causing the errors, because everything worked fine until i set the storm button. then the null error showed up.

 

I still keep getting this error constantly, even when I'm off building, not doing anything with the plugin.
