Inactive [FUN/DEV] MultiArrow v0.9.8 - Custom Arrow Types [1060]

MultiArrow - Custom Arrow Types:
Version: v0.9.8

This plugin would not be possible without the work of skeletonofchaos. Thank you!

Left-click while holding a bow to select the next arrow type. Right-click to fire the selected arrow type. If you hold down the Sneak button (Shift, by default) when left-clicking, you can select the previous arrow type.



Features:

• Uses Bukkit permissions
• Simple to use (no commands, configuration optional)
• Extensible (developers can add their own arrow types easily)
• Can give player(s) infinite arrows
• Optional per-arrow required material
• Optional per-arrow fee (requires iConomy 5.x)

Included Arrow Types:

• Explosive - Small explosion at the destination
• Lightning - Lightning strikes the destination
• Drill - Creates a hole under block/entity, great for catching animals
• Water - Creates small patch of water at the destination
• Torch - Places a torch at the destination or lights an entity on fire
• Animal - Spawns (randomly) a pig, cow, sheep, or chicken at the destination
• Teleport - Teleports you to the destination or a hit entity to a random destination

Permissions:
NOTE: This refers to Bukkit permissions, not the Permissions plugin. There are no '*' nodes in the new system, so you cannot give a user 'multiarrow.*'.

You need to use the new Bukkit permissions system with this plugin. An excellent migration guide is available here. It will save you time and hassle down the road, as Permissions is no longer the safest, simplest way to protect your server.

• multiarrow.use.all - Allows users to use all arrow types (default: op)
• multiarrow.use.<name> - Allows users to use the <name> arrow type
• multiarrow.infinite - Infinite arrows! (default: false)
• multiarrow.free-fees - Skip iConomy fee check (default: op)
• multiarrow.free-materials - Skip extra material check (default: op)

Configuration:
NOTE: If you are upgrading from MultiArrow v0.9.7 or earlier, please backup/delete your config.yml and allow MultiArrow to create a new one, as it has changed since then.

If you desire, you can require a user to pay one unit of a given item to use a given arrow type. To do this, simply edit your MultiArrow/config.yml using the template below as a guide. To add a new requirement, simply add a line with the arrow type name as the key and the type id of the item as the value. Currently, you may only set one id for a given arrow type. If you want to use colored wool or dyes for this purpose, append a colon and the data value and then wrap it in single quotes (e.g. '35:4' for yellow wool). If you omit the quotes, the colon will break your config file until it is removed or properly quoted.

Code:

materials:
    lightning: 348
    explosive: 289
    teleport: '35:4'
    torch: 263

You can also add lines to the remove-arrow section of your config.yml to control which arrows are removed after their effect triggers. The default is true for all arrow types (i.e. all arrows are removed after the effect triggers), so you should only ever set something to false here. Here's an example that allows you to reuse teleport arrows (thanks twiclo!):

Code:

remove-arrows:
    teleport: false

If you use iConomy 5.x, you can charge players a fee to fire a given arrow type. Note that you MUST include a decimal point with all costs ("50" is incorrect, "50.0" is correct). The following is an example of how to configure this feature:

Code:

fees:
    teleport: 500.0
    animal: 10.75

If you are using the fees functionality and would like the users to get a message containing their updated balance whenever a fee is charged, set the option below to true:

Code:

options:
    send-balance-on-fee: true

Custom Arrow Types:
You can easily add your own arrow types with a few lines of Java code. Get a copy of my source code from GitHub and then add your own class to the package com.ayan4m1.multiarrow.arrows. For the sake of example, let's say we want to create a Chicken-spawning arrow.

Code:

public class ChickenArrowEffect implements ArrowEffect {
	public void onEntityHitEvent(Arrow arrow, Entity target) { }
	public void onGroundHitEvent(Arrow arrow) {
		arrow.getWorld().spawnCreature(arrow.getLocation(), CreatureType.CHICKEN);
	}
}

Then, add your class name to the ArrowType enum. For example, if "ChickenArrowEffect" were the name of our class, we would add the following to ArrowType:

Code:

public enum ArrowType {
	NORMAL,
	CHICKEN
}

The plugin will automatically provide that type name as an option to the user, and will dynamically instantiate and run your ArrowEffect onEntityHitEvent/onGroundHitEvent methods whenever a user fires one of your arrows.

If you have written a stable, interesting arrow type, reply here with a link to the source or submit a pull request from your personal fork to my GitHub repository.

this be happening to me to

 

I rushed and only partially fixed the code - try updating and reloading/restarting once more if you don't mind.

 

Its still doing it, it could be my problem, im not sure.

Hum now that i look at it its different

Code:

This is actually not expected behavior - that is, you shouldn't be losing arrows if the infinite permission is set. Would you mind posting your MultiArrow config.yml and/or the relevant section(s) of your PermissionsBukkit config.yml?

You're right, it is different - and as far as I can tell the second fix that I made should have resolved the issue you just posted. Is it possible that you got a cached copy from the CDN, didn't copy the right version of the JAR, that the file didn't get overwritten, or that there are multiple MultiArrow JARs in your plugin directory? I have tested the latest version available from the thread and I no longer get the errors when skeletons fire arrows.

Thanks for reporting the issue, hopefully we can get it working for you.

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

 

Fixed, its not doing it anymore, thx.

 

@ayan4m1 has anyone mentioned freeze arrows? IF not...

 

No, I don't think that idea has been discussed yet. Would your implementation create ice blocks or just make it so that a player cannot move for an interval?

 

I would like it so they cant move for an adjustable interval.

Thank you!!!!

P.S. And maybe an iceblock at their feet, just for humorous effect?

 

the explosive arrow doesn't work @ayan4m1

 

It doesn't work for you... What version of CraftBukkit are you using? Are you using PermissionsBukkit? What version of this plugin do you have? Have you modified the MultiArrow config.yml at all? If so, please post it as well. Are there any errors in your console when you try to use an explosive arrow? Does the arrow itself not fire, or is there simply no explosion?

 

Config:
requirements:
remove-arrow:

Plugins list:

 

i use craftbukkit v. 1000 . yes, i have insert in my plugins folder the "permissionbukkit" here . i don't have modified the config.yml of multiarrow plugin becase i was see it run well (except the explosive). The console don't make me any error and yes, the arrow is fired but it's don't make any explosion ...


PS

i have also "permissions" , it's can be possible a conflict between this and "permissionsbukkit"? if yes, how can i set up this? this plugin is to be given only at the donors group, not at the default group.



thanks in advance

 

Have you set any MultiArrow permissions in the PermissionsBukkit config.yml?

There shouldn't be any conflicts between PermissionsBukkit and Permissions, if that's what you mean. MultiArrow does not support the "Permissions" plugin, it only supports the Bukkit permission API (which is commonly extended using PermissionsBukkit). Just bear in mind that MultiArrow permission nodes placed in the "Permissions" plugin config files do absolutely nothing. You should put MultiArrow permissions in the PermissionsBukkit config.yml, never in a config file in the "Permissions" folder.

If you want to get rid of Permissions easily, you can install SuperpermBridge (by the same author as PermissionsBukkit, SpaceManiac), then add "superpermbridge.<permissions node name>: true" to your PermissionsBukkit config.yml for each of your old Permissions nodes. Then you can test removing Permissions, as the bridge plugin and updated PermissionsBukkit config.yml should interface with all plugins that support Permissions but not the new system. Once more developers start getting users requesting a change to the new system, you'll see most of your plugins start to support PermissionsBukkit natively, and eventually you can get rid of SuperpermBridge as no plugins will continue to use the old system.

 

KK, gonna work on that today and report back if it is still an issue

 

K, so I completely redid permissions, only using permissions bukkit, got rid of permissions3.x and still it is consuming arrows and firing "fake" arrows when I am out in my inv. Not a big impact, but figured I would report back as I said

 

@ayan4m1
My config.yml seems to empty oO
#1060

Code:

materials:
remove-arrows:
fees:

 

That is the correct default config file. All of the configuration is optional, so that is what you start off with. There is a relatively in-depth explanation of how to configure each section at the top of this thread under Configuration.

However, currently I think the plugin is not fully compatible with CB 1060. I am currently with very limited internet access. I just got the new RB about 20 minutes ago - I'll be pushing out a compatibility update soon.

EDIT: Version 0.9.8 is more compatible with build 1060. It is also significantly faster and more memory efficient, so you should update as soon as possible.

 

i get this error filling my server log:

plz fix this im running a rpg server and this is just too awesome to get rid of Thx! -gabriel11798

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

 

I tried setting up requirements for arrows and it is still free to use any type of arrow, heres my config.

requirements:
lightning: 348
explosive: 289
teleport: 352
torch: 50
materials:remove-arrows:
fees:
options:
send-balance-on-fee: false
No errors come up in java.
Im running the newest bukkit with death notifier, dwarfforge,duels, hookshot,livingbuilding,monstertamer,permissionsbukkit,scubakit, and tesla coil.

Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

 

What version of CraftBukkit are you using? What version of MultiArrow?

I forgot to update the documentation apparently; a few weeks ago "requirements" changed to "materials" and my post here seems to be using the old name. Looking at your config file, the area where it reads "materials:remove-arrows:" looks like the problem. Insert a newline so that it reads:

Code:

materials:
remove-arrows:

Then move the requirements down into "materials" and get rid of "requirements." A proper config file should read:

Code:

materials:
    lightning: 348
    explosive: 289
    teleport: 352
    torch: 50
remove-arrows:
fees:
options:
    send-balance-on-fee: false

If that doesn't work, delete the file and edit it after MultiArrow makes a new clean one - you'll notice there should be no more "requirements" section and instead just "materials." I also updated the documentation so it's hopefully less confusing for you and other users - thanks for helping make the docs better.

build 1000 because noone can get with build 1060 and im using the latest version of Multiarrows

 

Can you add an option in the config file if we have infinite arrows set up that a player can only have 1 arrow in their inventory. Otherwise, they can take advantage of selling the arrows and getting infinite money

 

If I had time, I will try to add such an option. I wouldn't implement it that way (as checking every time a player picks up an arrow is less efficient) - I would add the ability to auto-remove any arrows with infinite set to true (so they disappear upon hitting something). For now, I only have sporadic bits of time to maintain the plugin, so it may take some time.

 

looks great!!!

wait is this 1.8 because i cant pull back the arrow to make it go further

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

 

I have a question the plugin is super cool but very destructive. I loaded creeper heal Thinking it would repair explosions and fire damage but sadly it does not. It heals tnt explosions and regular fire but not from the arrows. Anyone have any ideas.

 

Plugin still works with build 1337

 

I was having issues with this running MultiArrow 0.9.8 with bukkit build 1126 on minecraft 1.8.1, getting the error:

Code:

As I kind of imagined, this was just from having META-INF in the package, so I decompiled it, took it out, and packaged it back up again. It seems to be working fine now. If anyone is having this problem, I've thrown my version up for download on my Dropbox at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24677548/MultiArrow-0.9.8.jar, with the understanding that, of course, there's no guarantee that it'll work for you and that all props go to ayan4m1's awesome hard work on such a cool plugin.

I don't know if this is just a problem with my setup or a common one, but the lack of forum posts seem to suggest it's on my end. If it turns out I've helped anyone in some way, say thanks by buying ayan4m1 a beer.

 

i dont really want the plugin on my server but it is a great plugin

 

great plugin but it needs to be updated to work with the current bow
