[FUN] Magic v2.0.8- Spells and Wands [1317]

Spells / Wand / Magic!



Magic is a Work-In-Progress system, the end goal of which is to bring an RPG-like experience, focused on magic spells, items and abilities, to Minecraft.

Currently Implemented:

Magic is a configurable system, set up to let admins create their own experience on their servers. It will create a default configuration (spells.yml) with a variety of spells- but you are free to edit, add, remove spells at will.

Take a look at the spells.yml file that Magic generates at first run. Documentation coming soon!

Spells

• cooldown - spells can only be cast so often
• range - How far a spell can target
• target_through - What a spell can target through (e.g. glass, water)
• name, description, wand icon, etc - All editable in spells.yml

Magic is currently more appropriate for a creative-type server than a serious RPG server, however you can use the Permissions plugin to lock down spell and wand use. I would like to tie into (or create) a leveling system eventually, but for now you can create classes and such using Permissions and various other plugins.


Planned:
Most of Magic's systems are not yet functional. Before I can call this ready-for-RPG, I will want to have working:

Spells

• Reagents - spells consume items when cast
• MP - A system to use a pool of "magic points" to cast spells.
• Automatic regenerative MP, other ways to gain MP (temples, actions, etc)
• Health-for-MP, Eragon-style life-force casting
• Permissions-driven per-player statistics, so players can have different casting costs / MP pool sizes, et

Wand

• Data-driven wands, using different items (or no item, for "abilities")
• Dynamic wand action system, for alt-fire and context-sensitive actions
• Better spell inventory system- I have a few ideas, I'll be playing around with this eventually

Plugin devs: do you want to help? PM me! All of my code is community-sourced on github, you can contribute hassle-free, if you want to.


Permissions

By default, all players have access to the wand and all spells. If you use the Permissions plugin, you can set up individual permissions using the following pNodes:

Code:

Magic.wand.use : Player can use a wand
Magic.commands.spells : Player can use /spells
Magic.commands.wand : Player can use /wand
Magic.commands.cast : Player can use /cast
Magic.cast.<spellname> : Player can cast a specific spell

Admin commands:

Code:

Magic.commands.magic.reload : Reload spells.yml
Magic.commands.magic.reset : Delete spells.yml and re-create it from defaults
