[FUN/MISC] Cavein - Stone and Dirt have a chance to cave-in as gravel and sand. v0.3 [740]

Hmmm Look's Good.
Possibly a tool To select areas to use this plugin? Could Be good for Escape Games/ Dungeons.

Great idea, thanks for the feedback.
I think I'll add a 'regionname' to the config and have it check for a WorldGuard region with that same name for the next updated version. I have a few more plugins I'm wrapping up now about to release as well.

How does the % work, if I set it to 1%, does that mean a cavein will happen roughly every 100 blocks I break? That seems a little too often to me. Can I change it to smaller, like 0.1% maybe? Otherwise is a cool idea, can't wait to spring this on my players! muahaha

The short answer is yes you can use a smaller non whole number percent like 0.1%

This is basically the check to see if a cave-in occurs.

math.random will provide a decimal number between 0 and 1 and the config setting will be divided by 100 (so a 1% would be .01, or in your case .01% would be .001).

Side Note:
Glad you hear you want to give your players a surprise
I'll have another plugin out shortly (next day or so)- zombieattack! This allows zombies to break blocks when targetting a player... no more hiding in sand, dirt homes, or what ever you configure as breakable... lol!

Absolutely love this idea, although I do request that you host it somewhere other than the attachment system; I rarely have my browser downstairs logged into bukkit and it was a bit of an pain to pop upstairs to get the plugin. I'll host you, if you like. I've got a fileserver over in Germany that I can give you an FTP account for, if you like?

Thanks for the feedback MineralMC and FTP offer.

I've hosted the file externally now.

I have to say this, otherwise I'm going to get lynched by an angry hoard - mediafire has been having some issues as of late, a mirror that isn't rapidshare or hotfile may not be a bad idea. (or even a 'mirror' in the sense of the original attachment method, just so people have an alternative)

Also, I've done some testing and this seems to work flawlessly. Only tried 90% chance to make sure it was working correctly, currently set to 0.01% chance - no way to test this reliably.

Right on thanks for the info and testing. I'll look into some hosting alternatives if I hear/see issues, and I'll re-attach as an alternative (like you mentioned).

oh this sounds so tasty and intersting.
Our server requires that miners have to add planks and logs aside tunnels and caves.
Are you able to add something like lower chance to cave-in if there is plank protecting the area? :X
I have no Idea how hard this is to do, but I am so much interested in this! :O

Also I want the whole server to be caved in, at least, if you extract ore from a cave, it has chance that it caves in if you havn't supported the cave with logs and planks
*tons of likes*
Love you sir

Yeah, seriously. The idea of requiring scaffolding is -awesome-.

Request: Some method of determining if something is a cave or a building. I collapsed 2 houses >.<

That one shouldn't be too complicated, since houses will be player-placed blocks; those naturally generated aren't. Perhaps player-placed blocks can be tagged to be exempt from this?

Possibly, although that runs the risk of breaking things like placed schematics from WorldEdit.

This is implausibly cool, and if you can have the wooden beams protect against nearby cave-ins I will be your best friend forever.

how does this work, ive changed the chance to a 100 to test it out, but i still havent got any 'caveins'

That would be because I uploaded the wrong file. Should be fixed now.
Thanks for the follow up!

I'll take a look into region support, scaffolding, and increased chance of cave-in based on depth (configurable).

@Nytemare3701 , Maybe I could make a check to not cave-in above sea-level (y:65)? Or use WorldGuard regions to protect?

@MisanthropX , @Iceciro , @Zalastri , Any thoughts on how you would like to see scaffolding work? Maybe a ratio system like x number of logs and y number of planks per z number of air?

Can we see permissions on this so some sets of players have to worry about this and other don't?

You bet. I'll add that to the todo list.

That'd be awesome! I really look forward to this addition

this sounds fun. the risks of a cave in are very real when mining, great that it can now be reflected in game.

Sea level won't be the same on my server. We are in the process of lowering the entire map into the void to get extra build space.

lol yeah I guess that could be a problem. I'll stick with WG regions. I'll get started on changes for this plugin. I've been working on joerep the last few days getting it polished up.

Could you support Residence regions as well? We don't use WG regions for anything.

I'll take a peek at the residence code. I like Residence and would love to support it. Good thought, thanks.

@neogeek23 Added permissions support.

<3 my hero!

@RazorFlint v0.3 Added WorldGuard region support.

@Everyone else - Still looking for ideas on how scaffolding should work.

Maybe you can use a similar code for the scaffolding as the leaf decay? though instead of decaying it falls?
