Inspired by LightVote, I have an idea for a plugin called BrightVote. LightVote makes it so that everyone on the server can vote for day time with /lvt day or /lvt no. BrightVote would be a plugin so that everyone on the server can vote for sun if it is raining with /bvt day or /bvt no. Thanks alot if you decide to take up this project, and if you do, you will earn AT LEAST moderator status on my server. Thanks!
@Garret2smart87 hmm, im having some promblems with the listener... im terrible with those... ill keep trying
@ryan7745 are you forgetting that it needs to count how many votes it gets, as well as count a percentage of the yes/no votes it gets... please correct me if im wrong but i think i need a listener...
No you could save the votes in a variable in the main plugin every time a player votes i.e /bvt day or /bvt no, after a certain amount of time using the scheduler check the votes and set to sun or keep as rain. I dont see a need for listener, I may be wrong though.
@J4K3ST3R ok, I was skiing but im back now. I dont know what a listener is because i dont code, that is why i made a plugin REQUEST Ok, you'll keep trying, thanks!
yeah, i felt dumb after asking that because i knew it soon after... now im stuck at changing the weather? whats the code to change or set it?
Hmmm, this is whats stopping me, also. i need to make it so that users can only do /bvt when a vote has been started with /bvt start? how would this be done?
Listen for a change in weather, then start the vote by broadcasting whether they want sun or rain/snow with /bvt day and /bvt no.
Raining (or snow, depending on biome): player.getWorld().setStorm(true); Storm/thunder: player.getWorld().setThundering(true); (there's also a .setThunderingDuration(int ticks) function) Clear weather: set both of the previous two lines to false. See this page in the Bukkit Javadocs for more info. On the /bvt start command set a "vote-in-progress" flag to true (for multi-world support set the flag in a "Hash <World, Boolean>" so you can set true/false per world). Then you can check that in the /bvt command. Don't forget to set the "in-progress" flag back to false when the vote is finished.
By flag I just mean a variable of any kind that indicates the vote is in progress. It could be a string ("true", "false") or integer (1 or 0) but is usually a boolean as that's more efficient for storing just true/false. A "hash" is a means of storing "values" against "keys" - in this case our value is the in-progress flag (Boolean) and the key is the world the vote is in-progress in (World). Example: Code: Hash <World, Boolean> votesInProgress = new HashMap<World, Boolean>(); // set vote in progress for a world votesInProgress.put(player.getWorld(), true); // stop vote in progress for a world votesInProgress.put(player.getWorld(), false); // get status of vote in progress for a world Boolean status = votesInProgress.get(player.getWorld());
so, i want it so when a user types /bvt start, it starts a vote for a set amount of time... and if a vote isnt in progress, a user that types /bvt day or no gets a message of a vote hasnt been started... and when a vote has been started, he gets a message such as thanks for voiting... im so lost... lol
also, how would i reset the "votes" each time a vote is started? such as my yes/no votes are stored in variables and they are added by 1 each time a player votes... how do i make them reset when the vote is over? sorry for askin so many questions... i shouldnt even be making this plugin...
You might be better off taking a look at the LightVote source-code and modifying that - might be easier to fork LightVote on Github, add a weather feature (eg. /lvt sunny, /lvt rain, etc) then do a "pull request" so it can be integrated into the LightVote plugin. The LightVote GitHub page is here. If you haven't used git there's problem a lot of learn that way too but it's well worth learning about git and GitHub. Or check out RabidCrab's Vote plugin here for a different example (it's out of date - I actually plan to pick this up - when I get more time - and merge LightVote's features into it to get the best of both).
alright, i know you dont want to explain this all to me, but i did take a look at the source code... i need this, * i need to know how to make it so that users cant vote more than once... * how to make it so that users cant vote unless a vote was started. * how to set a time for the vote... thats it. i dont want multiverse or anything...
Hello. I made your plugin. You can download it here : http://www.mediafire.com/?de4sic1s1d333sr The sources are available here : http://www.mediafire.com/?c3hzso20n8m6skn The plugin is exactly nearly as you requested. When rain is starting, there will be public votes available to all players to decide whether they want to keep the rain or not. They vote using the /bvote [yes/no] command. If there are more 'yes' votes than the majority of players, the rain will stop. You can change your vote. There is also a configuration file. You can set whether you want to use a message to tell players when it's raining and what's the said message. If you want any other features, found a bug or wreak havok on me (J4K3ST3R), poke me with a message on my profile with a link to this thread.
well..... there went my bubble, i think you misunderstood. @ryan7745 wanted the plugin and i was making it... but im not the greatest dev and i have alot to learn... oh well.... i guess ill delete mine....
@CoKoC WOW THANK YOU, one thing though, am I aloud to make it public please? Also, you do get that (at least) moderator spot on my server when it comes up! @J4K3ST3R Sorry he took it from you btw...
