Which arena type is it? Also did you want it to be a Queue or a JoinPhase?

Posted May 29, 2013BattleArena broke for me after 1.5.2 update. When I click a sign to join, it says, "There is no event currently open". And when I list my arenas and look at the configs, its all right and no errors.

I like the ideas!
for the commands you can use "doCommands". http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_StageOptions#doCommands
For the spectators, I don't have a spectator system yet (i will, but I need other things first). Once that's in, they will be configurable just like joining.
onScore! I like this, I will try to think of how to best add this in
As for redstone triggers, that's another cool idea, but probably best as a side plugin that hooks Events to Signs! but still a good idea.

Yep, you need the option "alwaysJoin"
http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_StageOptions#onJoin_Options
@Namental
That is very odd, no errors on startup? also send your ip please so I can check this out.
@Namental
What you want is to change the game joinType from Queue, to "JoinPhase" (this requires a restart afterwards as it uses completely different commands). Once it's a JoinPhase you can schedule them to run every 10 minutes, and you can also forceJoin everyone.

Posted May 29, 2013Just a couple of ideas for you! I love the plugin a ton and I, along with my friends have spent countless hours playing and making game types.
Admission
I have around 10 active arenas and a lot of people like to watch the events, I think it would be nice to be able to charge admission to these events for the spectators and a way to keep people out when there is not an event in progress. Maybe this could be a standalone plugin that works with the arenas but you can run it for other events. I don't know, just an idea.
Commands
Maybe I didn't see this anywhere in the config, but I think it would be great to have server commands to be set in the [onEnter] or [onJoin] etc.
Add [onScore] Event
I could just see this being a useful trigger, especially for my next ideas.
Add Signs That Power Redstone on Events
I think it would be cool like during the games to hook into the [onScore] or [winner] events. For example this could be useful if there is a scoreboard powered by redstone or if you want fireworks with the winning team's color.
The sign could look like
[eventtrigger] (team#)
(pulse/on/off/toggle)
These are just a couple ideas. Let me know what you think. Im sure some of them may not be possible. Thanks for such a wonderful plugin set.

Thanks, i was also wondering if you could add a auto join, E.g, If your wondering around it automaticly send you in game every 10 mins, like this.
Game start, 5 minute game. Game ends, 10 minute break, Game starts, 5 minute game, and so on, and it keeps doing that all day everyday, like the new MCCW server and call of duty servers. If you could do this that would be great and i would be happily to donate for you to do this! Thanks!

Posted May 29, 2013Hi I want to make a 24/7 PvP system on my server. Is it possible to have people join games when they're already in progress?
Thanks, MojatoGames

So that's probably because you are using the same index. keep incrementing the index as you keep adding mobs/spawns. The index allows you to go back and change one spawn without having to redo everything.
@meower2011
You can always use the WorldGuard regions and the option "wgResetRegion" to respawn chests with items. I'm also adding in chest support but its kind of second priority atm.
@caldavas
It works fine across multiple worlds. As for joining, most perm systems allow you to give permissions for different worlds, just don't give them permission to join from the worlds you don't want them to join from.
@Namental
So the signs only work when you are "in" the game, after you've been teleported. I made it that way so that people can't just hit classes and get items while not in the arena.
