Good call. I didn't think of having different weapons defined for the different teams. I also have separate lobbies for my teams in my CTF arena. That would solve the problem of only allowing the teams to select the corresponding classes, as you can just place only the proper class signs in each distinct lobby.

@didricko:

I can present a work-around solution. This presumes you're using CrackShot (which you should be, it's easily the best guns plugin).

1) Go into your /plugins/CrackShot/weapons/ folder. If you still have the default file layout then you should have a deafaultWeapons.yml and a defaultExplosives.yml

2) Copy defaultWeapons.yml into a new file named redWeapons.yml and then rename defaultWeapons.yml to blueWeapons.yml

3) Open up redWeapons.yml and make sure that all the weapons have red potion effect for bullet impact

4) Open up blueWeapons.yml and make sure all the weapons have blue potion effect. You'll also need to make sure that the EchantmenToCheck values are different than they are in redWeapons.yml so that you can make sure blue team gets one set of weapons and red team gets their own set of weapons.

5) Open up your BA classes file at /plugins/BattleArena/classes.yml

6) Set up your classes so that the class "redSoldier" gets the red weapons and the class "blueSoldier" gets the blue weapons.

More on setting up classes here:

http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_Classes

7) Open your BA competition config file. For this example we'll assume you're using /plugins/BattleArena/competitions/DeathMatchConfig.yml

8) Set your competition config up so team1 is auto-assigned the 'redSoldier' class and team2 is auto-assigned the 'blueSoldier' class.

For info on setting up team-based classes:

http://battleplugins.com/w/index.php/BA_Classes#Giving_different_teams_different_classes

Now your players on team1 (red team) will have guns that have red potion effects, and players on team2 will have blue potion effects.

If you need people to be able to choose their own class, you could have redGladiator/blueGladiator, redSniper/blueSniper, redScout, blueScout, etc etc... then you could have a red wall with the red classes and a blue wall with the blue classes. People already know what team they're being put onto as soon as they join, so they'd be able to look at the scoreboard and determine whether they should pick a blue or red weapon.

The main caveat from this work-around is that if a player dies and drops their weapon then an opposing team member could pick it up, but you can disable drops with a BattleArena config option if that's important.

It might be possible for Alkarin to add a feature that only allows certain classes to be picked by certain teams... Eg,

    onSpawn:
        options: []
        allowClass:
            team1: redSniper, redScout, redDemolitions, redAssaultTroop
            team2: blueSniper, blueScout, blueDemolitions, blueAssaultTroop

...but if you want to request that you should probably open a ticket for it, these comments tend to get buried and Alkarin is a pretty busy guy.

Anyway, hope this helps :)

If you're using Crackshot for your guns, you should be able to configure bullet hit effects with that plugin's config. Since BattleArena doesn't have guns by default, that really wouldn't be the place for such a setting. If you're using a different guns plugin that's not Crackshot, look to that plugin's config.

Edit:

As far as different effects depending on team color, I don't think that's going to be possible. Perhaps the author of your gun plugin could be convinced to work with the BattleArena API. That might be possible.

Hey alkarinv,

Feature request, is it possible you can add just a basic config for limiting the # of users from the same IP playing in the same battleground? We have lots of people joining with 6 usernames and farming BA for winnings

bugs that I'm remembering firstly are:
- ArenaPlayerEnterEvent does not works and it is worst thing
- If world where arena is located was unloaded and loaded again players spawning in same coordinates on main world (Are you storing World or Location objects for arenas? Store world name and make location when you need to make it, probably it's fix for it)
I ended up with horrible workaround to solve previous problem x_x
- "losers" option for some reason doesn't works
- As I said before, overwriting some options not works in some cases (didn't tested add of them)

Man, I'm sorry, I understand that you have a life, and you putting huge amount of time to your project and it's hard to maintain it, but that bugs just show-stoppers
