So the newest version of BattleArena, 3.7.8.5+, has the config option for the ready blocks. There is a scheduler to run events at set times. Scheduler. So check that out, that sounds like what you want. The other option is to allow players to start the event (which they do by just joining), that option is (defaultOptions.allowPlayerCreation: true)
@robynthered
Use one of the popular warp plugins, but I'll see if I can add it natively today.

Not a problem, I have no issue with waiting :D
OH, and I have a small suggestion I've had for a while: Add a timout for the autorun events. If no one joins for a certain amount of time the event will auto cancel and go to the next event.

MatchRewardEvent perhaps? Or...
Match.getRewards(): List<ItemStack> in the API?
Also, what method do I call to eliminate a player from the game? Thanks! ^_^

PrizesEvent? WinnerPrizesEvent? ParticipantPrizesEvent?

Using BA's API, is it possible I can determine a players rewards at the end of the match? (Items) - E.g. Add a diamond to a players 'stored inventory'?

Someone hadn't but that is because the config got messed up... which means my auto updater probably messed up... which means I'm sorry. I can help you re set up the config.yml.

Posted Dec 21, 2012Happy Holidays from AceCraft! Thanks for the awesome plugin, many of our players love playing and can't wait for me to set up more! :D
@alkarinv I use multiverse inventories which was also something I was going to ask you to support. I can't think of any other inventory plugin I use at the moment, I can check.
