oh, and I guess I have already added the onqueue announce thing... I forgot I added it. oops.

defaultOptions:
    announcements:
        onPreStart: [ announce, server ]  ## match going to happen soon, example 'P1[p1Elo] vs P2[p2elo]'
        onStart: [ dontannounce ]  ## match starting
        onVictory:  [ announce, server ] ## match has been won, exmaple 'P1[p1elo] has defeated P2[p2elo]'
        onEnterQueue:  [ announce, server ] ## player1 has entered the queue for <match type>

No worries. I'd love to learn how to write a plugin. I'll have to get back to you as to when though.

As for my build experiment I wanted to update you on what we tried. It's very promising.

We created a new arena of type 'contest' (I based it on the config of an arena type)
I turned on creative mode and set the wgreset and wgclear and wgnoleave options to make sure folks stay in the right location.
When the match starts, it starts fresh with no blocks. Then players can put blocks down. I have the match at 20 minutes since it's a building contest.
Something interesting: Since we are in creative mode and since we can fly and since I created a worldguard region, flying upward ignores the upper limit of the region. That may be good or bad, I'm not sure. I haven't tried going past the border of the region on the sides.
Each match ends in a draw since no one is being killed. Makes sense. I wonder if I can have a judge that is not in the active game that can declare a winner.

I'll stop rambling now :)

So their inventories should be restored when they come back online... how are they not registering as not online... do you have a special plugin that handles afk and offline players?

Okay new bug. If a player lags out during a match, they auto leave the game (which is normal) but their inventories aren't restored. I tried the command to restore inventories but it says the players aren't online (when they are).

Edit: And yes, storeAll is listed on "onEnter" and restoreAll is listed on "onLeave".

@MCCommand(cmds={"mobs"}, admin=true) public boolean debug(CommandSender sender, Arena arena, Integer page){

@rbonafied

I haven't added it yet ... sorry :(

That would be super easy to make actually. Have you ever made a bukkit plugin? Come talk to me on irc and we can discuss it!

Not sure what I need to do with command methods to make it so console can use it:

@MCCommand(cmds={"mobs"}, inGame=true, admin=true)

public boolean debug(Player sender, Arena arena, Integer page){

I just need a CommandSender, Arena and page. How do I do this?

Hi Alkarinv!

I wanted to see if you had a chance to add the 'onqueue' announcement thing. For example, when someone does '/spleef join', the server announces someone is in the spleef queue or whatever.

The other thing I was curious about... My kids want to set up a spot to have a build contest. They want folks in the contest to have creative mode and when they leave to lose creative and the inventory they had while building. I figured I might be able to make it work using this plugin because it allows resetting a region to a starting state once the contest is over. I hope I'm making sense. For example:

Start a build contest
contest lasts for like 20 minutes
Anyone can join during the contest
build with creative itmes
Declare a winner (not sure how since it's judged)
Leave/close contest with their previous inventory intact
Reset build area to starting point

Actually, looking at their fixes it won't solve the problem. The issues were related but not the same. :(

I mean, players are added to the WorldGuard region on join - As if someone had:

/region addmember <regionName> <arenaPlayer>

I've found a workaround though, so nevermind ^{(Adventure gamemode)}

So, onEnter actually gets called for each player, so its a strange place to put world guard flags.. So I moved most of those to onPrestart or defaults.

@netherfoam

@ZwPBerserk

Yeah, you can kind of make this.. But I really need to clean up my code for multiple deaths.. once that is done then yes!!

Hi!

Is this already in the game, or how do i make it:

- A arena that is always on.. - No Time-Limit - First person to get.. lets say.. 20 kills wins. - After someone wins.. the arena resets everyone to 0 kills and they need to get to 20 again. - During the arena they can see their score?

Would be cool to have. :P
