Cool. I already know LUA but will check Python. Looking to start coding my own plugins some day soon anyway :)

It was, and then it became Python! Python is just so much easier to customize so we don't have awkward syntax, and the libraries are nicer to use.

This one is still supported, and as of today we are hard at work on the new one.

In fact, I just finished initial testing of the interpreter on CommandIt, and it's beautiful. Example:

print "Log message: Hurting %s" % player.name player.health = min(player.health, 5) player.sendMessage("You should be more careful next time")

Basically, CommandIt will be so much more than a way to run commands. I'm thinking about just opening up the entire Bukit api to signs, so the possibilities are endless.

Also, this scripting can extend beyond blocks. Basically with this base we can script anything in python.

So this plugin is deprecated and the new one is abandoned?

I was hoping to install this but if it won't be supported in the future there's no point.

Yes, it's possible, type:

/cmdsigns 1 /^skillpoints add [number]

and

/cmdsigns 2 /^money remove [number]

You can even let the plugin tell the player they bought the skill points:

/cmdsigns 3 \You bought [number] Skill Points!

With this plugin, is it possible to have 2 commands executed from one sign?

For example. I want to make signs where players can purchase MCMMO skill points. So when they hit the sign they get the skill points and it deducts the amount from their balance.

Yes, the scoreboard with use of the controlblock ID 137 (has to be enabled in server.properties enable-command-block=true) scoreboard. If decided, the scoreboard can be reset later.

Is there any way to make it so that the sign can only be used once, per player, instead of a duration in seconds? I wanted to use a sign that could reward a player for completing the tutorial (using /*money give <name> 500) and then take them back to spawn. It works, but the longest time I can set it to is 24 days. Is there a way I can fix this?

Have you tried one of these?
%seconds
   - Delay the sign's execution by the set interval
   - Does not lag server

`seconds
   - Pause execution of a CommandSign for a random amount of time.
   - v1.8.0+ ONLY.

Else an idea could be to put the block on a piston and make it move away when hit.
I will think about this, as there actually should be a coding way of setting that up.
I have been using "`seconds" at some of my signs, with luck. But not checked yet if it matters to other players from same group.

I have spent an hour on the redstone vs cmds, testet on a testserver with and without world edit and craftbook, or any area dependent plugin, and i can not get a tiny little response from it. I think its a bug, or author has forgotten to tell os something.

Trying to use this on Item frames but it doesn't work. Is there a trick or is this just not possible?
