Making a sign a commandsigns takes 5 seconds. The import was just to help people make the transition. Just type:

/cmds line1 /<command>

right click the sign.

Simple!

Try replacing it with this:

http://pastebin.com/8DZHgnJA

Be sure to download it raw and open it in NotepadPlusPlus or something. You should see some special characters. It appears that the conversion process didn't work as well as expected on *nix, I converted it manually.

Please paste the contents of signs.dat after shutting down the server. (There should be some odd characters in there)

EDIT: I just finished recording a demo of all the cool stuff with 1.7.3, despite the best efforts of my sister. I'll try to have it edited and uploaded soon. =D

Okay so i have an idea..! :D this plugin is amazing i can literally almost do anything with my server! even works with worldedit so my users can open and close really big gates i make.. :)!!!!

Idea:

I need a "Chance" thingy. and i've searched everywhere litteraly

i need it for a bankrobber sign<sub>,</sub> lets say "?" is the variable of chance.

/commandsigns line0 \ U'r trying to rob the bank

/commandsigns line1 ?10 (so 10% chance of next command to happen)

/commandsigns line2 /eco give <NAME> 100

/commandsigns line3 /^Jail <NAME> (only if he didnt suceed robbing bank)

/commandsigns line4 /broadcast <NAME> just got jailed for trieing to rob the bank

U culd also make it "?10 2" for making it the next 2 commands to be executed..

Ull be the first to ever make an plugin like that, and it culd be used for MANY things. like 1% chance of winning something big...

anyway this culd be very awsome! thumbs up if u like guys

Hey zdb, I realise you already have a long list of stuff to do, but how about this: control redstone OUT of a controlled block using scripts. This, for example, would let us programmatically reset redstone ciruitry and generally work around the fixed, short pulse time of a regular button using CommandSigns, e.g.

1. Redstone ON 2. Wait 10 secs 3. Redstone OFF

Or

1. Run command 2. Wait for it to complete 3. Turn on Redstone.

There are all kinds of ways it might be useful to be able to script Redstone.

I love this plugin with all my love I have. This is an awesome way to integrate hundreds of plugins in an easy way without the ugly [ASHSGFGSADFAD] bullshit. Thanks.

Just to show you how I am utilizing this:

@pandaraze

The line for checking groups just starts with @, so here's the code:

1: @new

2: /#pex user <name> group set member

Notice that I put a hash on the setter command to run it from console, so that it works properly.

Hi, great plugin but I need some help. I'm trying to make a sign that will set the group for an user within a specific group, like a sign that will set the users in group "new" to group "member" but other groups can't use it. I've tried /cmds line0 @new@ /pex user <name> group set member, but the sign doesn't do anything when I click it. It works if I don't add the @new@.

Nope, this is my fault. I'll get a hotfix out ASAP.

EDIT: I just deployed the fix to the update framework. You can update to it with /cmds update -f.

@Unpluggeddk

%second is just like @group an others. It goes on its own line and waits that u=number of seconds there:

/hi

%20

/bye

runs hi, waits 20 seconds, then runs bye.

For queued commands, I can't help you. Maybe make god mode expire when they log off...

Even better, you can use CommandHelper to script custom commands that can do this much better, then bind them to signs.

Figured it out

The 1 sign:

/commandsigns line0 /god <NAME>

/commandsigns line1 /eco take <NAME> 100

/commandsigns line2 %60

/commandsigns line3 /god <NAME>

Easy peasy!.. :D so now he has bought godmode for 60 second :D

sad story is now. if he logs off, it wont disable hes god. :( and that as my big problem

so i need it to execute the command only if the player is online, so when the time has gone and the player comes back it execute right away.. :D

Indeed.. i know.. :D

but:

/commandsigns line0 /god <NAME>

/commandsigns line1 /eco take <NAME> 100 (know theres an implemented $ but i prefer eco)

Now i want godmode to disable after lets say 1 min so how do i set this up:

/commandsigns line2 %60 /god <NAME>

/commandsigns line2 /%60 god <NAME>

/commandsigns line2 /god <NAME> %60

theres no turturial to use &second so im just guessing here.

Can u think of any way to run the same command again 60 sec after, without hitting it again :)
