This is why Magic is not a good fit for rank-based servers :)

But people do it anyway.

When I help set this up, here is what we normally do:

• Negate all spell permission (-Magic.cast.*)
• Add spell permissions back to ranks (Magic.cast.blink, whatever)
• Have an NPC with the "fillwand" spell
• Alternately, a pressure plate somewhere with "wandp @p[r=2] fill" in a command block

That last bit will allow players to get the spells on their wand they have permission to cast.

It's a little awkward, but works. Magic was not designed to limit players like this, so that's about the best I can do :)

@Kasamu

No worries! This is actually some pretty complex stuff.

Now, for starters, you're working with some slightly outdated configs. This is the new Lightning:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/defaults/spells.defaults.yml#L1406

The main difference, and answer to your question- in your example you have "class: LightningSpell". That's what makes it spawn some lightning.

In the up to date example, it doesn't have a "class", instead it has a list of "actions". This is the new system- there are 3 main parts to a spell:

1. The "actions" list, which determines what a spell actually does. In this case we use the "Lightning" action to spawn lighting, and the "Spread" action to randomly move the target around (lighting is really OP otherwise)
2. The "effects" list, which determines the audio and visual FX of the spell
3. The "parameters" list, which is used to tweak and control the actions.

In the case of Lightning, there are actually no parameters. You can't change the damage, it's just spawning vanilla lightning- which isn't variable like that.

You can, however, tweak the 'radius' of the Spread action to make the lightning more or less accurate.

I hope that helps! Let me know if it's not starting to make sense :)

@Kasamu

Hi! Yes, that is definitely possible. Unfortunately the documentation is not that great yet- that link on the wiki you found is the best reference I have. It lists all the actions available, though not all the possible parameters for those actions.

For that, the best way to see what's available right now is to just look over the default spell configs:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/defaults/spells.defaults.yml

If you can find a spell similar to what you have in mind, and modify from there, that's a good place to start. I'd be happy to help with anything specific, let me know how it goes!

@Adamantyte

Sure- I will make that more clear in the docs :)

@Adamantyte

Yes. That's why I said

add: -Magic.cast.<spellname>

Note the negation.

Players have perms for all spells, you need to take away cast perms if you don't want them to be able to cast spells.

@Adamantyte

add: -Magic.cast.<spellname>

Latest dev build will shut down brooms when they enter a region without perms. So I guess you could globally deny the broom spell, and create a region around your worldborder that allows it.

By the way, if you update to latest- I think the region flags work in the way you expect now- but I changed that a while ago, so if you were pretty up to date something may be wrong.

And I fixed that issue with hats dropping on death :)

@lathame

I'm not sure either, I didn't know you had a worldborder. Brooms are probably not the best fit for that :|

hmm.. there's no real way to handle that right now, but I *could* have the broom constantly check permissions and turn off if the player enters an area it doesn't work in.

Then, I guess you could create a giant region covering your whole world. Kinda hacky but I can't think of a better solution.

@Adamantyte

Yeah, that just renames the one you're holding.

You'll have to customize configs to change the template names, if that's what you wanted.

Put something like this in your plugins/Magic/messages.yml:

wands:
    default:
        name: The empty wand you get with /wand
        description: $path -< will show the wand rank
    beginner:
        name: My Awesome Wand
        description: Some random description

Use spaces, indentation is important.

@Adamantyte

In-game use "/wand name <name>" and "/wand configure description <description>"
