Bukkit

Orion,

I realize you have hooked into WorldGuard to allow regions to be blacklisted for bending using flags. Is there any way you might consider adding the following functionality?

I run a fairly big survival server - the members are used to the game mechanics they've always had. We install minigames to spice things up. I wanted to disallow bending completely in the survival world and only allow it in a world that has an arena in it specifically for bending.

I just feel like giving them bending all the time (Or even having the commands in the main world) would interfere with their gameplay. PEX has a world: option, where you can define certain permissions per-world. Would you mind creating a catch-all bending permission that I could use to - -bending.* for my main world? Ideally, this would prevent any of Bending's functionality from being executed in that world.

Thanks for your consideration. Cyan

Any idea when you'll post an update to be compatible for 1.4.5? I believe my server keeps crashing due to this. Although, this is my favorite plugin and I will not remove it :D

Hey SarnjiProto, I thought I might try to help you out with how air scooter works. The instructions given are to sprint, jump and whilst you're off the ground left-click. You should be carried by a current of air should this be done correctly. However, most of the time air scooter isn't able to be performed. In my experience, it seems to me that air scooter it quite sensitive on one's proximity to the ground. You have to make sure you're a decent height off of whatever surface you jump from. Although, the air scooter's behaviour will change depending on what's below you. If you use air scooter over ground that's very far down from you then as the air scooter activates it will push down into a speedy fall. If you use air scooter and whilst it's active you fall into a body of water then you will be launched from the water into the air. There is however an easier way of using air scooter. If you sprint towards a surface that's one level higher than the one you're sprinting on as you jump towards the surface and activate the air scooter it will kick in just before you hit the higher ground and carry you very smoothly. This seems to be the only way I can find with the highest chances (almost certain) air scooter will stabilise. Finally, if you're not able to get air scooter to carry you enough, try holding space bar for just a little longer to get some good height from the ground and it should increase your chances if you do it correctly. I really hope this helped.

Well crap, the thing with bukkit didnt click in my head even though I knew it hasnt put out an update. I apologize for that.

Air scooter. Its never seemed to work the way i have heard and tried. Can you give me the instructions on how to use it? Thanks.

Earthblast, when I bend a piece of dirt to hit a zombie it will sometimes hit dirt next to it rather than come up out of the source and then fire like water manipulation. Is it not possible to make them work the same for effectiveness?

Avatarstate, /bending give Avatarstate <name> should sum up this question. I dont like the fact of how I need to op someone for them to use it. Edit: There is probably a permission thing for it but like the Bloodbending permission it gives everyone access to it rather than who i want it to.

Sorry about all the questions, I hope i have my facts straight this time.. Thanks again.

@codiaz

I agree with you on airblast, it's more of a defensive move to put distance between close enemies or cooling hot threats. That's why I thought of airball, to have a technique that functions to throw your enemy into the air. It would have been for tactical disruptions, a valuable move to give airbenders new opportunities to defend or even attack if applied correctly. It's not really an OP move, it suits airbenders. Even without the airball feature airblast is still a very effective and of course fundamental technique for all airbenders. I look forward to using more airblasts in the future. >:)

@orion304

I was thinking about water and Katara and than I thought she can heal people with water and you called it healingwaters but is this now also possible from a bottle and also possible to heal others? like make a watermanipulation and if you hold it under someone it heals him?

@orion304

And the height is that because of no building zone, because even if i put height on 512 they can't bend but the people can build there

i think airblast is not a bending to shoot someone up in the air but more a defencive and outta nowhere move ( llike if your next to lava shoot some in or if chi comes to close shoot him away) and orion do you know if you can use clouds in your bending or not a good idea (or are clouds like the ender beam and the beacon light?) oh and is it only me or is it every that they cant bend if they are 255 high (has this something to donwith the non building region)

@orion304

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you for replying to my idea. Secondly, I'd just like to clear up why I thought of airball. Airblast is indeed much like airball however, in fluent combat it has a significant weakness... In order to throw an opponent up into the air with airblast, airbenders need to be very close to change the origin to the targets feet. The key to skilled airbending especially in long battles is to throw the opponent around to keep from getting hit. Airball allows airbenders to be able to keep this technique useful at a decent range. I don't know why I was thinking of 10 - 15 blocks, in my head it looked a lot lower than reality. 5 - 7 seems more appropriate and should the idea have carried would have been more suitable. However, the idea hasn't really shown to be a success to you but thank you really, thank you for looking at it and sharing your opinion on it. Your plugin's amazing, my favourite ever and I'm very grateful for your efforts in it. :D

This plugin is amazing so I made a server just for bending and stuff :)

@codiaz

Yeah, it does have something on shift however, I was thinking, unlike redirected airblast that's just tap shift that it would be held shift with click (like cone airburst). I thought airball and airblast would look similar and cause similar effects. That would've been my reason behind putting it with airblast. I guess 5-7 blocks would've been more ideal. ^_^ Oh well, just an idea. Thanks for the input. :)

@nkomosim

I see. Well it was just an idea. Just you guys pondering it is nice. :) It would have been fun and useful though, huh? xD

Is it possible to use another color plugin like ColorMe? Because some of my staff want to change the color. Will it affect the plugin? And also what is the command and permission to remove YOUR own bending, but not others?

@Asurakwesi

Orion is pleased with airbending. He, and his team, are not changing it anymore.

@penguin392

euhm you can bend other players obly not in avatar state, or is this only at my server? :) -- sorry for 4 posts but i can"t edit on ipod so when im again on computer i will delete those and bring them together! :)
